Litten/Torracat/Incineroar was what I was thinking on the Pokemon side.

Ninja Turtles - Cowabunga!
- Thread starter Confuzor
- Start date
Out today. I'm not sure about the story behind this. My understanding is that it was a never released (if it was ever even completed) Mirage story. Not sure where it fits into the original continuity. But it's a really nice, classic feeling story.
Edit: Nope. Completely off. The descriptions Amazon gives things can be so weird sometimes. It's reprinting Vol. 4.

For those who have MeTV Toons (OTA in some markets in addition to coverage from the likes of DirectTV, Phillo, frndlytv, and Fubo), mark September 15th:
MeTV Toons will be carrying the original TMNT cartoon, all 193 episodes airing 3 times a day, weekdays.

I was thinking the other day that a "Technodrome on the Move" episode collection would've sold like hotcakes. It would have had all the episodes where the Technodrome changes location, setting up for the next season: Shredder & Splintered; Return of the Technodrome; The Big Rip-Off, Big Break-In, and Big Blow Out; My Brother, the Bad Guy; Rock Around the Block; Attack of the Neutrinos; Shredder Triumphant; and finally, Turtle Trek (yes I had to look this all up)
To me, most of the actual plot progression of the show happens in these episodes anyway.

Just got back from the TMNT 35th Anniversary showing at my AMC. I wasn't a Turtles kid (aside from Transformers, it was a side of Thundercats), and I'd never actually seen the 1990 movie in its entirety - just chunks of it back when I had SciFi Channel available in college. My only other experiences with the Turtles have been random cartoon episodes here and there back in the day, and the comic crossovers with Usagi Yojimbo.
And as someone who's relatively franchise blind, that was damn good PG Action Movie fun. It shows its age, but the Henson animatronic costumes and puppets were wonderful, all the gloriously goofy Hollywood Ninja tropes, just enough backstory to tape it together...that's a lot to pack into just under 90 minutes! I kinda love how low the stakes are, honestly - the mighty Shredder is running a grab-and-smash gang of disillusioned teenagers, why? Simply because money, presumably! Casey is just some random masked vigilante, no tragic origin required! Why is there radioactive ooze in the sewers of NYC? It's just there to drop turtles in and get the backstory done! Refreshing, really.
The anniversary showing also comes with five or ten minutes of behind-the-scenes stuff, mostly shilling for a crowdfunded documentary, but it was still neat.

I wish we were getting the BTS stuff here.
For real, that's why I was always partial to those.
I'll have to check that out. I'm at work at the moment.
I actually really liked the 2007 movie. I mean, I have a bit of a problem in that no matter what character he plays, I never hear the character, I only ever hear Patrick Stewart.
But I absolutely loved the dynamic between Raph and Leo, especially the fight.

(Leo should have won, dang it)
McDonalds has a happy meal Hello Kitty X TMNT promo and I got Melody wearing a Donnie suit or whatever. Looking at her, she looks unbalanced but she's actually fairly stable, whew
Are you saying Hale is about to break loose?

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon is notorious for its poor DVD release. A year or two ago, someone sent me 4 of the home laserdiscs releases. Here's the first of four that I am uploading to the Internet Archive...

Now I just need to find a way to download that intro...
So, true story: I was just making a mental note of how long it's been since I've bought toys from different franchises, or at least, what was my last toy.
Thundercats: Thundercats/MotU crossover Cheetara
MotU: Origins Catra
Video Game related: Sonic the Hedgehog
TMNT: I was wracking my brain and I absolutely could not remember. I had to come back to this thread and surf backwards to see what my last TMNT toy was. Turns out it was a Mirage April O'Neil.
I honestly blame Target for this. It looks like they've removed all of their NECA and other premium lines. That leaves me with just the more recent Tales Of TMNT toys, which I have no interest in. I have the turtles, Rocksteady and Bebop. I really couldn't care less about any of the others. Most of the TMNT toys I buy were NECA, Super 7 and Loyal Subjects...and Target seems to have stopped carrying any of them.
The hell, Target?
