Today MutantOoze.org went under some cosmetic surgery. The basic functionality of the site is still the same, except now you will find the menu for navigation on the left of the page and some new banners/buttons, links, and other TMNT community items below. There is also a new image in the top left of the site. Expect this to change every once in a while to spice up design. Thanks for checking out the site and we'll see ya soon!

After an easy 10 dollar donation to Tokka I found myself being the proud owner of two of his custom sketches (Zat and April O'Neil) and also a very nice print. Along with the button I bought for .44 cents. THANKS TOKKA!

This post is taken directly from GoGreenMachine.org... So be sure to post any comments over on their site. This is great news and definitely something TMNT fans around the world can enjoy!

When GoGreenMachine.Org was created, it’s intention was to be a collaborative project to bring people from all corners of the Ninja Turtle Multi-verse together. To centralize the passion, creativity, and love we have for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so that we could enjoy them on a level that had not previously been possible. While we think we have gone a long way toward this goal, we aren’t there yet. Which is why, today, I am pleased to announce our newest project:

Go Green Machine! – A Collection of Fan-tasic Art and Stories (Working Title)

After quite some time of sorting permissions and working out logistics, GoGreenMachine.Org is taking the next step in bringing the fans together and making your voices heard. We are publishing a book! But who is going to write this masterpiece? You Are.

Starting immediately, GoGreenMachine.Org will begin taking submissions of fan generated TMNT related art, photos, fiction, mini comics, personal profiles, stories, and anything else you can think of! A large selection of these works will be chosen to be included in the publication. This book is going to be created by the fans, for the fans. Our goal is to create a high quality tome of content that each of you can be proud of and allow you to make your mark in the mythos of the TMNT. You’ve given so much of yourself to the boys in green. Now it’s time for you to show the world.

Rules For Submission:
In an effort to not stifle creative juices, we would like to set as few rules as possible. If we are going to use something you submit but it needs to be modified for whatever reason, we will work with you to make it right. But please, no nudity or overtly sexual themes or scenes. Swearing and ninja-violence is ok.

All submissions must be 100% created BY YOU, and not have been published in anything else before.

What We Are Looking For:
Although we are hoping that people suprise us with content we didn’t even KNOW we were looking for, here is a list of ideas to get your brain jumping:

Art - This can be something you’ve done recently or something from your childhood
Photos - Were you at an event? Meet the Mirage gang at a Con? Run into Kevin at the supermarket? Or just had a Turtle-rific 8th birthday party? We want to see it!
Life Stories - If you’ve read this far into this announcement, chances are, the Turtles have touched your lives in amazing ways none of us could even dream of. So tell us!
Fiction - Are you one of those very talented writers who love putting our heroes in death defying situations? Tell us a story.

How To Submit:
Submit any entries directly to our administrator at: Stephan@GoGreenMachine.Org

All submissions must be accompanied by a high resolution photo of yourself, and a breif bio. These will most likely be included in the publication somehow to give each of you proper credit.

The Fine Print:
In submitting anything to us for publication, you are automatically stating that we have the right to publish your work without any compensation to you. Understand that you are doing this because you want to be part of something bigger than yourself, not because you are looking for a payday.

While we do not take ownership of any of the material you submit, we would ask that you not use these materials in future official publications. Blogs, social netowrking sites, etc are fine.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: Am I getting paid for this?
A: No. No compensation will be given. As mentioned before, you are doing this out of love your our fandom, and to make your mark in the turtle universe.

Q: Are YOU getting paid for this?
A: Yes and No. Publishing this book is most likely going to be very, very expensive. Currently, GoGreenMachine plans to publish the book ourselves. Out of our own pocket (somewhat fitting given the origin of the Turtles). So we can promise you that any money we make off these books will go to repaying our investment, funding the site (which is also paid for out of pocket by us), and investing into further TMNT fan projects. The bottom line is that this is a labor of love. You don’t walk away rich from something like this.

