Nickelodeon

World’s Largest gathering of Ninja Turtles in celebration
 of new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shell Shock Ride 
at Nickelodeon Universe

On February 1st, Nickelodeon released a group of images of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys.  These images have been around for a few days now as we’ve been taking time to cover each of the areas that was released to us.  Though there was some video that got released later that day, which gave us even more new toy images,  including some of the other lead characters.  This is what I’m going to go over for today.

With every new line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toys to come out they release a new line of accessories for those toys from cars, bikes, skate boards to what ever else they can throw into the mix.  We got a full new line of action figures just ready to be tossed our way.   This is one of the things that is required of the TV show, make things that can be sold as toys and use them in the show. 

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.

Welcome to my review of IDW TMNT Micro Series #1, still in the midst of catching up with comics that came out during the time of my surgery and while healing.  If you’ll like to know more about the surgery and why I fell behind here on Cowabunga Corner please read RSD Update.

Issue #2 of the new IDW Comics has just been released. Last time we were left off was with Casey Jones being attacked by his drunk father.  Raphael jumps in to stop this attack, so that is where they pick up right away with the comic.  We get to see a fight between Casey’s father and Raphael.  The father does put up a good fight before getting thrown out of his own house and driving away.  Raphael and Casey now start to talk and make friends, once Casey asks where Raph is from it goes into another flashback of the lab where April O’Neil is working.

August 2011 marked the beginning of a new TMNT comic book series.  A lot of hype has surrounded this comic release with Kevin Eastman back on the creative team of the Turtles, this is something we could all look forward to.  I know I have been excited ever since I heard Kevin’s name was attached to the comic.  It took me a few weeks to get the book, as the first store I checked was sold out and I didn’t know the area well enough to know of another store to go for the new comics.  After I finally went to one, I read it on the subway train ride to my next location.
