I love these figures, and you will too. Playmates has finally unleashed the Toddler Turtles four-pack, featuring each of the Ninja Turtles as little kiddies with less painful weapons and more innocent smiles. They’re really some of the best toys I’ve seen out there in the past few years, and if you were ever a TMNT fan, don’t even bother trying to pass ‘em up. I would’ve paid double or triple the eight bucks they ran without feeling the least bit ripped off. Okay, maybe not triple. The next article should be killer…expect it tomorrow afternoon or early Wednesday. Or never.
While we’re on the subject of TURTLES, you’ve gotta check out this shit I found. Okay, at Toys ‘R’ Us or a reasonable facsimile — you know that section of the store with all of the party favors and whatnot? The one spot you never really bother with? Well, break the code. There’s something great tucked in there, and it’s cheap cheap cheap. A set of four small TMNT mutagen tubs, featuring this entirely too kickass slime that’s more like Play-Doh than anything you’d get out of a vending machine. You can totally mold shit outta this stuff, and it’s a lot sweeter smelling than most toy slimes to boot. I know a lot of the new figures come with a much more impressive barrel of mutagen, but this is a slime of a different kind. Definitely worth hunting down.
The party favors aren’t new entries, and I doubt more are being produced. If any of your local stores have it, rest assured that it’s the last of their stock. In other words, get away from your computer. Get out of the house. Get in your car or on your magic flying bike. Buy the Toddler Turtles and the almost-bootleg mutagen party favors. You know it’s what you want. Don’t deny yourself victory.

Since nobody responded to the question about the comics earlier, I guess I will, even though it may well be no one will read this.
That was the Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic. I’m not entirely sure what the deal is with the continuity; The first issues already seem to have Shredder, Cartoon pre-fly Stockman, April and others, but it rapidly went off in its own direction.
The floating cow head was Cudley the Cowlick, who worked for the Intergalactic Wrestling Federation, as run by Stump and, um, someone else. Stump was a Stump with arms and legs, and Someone Else was this sort of tree-man who had money instead of leaves.
Anyway, somehow they had heard about the turtles, and used Cudley to bring them over to wrestle in the promotion. A few others were there, I believe Leatherhead (Previously thought dead after an incident involving the cosmic cube’s spherical doppleganger) was present.
The federation didn’t think the turtle’s old costumes had any spark to them, so they gave them new ones, including an all-black bodysuit for Raphael, which he wore for a bit even after he stopped wrestling.
Confusing as that is, things didn’t really get weird until androids from the future to kill the mighty mutanimals and sharks teamed up with primeval forces of destruction to bring terror to the world.
There was also this chick who could turn into an eagle.
