Anyone been to the Smithsonian in Washingon DC?

Hyper Metal Sonic · 03-03-2004, 09:44 PM

I was just wondering if anyone here has been to the Smithsonian in Washington DC. I've been twice. Once in '97, I believe, and once in 2001.

If you went, you saw this. I saw it both times I went and I was just wondering if anyone else had. It was cool to see.

Note: That is NOT me...that's just the only/best picture I could find of what I'm refering to.

Ahh, psychotic Mikey! He's gonna kill the KID!!!!!

*Deathknight* · 03-03-2004, 10:05 PM

wow, that model of Mikey is pretty bad looking. That's worse than the 3rd movie costumes.

*Kid Icarus* · 03-03-2004, 10:08 PM

That Mikey's olmost better than the one in my avatar XD

Yeah, I've been there, but it was in the 80's sometime.. I don't think they had the psycho Mike then. I remember they had some other stuff though like a display of Superman comics and a Kermit the frog puppet.

Another thing that sticks out in my mind is Mr. Rogers sweater.

The Mike there is towards the end of an exhibit on the atomic bomb (And thus, the effects of radiation), it's rise in the 50s, and the complete public scare from it. They have an actual bomb shelter on display that was dug out of someone's yard, and they even have pictures up of them digging it out. Very cool stuff.

I've never been, but I'd like to someday. I want to see Archie and Edith's chair's from All in the Family.

*damnhooligan* · 03-04-2004, 09:25 AM

I used to go to the Smithsonian when I lived in DC, but more often than not, frequented the Natural History Museum and the Air and Space Museum.

I'm kinda glad I never saw that thing as a child, because undoubtedly, it would have spawned a few nightmares. Glad to see a Ninja Turtles go down in history, though.

But the kid has Dr. John Hammond and the robot from Metropolis watching his back.

*raphael_is_cool* · 03-04-2004, 10:22 AM

But it is an evil robot!

Orochi Chimera · 03-04-2004, 10:49 AM

Mikey has those freaky bug eyes there. Was that from the second movie?

*Krutch* · 03-05-2004, 02:57 AM

i think its the one from the third flick....i know the eyes look messed but without anything to control them they look a little messed.

Anybody remember that pic of the Donatello suit from Ooze?

Hyper Metal Sonic · 03-05-2004, 05:31 AM

I'm also thinking maybe those are just replacement eyes or something and they took the actual operational ones out.

Or maybe it's one of the "action" suits. (Without the anamatronic heads)

*Raven* · 03-05-2004, 06:59 AM

man it looks like mikey snapped

**azure turtle** · 03-05-2004, 11:13 AM

LOL!

I vaguely remember that display. Don't think I took any pictures of it, unfortunately.

*R-iZZy* · 03-05-2004, 11:33 AM

LMAO!!! That picture looks like Mikey at a pizza shortage.

JoshBYawn · 03-05-2004, 05:05 PM

It's the TMNT 3 stunt Mikey with eyes replaced so they stay open.

*Buslady* · 03-05-2004, 11:51 PM

ok that is scary looking...really.

It's pretty lame when they use the WORST movie's costume which is a very poor representation of our heros.

*Roseangelo* · 03-06-2004, 12:30 AM

I went to DC in 91 or 92.. no TMNT in the Smithsonian then as that's definately a 3rd movie costume.
