Greetings Turtletarians! On this live streamed recording of Turtle Soup Podcast episode 272, we review the Image Comics TMNT - Raphael and Casey Jones: Body Count #3! We also take a look at the recently revealed NECA 12 days of downloads TMNT checklist. After some massive technical difficulties, we finally manage to get the show back up and running and our first stop on the journey this episode is to take a look at NECA's 12 days of downloads TMNT checklist! This is something NECA does every year and its a neat way to sort of celebrate the past and commemorate the last year's additions to our collections. But most importantly, its a way for NECA to tease some more upcoming action figures to add to our shelf this coming year! This year they start off with showing us General Traag and Granitor in their arcade appearance / pixelated paint job. These figures are mostly the same release from NECA's 1987 TMNT animated series line. If I'm not mistaken, not only is the paint job different but I believe they also feature different head sculpts. Then next to them on the checklist, we see some more different colored foot soldiers! We here at Turtle Soup love the multi colored stylings of the video game foot clan. These figures appear to be repaints of previously released foot soldiers, however, these also include some more accessories to match them with! The final reveal gleamed from NECA's checklist is in their comic line. All the way at the end we get our first full glimpse of Fugitoid! This figure looks fantastic! Fugitoid is always a welcome addition to any area of TMNT and here is no exception. Not only does this reveal tell us that we're getting another great addition to our TMNT toy shelf, but that, more specifically, we'll be getting more Mirage comics figures from NECA!!! Finally, we make it to the true step in our journey through the entire history of the TMNT by reviewing the 1996 TMNT Raphael and Casey Jones: Body Count issue 3! This issue finds our heroes Casey Jones and Raphael escorting their new found friend Midnight to a place called "Sanctuary." They meet a fellow named Courtney who will be their escort to "Sanctuary" by way of another guy named Martin. Detective Choy, his bodyguard, and Bode are hot on their trails as Johnny Woo Woo and his crew are leaving a trail of blood and gun shells behind them in pursuit of MIDNIGHT!!! We get some sort of context for what's happening in the story by way of some of Choy's theory about a fraction within some crime syndicate in Hong Kong. His theory continues to reintroduce us to the man who initiated the hit with Johnny Woo Woo on Midnight: Lord Dong! Casey Jones, Raphael, Midnight and Courtney finally make it to "Martin's" only to find its a fortified church and Martin is looney tunes. Upon their arrival they are quick to prepare for battle as Johnny Woo Woo makes his way in to the church, while Detective Choy, Bode and company are watching from across the street as the pandemonium is exacerbated by the arrival of Lord Dong's men who join the fray. These men however look an awful lot like the men who were involved with the setup that set up this entire story! How are you liking Body Count so far? Do you like this style of art work? Is Lord Dong your new favorite TMNT villain? Lettuce know!

Greetings Turtletarians! Welcome to the live recording of episode 271 of Turtle Soup Podcast! On this episodes step in the journey through TMNT history, we're gonna be reviewing the Image Comics Raphael and Casey Jones Body Count issue #2! But first we also have a toy news segment where we discuss the reveal of the NECA toy's Raphael as Frankenstein's monster figure box. This box art is beautiful! It's mostly an artistic approach to the promo shots of Raphael as Frankenstein's monster that NECA released a while back. It's gonna make for a great display piece. But the main reason the deep diving daddies of turtle soup are peeping this box is because of the spine! The box's spine reveals some of the other characters to be released in the line. We see some headshots of Raphael, the previously revealed Leonardo as Ygor (but with some digital bushy eyebrows and chin hair), and our first look at a head shot of Michaelangelo as The Mummy, and a silhouetted shot of what we assume will be April as the Bride of Frankenstein! Now, its not much to go on but it's a neat little glimpse of the TMNT x Universal Monster figure goodness to come from NECA this next year! Now, on to the comic review! Issue 2 of Body Count finds our heroes Casey Jones and Raphael wrapped up in a mess with their new found friend Midnight. Upon fleeing from their initial meeting in issue 1, the group tries to figure out what's going on and what they're next step will be. Midnight explains that she's been set up and framed for a botched hit job where she was the get away driver for the very hitman that is now after her, Johnny Woo Woo. She says that she's gotta get to "sanctuary" and the only person who can really help her is her friend Courtney. Casey Jones being a sucker for any lady in need is quick to offer further assistance, where as Raphael is ready to go home but reluctantly decides to stick with his pal and help Midnight out. Johnny Woo Woo finally catches up with the crew at a gas station and for allegedly being a renown hitman, he sure does miss a lot. Anyway, he blows up the gas station and in all the chaos, some how lands his car on top of a truck that's headed down the highway. Midnight, Casey Jones and Raphael keep making their way to Club Dead where they meet up with Courtney and explain their situation. Meanwhile, Johnny Woo Woo has gathered with his goons and are about to let the bodies hit the floor at club dead. How are you digging Body Count so far? Do you like how Casey Jones mostly teams up with Raphael or would you prefer him get some time with each of the TMNT? Have you ever witnessed a gas station explosion? Lettuce know!

