Official TMNT thread, return of the classic giant figures

Then the last wave, featuring Casey Jones, Slash, Foot Soldier and Shredder w/ Krang will arrive in stores by October 2009.
Of course, the biggest question in TMNT Playmates Toys Fans is, will there be more figures??? The answer is... no, unfortunately, but Playmates will also be releasing the original Turtles Party Van in the Fall, so there's still plenty to look forward to this year.

Pics?/ link?
 
just want to keep this thread alive.
i am sure this has been asked, but i hate to ask.

but the movie that is going to be coming out in 2011 (correct me if im wrong). i know its going to be more dark and based on the comic which is great with me,but i was wondering, and hoping, its going to be live action like in the original TMNT movies, not a cartoon right?


and anybody have any info on the comics, i might try to pick up a collection maybe on eBay on something.

"Having said that, I would also be into an all-new story, if it was decided that that was a more desirable direction. Either way is fine with me, to be honest!"

Laird went so far as to share some specific story points that TMNT fans hold near and dear to their hearts as potential elements in the upcoming film.

"Simply telling the story of what happened in the first issue of the 'TMNT' comic book would be a pretty short movie, so I suspect other things from the Turtles' history in the comics might be brought into it," continued Laird. "I would not be unhappy to somehow see the tale of Baxter Stockman and the robotic 'mousers' folded into this movie, as well as some elements possibly setting up the TCRI connection for a possible sixth (or seventh) movie. But I think I'm getting a little ahead of myself there."

As for other characters we're likely to see in the film, the "Ninja Turtles" co-creator said the villainous Shredder would be a necessity for any TMNT origin story, and also mentioned that both intrepid reporter April O'Neil and vigilante Casey Jones came up during recent creative discussions.

Finally, Laird also offered a few more details regarding the way in which the live-action filming and computer-generated effects will blend to bring the Turtles to the screen in the upcoming film.

"The basic idea, as I understand it, is to do an all live action shoot, with actors and stuntmen in full Turtle suits," said Laird. "To add expressiveness to the Turtles' faces which would be difficult if not impossible to get with animatronics and/or puppetry, there would be 'face replacement,' with CGI Turtle faces superimposed on the live action performers' heads."

"This technology has been proven to be incredibly effective if done correctly," added Laird. "Look at the character of Davey Jones in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, with his mass of writhing tentacles… an incredible effect."

TMNT: SMASH UP - Again, a franchise that's lured me in. It's just like playing Smash Bros, just a little slower maybe. Shredder, Splinter, and April were playable. When you're playing as all turtles, it can be confusing. We're so used to distinguishing them by the colors of their headbands. Leonardo's blue, Raphael's red, etc. But say you're player 1, the indicator pointing to your character is always going to be BLUE, even if you pick Michaelangelo for example. When the turtles are far apart from each other, it's easy to think, you're looking for ORANGE, because you're Michaelangelo. But no, orange is player 4. A little confusing and probably even more confusing for me to explain it.