Q: When is the book going to be released?
A: We are shooting for a release in the neighborhood of the 2011 Turtles movie. That is of course, subject to change.

Q: If I submit material, am I guaranteed to be in the book?
A: Unfortunately No. The book will undoubtedly have a page limit, and if we get as large of a response as we are hoping, we are going to have to be selective.

Q: What is the deadline for submission?
A: Currently there isn’t one. So just send us stuff till we tell you to stop.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of submissions I can make?
A: Not officially, just use your best judgement.

Q: I would like to help fund, distribute, produce, edit, or design this book.
A: If you would like to help with the project in some other way than content submission, you may contact our administrator at Stephan@GoGreenMachine.Org. Relevent work experience in graphic arts, design, consumer products, etc. will most likely be required.

Any other inquires can be made to our administrator at Stephan@GoGreenMachine.Org

This Project is offically public knowledge, so please, spread the word!

GO GREEN MACHINE!

Tutorial

Stephan over at GoGreenMachine.org posted up a great note about Emily Laird, Peter Laird's daughter. Apparently she got a spot in a company that should be great news for us TMNT fans.

Turtle Power is in full force with the dynamic 2010 line of TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES toys available exclusively at Toys R Us. After a quarter of a century, kids of all ages still love to play with Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. A brand new live action movie that traces the Turtles back to their origins is in the works and is tentatively slated for October 2011, with Galen Walker (TMNT) and Scott Mednick (300) producing. The product line will reflect the special blend of action and humor which makes this franchise so unique and popular. Playmates will introduce new products and re-introduce original products and packaging to focus on the retro style which first popularized the TMNT in the late 1980’s and early 90’s. ORIGINAL MOVIE STAR FIGURES of all four Turtles will be available, along with the Classic Party Van, Sludge Runners and Ninja Gear Role-Play in Retro Packaging. In addition, fall 2010 will see the launch of the CLASSIC COMIC BOOK FIGURES as seen in the very first comic book from 1984. Cowabunga!

I cannot wait for this to be released!

This is my own personal TMNT collection. It is ever expanding. I am currently waiting on a few nice pieces of art from some fellow TMNT fans.



This first picture is of the Cowabunga Carl van and the TMNT mini movie package set. There is also the McDonalds TMNT figures and a couple other guys hanging around there.



This picture has Superman, Spawn, Daredevil, Wolverine, the Linux peguin, some magnets, and the original 80s-90s toys.



Some more of the McDonalds toys as well as the 25th re-release of the Turtle van.



Some loose TMNT figures with the Black and White NECA TMNT release with a bunch of dogs and Shredder hanging out.



The TMNT Battle Shell. You can also see Spiderman swinging and the bride from Kill Bill in the back.



I figured I would show off some of my other NON-TMNT items as well. These are Jason Mraz, Christina Aguleria, and Jessica Alba autographs hanging around my makeshift sound booth.



True Blood and Blow posters.



Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs posters.



This is probably my most creepiest item. My wife hates that I have it. I just think it is so creepy I have to hang it up. This old guy in a boat with the little girl... Creepy, creepy...



My 25th Anniversary re-release collection around a Ralph Steadman poster.



More 25th Toys and my Peter Laird autograph, and you can also see the signed comic I won from GoGreenMachine.org and the two Mike Dooney prints I bought off his blog. I actually only bought 1 and asked him to sign my wife and my name but he emailed back saying he would send two so there wouldn't be any fighting. What a great guy!



Another shot of the Dooney signed prints, and an Eric Talbot signed print as well.



My computer along with my Jenna Jameson autograph.



A better shot of my Jenna autographs... They are very nice...

Well that is it for now. I will try to get better pictures up of the different items in the future.

Ubisoft has released their TMNT Flash game, "Double Damage," to celebrate the release of "TMNT: Smash-Up" for the Wii console. Ubisoft also offers webmasters to be able to install the game on their own website. So head on over to the games section here on MutantOoze.org and check out the new flash TMNT game!
