Over the weekend, my cousin brought up some older movies he was getting into lately. One such movie happened to be the original live action adaptation to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Considering, we’ve gotten so many comments on the elusive Bioworld Merchandise fitteds. And with a previous post involving fan made Ninja Munnys, we should’ve paid homage to creation of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird a bit sooner.
I don’t think I have to delve too much into background of the 4 mutant reptilian ninja brothers. But upon digging up the above pic, I recently discovered in the original comic, Splinter was actually just a rat that could mimic his master, Hamoto Yoshi’s moves and mentored the Turtles. In the 80’s cartoon series, Splinter was a mutated Hamoto Yoshi. Thanks to the quick wikipedia’ing I did, I now have the urge to rent the latest Wii adaptation of TMNT. Happy Thursday all.
