Summer of Turtles

graphic_content · 06-20-2014, 11:27 AM

...honestly if we step back, and take off our super fan goggles...the Turtles (both Paramount live-action, and Nick toon) are slowly creeping everywhere...(like a ninja?

)

- promotional tie-in with PIZZA HUT
- promotional tie-in with CRUSH SODA
- promotional tie-in with the X-GAMES
- PLAYMATES action figure line
- LEGO play-sets
- slow but steady viral marketing, on Facebook (both national, and international) via teaser images
- 2 officially released trailers, and 1 officially released TV spots (in addition to the Trailer 3 released selectively in theaters, and a behind the scenes TV spot in circulation on Nick)
- 9 official posters, and an additional 1 commissioned for the X-Games
- Will Arnett was on the TODAY SHOW
- Megan Fox was on ELLEN
- footage was screened at TWO Cinecons (Las Vegas, and somewhere in Europe)
...Im sure there are more, but I cannot remember, and now this...

MALL OF AMERICA presents...

i think its NO COINCIDENCE, that this kicks off a day AFTER the formal US release of Transformers 4...

...hearing this, definitely lends credibility to the fact that they will RAMP UP promo for TMNT significantly after TF4 is in theatres.

And for the release of the 4th trailer.

I feel for my parent's generation... Slightly. Too old go "get it" and only had to put up with the craze years ago - and now it's their adult children AND grandchildren picking up on a renewed passion for it. lol

It's great to see turtles everywhere, even if the movie designs aren't great, I'm glad some people are enjoying them. At first I read the poster as "Summer Of Tortles"

Well when you put it like that.....

i have a confession i am both excited and annoyed for the pizza hut promotion

excited to see pizza hut try something in a long time

annoyed cause my local pizza employs an awful Ex of mine so i might be missing out on it

There are also some high quality figures coming down the line. But you didn't hear that from me..

I wish they would redo the Coming Out of our shells tour or even remaster it on blu-ray and have a pizza special where you get it if you order two large pizzas.

I'm feeling real nostalgic.

I hope we are able to purchase the maquettes of the Turtles, my blu-ray shelf lacks some awesome toys on it

*IndigoErth* · 06-20-2014, 02:49 PM

Just realized this is a whole Nickelodeon area in Mall of America. Why must it be so far away!

Hey man,

Your design for Michelangelo is truly beautiful. Love the pants and sneakers as well as his overall color scheme. I would love to have a high quality figure based on it, as well as the others. Any hint as to whether we can expect them in 2014?
