MWA HA HA HA FOGU GOT FOXBOX

Cherubae · 08-27-2002, 06:48 PM

I think there'll be a problem w/ people getting their FOXBox's. The first 2 Toys R Us stores that I called had never even HEARD of the FOXBox. The 3rd one knew what a FOXBox was, but their email stated that they were suppose to be given out before September, but there was no date saying WHEN they were suppose to be given out. Luckly she was nice enough to put one aside for me so I grabbed the train and took a trip downtown to pick it up

So far this is what I have up -

The "mimi tmnt comic" is actually drawn by Michael Doony so no sneak-peak of what the Turtles might look like. It's basically the first few pages of TMNT #1 (1984-style) where the boys battle against the Purple Dragon Gang. There's also a video too that comes with the box, but you can see the mpg's on the cd that it comes with. There's a TMNT one but it's more of a "coming soon!" where it shows a group of 4 real turtles sitting on a manhole cover next to a container of ooze that says T.C.R.I.

The cd also has some tmnt wallpaper on it in .bmp format and a black and white picture you can print out and color. I guess you can PRETEND that you're coloring in the Turtles since it's only the same black outlike that we've seen before

Oh yea, it also has a MP3 of the new Turtle theme song

very garoovy.

*edit* I went back through and took some more photos and uploaded some of the stuff that was on the cd. If you can't wait to see what's in the FOXBox (or you're International from the USA and you won't get one) you can view the stuff at http://www.fogu.com/toon/foxbox/ . I don't know how many people are going to be able to get the FOXBox, since only 1 of my TRU stores knew about it. The email was sent out to the managers on the 20th but with no real details as what to do with the boxes; just have them out of the store by September. Some stores may have already given out their boxes and it's possible some others have just trashed them.

I got a box from the Lloyd Center TRU. The Clackamas and Tigard ones had no idea what I was talking about. I didnt call the Janzen Beach one though, so you might have luck there

Thank you very much for your effort! Im living in finland, so no possibility of getting that stuff elsewhere. Thank you!

**Kali** · 08-28-2002, 11:26 AM

I now have that theme song stuck in my head.

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2002, 11:28 AM

*Nickokapo* · 08-28-2002, 11:47 AM

Yeah, I thought it was nice too. Hell, I think it's damn cool, but it's stuck in my head now.

It's a great tune, but I don't want it stuck in my head, ya know?

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2002, 12:13 PM

The wallpapers worked fine for me... In fact im using it right now!
I hope we could see how the turtles look, soon... If they are like in the mini comic i would be happy!

**Nturtle** · 08-28-2002, 12:14 PM

truthfully the themesong sounded preety bad, maybe I'm too tied down to the 80's but I get the feeling they want to aim it at todays kids

**Karpo_007** · 08-28-2002, 12:16 PM

I think it was good... But the original series had much more kiddy theme than this... "When evil shredder attacks..."

*Nickokapo* · 08-28-2002, 12:17 PM

Well the wallpapers won't work for me karpo

oh well...

Maybe I had my expectations raised to high, like it would be just like the original

It reminded me too much of TMN though

*Nickokapo* · 08-28-2002, 12:31 PM

Yeah...i think i never thought on how it would be the theme, all this time i was thinking on the animation...but i like how they sing "teenage mutant ninja tuuuuuuurtles!"
