So you're at Comic-Con and you would like to purchase the amazing and awesome Usagi Yojimbo figure? Well, that's extremely unlikely to happen. Because Playmates so wisely only made 350 of these, daily stock available is extremely limited. Reports vary from 25-60 per day. Because getting into the Convention Center each morning is a crazy process, even if you go immediately to the Nickelodeon booth, the line will already be too long for you to have a chance at purchasing it. The only people who are getting in line early enough to be able to buy it, are people with early access to the exhibit floor, who are most likely resellers, not fans. My friend who is a fan and did manage to get in line before the exhibit hall opened this morning was still not able to purchase one. I hope that sales on last year's extremely disappointing exclusive figure didn't influence the decision to only make 350 of these figures, but I would really like to know how they did decide to make it so extremely limited.

Hey, Rosemary! What the hell have you been so busy with that you haven't been able to properly update the website? A good question. Let's make a list. 1) My job. Alas, a requirement. 2) Karate. 3) Sleeping. These three things leave me with not much free time for other hobbies, of which the website would be one. And some other hobbies have snuck into that time. One of those extra hobbies has been painting. I just completed a series of 12 paintings that will be on display and for sale at the San Diego Comic-Con Art Show! I am quite excited about this. Featured above are my two TMNT-themed paintings. I hope that if you are at Comic-Con, you will come check out the Art Show! Speaking of Comic-Con, I am on board my flight and about to depart! I will still be providing regular updates of everything TMNT at the show, including covering as many of the panels as I can. Thanks for following! Turtle Power!!

TMNT Guide to Comic-Con 2016

Tweet

It's that time of year again! Yes, Comic-Con starts TOMORROW!

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind the last few months, which has sadly kept me from providing updates that I should have been posting. (If you would like the "picture is worth a thousand words" short version, you can see picture 1 and picture 2.) And, unfortunately, because of this, I also don't have my regular, detailed "TMNT Guide to Comic-Con" put together to the extent that I would like. I will kind of be flying by the seat of my pants this year, but I will still be there and I will be updating regularly with all the TMNT news and information I can find.

Here are some quick highlights to look forward to:

Panels dedicated to Nickelodeon's TMNT series (Friday) and IDW's TMNT series (Saturday).

You can check out Kevin Eastman's panel and autograph schedule right here.

The Nickelodeon autograph session will be Friday 1-2:30pm. Be sure to visit the booth earlier in the show to find out when ticket distribution will be—you will need a ticket to attend the autograph sessions!

There are quite a few TMNT exclusive items available for sale! NECA has their amazing TMNT video game figures, and you'll also find exclusive items at the Nickelodeon booth, IDW, Kid Robot, HeroClix, The Loyal Subjects, Mattel, and Bluefin.

And Usagi Yojimbo fans will want to be sure to visit Stan Sakai's booth to pick up the new Usagi Yojimbo coloring book!

TMNT Master on Twitter made this cryptic tweet! (Sounds like something for TMNT fans to check out!)

FREE 🍕?! Join us at The New Yorker Pizzeria during #SDCC for a #TMNT unveiling & a free slice of pizza! Follow @spirithalloween for more.

And Andre the Black Nerd made this awesome video previewing the Kubros exclusive sets that will be available from Mattel.


If you watched through the end, you caught that the Mega Bloks booth will be handing out a free TMNT Mega Bloks comic! Be sure you get one!

Did I miss something? Let me know!

And be sure to follow Ninja Pizza on Facebook and/or Twitter, as that is where all of my "as it happens" updates will be happening throughout the weekend! (Honest truth, there might also be some Pokemon GO updates, if I can manage to find some rare catches. I'm looking at you, Dragonite!)

"Out of the Shadows" Wins Weekend Box Office with $35.3 Million

Tweet

According to Box Office Mojo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows finished its opening weekend with an estimated $35.3 million in earnings. This is down approximately $30 million from 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which finished its opening weekend with $65.5 million.

This was enough to win the weekend in the US, beating out last weekend's winner, X-Men: Apocalypse.

The top five movies for the weekend were:
1) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
2) X-Men: Apocalypse
3) Me Before You
4) Alice Through the Looking Glass
5) The Angry Birds Movie

Take a 360° Tour of the Turtles' Lair

Tweet

Last month, as part of the promotional effort for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, the Turtles' Lair was listed on Airbnb for fans to book a stay. The apartment in New York City was fully decked with Turtles gear, as well as having the complete sewer vibe. And of course, all of the available listings were immediately booked.

Now, for all of the fans who weren't able to stay in the Turtles' Lair, Nickelodeon is providing a 360° virtual reality tour of the space. From a compatible browser/viewer, check out the YouTube video below to explore!


The virtual reality tour lets fans experience the Lair in a special way and fill them in with facts like how the media wall is made up of over 40 vintage boomboxes found online and how over 75 pizza boxes labeled with bizarre topping combinations, like jelly bean and sausage or peanut butter and clams, are scattered throughout.
