So, I seem to remember once I was lamenting how there never seemed to be a human Baxter Stockman toy.
Okay, time for some honesty here. Raise your hand if you work for NECA and are viewing these boards for ideas.

I've got a friend who's been wanting an action figure of the human version of '87 Baxter Stockman since... well, 1987.So, I seem to remember once I was lamenting how there never seemed to be a human Baxter Stockman toy.
Ninja Turtles and Masters of the Universe are getting a comic crossover.

New Dark Horse ”TURTLES OF GRAYSKULL” four issue comic series debuts September 25th 2024!
Back in 2020, a joint production was secretly being worked on between DC Comics and IDW Publishing where the characters of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be transported into the world of Eterni…

I'm a little late to talking about this, but maybe better late than never? Just as a PSA.
Do you remember me mentioning that fan-continuation of the Archie Comic's Forever War arc? It might have been a few years since I last mentioned it. It's in no way "official". But, it does feature one of the artists from Archie's TMNT Adventures run trying to finish out this long-teased story.
Well, it's out now. People are getting their copies. It exists. And I'm pretty sure you can still get a copy.
www.turtlemania.ru
And here's the discussion thread to prove, yes, it exists and people are reading it:
You have to contact someone through their hotmail account. And I believe the most "basic" hardcover version with all 5 issues costs around $100, so it's a little expensive for a fan-comic. And the comics are being printed in Russia, I believe, so it may take some time to get to you. But, they do exist. From what I can tell, they have no plans to release a digital edition, so if you want it you probably have to get it physical.
(This post was from a few years ago. Shipping costs might have bumped up to $20 from the previous $15 a few years ago..or more)
Just posting this in case anyone decides they want to add this to their collection before they run out. Who knows if they'll do another print run or not. This is just a indie fan-comic, eventually they're just going to stop having them available.
I'm probably not going to buy it myself. It's a little out of my price range. But, if you're interested, it's out there now.

Yeah, I'm seriously torn. For the longest time, that was my favorite version of TMNT, and it still ranks highly. Probably influences my own work in some ways.
Man, why couldn't we have just gotten the damn official version? I don't even mean from Archie, I know that reason, but... something after.

Wow, that Forever War by Chris Allan being printed in Russia took... forever! Hehe
From the other forum link...
-First issue and 80% of the second issue was Dean Clarrain's original ideas and the last three issues were written by the organizer as extrapolated from the covers? Shucks.
-Who is this Chet person? I don't remember a Chet from the Archie comics.

What you don't remember Chet? Good ol' Chet? Why, he's only one of the most important characters in TMNT history! Appearing in multiple versions of the story!
He's the kid who originally bought four baby turtles before he lost them down the sewer. He's the fishbowl kid.

...Hopefully, that's who it is. I haven't actually read the book, so they might be talking about someone else. But, that's probably who they're talking about.
Chet
The name "Chet" is a running gag in various incarnations of the TMNT, apparently stemming from the fact that the Mirage Studios guys liked the name. Sometimes it is used as the name of a character, and in others, it simply shows up as a background detail.

I often wondered what it would be like if the boy carrying the turtles that fateful day ever met up with them again.

In other news, I got the Baxter and Usagi earlier this week, but was out of town and couldn't do my normal pics. Raph just came from Amazon today in preparation for Alopex coming in the next week or so. The brothers should be here tomorrow.
We'll star off with Baxter.
The extra head doesn't really seem different enough for me to bother switching them out.
I seem to be getting quite the collection of mousers. But in any case , it's nice to finally have a Baxter in my collection that's not Jeff Goldblum.
I really love the artwork on these Usagi boxes.
he has lots of accessories, but unfortunately no scabbard or other storage for them.
My Usagi collection also seems to be getting larger than intended.
I forgot to take an in-package picture. Sorry bout that. Like I said, this is in preparation for Alopex coming soon. Plus I just wanted to support the IDW love so we may be able to get more in the future.
If I'm going to keep this as Alopex's love interest, grumpy may be preferable to rage.
I love that he has storage on the back so I can easily switch out between the sais and the tonfas.
BST AXN has really improved my opinion of them since that first Donny.

Ooooh. Well, he wasn't named in the Archie series, haha.What you don't remember Chet? Good ol' Chet? Why, he's only one of the most important characters in TMNT history! Appearing in multiple versions of the story!

Btw, I remember reading or seeing a video about how the boy who originally owned the four turtles becoming a sanitation engineer and stumbling upon one of the turtles while checking sewer pipes. I think he felt closure, realizing the mutant turtle he saw was one of the pets he lost?
kind of like FF's "Sid"?What you don't remember Chet? Good ol' Chet? Why, he's only one of the most important characters in TMNT history! Appearing in multiple versions of the story!

I kind of like the name 'fishbowl kid' instead of giving him an actual name.
These came from Amazon today.

So all the turtles come with an angry and a not angry head. The storage works well enough for the main weapons, Raph can even switch between sais and tonfas. They all look extremely nice. Like, I don't feel like I even need to qualify that with "for the price." These just look really nice.
Here's my IDW collection So far. Alopex coming soon!

For a second, there, I thought those nunchucks were sticks of dynamite.
"Fishbowl Kid" sounds like a cowboy or bandit that doesn't much like dry environments.
It sounds like what a bully might call Mysterio's kid.
