When I first heard they were gonna make a new Tmnt series, I really didn't feel like I'd enjoy it.  I told myself that if they were gonna produce a compilation of one shot episodes, I wasn't gonna watch.  But when I started watching, I got hooked.  The original series will always have a place in my heart because it was one of my childhood favorites.  But this one!  This series is fantastic.  I love how the plot  continues from episode to episode.  And the Shredder?  I love his new look and how much darker he is in this version of Tmnt.

  So if you buy this dvd, you get the first three episodes from the series.  We see how the turtles and April first meet.  We also get a brief glimpse of Saki aka the Shredder, and we are introduced to the Foot Ninja and the Purple Dragon gang.  Once you watch this one, you'll find yourself wanting to see more.  If you have the funds, buy all twenty-something Dvds at once.  If you can't aford to get them new, buy them used off Amazon.  All of mine worked just fine when I bought them in one go round, and they were all used.  And be on the lookout for future releases from this awesome series.!

This set is an absolute love letter to everyone who's ever loved TMNT!  Their starter set, although weak in power, is made perfectly to introduce people into the game.  These figures encompass basically every age of TMNT.  The turtles themselves come in common at the T-rated comic books, current Nickelodeon cartoon/comic versions as rares, and true original versions as chase rares, with '87 cartoon versions comic with the next set in October.  Although the iconic Bebop & Rocksteady are not present (coming in set 2), this does include the '87 Foot Clan with Shredder, Krang, and a variety of robotic foot soldiers.  Multiple versions of Baxter Stockman exist, along with lots of Mousers and plenty of other robots for him to fix.  Most of the turtles have characters that are improved with their turtle partners, such as Casey Jones working with Raphael (Leonardo sadly has to work alone for now).  Interestingly, since there's a foot soldier using each of the turtles' weapons, the abilities of those weapons are identical whether it's a foot soldier or turtle.  Finally, reversing course from the Heroclix trend of making titanic characters, many of the characters here are on the low end of point costs, allowing you to actually make larger teams.
Having opened a full box, I got every version of Raphael (including the chase rare, worth approx. $60 at time of writing!), but there was a primary emphasis on villains.  I was fortunate to get one of all 5 Foot Soldiers, Shredder, and Alpha One, which actually total to a 290 point team!  Shredder definitely screams old-school flavor to him.  He starts more on the sidelines, empowering his allies to do better and disabling enemies with his Retro Mutagen Ray (which both Outwits and removes all special symbols like Flight and Indomitable).  He gets frustratingly motivated when his allies miss, and starts to take matters into his own claws once he's hit enough (though he still gets Mastermind).  Baxter Stockman is probably the most valuable uncommon in the set, since he just gets to give a free heal to an adjacent robot every turn.  About half the set is robots, be they Mousers, Foot Soldiers, Krang, etc, so he has plenty of heals to go around.  Leatherhead makes a nice way to go against the trend of big swarms of smaller-point characters, using his Death Roll to bowl over bunched-up groups.  Metalhead practically never gets exhausted as long as Donatello acts like a backpack, dispensing action tokens.  The chase rare turtles can actually run through a series of enemies in close proximity and attack every one of them!
This set is full of great characters, lots of synergy, and lots of love for any TMNT fan.  If you haven't tried Heroclix but love TMNT, get the starter set.  If you like how it works, get this booster box to have a good variety of characters.  If you already play Heroclix, you'll find a lot to love here, though supporting abilities are a bit limited.  This set is definitely designed to play very well with itself, but doesn't usually benefit others too well.  Baxter loves robots, Rat King gives Probability Control to an animal upon KO, but that's about it.  Still, you can make some crushing builds within this mostly linear set.

BOOYKASHA! Yeah I don't know what it means but its fun to say. I was a fan of the TMNT series from the 80s. I didn't like the series from 2002, but the TMNT series that came out in 2012 blew me AWAY! It is so great with a fantastic voice cast. I had to buy this necklace. It too blew me away. Most of the time all I see in stores is stuff from TMNT 80s series. So naturally I came to Amazon. This necklace was a great find and a good price. Thanks again AMAZON.

