The winner of the Favorite TMNT toy bracket!

by Kyle Tobey
written by Kyle Tobey

I asked you to vote for your favorite Ninja Turtles toy.

We took the original 20 figures from the 1988 and 1989 Playmates lines and broke it down in to a bracket. The character with the most votes would advance to the next round, while the losers drown in their own mutagen. The Final Four wasn’t a surprise, as the Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael rounded out the last competitors.

The final round was down to Raphael and Donatello.

It was really, really close, but there could only be 1 winner. With 51.1% of the vote, the winner of the favorite toy vote is…

 

 

Donatello!!!

Your favorite toy!

It was such a close vote, but barely squeaking by is Donatello. The nerds have inherited the Earth. You’re the best, Donnie! (Cue Tina Turner)

Check out the full bracket below!

Thanks for being part of our bracket and voting! What other kinds of elimination votes should we do next time? Still think Metalhead is clearly the best figure? Let us know what you think in the comments!

Ace Duck Facts!

by Kyle Tobey
written by Kyle Tobey

Ace Duck is… weird.

Even By Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles standards. Not so much because of his character, but because he rarely appears. He was introduced in the 1989 line of Playmates toys, but has been constantly ignored in each incarnation. Ace Duck almost appears as an easter egg (duck egg?) now, showing up in backgrounds and jokes here and there. But being one of the original 20 characters in the Ninja Turtle canon, I think it’s time we honor this running gag.

He appears in the original 1987 cartoon, but only for a second.

In season 3, episode 12, “Attack of Big MACC“, Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo were watching an Ace Duck movie marathon on TV. Ace can be seen on the Turtles’ TV screen in close-up,  before Donatello changes the channel.

 

From Archie Comics

In the Archie Comics, he was a pro wrestler!

He wrestles for  Slump’s Intergalactic Wrestling circuit, of which he is reigning champion. Though he never actually fought or interacted much with the turtles themselves, he was always seen fighting in a match before the turtles would wrestle. The turtles do fight Ace’s partner, Cryin Hound. 

He’s a heel! He’s a pompous jerk who makes the crowd hate him. The first time we see Ace Duck wrestle with Leatherhead, and the second time he battled a werewolf-type monster named Bloodbath. 

In this version, he is from the planet Perdufus.

In the IDW comic series, Ace Duck is a pilot who was one of the star witnesses for Krang‘s trial during The Trial of Krang story arc.

He was never able to testify.

He does appear in the 2012 series. For a single joke.

In season 2, episode 16, it’s revealed that Ace was Baxter Stockman’s 74th attempt to make a mutant army for the Shredder. According to Stockman, he flies, swims and knows Taekwondo, but Shredder considers him completely ridiculous. He only appeared as a picture.

From Nickelodeon’s 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series

To date, has has never appeared in any Mirage comic series or video game.

The back of his card on the toy reads…

The Aero-dynamic Adventurer!

Accessories: Service .45 Pistol, Weapons Belt w/ Egg Grenades, Plug in Wings, Removable Pilot’s Cap

Height: 4′ 6″

Birthplace: Peking

Least Favorite Time: Duck Hunting Season

Least Favorite Food: Peking Duck

We salute you, Ace duck!

Zackary Garza

My name is Zackarey Garza. I am 34 years old married with two great kids Zakayla Bree she is 9 yrs and Eli Zayden he is 5 yrs old.We live in (Tri-Cities,Wa) Kennewick Washington state. I’ve always have bought toys for my self. And my kids (puzzles,action figures) but just wasn’t a collector for them yet.

I had art pieces, shirts, pajamas, watches etc. Wasn’t until my brother got me a Michelangelo statue and my kids god-fathers parents got me a whole series of black n white ninja turtles that both sets of gifts were so fully detailed that I began to get serious on what I was purchasing from then on.

My collection extends to sweaters, underwear’s, PS3 games, beanie’s, watches. My wife even showed her love for me an allowed me to get the four ninja turtles tattooed on to my left shoulder. Couldn’t find what I wanted from online images. So I had to draw them out n let the tattooist do his magic. Took a total 10 hours to complete them.

