Ever Met TMNT Costumed Characters? - Page 2

*discordiatookie* · 06-15-2009, 06:45 PM

I can barely even remember this, but it happened:

Me and my sister, I honestly couldn't even guess at how old we were there...

Way back in like 1990 or so my brother took me to meet Raph and Mikey at some store appearance. Costumes looked kinda like those in the first few pics someone posted; they were "fuzzy" for some reason. They signed my novelized adaptation of the first movie. I think I was like 8 or almost 8. No pictures though.

No i never met costumed ninja turtles. Isnt there a way i can buy a tmnt costume like the next mutation?

Then when i got a costume for kicks go and do some skateboard tricks or something like that.

(Maybe pulling a stunt like that will make the next tony hawk game feature a ninja turtle as special charater.)

you can barely see the other eye, it is just a very unfortunate angle. It almost looks like the bandana was put on the head crooked.

*ToTheNines* · 06-16-2009, 04:10 PM

Well the back part of the bandana is moved over to the left side of his head, if you twisted it back into position he'd look even worse lol

I met Raph at a Burger King when they were doing the Buy a kids meal get a video promotion back in 89 or 90, I can't remember which. The girl they had in the costume actually knew her TMNT trivia too, it was pretty cool.

Wish I could have met the Winx Club when they were being sent around by 4KidsTV... Someone posted pics of a Flora that was rather Yowza....

This picture always reminded of MOTU's Tri-Klops...

There's another picture of me and my sister, with the turtle looking more at the camera and it looks fine.. However, dunno where said picture is, my mum probably has it.

If I remember rightly, there used to be quite alot of Hero Turtle stuff over here with the bandanna knot places at the side of the head, rather than the back. I think so you can see the bandanna sticking out the side (well, I say alot, I can actually only think of one thing - a McDonalds or Burger King squirty head toy.) Perhaps this costume has the bandanna like that?

In my youth I saw all 4 turtles and April at an event at Universal Studios in Florida. I remember them rolling in with the Turtle van and lots of long, long lines. My parents are saints for getting me through for a picture and autograph with each turtle and april.

They did both. They were at Universal to promote the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour (that was hitting all the Universal Theatres), and they were a stage show at Disney MGM for awhile. Which is actually a historical thing for Disney, as they were the first non-disney characters to appear in a disney park.

*triplexxx* · 06-17-2009, 06:23 PM

I think once at Disneyland last time I went, which was perhaps over a decade ago, think I was too busy with my parents to actually approach them, only saw them from a distance. Probably the only memorable thing I got from Disneyland since I don't care much for it.

doomiscool · 06-17-2009, 06:27 PM

Thanks for the info Archon

I love to find out about these sort of things.

Blade Raider · 06-17-2009, 07:16 PM

The stage show was at MGM, right in front of (or nearby) the Roger Rabbit steamroller. It was awesome.

Hmm...wonder where our pictures went of that trip...

EDIT: Not mine, but still awesome

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-17-2009, 09:50 PM

meeting a tmnt costumed character, i don't recall the year, but there was some kind of kids event at the local Civic Centre where different costumed heroes were there to entertain the kids. Batman was there as was Mikey. back in the back area i wanted to meet Batman, but by the time my Mom and i got to the area, he was gone, or something, but i was able to get a picture with Mikey. so there's me in a TMNT sweatshirt shakin' hands with Mikey. it was pretty sweet

Only if birthday parties count. This is a very distinct memory:

I was in a kid's backyard, couldn't have been older than three or four, and he'd hired a 'Ninja Turtle' for his birthday party. He made balloon-animal ninja weapons which, I'll be honest, were pretty damn sweet. Then he let us loose to play with them.

Now, what do Ninja Turtles do? They fight, right? They're ninjas after all.

And those were exactly the thoughts running through my mind as I sauntered up to the costumed performer, and kicked him in the shin. I was genuinely surprised that a) he didn't dodge it, and that b) he was angry.

"Hey, what's that all about?" he asked as he crouched down to look me in the eyes. "Kicking me in the shin like that?"

Well what did I care? I knew I was the baddest little Foot Soldier out in the backyard that day. After I finished crying sheepishly...

These were taken at Navy Pier in Chicago,IL on May 23rd....Fun outing I must say...

I've been looking at the 25th anniversary photos, and it looks like they're having the Aprils wear a different jumpsuit than the "Kill Bill" one at the Comic-Con. The other one looks a little more cartoon accurate, but looks way bigger on the person.
