TMNT LEGO LICENSE
Next I would look at the 1989 #1 issue, when Archie moved the license to an ongoing series. The book is a bit more approachable and even quite possibly a sleeper trading for around $300 in a 9.8.
The first is the 1988 #1 issue which features the first appearance of popular villains Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. It is rare to be able to get three first appearances of such major characters in one book. This book has been red hot for about a year, but still has a lot of meat left on the bone. A 9.8 slabbed copy will run you around $1,000- $1,500. With that in mind, there are two issues that really pique my interest. This is when the Turtles made the change to wearing signature color bandanas versus previously all sporting the red. This was done so that kids watching the cartoon and buying the toys could easily identify each of the brothers. While not much is known about the details of the film, the real question becomes: what are the key issues to be on the lookout for? Based on Rogen’s talk of the teenage element and his age in relation to past TMNT releases, I would venture a guess that he will be heavily influenced by the legendary TMNT cartoon. Those stories took place during the era in which iconic comic publisher Archie Comics held the Turtles license. But excitement for the Turtle brand as a whole is ramping up. For comic book investors, the era of the brothers' lives that the film focuses on leaves me to believe that the 5th Turtle Jennika, who has been a fan favorite since her debut, is unlikely to appear. Rogen’s film will aim to duplicate the success of his previous teen films, while bringing out the juvenile and fun side of TMNT.
TMNT LEGO SERIES
There is also the Last Ronin mini series currently hitting comic shops with a look even further into a post apocalyptic future where only one Brother is alive to continue the fight. The current run of IDW comics focuses on the later years, with the TMNT continuity series seeing New York dealing with divisive issues that feature the adult Turtles no longer in the care of their now deceased leader Splinter, but instead caring for some young mutants themselves. It all started with a mystery package arriving at the IGN offices the other day, which you can see here: Hmmm, pizza? Tubular? By the way, turns out they were right: Not really meant for eating.With the post of just one tweet (maybe two), Seth Rogen sent the comic market buzzing as he teased his upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Film. The image Rogen tweeted of Leo’s notes really hammers home the idea that Rogen is going to lean into the Teenage element of TMNT. LEGO promises more reveals throughout the weekend, so check back soon, but I also wanted to share with you the method that was used to disclose the new TMNT license to the press.
