New Article: Krang’s Android Body!

We've seen lots of Krang here on the site. Several months back, we saw the TMNT episode where Krang finally got that body of his. Now, here's a look at the toy based on it. "Krang's Android Body," made by Playmates in 1991, is a towering inferno of half-naked bald belly-brained terror made of plastic and sin. I love it, every part of it. For those curious: yes, the Krang figure was removable. You want a pocket brain pal, you can have it. Review features a bonus section where Krang Jell-O molds fall apart.

I got to hand it to my parents for coming through with a Krang android body for my 7th birthday. Awesome toy. I got the Super Shredder figure too, which is also cool.

Krang owned and he needs to come back for the new cartoon.

I noticed the "hidden" goo link was to the three year part posted on 4.4.03. That means the 4 year party anniversery is coming up soon. I can’t wait!

I just remembered that I also had that Krang coloring book too. Hooray for Matt for helping me remember things I would never recall otherwise. Also I think Krang has been on the new cartoon, but he doesn’t look as good in my opinion. Less like a brain and more like some sort of pink tree stump. And there’s no bald android body, at least not yet.

Meatwad, you know Matt can’t let things sit for longer than 20 minutes. Remeber the soaking Chia pet?

Okay, so Krang’s not in the new toon, but there are aliens that resemble him, not the same though.

ME : I do believe you are referencing the French-Canadian hit show "Telefrancais". Primarily shown in da classroom, it featured "anana" the pineapple (btw anana is french for pineapple…real original). I remember anxiously awaiting the performances from the hot rock band "Les Skelettes" which were basically a bunch of cheap ass skeleton puppets singing and dancing on a makeshift stage.

Aw, I was way excited to see how the JelloKrang turned out, dagnabbit. I wish I had a pocket brain pal.

Kristal, thank you! You can tell by my attempt to spell "Telefrancais" that the show had no positive effect on my young English speaking mind. A propos, Krang peut laver mon anyday de pieds!

One day, the first week of 4th grade, one of my future best friends let me play with his TMNT coloring book – my first intro to what would soon become my first "crack-like" addiction.
At Christmas that year the only figure that could be found in any store was the original Krang figure – so everyone in my boy scout troop all got the same toy at the Christmas pary that year.

I missed when I put "anyday" into the translator instead of the proper "any day," and then when I posted my silly message. ME slow, ME need to sleep.

Ah, Telefrancais. "Café, te, ou la musique?" Funny in a lame way, but not as cool as the adventures of Buraun-san in the "Japanese For Busy People" videos.

My final project in second-year French was a partially-animated video in Hypercard, an old Mac program which was sort of a precursor to Flash, in a way. The plot involved Ananá becoming an evil necromancer, and raising an army of Les Skelettes to conquer the world, growing to enormous sized and eating the boy and girl, and Pilote finally destroying him by crashing her plane into him.

I had the original version of Krang with that walker thingy, but I had pretty much lost interest in the Turtles by the time they made the full-bodied ones.

I had the Krang that came with pinkish goo. Was that a corey feldman movie pictured behind Krang?? Heh, corey feldman rules.

UTROMS!!!! Yes! Those are the Real Krangs! Good Guys! APRIL’S BLACK! BAXTER’S BLACK! YOU ALL WORSHIP THE ARCHIE COMICS WATERED DOWN VERSION OF TMNT! AHAHAHAH!

by the way, There was a TMNT graphic novel called "Body Count" that came out in like ’96 that comsisted of Casey and Raph going after a drug lord with guns A-Blazing. They also hook up with a large breasted hispanic woman at some point. It was so bizarre when I read it, because Raph blasting off rounds was just a lil off, but the story kicked ass!

I have no comment, really, I’ve just felt that I should add a comment. So, this is my comment. MY comment. My very own comment I’m so happy to have my own now. I shall love him, and pet him, and call his george =D

I don’t get it, I’m fairly close to the same age as most people on this site, yet when tmnt was coming out I was still playing w/ micromachines. everyone at school laughed at me, not cuz it wasn’t the coolest toy, but because all toys and stuff were too "little kid stuff" for us in the 5th and 6th grade. None of my friends or myself ever had tmnt stuff.

The only other TMNT figgers I gots are Metalhead, and the mini Turtles with the Exo-Frame-like power suits. I want a life-size Mouser robot.

I’ve got a funny sotry about TMNT: back in the second grade, I had to take a day off from school. Later that day I went over my buddies house to see what we did in class today. Somehow (and I’m not totally clear on exactly how) the conversation ended up like this:

Buddy: "I’m a Leo."
Me: "I’m deffenitally Raph!"
Buddy: "No, I’m talking about the astological sign we spoke about in class."
Me: "Oh …"

I think that should sum up the TMNT craze in a nutshell.

Just looked for Krang’s Android body on Ebay. It’s going for 35.00 and a free 50th Anniversary turtle figure. Is there really a 50th Anniversy figure for the turtles? Are they really over 50 years old? I think not. This seller must be scheming something.
