Toddler Turtles & TMNT Mutagen!

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.

Chestnuts roasted by Pablo @ 06/28/2004 4:01 PM

Pre. Teen. Turtles.

Ugh.

Chestnuts roasted by Gretchen @ 06/28/2004 4:06 PM

Oh come on, they’re great!

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/28/2004 4:07 PM

How cute are those? I want to hug them and squeeze them and call them George.

Chestnuts roasted by Kay @ 06/28/2004 4:09 PM

they look kind of cheap, makes me wish my mom didn’t throw out my old TMNT action figures

There ae a lot of flashbacks in the new show, so the figures aren’t continuity-less. Ma collects turtles, and she really likes TMNT, so I might find these for her. Iwant figures based on the Anime Super Turtles.

If you’re saying we see Toddler Turtles on the show, I’m saying I need to track down a compilation tape. Wasn’t there supposed to be a DVD set of the first few seasons? I can’t find it.

…. I forgot what I was gonna say… :(

Oh yeah! That wrestler he-man knock off thing looks like Jesus!

Chestnuts roasted by Paul @ 06/28/2004 4:33 PM

Now I’ve seen everything!

And Krang watches in the background…

They could take krang 1 on 1. Hes just a brain :)

so cute! by the way, the guy they’re attacking at the end is a generic Big John Studd wrestling figure. i know cause i had the same figure as a kid.

Chestnuts roasted by Chris @ 06/28/2004 4:37 PM

I could definately see Toddler Turtles getting their own show ala Muppet Babies and that horrible Flintstones kids crapfest. Damn that pup named Scooby-doo too. Probably should have done it 15 years ago when cartoon "baby" versions were all the rage. Don’t get me wrong though I love the Todd Turts.

Chestnuts roasted by Blah...blah @ 06/28/2004 4:37 PM

I liked Pup Named Scooby Doo, I used to watch it right before school started when they were airing reruns on cartoon network (right after that baby max cartoon, wow those were shitty days) I think that was 5th grade… Ok you’re right it was yesterday

Chestnuts roasted by Paul @ 06/28/2004 4:47 PM

No wonder Raph’s mad, look what hes given as a weapon, I think I now understand were all the hatred and resentment came from, still pretty cool though, good to see the revived, wonder how long till a remake of the movie :)

Being that I was a big fan of the original comic series, and only about 1/4 as much of a fan of the less violent, more kiddy oriented cartoons, I’ll probably pass on these. There were definitely no toddler days for the turtles in the Eastman and Laird comics. I’m sure if I was primarily a fan of the cartoon I’d be much more enthusiastic about the young ‘ens.

Chestnuts roasted by a piece of milk @ 06/28/2004 5:06 PM

Hah, yes, I guess this must be a pisser to the old comic fans. Reading that biocard must pain you. :)

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/28/2004 5:07 PM

I love them! They are so cute! Now I must run out and buy lots of them to give to all the little kids in my family! Thanks Matt!

As a box-opener at KB toys, I have to tell you that these elusive figures are, in fact, elusive. I’ve only seen 1 package of them in every 24 pack box. Its one of the more rarer figures, like the Ultra Mouser or one of the deformed rock-eating humans.

Chestnuts roasted by Invader Norbert @ 06/28/2004 5:12 PM

Interesting. They’re not being sold that high on eBay for some reason, so if you can’t find ‘em in stores, check there.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/28/2004 5:16 PM

Drat, I was at Toys’R'Us at lunch and saw the TMNT stuff and thought how odd they still had that old junk…

I should have gotten some, was shopping for my nephew’s 12th b-day.

I remember watching TMNT after school as a French-Canadian teenager, at the time I could barely scrape together 3 words in English. I loved watching cartoons because the language was simpler than sitcoms. My favourites were TMNT, GI Joe and the #1 of all times: JEM. Yes, it’s girly stuff, but, well, I am a girl. So.

No news of a not-so-old Splinter or pre-teen April?

Chestnuts roasted by Yzziefrog @ 06/28/2004 5:33 PM

Yzzie, FYI: they just released a bigass Jem DVD box set. Looks absolutely awesome.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/28/2004 5:34 PM

They kinda look like the old TMNT’s, don’t they? Well, with the goofy grin bit.

Chestnuts roasted by Freezair @ 06/28/2004 5:36 PM

wow.. to be frank I was born in 1988, therefore a bit too young to remember the turtles, but I do have some old action figures that are kind of neat.. anyway.. These look kind of interesting..maybe I’ll just get em for the hell of it.I saw that slime at a party store too, that and foam ninja stars. crazy world we live in.

God, why do I always seem to catch the eps where none of the really good stuff happens? Without trying to spoil it, have they gotten to the "pink thing" yet?
