Popular Post Turtle Posted August 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2023 Picked up this print from Michael Dialynas at a show last weekend. He says it was used for some of the movie posters for Mutant Mayhem over in Greece. sorrenmj, ADAMANTIUM, eastbayrudy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmpyreDave Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Digging through I found a few TMNT things that might be of interest to some. A copy of a 1991 merchandise catalog and 2 large Turtle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Maybe I'm alone in this, but does anyone play Shredder's Revenge? New DLC just came out including Usagi Yojimbo and Karai as playable characters and a decent number of palette swaps for all the characters. The new characters are unlocked right off the bat, but the palettes need to be unlocked, mostly through playing the new Survival mode. It's pretty fun because they don't explicitly say what each palette is...it's almost like it's testing the knowledge of fans to see if they recognize it. I also haven't found any guide that shows what each one is just yet. By default, the game is styled off the '87 cartoon, so some of the more obvious swaps are the ones from the later cartoon series: '03, '12, Rise. It seems everyone also has a Gameboy-shaded skin to represent those games. It also appears that everyone has an unlockable Black and White palette, an obvious tribute to the original comics. The turtles all seem to have a Playmates toy line palette that gives them unique skin tones and all-brown weapons. I've so far only unlocked all of them for Donatello. His last one is a bit of a deep cut...his outfit from Stump Asteroid. I'm guessing all the turtles have these. I'm working my way through Karai, who has many moves based on her appearance in TMNT Tournament Fighters. She seems to be the stand-in for Shredder...getting color palettes based on his appearances. One of them seems to be modeled after the 90's movie. In any case, I'm having a good time with it. The DLC was $8. I'd say it's worth it if you liked the game. Anyone else play it?

ADAMANTIUM Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) It's been slow for me, glad to see prospects and people still buying . Lcs said as well it is slow but may be typical for the time of year. I know I'm broke, but LCS's has a sale for like 34% when you buy a comic box for $15, anything that fits in the box and lid shuts all of that is 34% off. Anyway, they have a tmnt #2 1st print! Priced at $175. I got a look at it, it's vf minus, but prices are all over the place it seems. Again I'm broke , a tale of woe Thanks for listening Edited September 13, 2023 by ADAMANTIUM GM8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this image for the color palettes. Some of them are standard and they start to deviate after a point: A: 1987 Cartoon B: 1990 Live Action Movie C: 2003 Cartoon D: 2012 Cartoon E: Rise Cartoon F: Gameboy G: Mirage Comics H: NES Games I: J: 80's Playmates Toys K: Archie - Stump Asteroid Usagi and Karai don't correlate super well, but they still have some references. Karai's stance and moves are heavily inspired by her appearance in TMNT Tournament fighters. While I'm not exactly sure what the I column references, I'll say that I do like that they gave Splinter an ethereal appearance like his campfire scene from the 90's movie. Nice touch!

Nice touch! Could the I column be referencing the Turtles from Last Ronin - the ghost Turtles? It's maybe a long-shot since Splinter seems more ghost-like than the Turtles. All I could think of.

I think if they wanted to do that, they could have done a solid Mikey with a black bandana or something. Not that I have anything better. I'm stumped.
