They should have stock for martial arts schools so we can buy it and catch the latest trend. Perhaps this would mean a return of the Ninja schools.
i have the first 24/25 issues of the original series. the early ones are reprints but so what. the guys are form north hampton area, guess they thought of them at a party. all dirnking and drawing animals with ninja weapons.
2006 was the year of the pirates (of the carribean)
This year is looking like the year of the ninjas. Did you see this?

That 1 minute TV trailer I always see is the worst trailer ever.
When is the Ninja Cheerleader movie coming out?
ill have to say a tear falls from my eye when i think of how cool Eastman and Laird’s old black and white “chop the foot to peices” turtles would have been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better to base a movie off of.
ill still watch it, and admittedly enjoy it. but i still have always thought the kiddie twist to TMNT was a sad change that has not been able to be undone and likely never will.
the first time i saw ninja turtles in a comic:
It was in the high mountains, the turtles were surrounded by the foot clan, outnumberd 4 to 1. as Shredder watched from a cliff in his regal suit of samurai armor and a cold stare the turtles decimated his numbers in a snow clad frenzy of ninja dismemberment. all of them weilding razor sharp katana
sadly one of the turtles lost his hand to an agile foot member and the turtles had to disengage the battle at the command of splinter.
ah to see this style of turtles resurected…but alas, modern day kid B.S. has ruined what at one time was a classic
but ya, ill still watch and enjoy the kiddied up TMNT
curious, am i the only one who remembers how the ninja turtles really should be?
I used to LOVE the Turtles. After Yojimbo, it seemed like it they ran out of ideas. The voices started changing, and the plots were horrible. I was young at the time so I moved on to shows like Batman and Pinky and the Brain.
Speaking of oldschool cartoons, who remembers Battle of the Planet featuring G-Force?
Turns out the studio behind the latest TMNT is working on a CGI version of GACHAMAN as the cartoon as originally titled in Japan. check out their selection on the “OUR FILMS” menue.
Highlander & Astroboy as well . . .
i just got back from seeing the movie.
the animation for the humans reminded me of the incredibles.
the animation on the turtles and stuff close up looked really good.
the story was good.
the movie i wasnt expecting much, but i thought it was awesome.
i say the movie is awesome. go see it.
and pangquan I remember those turtles best, but i doubt we will ever see that kind of turtle comic again. image tried in the late nineties but it didnt last past issue 30.

ya, i cant wait to see it. looks totally fun.
the only way i could see the old turtles resurected would be on the screen. dark high flying bloody to the max mutant domination.
i think its beyond that point now though. 
PQ: Thanks, I’m crying in my beer now…
I was lucky to get in at the very beginning, had all the comics, every one…they were awesome.
had the rpg…kinda sucked as an rpg.
the live action movies sucked.
alas, I moved to another town in 89 and ended up parting ways with all my comics to make the truck payment.
but, hey, if this is going to be the year of the ninja…I may have to finally come in…

I certainly remember G-FORCE. I have a great G-Force Tshirt and silkscreen poster of the characters. Would be neat if they made a really decent film of it.
As for the TMNT. i dont know why they are ressurecting this cartoon. Not a fan of it at all. I preferred Cartoons like HE-MAN and THundercats, why the hell didnt they make a feature of Thundercats? I mean the HE-MAn movie was cr@p. The thread i started that showed one artists view of the He-man characters was way cool i thought. i will link the forum board here, you have to scroll down a 1/4th of the way and see the artwork. …EDIT,cr@p they took the sketch photos down, sorry about that guys. thought they would stay up. Anyway they were pretty cool, a very dark aspect to the HE-man series that gets rid of the 1980’s gay bodybuilder look in the cartoons(hey when you are a KID you dont think of those things)

they do - or at least they used to. mark glazier was the first to have publically available shares of stock in his schools.

I played the rpg too. the first movie was great. it was the following two that sucked. the kiddie cartoon sucked, except for episodes with usagi yojimbo. the newer cartoon is more dark, but not like the original comic.
I was very impressed by the new release. I wanted to see more of casey jones fighting tho. it looks like there may be another installment too.
maybe it will come back around to it’s roots eventually like Batman.

Here’s the thing… they aren’t really resurrecting this. There’s been a cartoon series and toy franchise running quite successfully for about 4 years, and with the cartoon then went a little different by depicting the turtles in a manner more akin to their Mirage base with proper sashes and the brown elbow and knee pads. Thus continuing the look from the live action flicks. This past year they even took them 100 years into the future or something, which sucks. But the previous four years were great. Something like 3 or 4 video games and all types of other merch… it’s no surprise they have a new movie. Still got the kid appeal, but it’s far more gritty than the original cartoon series ever was or TMNT III.
I don’t think a Thundercats live action feature would work out very well without it being turned into a goof like some other cartoons being turned into movies. Besides, I recently rented Thundercats season one… sucks way more than I remember it. Way more. I’d rather see a Voltron movie. Better yet, Voltron vs Power Rangers… I want to see the Voltron Force own the imitators.
I think Mirage Studios currently has a TMNT series going on by the way.

So… More likely you’ll see a SHAZAM live action film . . . sometime in 2008-2009.
Sigmund the Sea Monster would be pretty fun. But Isis is unlikely… the Wonder Woman movie would probably happen fist and that’s rather slow going.
But as for TMNT… a Black & White cartoon done to match the original comic series would make a great direct to DVD piece IMO. But you can’t fault Eastman and Laird for grabing the money with the kids angle… or at least, I can’t.
