Ninja Turtle News Weekly Roundup

written by Kyle Tobey

Preorders, News, Rumors, and New Releases

The Ninja Turtles are in every corner of pop culture, so here’s your update on what to preorder, what’s coming out, and where to find your favorite shellheads.

Zen Monkey Studios “Turtles in Time Pins”

The fantastic people at Zen Monkey Studios gave us a sneak peek at what looks like a pin series based on one of the greatest video games of all time, “Turtles in Time.” So far all they have shown off is Donatello. I have (more than) a few from their “Rick and Morty” series, so I know these will turn out great!

 

 

Bulkyz Donatello & Michelangelo Preorder

These vinyl figures are impressively big. They stand 12 inches tall and are given a 2D animation coloring. The Deluxe editions are extremely limited at only 500 of each figure, but each figure comes with part of a smaller Master Splinter Figure. You can preorder Michelangelo and Donatello now at BigBadToyStore.com for $169.99

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Injustice 2 – Legendary Edition

The trailer for the Legendary Edition of Injustice 2 has been released.

It includes all additional DLC. So if you held out on picking this up last year, now is a great time to pit the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles against Batman and Hellboy! Cross dimensional chaos! Available for PS4 and XBoxONE.

 

Bebop & Rocksteady to appear in their own weekly IDW series!

Check out the full press release from IDW here! It looks nuts. I’m excited. Coming this August.

 

John Cena at the Kids Choice Awards

The Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards we last Sunday. Plenty of stars of the new cartoon series were in attendance, but this interview takes the cake. Who knew John Cena was such a fan?!

**      LAST CHANCE SPOILER WARNING    **

 

“Ready Player One” Cameos

I’ve heard rumors that the Ninja Turtles have a part in the new Stephen Speilberg blockbuster “Ready Player One.”  I don’t know if it’s a bigger part or a cameo, but I’m excited nonetheless. I think we got our first look at the designs in the trailer, but it looks like we can now confirm it. There may be a glimpse in the trailer here at 1:56. Check it out!

Is there anything we missed? Got a tip for us? Let us know in the comments

A Super Kawaii TMNT Box – December 2017

by Justin W
written by Justin W

The holidays are a pretty crazy time when it comes to making shipments. Although the postal service does their best to deliver your packages as quickly as possible, there are times when several weeks will pass before your item arrives in the mail. Sadly, we didn’t receive this TMNT Box until last week, so we haven’t been able to provide a review until now. With that said, let’s take a look at what this late package has to offer.

TMNT KAWAII CUBES

As you can see, this TMNT Box came with two Kawaii Cubes. While October’s box included Donatello, December brought both Leonardo and Raphael. These adorable toys include a small bean bag on the bottom and they are relatively easy to stack. Now that we’ve received three of the four turtles, I have to wonder if they have any plans to send us Michelangelo in the near future. No matter what their plans are, this is definitely a nice addition to the package. At an average retail price of $5-10 each, these two toys alone are worth the cost of a TMNT Box.

COLLECTIBLE TMNT PINS

Although I’ve really enjoyed a lot of the collectible pins they have been putting in the TMNT Box as of late, I have to admit that at least one of these is not very impressive. The manhole cover is a bit of a strange choice for a TMNT pin, but I guess you could surround it with pins of the actual Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as a reference.

To be fair, the TMNT masks pin is actually pretty cool, and I’m happy to add it to my collection. Considering that you’d pay another $5-$10 for each of these pins on the open market, it’s safe to say that these trinkets actually add a lot of value to the subscription box.

CASEY JONES/FOOT SOLDIER COLLECTIBLE COIN

Last but not least, we have yet another collectible TMNT coin. This time around, they’ve chosen to put Casey Jones on one side and a Foot Soldier on the other. It would appear that they are finally running out of characters to put on these collectible coins. If you take a close look, you might even spot a small error in the quote from the Foot Soldier. Even though I really appreciated this trinket in months past, I’m beginning to wonder whether or not it should continue in 2018. We’ll see what TMNT Box decides to do soon enough, but suffice it to say that this wasn’t the most impressive item in the package.

