If there is a change of heart in Mirage lately, its a pretty good one.

Mirage has always owned the license to ALL the old toon or Archie characters, they just chose not to use them. There are no "rights" that prevents Mirage from doing stuff with Rocksteady, Bebop, Krang, Slash, etc.

A toy based on an Archie comics character.... this is not happening. I was hit buy that bus and I'm in heaven.

Of course, I'd kill for a "Jess Harley" Leather Head too.... but ain't gonna happen.

Jagwar is half Jaguar/half human. Yesuree...Bestiality was present and accounted for in the Archie series.

His mother, Juntara, was a native of a small villiage in Brazil who wanted more out of her life. So she went on a quest for enlightenment. First she went South and encountered a snake god to figuratively shed her skin of her old life (the turtles would eventually encounter the snake god...he was a bit of a ditz). Then she went West and encountered Jaguar, the god of death (he also goes by a rather familiar name if you saw the movie... Jaguar aka Yaotl). She fell in love with Jaguar and they had a child (he was in cat form the entire time BTW...*lol*). Eventually she left her love and son (Jagwar was 12 at the time) to continue her path.

The turtles first encounter Jagwar in Brazil at a temple dedicated to Yaotl. He is trying his best to stop the deforestation occuring there (note: read an article today that deforestation has dropped sharply in that area

). He helps them save April (who is doing some report there) and joins em on their adventures. He eventually helps to form a new team of anthromorphic heroes called The Mighty Mutanimals (a spin-off series came out of it). Unfortunatly Jagwar and the rest of the mutanimals were brutily murdered.

Jagwar's one of my fave characters out of the Archie series other than Ninjara, so Im TOTALLY happy that they're making an action figure of him.

Oh here's a pic of Jagwar (taken from the TMNT Archie Universe Sourcebooks):

thanks for the bio, even though i never read the archie comics i'm really glad about this line as it poses the possibility of us getting new figures from various mediums along with new characters and hopefully characters from the 2003 toon.

has anyone else thought that their might be a connection between jagwar, our three other new nameless friends and the new TMNT cartoon thats supposed to be released sometime next year?

*VaughnMichael* · 08-10-2007, 11:15 PM

I'm gonna sound ungreatfull but I don't like how he looks....he looks more like Rahzar to me than Jagwar...

Meh, let's just hope it's not a final product.

*gobo* · 08-10-2007, 11:32 PM

I find the promise of a Jagwar fig quite alluring. But, no longer do I collect action figures. However, if they make an Armaggon... ^_^!!!

It's a different style for him, yes.. but look at all the detail he's got! And that's been one of your big complaints! And keep in mind he's sculpted to fit the CGI world, not the comic book world.

News of an Armaggon will be my heart attack-inducing moment. And how can you have Armaggon without Verminator X? But I really shouldn't get too hopeful too fast here...

yeah and I'm one of the people who hate the cgi worlds look...I'll take comic turtles any day over lizard looking ones.
And I hate his arm position he's gonna be elbowing all of my figures with that articulation lol

Oh well it's cool and all but it's just not Jagwar to me.
It's the head I'll be honest I also think it's the lack of pupils like I said in Murphys blog thats doing this to me...he looks to Evil I really hope they don't make him a bad guy...

It's like I also said to him it's not that I don't like the figure it's bad ass it's just not the Jagwar I know.
I'm looking over the figure now the detail is nice considering that it's based on the cgi world which is all rubbery and plastic looking for most characters...but I notice he has little spots perhaps it's not a fully painted proto type.
I'll be buying it anyways perhaps I'll just take the parts off I don't like and resculpt it to look more like the Archie version.

*Roseangelo* · 08-10-2007, 11:50 PM

Oh come on, adding pupils to a figure is the easiest mod you can make.

yeah true his fur colour is also off it's to dark...but I guess I can change that also...was expecting leafs on him I guess but like I said I'm gonna sculpt all of that...the head resculpting is going to be the hardest part...his head looks to large to me.

mattmanw54301 · 08-10-2007, 11:54 PM

Anyone know what scale it will be? TMNT 2k3 scale or movie figure scale?

I'd Imagine Movie...which really doesn't bother me because Jagwars pretty large.

mattmanw54301 · 08-11-2007, 12:01 AM

So I'd imagine this 'Global Mutant Missions' thing is the theme for the 08 series eh? Could be cool. I think what they are trying to do is give us some updated versions of the Archie characters along with the 4 Turtles. Which is cool. It's not a vintage Mutanimals line, but it's a start!!!!!

*CyberCubed* · 08-11-2007, 12:05 AM

Hey, imagine if these mutants appear in the new direction for the cartoon in 2008? :p

I could see them using Armaggon, maybe.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-11-2007, 12:12 AM

Well you gotta realize that the sculpts don't always resemble the finished product.

An Armaggon figure would be nice....but a Ninjara figure would be even nicer.

The only time that really ever falls into place is with the paint jobs not the sculpting I know I've been collecting action figures and proto types for a long time.
