The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Team Up with the Ghosbusters to Save the Universe

 

Two teams of legendary heroes will join forces this fall to save New York City and the world from the paranormal and the monstrous when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cross paths with the Ghostbusters! With both franchises celebrating their 30^th anniversaries this year, it’s never been better time to team up Proton Packs with Ninjutsu!

Transported to a different universe by a faulty invention, the TMNT find themselves in a New York City much like their own, but with one major exception: a rampant ghost problem! If that weren’t enough, the Turtles and their reluctant new hosts, the Ghostbusters, soon find that the Turtles didn’t come alone…

The crossover is written by two talented creators who couldn’t be better acquainted with these unique franchises — Tom Waltz and Erik Burnham. In addition to writing the ongoing Turtles series at IDW, Waltz has also served as editor for the ongoing Ghostbusters series, written by Burnham ­who, in turn, co-wrote the critically acclaimed series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Secret History of The Foot Clan.

“A couple of years ago, Tom Waltz and I chatted like the fans we are about how insanely fun this crossover would be if we ever got the chance to write it,” said series co-writer Erik Burnham. “As I sit here today, my excitement level is at eleven.”

“This is an idea that Erik, series editor Bobby Curnow, and I have bounced off each other for quite a while,” said series co-writer Tom Waltz. “And being as deeply entrenched in both properties as the three of us are gives us a unique perspective on how to bring them together. And what better time to do it than during the combined 30^th year anniversary celebration?”

“Both Ghostbusters and Turtles are fun, funny and just a little bit weird,” said Curnow. “So putting the two together is a natural choice, especially when you consider the fact that Tom and Erik have worked on both properties for years. This one should be an absolute blast!”

Long-time Ghostbusters artist Dan Schoening will take on cover and interior art duties. Currently showing off the immensity of his talents in the Ghostbusters arc “Mass Hysteria,” Schoening has proven his ability to give this special mini-series the epic scale it deserves. Issue #1 will sport a variant cover by T-Rex Jones, who has provided covers to both series at IDW.

Actively hoped for by fans for years, this epic four-issue event kicks off this October!

Fugitive Toys SDCC 2014 Funko Pop! Exclusives

Fugitive Toys has been great in releasing amazing Funko Pop! convention exclusives at many shows, especially in the DC Universe. Last month they shared their Funko Pop! SDCC 2014 Exclusives that would be released at San Diego Comic Con 2014. Fugitive Toys actually put them up on their site for people to pre-order, but the site could not handle the craze of everyone wanting to purchase them at the same time causing them to be sold at a later date. 

Fugitive Toys actually created a special bundle set which would include their DC Universe White Lantern Flash, White Lantern Superman, Ghostbusters Angry Pink Marshmallow Man, their more limited run of Glow in the Dark White Lantern Flash, Glow in the Dark White Lantern Superman, Glow in the Dark Angry Pink Marshmallow Man, and a bonus DC Universe #58 mystery vinyl figure yet to be named for another convention. The set was released yesterday which created a huge buzz once again causing mayhem for people to hope to pick up this bundle pack with the mystery #58. The set did go up shortly after midnight, July 9th and would last for about ten minutes. Luckily, we did stay up and did manage to score one set that we look forward to reviewing once we receive it. 

Because the set was not set for a scheduled time on Wednesday, July 9th, many Funko fans, addicts, Funatics, and collectors alike were upset to learn the set was released when they were fast asleep. Fugitive Toys would come through to the fans though and release a few more sets after 9am (PT) and sell out once again minutes later. Funko Pop! fans are definitely gearing up for the excitement of San Diego Comic Con 2014 as we are. 

There is good news for those that missed out on the special bundle set that we released yesterday. On Friday, July 11th, Fugitive Toys will be selling bundle sets that will include everything above minus that bonus mystery DC Universe #58 figure and they will also be selling each figure individually for those Funko fans only going for that specific figure. We are looking forward to seeing the craze once again. Everyone needs to be prepared though because Fugitive Toys has not released a specific time, so who know if it will go up on sale at midnight once again. Everyone should also keep in mind that Fugitive Toys is in California, so they may be going by Pacific Time. 

Good luck everyone!
