Wednesday Rants: The Bathtub scene from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie

Remember in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie from 1990?  I just watched that movie again over the weekend and I really love the movie.  However, I notice something about the movie that bugs me...

Megan Fox is going to be April O'Neil

GROOOOOOSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

picture: 2 criminals responsible for ruining a great franchise

As we know for ages already, Michael Bay is producing the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, which is simply called Ninja Turtles, and he's adding Megan Fox to the movie as April O'Neil!!!!!

How much more can you ruin an awesome franchise, Michael Bay?  It's already bad enough that he's turning the turtles' origin to alien creatures instead of mutation, now he's having Megan Fox as April O'Neil?  I thought Bay and Fox had a fallout before.  What's going on?  What does Fox have to do for Michael Bay to forgive her?  Yeah, I went there.  We're all thinking it.

To make things worst, I heard that Anna Kendrick was in consideration for the role of April before Fox snatched it.  That would be so much better, I can totally see Kendrick as April.  Now the movie is officially down the shitter, at least we have the awesome TV series to save the franchise.  At least.       

My TMNT Haul!

I bought these yesterday!

Dogpound, Fishface and the Mutagen from the newest TMNT cartoon series.  Dogpound and Fishface are essentially the Rocksteady and Bebop for the new series.  And those of you who haven't seen the newest cartoon yet, go see it.  It really is the BEST cartoon on TV right now.

This is Dogpound.  Perhaps my favorite character in the show because he's just too cute!  The figure captures the cuteness of the character, and at the same time, it shows the character's toughness of begin a giant dog.  It has enough articulation for Dogpound to make awesome poses.  

It wasn't until I got the figure I notice that this guy's left arm is wayyyy bigger than his right.  Sadly, the figure I got has some bad paint job and it's chipping away already.  Sad day.  But overall, it's still a very good figure, and it's definitely a steal for $10.

Next up is Fishface!   

Fishface figure is not as articulated as the Dogpound figure.  It's because it is a very skinny figure, and it doesn't have many places for articulation.  However, the figure has a better paint job than the Dogpound figure, and the scale on it is just fun to stroke it.  My biggest problem is the metal knees it has and I just hope it can bend.  And take a look at this:

The device here is how Fishface is able to survive on land.  In the show it is full of water, but here it only shows plastic.  It would be cool if that can give it a more "hydra" feel to it, but heck, I get what I get.  It is still an awesome figure.

Next-

  

The Mutagen!  When I was a kid, there was a 80s cartoon version of this and I always want it.  I never got a chance and when I saw this yesterday, I know I have to get it.  Make-up for my lost youth.  The Mutagen is just the average goo thingy that usually seen with toy.  The surprise is inside cause it comes with a mini turtle

The 80s version comes with a mini turtle, and this is the main reason I want it back in the days as well.  I don't know why, but there's just something about a mini turtle inside Mutagen that I find intriguing.  

Isn't that just adorable?  I didn't know baby turtles comes with their eye-band and weapons ready.

And some extra pics:

oh no!  Mutagen is out!  back off!

Battle Royale!
