toys

When I first got into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I wanted to learn everything there was to know about them.  The best book was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Treasury.   Though there was another TMNT book that I used to help learn about the TMNT stuff out there.

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. 

Over the years one of the crazes that fans enjoy doing is re-creating awesome stuff from our childhood; be it acting out scenes with a group of friends, drawing out our favorite moments in TV shows and movies, and or singing a song we enjoy our own styles.  With the creation of YouTube, fans have been able to share their love of making these things public for others to enjoy.  Though not all of these re-creation videos get a lot of notice. Recently one has come up this week which is getting the public attention.

One year ago, Nickelodeon released the very first image showing us the design for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  At that time the Turtles still had two toes, though the rest of the design looks a lot like the Turtles we’re seeing now.

In this episode I share a time when a group of Ninja Turtle fans got to visit Mirage Studios. They were in town for the Words & Pictures Museum and got invited to see the studio.

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.

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.

I have been going to conventions since I was a little kid. So it’s not uncommon to see me wandering the halls of a convention decked head to toe in Ninja Turtles.  Some conventions have become use to me being there yearly, while others I show up at for only the names upon the guest list.  I have worked in all sorts of different areas for conventions from dealer rooms to running panels to even Convention Operations.

Hiya everyone,

Welcome to episode 12 of Cowabunga Corner Season 3. In this episode I review the Next Mutation Toy Line by Playmate Toys.

Much like the TMNT Movie toy line that came out in the early 1990′s, the limbs of the toys is rubber while their shells are plastic. For my thoughts on these toys just watch the video.

Please feel free to leave comments, do video replies, rate the video and if you haven’t please do subscribe to our channel.

Hey Everyone! Welcome to episode 11 of Cowabunga Corner Season 3. In this episode I get to sit down and interview Mark Caso.

Mark was Leonardo’s costume actor for TMNT 2 & 3. He was also in the news room in TMNT 2 when Donatello calls April at work, he’s the one to tell April she’s got a phone call from Donny.

Since working on the TMNT movies Mark has moved on to now work with selling Toys. Find out about his work with Bruder and just how great those toys are.
