Cowabunga Corner

The world has gone through a lot of changes for 2020.  One of those changes is people wearing masks everywhere.  A Virus has taken the world by storm, and if people want to believe it or not, it’s hit us hard.  So many people I have personally known have been lost to this virus and I for one take it seriously.  Though wearing the masks have been a challenge for me, as I love having my clothes carry a theme.  I was wearing a green one, but I wanted one made for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  And to my excitement, they have been appearing all over the internet.  So I finally got my hands on some awesome Ninja Turtle Face Masks.  Which we will be giving two away!

Where have I been?  That’s a story for another day.  What’s new with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is much more exciting and fun.  In June 1991 a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pinball Machine hit the market.  Found at Arcades, bars, movie theaters and more around the world.  This game was made by Data East USA, Inc.  As a kid I did not see this game in person till I got to play it at the Words & Pictures Museum in Northampton, MA.  I totally loved the game and almost bought one for myself at $1,000 in the early 2000’s.  I really wanted to own one, but things fell through and it remains one of the things that is not in

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have so many different things that get people to think about them.  Some of the most powerful things to bring the Turtles to minds are pizza and the word Cowabunga!  These were first introduced to Ninja Turtles in the 1987 cartoon series.  Right away in the very first episode we learn of the Turtles’ love for pizza and Michaelangelo breaks out into the call “Cowabunga!” as he surfs through a flooding building.  These were things written into the Turtles by David Wise.  A writer who helped turn the Turtles from an adult comic book where the Turtles were trained to kill the S

Turtle Fans we have something to be excited about!  Adult TMNT fans, those of us who’ve been there for years seem to get the back burner for needs in a good show or movie.  The main area that usually gives us good stories and characters that think about us fans, is the Comics.  IDW has been amazing and keeps throwing things out there for us fans to embrace.  While the movies and shows keep giving us strong changes that leaves the areas of the Turtles that we know.  While new is good, it’s also nice to remember that the Turtles are still here because they work.  You don’t need to fix something that is not broken, and Batman vs.

Cowabunga Corner is a place where we can have fun and share the things we love.  One of the many things we love is toys!  Often we try to share stories about Toys, be it Blind Bag openings, interviews with amazing Toy people and reviews of the neat things coming to the market.  Be it Ninja Turtles or not, toys bring happiness to people and we love that feeling!  And there’s no better event to cover on the subject than Toy Fair.  Though the last few years my health has been too poor to make the trip, which was almost the case for this year.  But things changed making it so Miki and I could make the trip.  Here is the tale of how we almost did not make it to Toy Fai
