One thing that is happening more and more is collector items that adults can enjoy based on their favorite versions of tv series and comics.  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle fans have been seeing this with the NECA TMNT toy line, cool weird items at Hot Topic and Spencers Gifts, and now the Playmates Toys Classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line.  Funko jumped on board with their POP Television Vinyl figures.  Releasing six of the Classic Toon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters.  Here is my review of these awesome toys from 2013.

This summer Playmates Toys released two more toys towards the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.  It was time for villains to be brought more out, and we got two villains for everyone to enjoy.  They released the Cockroach Terminator and The Rat King.  Both characters seen in Season 1 of Nickelodeon’s TMNT.  This is my video review of these toys.

Mezco Toyz Announces Axe Cop 4inch Scale Figures Series 1

New York- He's a cop...with an axe...he's AXE COP!

He's the best crime fighter the world has ever known thanks to his trusty axe, his pet T-rex, Wexter (with maching gun hands!) and a group of crime-fighting partners unlike any you've ever seen!

Axe Cop is the internet comic sensation based on a story a five year-old boy narrated to his twenty nine year old brother, who happens to be an illustrator. What began as a simple tale became an award-winning comic, and upcoming animated tv series on Fox, and now makes the leap to super cool collectible with Axe Cop 4inch Scale Figures Series 1!

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.

On May 5th, 2012, I packed up handful of my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collection and traveled to Battle Creek, Michigan for the Michigan Action Figure Expo.  We got to our hotel on Saturday, and came in to start getting things set up for the event on Sunday.  After getting things in order, we headed back to our hotel to wake up early on the 6th, so that we could get the collection on display before the crowd showed up.

This upcoming Sunday, I will be at the Michigan Action Figure Expo in Battle Creek, MI.  I’ve been spending the past month getting ready for this event.  I will be bringing some rare TMNT items from throughout the years; toys, comics and more.  We also have decided to have a real treat for everyone who enjoys Cowabunga Corner and decides to come to this wonderful event. 

Nickelodeon has released a handful of TMNT toy photos and information at the Toy Show this week and I have been taking the time to share with everyone my thoughts on the new TMNT toys from what we have see in the pictures.  I have not yet got the chance to play with these toys or observe them to see how I really feel about the toys. Though, personally, I cannot wait to get my hands on them to add to the collection.

With so many sets of new TMNT toys for Nickelodeon coming out,  I’ll be breaking up my reviews into daily spots to cover each of these sections.  MTV News has released all the images that I have seen.  So make sure to check out their website for what is coming out.  This is just my personal overview of what we see so far.

COWABUNGA!  That is the best way to express how I’m feeling right now as some wonderful news has been released from Playmate Toys and Nickelodeon, brand new TMNT toys!  With photos.  The first set of  toys are based on the Classic TMNT look, for us old school fans who love the original cartoon series.  They have released images of all four Turtles from this new series of toys and I cannot wait to see these on the shelves at stores.
