UNBOXED! – TMNT BOX October 2018

by Kyle Tobey
written by Kyle Tobey

October’s TMNT Box is perfect for anyone who wants to put in as little effort as possible for their Halloween costume.

I am definitely that person. My author picture is my costume from last year. The October TMNT box will help me look like I tried a little, and I’ll have it year round! This month’s big wearable item is a TMNT Costume Style Shirt from TVStoreOnline.com. 
It’s a double sided T-Shirt made to look like the Leonardo’s shell in the 1987 cartoon. It’s comfortable, easy, and instantly recognizable for your Halloween costume! No one will ask “What are you supposed to be?” They’ll know.  Pair that up with your felt bandanda and you’re ready to go Trick or Treating. I got a Leonardo box, but did you get any other turtles? I don’t know if they mixed it up or not.

Younger subscribers also got a TMNT tote bag to help in their Trick or Treating this Halloween. Adult Subscribers got 2 pins for their collection. Splinter, based on the 2003 series, and a Casey Jones Cross Sticks pin.

It’s another great addition to any pinheads collection. I’m always partial to anything with Casey.

What did you think of this month’s TMNT Box? Did this make your Halloween easier? Will you wear the shirt year round? Let us know what you think in the comments below! And if you’re interested in next month’s TMNT Box, you can pick yours up here!

How the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Saved Halloween

by Justin W
written by Justin W

All over the world, children are preparing their best TMNT costumes and planning out their routes for trick or treating or other Halloween hijinks. Unfortunately, this isn’t always an easy task for every kid, as some of them have serious challenges to overcome. Imagine trying to find a cool costume when you need to use a wheelchair to get around. Suffice it to say, there aren’t always a lot of options for kids with special needs. Thankfully, in the case of at least one little boy, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came to the rescue!

For Angel Stair, celebrating Halloween hasn’t always been easy. Angel has muscular dystrophy, which means he needs to use a wheelchair in order to go trick or treating. Fortunately, this year is bound to be a lot more fun, because he was chosen as one of eight kids who will be receiving a special wheelchair costume for the holiday. The costume was created by a non-profit organization called Magic Wheelchair which designs Halloween costumes for kids with limited mobility. This year, they have made a truly awesome TMNT costume to make Angel’s experience much more fun and exciting.

As you can see from the pictures, Angel is all set to go out trick or treating as Raphael driving the Shellraiser from Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Shellraiser costume features Leonardo on top, completing the illusion of the TMNT costume. Wired for proper lighting, this Shellraiser is sure to attract a lot of attention as Angel makes his way around the neighborhood on Halloween. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty jealous of this kid right about now! Back in my day, our Ninja Turtles costumes were barely more than green trash bags with cheap face masks.

Okay, so maybe the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles didn’t exactly save the day, but the efforts of some truly devoted parents and genuinely excellent volunteers has ensured that this young turtles fan will have a great experience while trick or treating this year. If you know a child with special needs who has trouble finding or creating their Halloween costumes, consider filling out an application for them with Magic Wheelchairs. Maybe next year, your favorite shellhead in the making will be chosen for this special honor!

Ideas For TMNT Pumpkin Carving This Halloween

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Over the past few years, fans have been carving up some pretty awesome Ninja Turtles inspired Pumpkins to celebrate Halloween. Although all of these projects required a lot of creative effort, some are obviously going to be easier to accomplish than others. Not everyone knows how to program an Arduino to change the color of light that a Jack-O-Lantern displays, but most of us can carve a pumpkin and add a few finishing touches. With that in mind, here are a few ideas to help you add some Cowabunga to your spooky festivities!

Paint a Mikey-O-Lantern

Pumpkins are naturally orange, and so is Mikey’s mask. With a few simple steps, you can make a Mikey-O-Lantern using little more than some green paint and a knife. Simply cut out the eyes and use the paint to cover up every part of the pumpkin except for his mask. If you want to get a little more creative, you can either cut out a mouth or paint it on, as depicted in the two pictures below. Fans of Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles might also want to consider adding a few dark green freckles to each cheek, completing the illusion!

Make Your Halloween Green

If you’d prefer to make a Jack-O-Lantern that doesn’t look like Michelangelo, you could always just paint the entire pumpkin. Start with a base coat of green paint and continue on with blue, purple, and/or red paints in order to recreate your favorite Ninja Turtles. As you can see in the image below, a few small touches of white and black can also be added to accentuate the eyes and mouth. Who says every pumpkin needs to be carved? It can be just as much fun to create colorful representations of your favorite TMNT characters without ever picking up a knife!

Go For a Traditional Carve

If you want to use more traditional methods to carve a TMNT pumpkin, there are actually quite a few possibilities. There are several patterns available online that you can print out and use as a trace for your Jack-O-Lantern, but many of them will require a careful hand in order to carve appropriately. With that in mind, parents may want to make sure that they help with the more difficult carving projects in order to ensure a safe and fun Halloween project.

Find a project that works for every turtle fan in your family and give everyone an opportunity to join in on the festivities. If you want to go all out, make sure you’ve got the tools and the know how to get the job done. With that being said, here’s hoping that all of you have a great time carving pumpkins this Halloween season!
