Hmm... April came into their lives when her Genius father was kidnapped?? I wonder if daddy O'Neil will end up being somebody we know?

Ah! Spike's origin is revealed in Raph's bio!

Maybe it's just for the toy?

Man, I am hoping "The" Krang is the leader of the Kraang.

But they still spell his name with two "aa's" so I don't know if its Krang himself.

Thank you for sharing! Wow, well as most have pointed out Kraang looks to be the same character from the OT. Oh well. I thought they were going to switch it up a bit. I'd rather have the alien race known as "Kraang".

As far as I remember from one of (I think) Rob Paulsen's podcasts, the Kraang sort of work as a hivemind and they're always finishing each other's sentences. Maybe that hive mind is the "himself" they speak of.

But would they say Shredder made a body for "him" when "him" is "them"?

Oye, confusing...

There's a bunch of errors and omitted things when it comes to the Japanese terminology on the profiles. I'm guessing referring to Kraang in the singular is a similar mistake.

That, or Kraang starts out just being one character and more Kraang are brought over from Dimension X as the show moves forward. Haha!

I really think this info came straight from Nick. So them having a bunch of Japanese stuff wrong seems plausible, lol. Playmates is taking it's cues from Nick. This info is new, it has to be new Nick info.

The stuff on the file cards is old, because Playmates was making those a long time ago. It's the same reason that the Playmates Turtles have different feet, but the newest Leo has the "correct" feet.

I really think the show is just becoming more OT than they originally planned and/or were willing to reveal.

I'd thought that, too.

Shredder rescues one and he, their leader (man Cubed would love this), brings others of his minions to CONQUER THE WORLD!

I've seen some of the incorrect terminology (like the incorrect use of Niten Ryu) on the official Nick website, so I can see that carrying over to the Playmates site. Other bits are just extremely common misspellings (Ninjitsu instead of Ninjutsu) or, for a show that uses a Ninja master for added authenticity in terms of martial arts and Ninja philosophy, things I would consider omissions (mentioning Bushido but never mentioning Ninpo) but aren't in any way going to kill the authenticity that I'm extremely glad they've brought into this show.

They're not a big deal, though. They're certainly showing some authenticity through some of the pictures seen on the profiles. That sort of thought going into this show in terms of martial arts and Ninja stealth skills is completely awesome! While I don't expect this show to actually teach kids to do authentic Edo period vengeance killing-style Innin or to educate kids on the contents of the Ninjutsu Gokui Hidensho, I've been excited ever since I heard a year ago that one of the head writers is actual a student of Ninpo.

Those little misspellings and junk drive me nuts, but that's progress, I guess.

the profiles of Kraaang and april might be wrong because if Nick was going to make some changes like these, then they would have told us already.

What's wrong with it? It says April wants to be a reporter when she grows up. She's not a reporter now, but maybe if she ages throughout the show we might see it by Season 5 or something.

Also this is the first mention of Dimension X returning. We might actually see General Traag and the Rock Soldiers again. PLEASE.
