I hope they make a cool line of figures! And I hope I can get 'em all before they become collector's items!

Me too. I hope we at least get a new figure of Leatherhead, but this time he should look how he did in his 1st appearence in issue #45 of the original Mirage comic series. Like, he better be at least 8 inches long & have an articulated jaw, otherwise I'll be ticked. The early figure did not do the character justice- he was like, what, 4" long? They could at least have made him 6" long or somethin', he always looked so tiny. The figure was cool & is one of my favorites, but I'd really like to see him done a bit larger.

First appearnace in issue #45? He was in Tales of TMNT many years earlier...

Snailman · 01-18-2003, 02:08 AM

Really? Oh, I just kinda assumed it was his first appearence as it was the only issue I saw on the ninjaturtles.com site that mentioned him.

Guess I shoulda done my research before just sayin' so.

I wonder why the official page hasn't put any info on them.... I mean they have most of the volume 1 issues already...

~~Tokka-B~~ · 01-18-2003, 07:29 PM

This show is going to flop and don't say i didn't warn you....The only way it can do well is if new young kids who have never seen the old show start to like it, as people tend to like what they first see, common human nature...There aren't many people that will be like huh? tmnt? on february 8th....I can tell you that...

**Karpo_007** · 01-18-2003, 07:36 PM

You can't know it will flop... Why wouldn't kids like it?

~~Tokka-B~~ · 01-18-2003, 07:42 PM

no, kids would like it, just people who have seen the old series before won't like it....

**Karpo_007** · 01-18-2003, 07:45 PM

No, most people here have said they can't wait for the show to start.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 01-18-2003, 07:55 PM

Of course they can't, you just watch how many smiles will turn into frowns when it actually debuts...can't bear to think of it...

**Karpo_007** · 01-18-2003, 08:01 PM

And why would that happen? Thhey know the goofy TMNT is not coming back, and they still think they will like it. Most people have even said they like ALL the new voices...

*Kid Icarus* · 01-20-2003, 12:15 AM

I think it's gonna do really well. I've been building up a buzz among my friends, and a lot of the older kids at card tournaments that I go to. I even took my new Giant Donnie with me to show off the new look, and they all liked it. I've also gotten my nephew whos 3 hooked (he always wants to watch the first movie.) and my neice whos 9 loves the videogames.

Also, Tokka, why are you always so negative about things

? Yeah, I'm new, but I've been reading the boards for a while.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 01-20-2003, 12:31 AM

Don't think of it as being negative...but taking the other side a lot...I love debating...

Btw, Welcome to the forum!

Psycrow · 01-20-2003, 12:56 AM

Hm... if the series fails, atleast the toys will end up being cheaper...

**Karpo_007** · 01-20-2003, 02:12 AM

Only thing that worries me is Fox.

cable04 · 01-21-2003, 04:13 PM

here's what i think
please don't just disregard me because this is my first day here, for i do have some points to make

i think the show will do very well
like karpo_007 [can i call you karpo?], FOX worries me. foxbox seems to be airing nothing but garbage currently, and they have proven their incompetence before

TMNT has a cult following, so i don't know how many new kids will like it, but every one i tell at school has gotten excited when i tell them about it!

also, batman TAS was very well done. it wasn't as dark as batman was in the eighties, but it definately was not goofy

also, i skimmed a few of the episode synopsis [just very scantily... i want to be surprized] and it does not seem like it will have the preverbial "monster of the week" as some shows do

also, i'm pretty happy with the voice cast. leo sounds kinda corny, and april is the same person as ash ketchum, but other than that, it's pretty good

**Karpo_007** · 01-21-2003, 04:23 PM

Yeah Fox has a pretty bad reputation in cancelling good shows... But then again, They have used a lot of money to advertaise the show, so that can be considered as a good sign. And welcome to the board, and please switch to normal text...

*heretic888* · 01-21-2003, 05:56 PM

Fox has been advertizing the absolute piss outta the tmnt series..... i think they are really, really hoping to make this their 'main' show. the potential for this series is just so good......

**Karpo_007** · 01-21-2003, 05:59 PM

Main show is a good choice of words, The rest of the Fox box is crap. There is no nice way saying it.

*heretic888* · 01-21-2003, 06:03 PM

stargate infinitey HAD potential, but they just handled it so poorly. Ultimate Muscle is amusing, but kinds stupid. kirby, ultraman, and fighting foodons are just crap.

**Nturtle** · 01-21-2003, 06:14 PM

Well I can't think of one good fox cartoon, ever. Fox is a really horrible channel in the first place, so I think they are couning on TMNT to pull it out of the dumps
