Shredder

From the very beginning of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles history there has been one villain that everyone knows and hates.  That is the Shredder.  Until now, the Shredder has always been Oroku Saki.  On August 8th, 2014 a new TMNT movie comes to the theaters in which Saki will be replaced for the first time as the true Shredder.  Or is he?  That question is yet to be answered.  Though I do talk about my theories here, in this review of the Playmates Toys Shredder action based on the new movie. 

Power Con 2013 was a wonderful event for fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  With guests ranging from the original cartoon series to the Nickelodeon series.  There was a little something for everyone.  The Cowabunga Corner crew worked hard to cover every area of TMNT at Power Con.  Here is our video of the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles Nickelodeon panel.

Here's a better look at the Mystery Minis, Pop Vinyl figures, and the Wacky Wobblers!

These Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.5" Mystery Minis are totally tubular, dude!

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 “Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Kampen Mot Soltjuvarna” record book.

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.

In 2013 Funko released their POP Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toy line!  At Toy Fair 2014 we learned that there is more coming.  As TMNT was seen through their booth we had to find out all the juicy details about this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gold mine of goodies!  This is an interview we did at Toy Fair to find out what we can for our fellow fans!

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.
