We Want FANS for the next TMNT DVD SET!

superherohq · 01-22-2009, 05:53 PM

Superhero Productions is working with Lionsgate to produce more bonus features for the original animated series DVD sets. Lionsgate had never done bonus features before they contacted us and we put together the bonus features on Season 4 (new interviews with Pat Fraley and James Avery) and Season 5 (all four original turtles!). We're working on some great stuff for the next set of DVDs and we'd like your help. That's right, one thing we're going to do this time is interview a handful of the BIGGEST fans we can find with the coolest collections. Living in Southern California (where we are based) is a plus although not a necessity. Let us know if you or anyone you know my be interested. Please tell us where you live, about your Turtles obsession and your personal collection. Don't message here, email [email protected]

Thanks!

Buslady, rose, michele ivey, assemble!!

*Deathknight* · 01-22-2009, 07:34 PM

Damn, my only collection of tmnt stuff is the old vhs. I have almost all of them. My action figures are in really rough shape.

**Jester** · 01-22-2009, 07:37 PM

That's me, my collection ain't great, but I love the guys....maybe I should revive the OT TMNT Reference Guide.

*Spitfire* · 01-22-2009, 07:49 PM

I have a pretty huge collection. I own all the comics for starters. My collection resides in Sunnyvale, CA. It's not as big as others here on the forum but this is 20+ years of all the stuff I've acquired. I have pictures if needed.

Archon_Turtle · 01-22-2009, 08:38 PM

I have (to my knowledge) the most content complete Playmates Ninja Turtles collection in the world. Along with the largest collection of vintage TMNT Wax Sculpts and Prototypes. This includes several prototypes of figures that were never released.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-23-2009, 06:11 PM

-Turtle Tip Shorts
-Top Ten "Best TMNT Episodes" feature following a series of fan polls
-An exclusive comic that continues on from the original series, with which I would volunteer whole-heartedly to write free of charge

Because only the people with the biggest collections of TMNT crap can bee the BIGGEST fans? Sounds like you're looking to do a freakshow for a chuckle. "Look at the whacked out TMNT fan! LOLZ!"

I actually asked for clarification about the subject of their project in my email to them, because having a huge collection does NOT equal being the biggest fan. My preference for appearing in this would actually be as a group with all my fellow CA fans and friends and sharing some of the fun we've had together instead of doing a showcase of my collection.

They didn't address this subject in their reply; they just told me I live too far.

They addressed it in-between the lines.

"You ask too many questions." Or, "Damn, she's onto us."

Collections should be nice, but shouldn't be a pre-requisite as part of any kind of a truly genuine "We want to hear from the big, longtime TMNT fans out there and do an objective piece on each of them" thing. I mean, you find a lifelong TMNT fan that's well-spoken, this isn't the 50s... you stand them in front of a blue screen and have TMNT imagery going on behind them or something.

Yeah, this occurred to me. I wouldn't be surprised if the "You live too far" bit is just an easy excuse.

**Jester** · 01-22-2009, 10:34 PM

I'ma use that when I disagree with you from now on Rose...

"Rose...Rose...Rose...you're too far away!"

Collections are not a prerequisite. Didn't mean for it to come off that way. Also, not involved with Playmates in anyway. Only things we've done for TMNT prior to this are the bonus features on Season 4 and 5. That's it.

*Kendamu* · 01-22-2009, 10:54 PM

Yo, superherohq. I sent you an e-mail. Hope to hear back from you real soon!

That would rule but honestly would be next to impossible for us to pull-off. It's simply not that big of a project. This is more of a profile of a handful of fans. It would be great to be able to do what you just said and it sounds like some other folks are working on something maybe more like that. Would rule.

**Jester** · 01-22-2009, 10:59 PM

I think it'd be cool to see a collection of Turtle fans swapping stories. Would going to the NYCCC and going to the TMNT panel and collecting fans there be doable, or is that to late?

A great idea for sure but a bit beyond our scope. We've got some other things we're doing for this aside from the fan interviews which should also be cool.

*Roseangelo* · 01-22-2009, 11:12 PM

I apologize for being interpreted as "flaming," it wasn't my intention.

*Buslady* · 01-23-2009, 12:08 AM

*raises hand* I'm the one with the turtle bus. Hi.

I don't have a huge monstrous collection but I am a BIG BIG Raph fan.....although it started with the classic show, I'm more of a movie 1 fan. I love animatronics.
My computer room is different now, I FINALLY...well it's still in the works...redecorating that room! No more white walls!! It's still mostly TMNT but I've added my other fandoms like Hellboy, DrWHO and little bits here & there of others junk.
I've done my 15 min of fame though, I'm happy.
It would take ALOT to twist my arm...and I'm in SoCal.....my hubby wasn't overly thrilled with having a film crew here for Fanatical, I LOVED the experience, it was neat.
But I'm not sure I can do another one.