Greetings Turtletarians! (Apologies for the late upload of the episode. Website issues abounded!) On this episode we begin our journey through the beginnings of the Image Comics run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Comics, also referred to as vol. 3. This momentous step in the journey is brought to us by way of Mirage/Image comics Casey Jones/Raphael / Bodycount #1 from 1994/1996! We also have some TMNT toy news to discuss as well! Speaking of said toy news, we get started with Neca teasing their next entry in their TMNT x Universal Monsters line of action figures with one picture of Leonardo as Ygor "The Hunchback!" From this one photo posted by Neca, the fanbase apparently erupted in outrage at relegating the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to a "lowly" character as Ygor. However, Neca manage to still put out quality sculpt and detailed paint on their figures without fail that helps to quell the unrest among disgruntled fans. Hopefully, they'll reveal more photos of this divisive figure and its accessories. Given the limited text that was associated with the post, fingers crossed that we get a Krang "figure" in a jar to accompany this figure. Secondly, we have news from The Loyal Subjects BTS AXN Line of action figures! We saw their takes on the 1987 animated series TMNT figures from a few months ago. Now we have in box pics of these figures that are also up for preorder. They also put up for preorder what appears to be a second wave of figures from this line. The figures included in are The Shredder, A Foot Soldier, Bebop and Casey Jones! The pictures posted with the preorder listings appear to be digital renderings of the figures. This is great news for people looking forward to this line of TMNT action figures in a 5 inch scale! Finally we get to the meat of the episode, Casey Jones/Raphael / Bodycount #1! This issue is basically one half a giant bar brawl and the other a convoluted flash back to an organized crime job that was a set up. We get introduced to a midlevel crime boss named Johnny Woo Woo as well as his getaway driver Midnight! Something goes wrong with a hit that ends up with Johnny Woo Woo coming after Midnight. Midnight finds herself being thrust into a massive bar fight that has a familiar face among the participants... Casey Jones! Once Johnny Woo Woo shows up to the bar, all hell breaks loose as Woo Woo and his goons brought guns to a bar fight. Thankfully, Casey Jones and Midnight are able to make it out of the bar safely for a few moments before being cornered by Johnny Woo Woo and his crew. Suddenly, from the sky falls a fire escape ladder, incapacitating Johnny Woo Woo's thugs resulting in everyone looking up to see the cause of the falling scructure only to find Raphael, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle! Where were you back when this was released and did you pick it up? Are you a fan of the dark and gritty "Steve Dillon/Glenn Fabry" style art? Do you like these Casey Jones / Raphael team up stories? If you had a friend named "Midnight" would you constantly say their name? Do you prefer your TMNT dark and gritty or colorful and jovial? Lettuce know!

Greetings Turtletarians! Welcome to our live stream recording of episode 269 of Turtle Soup Podcast! On this episode we discuss: Neca TMNT x Universal Monsters action figure line reveal! The winner of our 1987 TMNT animated series party wagon dvd set giveaway! Playmates 1996 Coil Force Turtles action figures! Playmates 1996 Muta-Force Turtles action figures! Playmates 1996 Mini Mutant Turtle Within a Turtle playlets! This Neca reveal is huge as it finally confirms some rumors that have been circulating these last few months about a possible Universal Monsters x TMNT line. Raphael as Frankenstein's monster is the first offering from this line and will be released some time early 2022 with a full line of action figures to follow. We take a look back at the TMNT's previous crossovers with the Universal Monsters in the original Playmates line. We also announce the winner of our 1987 TMNT animated series party wagon dvd set raffle! Congratulations John Klein III! Thanks to everyone who entered the raffle, we sincerely appreciate it! This next step in our journey brings the plastic portion of 1996 to a close as we review the "new" releases from Playmates that year. Starting with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Coil Force! These figures are literally just a color swap on a TMNT mold with a spring action feature. The action feature isn't terrible but overall this is a lazy attempt at what could've been a much cooler line of toys. Moving on to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Muta-Force! These TMNT mecha are rad. As fans of mechs in general, seeing our favorite four ninja brothers not online pilot their own but have them look like them, in theory sounds great. However, execution is a little strange. Also, these fall victim to the product in hand not being well painted as what's on the back of the box. Nevertheless, these are still pretty neat. Lastly, we talk about Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mini Mutant Turtle within a Turtle playsets. We've discussed similar sets in this line on previous episodes however (iirc) these are the first... upright versions of this type of playset and they sort of tap into a little bit of "body horror". The problem is that with the previous sets Playmates released, they used more of a literal turtle mold that opens up at the shell. The benefit of this style is that you can forget the actual turtle that you just opened up and enjoy the playset as intended. However, with these "Turtle within a Turtle" figures, they are basically normal style action figures that sort of... explode and you play with their insides and shattered corpse. It's one of those things that looks good on paper but in execution, falls into something entirely unintended. Not to mention the problematic placement of projectiles. Nevertheless, these playsets in general are always pretty neat and these follow suit for the most part, as long as you can get past the idea of playing inside an actual TMNT figure. What did ya'll think of the Neca TMNT x Universal Monsters reveal? What Universal Monsters do you hope get paired with what TMNT? Any homages you'd like to see Neca reference from the Playmates versions? Did you have any of these figures back in the day? Lettuce know!
