If you were to pick just one favourite from your collection what would be it? Probably the Raph #1 page 7, first appearance of Casey Jones. Though this is also a big runner up. This was Steve lavines personal Mikey that sat in his store the entire time shellback existed. It’s signed by him and Peter laird.

So until rather recently fugioid didn’t have a huge connection to the turtles universe. That clears it up then! I’m just Honeycutt obsessed! Isn’t Fugitoid a kind of reprint of Gobbledygook parts 1&2 with a tweaked ending to tie in with the TMNT?! Bronty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 On 5/6/2023 at 7:14 AM, sorrenmj said: I love it when @Turtle changes their Fugitoid avatar to match the seasons! I do love Fugitoid. As robots go, he's got a very unique design that makes him stand out. His origin strikes me a very golden-age sci-fi comic-y. He was key to one of the TMNT's earliest and most fondly-remembered adventures. As someone said, he didn't play a huge role in most of the Mirage comics outside of that early story, but he tends to pop up regularly throughout the years. He had a figure in the 80's toyline (though with a different design and color scheme), he played a larger role in the 2k3 series (still my favorite TMNT series), he was voiced by David Tenant and had a large role in one season of the Nick series, he's in the IDW series, and he even popped up in the Last Ronin book. sorrenmj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I hope everyone had a great Free Comic Book Day! My youngest had a morning soccer game today, so by the time I made it to my LCS, I think there were 8 titles left to choose from...so I missed the TMNT comic. Don't feel too bad for me though. I perused the rest of the store and picked up a few books. As I approached the counter, I saw a giant TMNT Party Wagon, the likes of which I'd never seen. It wasn't in the box or anything, just sitting on the counter with all the doors open. I owned a Playmates Party Wagon as a kid and this certainly wasn't one of the reissues. I asked the guy at the counter what he could tell me about it. He brought it over and told me he knew it wasn't from Neca or Playmates, but couldn't tell me anything else about it. No identifying marks on it anywhere (though we did find a switch that activates the headlights!). The price was reasonable enough for me to take a chance on so I got it. After a little bit of research, I found at that this is the Party Wagon by Underground Arsenal. While it's a 3rd party company, the vehicle seems to be made for the Neca line of toys as they fit really well. I was shocked to find that I picked it up for about 10-15% of what I would have paid if I bought it new! I'll have to do a bit more research to find out what parts are missing. So far, I can tell there's a side-view mirror missing. I'm guessing there's more, but I don't really mind. It looks REALLY cool and I look forward to setting it up in my room. So FCBD was great here! I hope everyone else had fun! spracknetch23, srezvan and sorrenmj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