FINAL THOUGHTS

When it comes to value, there’s plenty to work with in December’s TMNT Box. I’d say there’s at least $25-$30 worth of merchandise, and that’s a pretty good deal considering that you’re only paying $9.99 a month. Although some of these items weren’t my cup of tea, I really loved the TMNT masks pin and the Kawaii Cubes. It seems like this subscription box always finds a way to impress me with at least one or two interesting collectibles or knick-knacks each month. That said, I hope that 2018 will bring a little more variety to the service.

Were you impressed with everything included in December’s TMNT Box? Do you want to see more pins and coins or would you rather see something else? Let us know your thoughts either in the comments below or on Facebook/Twitter.

TMNT Ice Cream Vinyls Now Available From CultureFly

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Back in the early 90’s, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were so popular that they were being thrown on every piece of promotional material possible. There was TMNT pasta, TMNT cereal, TMNT pies – and yes, even TMNT ice cream bars. When it came to the frozen treats, most fans had to wait for an ice cream truck to drive down their street in order to get one. Regardless, these often imperfect desserts still managed to become one of the most memorable symbols of turtle fever.

TMNT ice cream bars were so popular that the company CultureFly was recently tasked with creating a special vinyl based on the item. This vinyl was designed to look like the Raphael ice cream bar, and it became part of the exclusive Nick Box. Until recently, this was one of the only ways to get a TMNT ice cream vinyl, but CultureFly recently attended a convention bearing even more of these collectibles. At that point, we knew it was only a matter of time before this memorabilia hit the market.

Thankfully, we can now confirm that the Donatello, Leonardo and Michelangelo ice cream vinyls are all available on CultureFly’s website for only $15 each. Sadly, the Raphael vinyl is still a Nick Box exclusive, but at least it’s now possible to get all four turtles. That being said, it is important to note that these collectibles are extremely limited and they won’t be around for long. If you want to pick up even one of these TMNT ice cream vinyls, do yourself a favor and order them ASAP.

Will you be buying one of these TMNT ice cream vinyls? Are you interested in getting all four? Do you remember buying the actual TMNT ice cream bars back in the day? Share your thoughts and experiences either in the comments below or on Facebook/Twitter.

Diamond Select Cancels Classic TMNT Minimates Series

by Justin W
written by Justin W

Earlier this year, Diamond Select announced their plans to release a classic TMNT Minimates toy series. These Minimates were going to be based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon which ran from 1987-1996. Unfortunately, they have since decided not to go through with these plans, announcing the cancellation mere days before the toys were scheduled to ship. According to Diamond Select, there were not enough retail orders to go through with production.

Although this is definitely sad news, it’s not exactly surprising. While nostalgia for the original animated series has lead to a few successful crossovers for Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I’ve noticed that most older fans appear to have little interest in purchasing products based on the cartoon from their youth. As of late, companies like NECA have discovered that licensing the 90’s TMNT movies and video games are often far more profitable. If the fans aren’t rushing to stores to pick up TMNT toys based on the original animated series, why order that product in the first place?

Despite the popularity of this crossover episode, it would appear that toys based on the original animated series aren't selling very well. Image Source: Nickelodeon.

Thankfully, this isn’t exactly a sign of things to come. Even though nostalgia for the original animated series may have waned, TMNT toys and merchandise still sell very well. With a new animated series on the way, it doesn’t look like our heroes in a half shell will be going away anytime soon. As if that weren’t convincing enough, we’re also getting a new brawler arcade game and prop replicas based on the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie! With so many new products and a cartoon coming in 2018, it’s clear that this property is still incredibly strong.

Are you disappointed that the classic TMNT Minimates series has been cancelled? Why do you think retailers aren’t buying these toys? Share your thoughts either in the comments section below or on Facebook/Twitter.
