Where can I find some 4Kids series merchandise?
The last time I saw a 4Kids series t-shirt was around 2009 for the 25th anniversary. It was neon green with the logo printed in black. Nowadays, if you want a t-shirt with the 2003 Turtles on it, you have to make your own or buy a custom design from a place like Redbubble. The halloween costumes were still using the 4Kids design until the Nick show premiered. I also bought a popsicle with the 2003 Turtles on the wrapper in 2013. Surprisingly enough, Heroclix released Sliver and Cyber Shredder game pieces in 2017. I'd like to see more posters too. In 2003, I used to have this cool poster of Raphael, two Foot Ninjas, and Shredder and I would like to buy it again, but I can't find it anywhere. Will we see more 4Kids series merchandise in the 2020s or will it continue to remain in obscurity?

You'll just have to resort to copping old stuff on ebay, yo.

Nickelodeon has a weird aversion to that series. I would not count on anything new happening.

They're not shy about putting clips and videos from the series on their social media sites, and it always ends with a screen that says "See more TMNT on Nick".
I don't have cable, so I'm curious, by "more tmnt" do they just mean TMNT in general, or do they show the 2k3 series at all?

No Krang, Beebop, or Mutagen Man? Then it doesn't count!

They've never done anything more with this series (not that I've come across at least), so the clips on social media are so strange. I wish they'd embrace that version more, and it's a shame they probably won't. I'd love to see another series like it someday. (Or heck, pick up where it left off but that level of art detail of the first several seasons just doesn't seem to be a thing cartoon producers are willing to do much anymore.)
But, yeah, eBay. Never know what may turn up eventually. I enjoy looking from time to time to see if anything interesting has turned up. Last edited by IndigoErth; 03-06-2019 at 12:22 PM. |

I know this is off topic, but is/was it available on US cable/streaming sites out of instance? Up until last week Nick put it on Sky (the UK's main satellite tv company) for streaming/digital download with a subscription. Would seem weird for it to be on UK streaming sites and not US ones.

Nope, have one of the major cable services and it has never been available through it. Weird indeed. I envy you guys.
No Netflix either. Maybe it's available via something else I don't have? (Heck, even 2012 was only available for a short time, maybe for about one season mid-series. Looks like 'Rise' is though, go figure.) |

I think you need to check eBay for old 2K3 items, I don't think we'll see new stuff based on that series, and if they release something, maybe that will be the full DVD set. My wish if that Neca released accurate figures of that show.

After 7 years, I finally found it!
I have been looking for this poster since 2012! I got it at Walmart in September, 2003 during Hurricane Isabel, along with the Raphael/Foot poster I already mentioned. It's the four Turtles on each corner posing with their respective colors and the logo in the center. You can find high quality images online of each Turtle in that style, but not the logo. However, the posters must have gotten trashed or lost in a move a few years afterwards. After the 2012 Nick show was announced, I wondered if I could still buy them online, but I could only find low resolution pictures. I was looking on eBay a few weeks ago and I finally found one, sealed and new! It arrived today, but I haven't opened it because I don't have a frame for it yet. For something that must have been in various storage conditions for 15 years, it looks like it has held up pretty well, so hopefully it's not too wrinkled when opened.
Here are some pictures. Spoiler:

I've got a TMNT shirt that I bought from a site called Qwertee. It's an original design, but judging by the poses and the overall designs, they definitely resemble 2k3:

Our power went out for several days, so we went shopping to stock up. I think it calmed down by then. We weren't hit as bad. It was mostly just fallen trees and broken fences from what I remember. Luckily, it came back just in time for Saturday morning cartoons.

Around the time 2k12 was coming out I was finding 4kids toy auctions at incredible prices on ebay. i'm sure with some patience you can still find some really good deals. Keep on eye out for lots of figures, that's where you can get the best deals

Right now, what I really need is a 2002 pair of nunchakus (I went through two pairs of those things) and a single 2002 sai. There was a website where you could specifically buy TMNT accessories, but I forgot what it was called and chances are those are out of stock. |

Are we talking figure accessories or role play accessories?
Got me wandering off to browse through 2003 stuff on ebay, searched clothing and just saw one random RP sai among them for some reason. Going to assume not that one, but figured I'd toss it out there. |