When I was 12 I had a friend who had the TMNT graphic novels. I went to his house and read them all. This one's my favorite. It was a time when the first two movies came out;and the TV cartoon got lamer and lamer.(i.e. jumped the shark.)Book #2 picked up where book #1 left off;how Master Splinter became missing and the Turtles are still searching for him. On a exercise run the Turtles got ambushed by "The Foot" and stumble upon T.C.R.I.;the ooze from which it came. So they decide to investigate. In the 2nd TMNT film it was called T.G.R.I. Techno Global Research
Institute. In book 2 It's Techno COSMIC Research Institute. That's all I'm going to say so far about the story. But if you think T.C.R.I. is  run by a british scientist,boy are you in for a surprise in What the Turtles found and what happens next to them. This was really great. I felt like I was in watching another Turtles movie. Only BETTER!!
Years later I got all four graphic novel books. But to this day it is still my favorite Turtle's graphic novel. GET IT NOW!!

I grew up with the turtles, and am a huge fan of anything tmnt...movie was good. Probably deserves more stars, if I were younger I may have had a different experience, but I didn't feel it was made for my generation (34).

I am a grandmother of eleven and I get the biggest kick out of these guys. This DVD is the first of three that cover the complete first season of the latest version of the TMNTs.  The characters are well-developed and each one has different strengths and weaknesses.  Children of all ages can enjoy the stories. The computer generated images are excellent and I prefer this series to a cartoon version.

Episodes included are:
Rise of the Turtles (double-length episode)
Turtle Temper
New Friend, Old Enemy
I Think His Name is Baxter Stockman
Metalhead

Special Features:
6 "Making of Animatics"
Theme Song Karaoke Music Video

So after the turtles defeat Shredder and escape from the TCRI building, they take a break at Casey's grandmother's farm in the episode Reflections.  Yeah its a clip show, but its featuring the Shredder!  Our heros reflect, hehheh, on everything they know concerning him thus far.  And they also ponder the reason why they became the Tmnt.

  And in the Ultimate Ninja, Leonardo has to face a mysterious oponent from another dimension.  But does Splinter know more about this foe and his agenda than he's admiting?

  The other two eps are alright.  Its a good set over all.

Better than I was expecting; started watching with my 4 1/2 year old son just to get away from cartoons for a break.  He loves the TMNT. Good special affects and background storyline.  Not intended for the little kids I have to say, obviously!

These look pretty awesome and they definitely stand out on a car.
They go pretty well with "Transformers Decepticon Wheel Center Hub Cap Black/Chrome, 4-Pcs ".

Don't know how long the glue on em will last but hey until then "DESTROY the AUTOBOTS"

Yup. My car is going all Decepticon.
Definitely something worth it for a fan

It's a sendup to the classic TMNT series that tends to be somewhat irreverent at points. It seems to put down the '84 iteration for being too silly while indulging in a comic book style multiverse plot. Don't let me stop you from enjoying it, but this viewer prefers Transdimensional Turtles from the nicktoon version.

A great fun family movie, I really enjoy it. I remember the old movies and TV series of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it was great to see the story line of how the came to be.

This is the old series which aired on TV in the eighties. My 22 year old daughter thinks it's great that her seven year old brother is now watching one of her favorite cartoons when she was little! Although he says the turtles in this series "look like babies", because he is accustomed to the sleeker, more modern look of the turtles in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-Fast Forward, which is what is airing on TV now, he nevertheless enjoys the old series and owns volumes 1-4. I consider them money well spent!

I would have given this 5 stars, but the dialogue from the old series is really silly and not as well-written as the more recent 2 series and the movies which were geared to entertain adults as well as little kids.

What IDW has done with TMNT is great. The stories, the characters & the art are all great. I never read the original comic book, I started with the first cartoons. So for those who are really faithful to the original comic book I wouldn't know how it measures up for them, but for fans who've seen all the other incarnations, this is a great one.

So I think of Ninja Turtles a good movie except for the fact that the turtles kind of look like Shrek on steroids but besides that they got the characters good I think the characters are virtually the same as the old movies and I like the fact that splinter moves around more now and he's like this badass ninja master overall I'm going to give the movie of 5 stars because anything Ninja Turtles I'm a fan of

Much better than I had expected, especially being a TMNT fan from back in the day. I still prefer my old turtle movies and cartoons but am still a fan after seeing the new ones too.
