You didn't like the Next Mutation show? Blasphemy! Seriously, though, I watched a few episodes recently and didn't think it was nearly as bad as it seemed way back when. And that Power Rangers/Ninja Turtles crossover episode was gold, if only because of what happened in it.

Also, Astronema was hot.

But yeah, the NM figures did have pretty cool sculpts! And I'm a big fan of Venus, if only because of how controversial she is in the fandom. She's certainly a more interesting female Turtle than April was in that one comic. ;)

I'm impressed Venus' head sculpt is able to convey her femaleness so well with so few human features.

This was the end of TMNT for me in the 90's. TNM was just sooo lame. I tried watching it, and probably saw half the series, but that was because it was on to watch. I just didn't like anything about the show, except maybe the movie style animatronics (am I saying that right?). But there were scenes I recall sucking, like when they would jump on their motorcycles and other vehicles. You could tell they were wearing weird turtle helmet/masks. And they always added voice overs to these scenes, and it looked cheesy since their mouths wouldn't move in these shots.

Saban was pretty shameless in the 90's though. And I vividly recall their attempted cross overs with TMNT:TNM and Power Rangers. :lol: Entertaining episodes none the less, but really out there on the radar for an unexpected cross over.

Oh, and I absolutely detested the figures from this line. I had already stopped collecting the original series figures, since all they had released up to this point were weird theme based turtle sets, and the lamocity of this new show made it that easier to pass on any figs from the Next Mutation line as well.
