TMNT Goes Pop Vinyl in 2013

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Over the past few years, Funko has been producing a rather popular toy line known as Pop Vinyl. Featuring characters from several areas of popular culture, these small toys have become well accepted by the toy collecting community for their affordability and ease of display. These are toys that are basically meant to be displayed on a shelf somewhere, and even in their own little individual boxes, they look quite good unopened and preserved for all of your guests to see. The line is intentionally simplistic and cute, with a style that appeals to fans of many different franchises. So what does 2013 hold in store for Funko’s beloved toy line? The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, of course!

It was recently revealed on Funkofanatic.com that there will be a TMNT Pop Vinyl line in 2013! The line will include Splinter, Shredder, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. There’s no word yet on whether these will be based on the new cartoon from Nickelodeon or a more retro version of the turtles, but one thing is for sure – you’re about to see one of the cutest renditions of Shredder that you’ve ever seen! With their characteristic dots for eyes, the new Pop Funko Example Not OfficialVinyl turtles are sure to please most, if not all fans. There’s no official word yet as to when the new line will show up on store shelves, but until then fans are speculating on the details of how they will look and which version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be used to inspire the toys.

As there are no official pictures of the line yet, one fan (user wolverinert68) took to creating his own Pop Vinyl custom toy to show what they feel may be close to the final product. Obviously it’s not entirely fitting with the over-all design of Funko’s popular toy line, but it’s close enough to give us some kind of idea of what to expect. Being that details are still so sparse about this particular line, chances are we won’t see it on store shelves until the latter half of 2013. That being said, at least we know we’ve got some cool and collectible Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise to look forward to this year! Are you going to go out and collect all six? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

2012: The rebirth of TMNT

by Justin W
written by Justin W

2012 was a great year for TMNT.  Nickelodeon took a chance on the Turtles and it paid off. The advertising department was pushing the Turtles at Comic-Con.

The online media usage was done very well. Fans were able to choose what side they would join.  Panels were held at the convention and the actors were in attendance to promote the new show.

2012 also saw the re-launch of TMNT comics. There has been a lot of up and down with TMNT comics, but as it turned out this version was different in a good way. The TMNT had micro series that gave a more in-depth look at the Turtles. In addition, they worked with the TV show. This allowed for a detailed story arc.

The toys for TMNT are selling fast. The Turtles are done very well for the price tag. While some characters like Splinter and Shredder are very basic, they are passable. The re-launch has created a bigger demand for classic items as well. eBay is flooded with TMNT merchandise and it is selling.

Pizza Hut was even featured on teenagemutantninjaturtles.com for honoring a pizza coupon. How cool is that?

As for a movie, that is questionable. Many fans were disappointed to learn that  Michael Bay was changing the story line of TMNT, but not all is lost. The movie was put on hold for the time being and many fans are hoping it will never see the light of day. Bay has angered many fans including Transformers fans, as he ruined the franchise in the minds of many.

Co-creator of TMNT, Kevin Eastman, did like the idea of a change for TMNT. No matter if the movie flops, he will get a fat check. Even some actors of TMNT movies think the movie was a bad idea.

New TMNT Playmates Toys Coming in Early 2013

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Remember all the great and innovative toy lines that Playmates created for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the late 80’s and early 90’s? They did everything from sports and military themed turtles to Star Trek and Universal Studios Monster sets. Some of the toys were even creative enough to feature interesting items, such as a line that found the boys throwing pizzas at their enemies. Well, what would you say if I told you that they are about to bring some of those good old days back with their newest line for the Nickelodeon TMNT show?

 

Yes, it would appear that this much beloved toy company is looking to past success for new ideas. The next set of toysTMNT Toys being released will include four new Mutagen Ooze turtle figures, featuring packs on their back that can be filled with ooze to launch at their enemies. This hearkens back to some of the toys made in the 90’s, which featured similar capabilities. Another line that is due around the same time is the Flinger set, which features Leonardo and Michelangelo flinging pizzas at their enemies, much like the Pizza Tossin’ Turtles set from Playmates back in the day. In this set, the figures of Raphael and Donatello don’t throw pizzas, but they do have a cool weapon flinging action.

 

To put it simply, this latest group of toys is made not just for the newer fans of the series, but also for the parents who have fond memories of the creative and imaginative TMNT play things they had when they were younger. Considering how unimpressive similar toy lines have been in the past decade or so, it truly is a joy to see a return to a higher standard of play. Sure, maybe some of those original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys weren’t the most structurally sound, but at least they were something new and different. Let’s hope that this latest line means good things for the years to come, with even more fun and creative shellraising action on the horizon.

 

Also set for release are the first incarnation of Baxter Stockman, Snakeweed and a slew of new vehicles for the turtles. Look for this latest line of TMNT toys to hit store shelves sometime in late January/Early February of 2013.
