2023–2024 and Christmas and holiday season

Tomorrow is the American Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday. The upcoming week, this is followed up with the First Advent Sunday.

I haven't cared for Christmas gifts for years but I still enjoy the season, with all the candles, movies and music and all of the fun that happens in the Western World between late November and early January.

TMNT supposedly has a new MM themed float in the Macy's Thanksgiving parade tomorrow. Hope a couple good pics show up online.

Edit: Won't share directly, so here's the link.

It was the four Turtles in the Mutant Mayhem designs. There were depictions of Bebop,Rocksteady,and Superfly as well as foot soldiers built into the float. What did the singer have to do with Ninja Turtles? It was like a random float and musician were thrown together with zero connection to the other.

Always the way. The Toys R Us singer and song couldn't have more random either.


I'm sad not to see the FW Leo balloon, that was new last year, back for the Philadelphia parade. Maybe he showed up during commercials. Had hoped for another chance for their 40th to be mentioned. Hopefully next year... Edit: Darn, a list of new and returned balloons doesn't include him.

They better not have broken him after one use. >.> Windy down this way, too, so maybe better they spared him. Goodness knows those Macy's balloons were having a hard time this year.

Anyone get TMNT stuff?

Finally have the compete 2003 DVD set and got the talking MM Leo. Plus money and gift card, one of which will prob go to Ronin Leo.

edit: Also just handed an unused end cap display piece from Spirit Halloween. Too lazy to get a pic, but it's the same as this one. (Bother-in-law typically works for Spirit during its season and supposedly they didn't get the TMNT stuff that went with it so he kept it.)

Got a t-shirt and some decals. And I don't know if this counts, but I also got the Anbernic RG 35XX handheld game device. It's loaded with ROMs and has about fifteen TMNT games on it.

Last year I got the Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady statues by PCS.

Anyway, a Merry Happy Hoo-hah to everybody. Cheers!

Wanted to buy a used Krang figurine from 1989...of course, when I was about to do it, it was sold. Guess another 30 years of waiting.

This kind of counts as 'Turtles Stuff' but the family let me watch "Return of the Techodrome" on Christmas Eve during their Paramount+ strolling, we watched Frasier afterwards.
