SWEET, new figure info

~~PWDESAI~~ · 02-11-2003, 04:26 PM

Howdy folks,

I've been getting tons of requests for images from the new show, so I'll be
taking artwork from the style guide and adding them to the Art Gallery ASAP.

Today I made some new desktop pix from the style guide images, for those of
you who are interested, here's a direct link to the page:

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/wall.htm

We just got a shipment of the limited edition cold cast porcelain Leonardo
statue delivered - which hopefully means that those of you who ordered them
will be able to pick them up within the next two weeks. Playmates has told
us that they plan to release Michelangelo next, but no release date has been
given. We're hoping that it will come out this year - but only time will
tell.

We haven't gotten the ratings back yet on the new TMNT cartoon shown on Fox
Box, but judging by the flood of positive mail that we've received, it did
pretty well. Thank you all very much for the support! =O)

No firm release date has been set, but the action figures of April, Casey
and Hun should hit toy shelves sometime this spring or early summer. We've
gotten some preliminary pix of the sculpts in - if Playmates will give us
permission, I hope to post them in a few weeks (the dudes from Playmates are
busy right now focusing on Toy Fair in New York City). Casey comes with a
removable mask and April will be packaged with two Mousers. Hun is HUGE.

For those of you who haven't heard, pre-production work has begun for a 2
part, live action television mini-series featuring the TMNT. The show is
being produced by Hallmark and we're hoping for a 2004 release. Steve
Barron, director of the first TMNT movie, is on board as a creative
consultant.

Turtle mania is back! =O)

Cheers!

Yeah I got that too. So Steve Barron is really Involved with the Miniseries. Thats good news!

BigThew · 02-11-2003, 04:34 PM

i love getting this stuff in the e-mail

**Karpo_007** · 02-11-2003, 04:39 PM

Yeah it's nice to have official newsletter.

Donatello02 · 02-11-2003, 05:00 PM

Cool, but does this mean we're not gonna get a TMNT 4 since they are doing a 2 part Hallmark special?

**Karpo_007** · 02-11-2003, 05:04 PM

A new TMNT movie is not in the works. If the TMNT will be succesfull enough, it might become true. But the Miniseries is in the works like the text said.

**DarthRaphael** · 02-11-2003, 05:18 PM

Oh man. I love the new wallpapers!!

**Karpo_007** · 02-11-2003, 05:38 PM

Heh I forgot to check them! Doing it right now... Damn! Those are very good!

whipper25 · 02-11-2003, 09:16 PM

wait..this live action mini series - i hope - will be like the first TMNT movie? or is it gonna be like TNM?

**Karpo_007** · 02-12-2003, 02:49 AM

Probably something like first movie. After all Steve Barron is involved.

*Eye of Sarnath* · 02-12-2003, 04:44 AM

With Steve Baron involved, at least you know it won't suck. Did the first movie suck? Nooooo.

Oh yeah, and now my desktop has a new background.

*Chris* · 02-12-2003, 06:44 AM

So will this series be a follow on to the first 3 movies, just the first movie, or another restart?

**Karpo_007** · 02-12-2003, 09:06 AM

It is very unlikely there would be any continuity.
