TMNT 2007 Licensing Show news

[TristanHuwJones]

Glad to hear Jenna, and thanks for the support! You can still order almost all the Tales back issues from the official website and I know the next few months have some awesome things coming from Tales! Heck, my own is out in only a few weeks I think (I just got some very awesome news about it from Steve, but I'll save that for another time - bit more personal )!

Woohoo! Can't wait to read it! I intend to order bck issues from the official site, and will have to ask them if they will ship to the UK. Congrats on the awesome news. Whatever it is - awesome new is always great

Wowie Wow, Wow! (Best Borat voice)

This is good news and its way better than the alternative of turtles vanishing into obscurity again.

This is why I come here.

Dan Just wrote back to me about Fast Forwards Toys and the ending of the show I'm officially happy now about the show atleast.

Howdy Vaughn,

I talked to Steve Murphy and he said he's been trying to pin down
Playmates about the unreleased FF toys for weeks to no avail... so no
news on that end.

The plan is to connect the last episode of FF to the first episode of
the new direction - so FF will have an ending.

Thanks for writing!

Cheers!
Dan Berger

That last bit makes me a very very VERY happy fan boy!
And the bit about Murphy trying to get news from playmates shows me how much he cares.

[Kendamu]

Sweet. Everything falls into place... just a little out of order, I guess.

Oh well, I can watch it in whatever order I want as it comes out on those Season Sets.

[PipingPringle]

Squee! So excited!

[Courk]

First off *happiness all around*

Now, what to do. I'll still have 3 or so seasons to catch up on when Ninja Tribunal airs. I don't think I'll be able to fight it, I think I'll have to watch them without knowing what happened in the seasons in between. Oh well.

[The Terror of Death]

Lets just hope Nightmare Recycled is completed for the DVD relese. I actually like Garbageman and the show will not feel 100% completed without that episode in my eyes.

[odupianist]

Lets just hope Nightmare Recycled is completed for the DVD relese.

I think I read in another thread it probably wouldn't air.

I dont know why they cant put it on the dvd like Insane in the Membrane for season four. Just put the dvd or episode as not rated. There are cartoons on dvd that have shown far worse.

[TristanHuwJones]

It was because while IitM was completed and pulled before it got to air, NR never finished the production phase.

[METALHEAD]

*rubbs my fox paws together* excilent.

[CyberCubed]

Thanks for the info from Dan! So they're actually going to tie the Turtles returning to the present time with the first ep of the next season?

I guess that confirms that continuity is being kept between all three series and FF has an ending after all. I remember saying this was likely to happen for a couple months now.

Man, I love being right.

[Scandia]

Of course we will keep supporting the comic books.

However, I'm still waiting for my order that I placed in May,

[The Terror of Death]

I have a feeling season seven is going to be the best yet. Thats probably me just being optimistic though. But still I dont see how the show could get any worser than FF. I like FF its just that I felt it was the weakest of the six seasons.

PL turning down that pitch (I hope we find out what exactly the pitch was) makes me think he really cares about the turtles and he wants them represented as best as possible. I respect him for his decision.

On a side note, here is a list of my hopes for season seven:
Slashur as the main villian
All the loose ends are tied up
Another Battle Nexus tournament
We get to see Mikeys super hero career
Leatherhead living with the utroms instead of on earth
The turtles wear their FF gear or atleast use their fusion weapons from time to time.
More brawling than ever before
The turtles reach the next ninja rank
And Space Usagi because of no FF season 2

It shouldn't be too confusing... Ninja Tribunal stands on its own more than other seasons, though there will be things that confuse you if you haven't seen the stuff beforehand.

[TheShowstoppa]

I've been waiting in anticipation for the last few weeks wondering just when this Licencing show was, and now that I've finally, FINALLY gotten the news, all I can say is that I'm totally excited!

What makes me happy is that OUR 2K3 boys will RETURN!!!! I seriously cannot get enough of that voice cast. I am starting to LOVE FF the more I watch *SOME* of the episodes, and I am super estatic to hear that it's taking a new direction.... THANK YOU PETER AND GANG!!!! You've made this 10 year old trapped in a 22 year old body extremely happy again.

I honestly cannot express how happy this all makes me. EVERYONE ON THIS FORUM HAD BETTER IMMEDIATLY RUN OUT AND GET FF PART 2 IN ORDER TO KEEP IT A FLOAT!!!!!

[Spitfire]

Well tickle me happy

Playmates Toys: movie-themed toys will continue to be released until mid 2008. No decisions have been made yet regarding what will be released for the second half of '08. Rumors of a 5' tall robotic action figure that can talk and do seven different martial arts moves are not true.

Ubisoft: Mirage is in negotiations with Ubisoft to produce a new TMNT video game. The CG movie models will be used, although the game will be independently produced (so it won't be directly based on any preexisting media like a TV show or film). If all goes well, the game will be out in late 2008 or early 2009. More than likely it will not be released on all of the same platforms that the movie game appeared on.

I hope Ubisoft takes their time in developing the next game, and really take advantage
of next gen hardware, as well as address the many gameplay issues of the first game,
we probably won't see PS2, GB Advance, or GameCube versions, hopefully
the GBA gameplay will be carried over to PSP and NDS(and maybe even
the PS2).

A retro-licensing program will kick into high gear in 2008 with merchandise based on the 1980s TMNT cartoon series. Lots of adult-sized gear will be available! Can we get a "Cowabunga!" from the faithful? Awe yeah!

Is there any possibility that we might see a figure line dedicated to the
original comic, as a sort of "deluxe" line?

[Spawn Guy]

I would but I have issues about touching other guys.



My father never hugged me, sorry.


Any news on a UK release for the Lost Season? FF hasn't made it to Jetix over here and the new toon is on fairly spasmodically in the mornings and afternoons. The Lost Season might boost it back into a better air time position.
