Nightwatcher 7 is out today. I don't know if it's the end of the series or just the end of this arc. From the way it ends, I'm thinking it's the end of the series and Jennika can now return to the TMNT fold, because I certainly don't see her continuing to use the Nightwatcher persona.

Yup, #7 is probably the last issue of the Nightwatcher series. Unless they decide to bring it back in a few months. But, if they do, they'll probably just put out a "Nightwatcher 2" miniseries so they can get a new #1, like they did with the Jennika minis.

It was a solid book. I enjoyed it. But, I'm not too surprised that it's relatively short-lived. It was fun while it lasted, but having 3 to 7 Turtles comics (depending on what you want to count) all going at the same time was...ambitious.

Yeah, I was only collection this and the main TMNT series. I just can't afford to get every single series that comes out. But to be fair, I don't think IDW has too much else going on that's profitable aside from Sonic.

TMNT 8 is out todsy. It's fairly Leocentric, but with some big moments for Donny. I think Karai has something cooking. I just hope something pops soon, because honestly, this is such a slow build that individual issues start feeling like we're going nowhere.

Got this from Amazon today.

Look, I'm not a rebel or anything, and I don't want to seem petulant. But I didn't spend $50 on this set not to open it. I don't care what the box says.

Left was bought on E-Bay. Center is the one that just came today in the set. Right with the missing greaves I bought at a local vintage toy store. I'm not sure if it comes through in the picture well, but vintage ones have more of a silver colored clothing pieces while the new one I got today is more grey.

The on the far left is the one that came with the set. Note the dark color on the armor pieces, green loin cloth and the painted toe claws. In the middle is a reissue I bought at Target a few weeks ago. Note the silver armor pieces, black loin cloth and non-colored toe claws.

This is the main reason I bought the set. Target wasn't getting any of the movie characters in besides Rahzar and the occasional turtle. The only way I could get Tokka from Amazon was to get the entire set. Much better than the pea-soup green of the NECA version.

In fairness, the NECA version was made to emulate the cartoon, which emulated the toy specifically, which was made to resemble the movie version about as well as that toy line was able to resemble anything, which was generally "not at all."

Sort of like how Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Season 3 looked way different from each other, but still shared the same toys for everything, I guess.
