LeatherHead

This weekend is DLux Entertainment Expo in Michigan.  A convention that is based around Martial Arts and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  Bringing such great guests as Kevin Eastman, Leif Tilden, Ernie Reyes Jr.

Throughout his history, Leatherhead has had quite a bit of merchandise made for him. Today we're going to be looking at the Leatherhead action figure produced by Playmates Toys for the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series.

I currently have two of these figures. One of which I obtained via eBay and the other I obtained through a forum. Both of these were loose and complete. The package from what I have seen has a cut out bio card for Leatherhead. Some editions include an episode DVD.

Today we're going to be looking at one of the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles "Action Packs" that can be found in the trading card section of stores such as Target. These action packs consist of a foil package that contains 1 of 8 stickers and 1 of 24 metal turtle shell dog tags. Each pack also contains a checklist, showing which stickers and dog tags are available.

Today we're going to take a look at an electronic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles watch. This is a watch that I found at Old Navy, It is able to fit both kids and adults. The body of the watch is made of silicon rubber with 2D artwork of the four turtles on the band. The casing features a printed logo for the Nickelodeon series.

What makes this watch unique and interesting is the hidden digital display. Pushing on the center of the face causes the hidden digital display to cycle and display the time for a couple of seconds, at which point it cycles again before disappearing.

I use to think filming something meant that we will have it up in a month, maybe two months if it’s not part of the Cowabunga Corner season.  Though with summer long trips to gather interviews and event coverage across the United States some files end up getting dust on them as they wait to be discovered.  With videos sitting from March, May and June for Cowabunga Corner reviews, there’s a lot for me to go through and get up here onto the site. 

Today I will be sharing with you my review of Step Into Reading: Mikey's Monster. This is a children's book adapted from episode 12 of the Nickelodeon series, "It Came From the Depths".

The book starts out as the episode does. Leatherhead is running around TCRI escaping with the Kraang's power cell. There are differences in this book from the episode. One of them being that dialogue was added to this scene.

In the first two episodes of Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rise of the Turtles, we learn of the Kraang.  Some aliens that have come to Earth, brought the Mutagen and have kidnapped April O’Neil’s father.  Up to this point, we have seen the Kraang are kidnapping and working with Scientists with Mutagen.  Though their plot has not been revealed, as the main reasons the Turtles are fighting them is to save April’s father, Kirby.  We went 16 episodes waiting to learn why the Kraang are here.  Only knowing that they are up to no good.  In the episode TCRI we finally learn the secret behind the Kraang’s.  Here is my review of this action packed adventure through the TCRI building.

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 weekly to share one item in my collection.
