We decided to venture out towards our favorite downtown SD pizza place only to find out that this was closed off to the public because a panel was about to air soon.

Defeated, we both begin to round the corner and search for the taxi that will bring us salvation. Instead, once we turned the corner we were ambushed by 15 foot soldiers menacingly blocking our path and threatening us into the building. Ok so it was really staff in black pajamas handing out red, blue, purple and orange bandanna masks (I took red) and they said we should just go in and say shredder sent us. We walk in and find a large group of TMNT fans gathered and receiving free bottles of water and being served pizza by the slice, cowa-freakin-bunga dudes! The stage was setup like a new York alleyway with trash bins. This panel introduced the creators of the new cartoon, the writer apparently just started studying ninjutsu as a martial art and wanted to incorporate more of the actual philosophy into the cartoon to give it a new feel. April O'Neil will be trained as a kunoichi (female ninja) and interesting weapon upgrades like Mikey's nunchucks converting into a Kasari gama are examples of new ideas that they were bringing.

Then out of nowhere the trash bins we were standing next to to get a better view of the screen behind the podium flung open and revealed the new toys you see in this thread!

Fellow Arkers I can attest to the coolness of these figures and will definitely be picking up the turtles. There was also a turtle bike that converts to a stealth mode when the turtle shell slides over the driver ( I assume the stealth tech is in the shell or something in the cartoon) and it was pretty awesome.

If these look just as good at retail as they did in the panel I might be hooked on a new line. Crap.

This must be what you were talking about
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Return to TV in CG Animated Series for Nickelodeon - Los Angeles Art - Public Spectacle

I haven't really been keeping up on TMNT, so this is probably old news, but it sounds like others are in the same boat as me and this is new. Plus there's already footage of the cartoon. Seriously, how the hell did I miss this?
