Toys

The Turtles started off as four little Turtles that were covered in a strange goo that mutated them into the Ninjas we know and love to this day.  This goo has gone by the name ooze and/or Mutagen.  Back in the 1990’s Playmates Toys brought ooze into the TMNT toy line.  Now for the new Nickelodeon series the ooze has returned.  This video review is of the Playmates Toys ooze that has come out for the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

The Men in Black films have a variety of iconic characters and props. Today we're going to take a look at the most iconic prop from these films, the Neuralyzer.

This Neuralyzer is the one sold at Universal Studios Florida exclusively inside the Men In Black attraction. It is the second version of this prop available at the ride. The first one, available since the ride's opening in 1999, was based on the movie 1 Neuralyzer and featured a dial with a changeable year, as well as a smooth casing and smaller belt clip. The 2013 revised model features a package that claims it is an "authentic movie replica" while the original merely stated "futuristic styling".

A lot of small toys are coming to the market that are fun for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans.  One of the companies that is releasing these toys is Wicked Cool Toys.  They’ve given us a lot of great TMNT product with more to come.  This review covers their “Ninja Flashlight”. 

At Toy Fair 2014 we got to talk with many companies about their cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle products coming out for 2014.  One of these companies is Little Kids, we covered their booth last year too as they had a ton of amazing TMNT products to show.  All based on the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012 series.  Here is our interview with Little Kids from Toy Fair.

Little Kids Inc has made some amazing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Products last year and they’re back to bring us much more for 2014.  From water toys to bubbles, these are great summer toys for people of all ages, with themes of characters that people enjoy.  This video is a review of their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Combat Bubbles.

Throughout the years of being a Ninja Turtle fan, my collection has been growing.  Every year I get something new that joins the collection.  Growing since 1989, I have over 500 Ninja Turtle toys out of package and over 300 in package, as well as books, animation cels, original comic art, scripts and so much more.  To cover all of this on Cowabunga Corner is not something I really think I can do.  Though I get a lot of questions about my collection, so I figured I could do random stories from time to time to share one item in my collection.  This one is about Fugitoid 2009 Playmates Vacuum Sealed figure.

At Toy Fair 2014 we visited a lot of different booths with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles products.  One of the really cool booths was Kidrobot.  They had these toys based on the original TMNT cartoon with characters like Bebop and Rocksteady!  Just one of the areas that we had to check more into for the collectors out there who want to know.  Here is our interview about these awesome new toys.

At Toy Fair 2014 we got to see a lot of really cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle items.  One of my favorites is from Jakk’s Pacific.  They made a Giant Michelangelo with storage shell.  This thing is very cool and would look great in any TMNT collection. We got the chance to go by their booth an interview them about their new 2014 products.
