Rutger's TMNT autograph collection updates!

[frank_one]

Of course, keep us updated!

Thanks so much! I'm very curious for what 2026 will bring. I hope more are still interested in my updates.
And still pondering if I should do something special for my 20th.

And my 20th anniversary starts with a bang! 2 months ago I got in contact with Bradford Scobie (credited as Braford Camaron, so for a while it was hard to find him).
He's a voice actor on the Turtles Forever movie and voiced 1987 Bebop, 1987 Krang and Mirage Michelangelo. I'm in touch and he's a great person. He was more than happy to receive my pictures and sign them for me.
And today I got them back! I now even have all four of the Mirage Turtle autographs.

And another great day during my 20th anniversary! Only a day up front I found out on instagram that Veronica Taylor, the voice of 2003 April O'Neil, was in the Netherlands. Not only that, but today she was literally 10 minutes away from my house!!
I had such a great day and talked a lot with her. I made a nice little report about this on my EVENTS page. And as a cool bonus there is also a nice little extra on the INTERVIEWS page. Go check it out in the upper right corner

Last week I finally sat done to do some detective work again and I sent out 9 envelopes to various people who worked on TMNT. Now for the waiting game.

But this weekend I went to a local Comic Con again and one of the guests was none other than Nolan North (who did quite some TMNT voices). I brought a picture of The Kraang and Bishop from the 2012 series and we had a nice picture together! He was so cool!

Hey buddy,
Thank you so much for checking my thread and for still liking what I do! I'm glad you reacted. Things are so awefully quiet here when I post something cool that I recevied or experienced, that I'm seriously considering stopping with my updates and news. It really seems that nobody cares anymore.

Yeah bro, I still care, just don't get round here much

Yeah, I think that is it. Much of the OG gang doesn't come here anymore

I'm still here! I don't post as often as I used to, but I stop by just about every day just to see what's happening. There's not really anything like this place left around the internet; I'm surprised we're going as strong as we are.

That said, I think maybe the "lack of enthusiasm" or whatever we're classifying it as revolves mostly around the idea that when you started this autograph collection, local comic cons were largely not a thing, yet. But now that pretty much every town has a local convention with some of these TMNT talent folks coming to town, seeing an autograph collection becomes less exciting.

However, that it's YOUR collection we're talking about? That's a turtle of a different shade of green, my friend. You've been at this for years, and I would guess that yours is the one we want to see more of! It has to be the biggest TMNT autograph collection out there, right?

[Raph]

Hey dude!! Awesome. And yes, it totally makes sense what you said, didn't even think about it that deep.
But yeah I've been at this even before social media when it was harder to contact actors and less cons.
And you are right! It IS the worlds biggest TMNT autograph collection. Guinness just doesn't want to aknowledge it, cause it's too niche...

The year of my 20th anniversary goes on with an awesome new update!
Today I went to the Heroes Dutch Comic Con, the biggest Comiccon here in The Netherlands. And I was really excited for it. A total of 4 people who worked on TMNT would be there. Gregory Abbey, Wayne Grayson (Vinnie Penna), Troy Baker and Giancarlo Esposito.
Now I've been in contact with Gregory for some time now and we were excited to finally meet in real life, but unfortunately he and Wayne had to cancel.

But I still had a great day meeting the awesome Troy Baker who voiced Batman and Joker in Batman vs TMNT. Also met Giancarlo Esposito, who voiced Baxters Stockman in Mutant Mayhem.
And even met James Wilkinson, who was Mekaneck in the new Masters of the Universe movie, was actually the highlight of the day. It was so great to chat with him!
But back to TMNT! For this update I even had to make two new autograph page sections on the website. One for Batman vs TMNT. And one for the Mutant Mayhem movie.


Troy Baker - Batman


Troy Baker - Joker


Giancarlo Esposito - Baxter Stockman

I believe it! If you recall, you're the one who started me on my autograph collection, and it's grown quite a bit thanks to cons, although you got me going before cons were a thing, and so some of those "pre-con" signatures are some of my favorite. Those actors/actresses - just out of the kindness of their hearts did something nice for a fan.

Congrats on the Giancarlo Esposito. He's one of my favorite actors in general.

You are so right! I still even have the best friendship style contacts with TMNT people like Townsend Coleman, Marc Thompson, Judith Hoag, Michelan Sisti. All before social media or live con meetings!

And thanks! Giancarlo was in Belgium last year, but didn't go, cause I was doubting if I even wanted to start on Mutant Mayhem (I was fortunate enough to interview the main cast, but no autographs from anyone thus far).
But really glad to have Troy Baker, the guy is a legend!

Would love to see what you all gathered in the meantime