I own every Tmnt movie but sadly no cartoons series’s. Was given a C/D / radio player of the mid 90s turtle.  Tucked away a 15 individual Tmnt LEGO figures from blind bags . To a nearly complete set of the NECA 90s Tmnt just wait on the release of the shredder to complete my set.

I’d have to say my grail is a tie between my hand drawn turtles turned detailed tattoos and the NECA 1990 TMNT.

I collect just bought any thing like for instance  the set of tmnt pounder drink glasses down and my set of tmnt shot  glasses. My kids were given a Leonardo play set dungeon, after they broke him an wanted nothing to do with it, I repaired him an now i have him set a side with my wide range of Tmnt collection in storage just waiting for the space to be set up n unboxed in.

Recently bought two retro classic systems for my wife and my self the classic Nintendo with 500 games on it 6 begin the classic tmnt games and the other retro console is the Super Nintendo with the tmnt games installed on it as well.

My favorite version of tmnt is the time they drop there weapons n picked up instruments n be came the nations top charting  rock group . Lol no my favorite version is the first series of cartoons and toys.

My earliest memories of tmnt is with myself an my 3 siblings. We would eat  our breakfast watching the tmnt cartoon, finish our cereal and run to our room grabbing our school backpacks on the way there.

I remember stuffing our bag with cloths rushing  to fill it up to put it on like turtle shell. First one with their shell on named the turtle they would pretend to play as. We would then run outside an begin to battle with sticks.

There is one thing I would like to see made since every type of version has been made already. It would consist to be a very blood n violent sin city film style movie other turtles black n white with beach ninja have their red bandanas let the writers figure out a story line.

Brady Law

Along with my other hobbies, model cars and LEGO Star Wars. I have a custom Slash made from a Battle Shell Raphael. The figures on the bottom are my original toys from when I was a kid. Everything still  packaged is nothing special or rare, but I still love them. The sai were made by my brother-in-law, an artistic welder.

(Editors note: I love the Custom Slash figure)

Also- We got a great letter from young Marshall, who wants everyone to know what a huge fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles he is!

 Hello there! My name is Tyson and I’m only 12, so I haven’t had as much TMNT experience as a ton of other people have. I’m a die hard fan of them. I was introduced to them in 2012 on the day the show premiered. After experiencing the action, comedy, and drama that makes up the heart of the show, I fell in love with them ever since. Since that day, I have dedicated and committed my life to loving them till I die. I have since collected the original four, Shredder, the Shredder mutants, Shellraiser, and an old-school Slash action figures.

I also have the first couple volumes of the IDW and Mirage comic series and I also have (this is my favorite) the entire collection of DVDs from the 2012 TV series and I am currently watching the When Worlds Collide story arc. I’ve done extensive research on most of the comic series and I have also written the complete history of Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey. I’m even wearing my Mikey jacket right now!

I have seen the original trilogy of movies, the newer reboots, Season 3 of the 1980s cartoon, and all of the 2012 series (my favorite incarnation). My best memory would have to be when I had a TMNT watching marathon while I had a pizza and chilled on my TMNT comforter. It would be SOOOOOO awesome if I was shown on the TMNT fanbase. I check in every day to see if you guys have posted anything and I also check the local news on google for anything exciting. I’m also trying to persuade my dad to let me buy Injustice 2 because of the TMNT expansion.

I LOVE the Turtles so much and I have my basement filled to the brim with everything TMNT. It is rare for me to go to school and not strike up a conversation about TMNT. They’re my biggest passion and have been for 6 years.

Thank you for taking the time in order to read this and see if I qualify to be on Turtle Tuesdays. Have fun! BOOYAKABUNGA!

Thank you, Tyson!

Do you have an awesome TMNT collection?! We want to see it! Email [email protected] to be featured in a future Turtle Tuesday!
