Today my beautiful wife surprised me with the 25th Anniversary Turtle Van from Toys R Us... Then I showed her a Craigslist post for the Cowabunga Carl Van for a really good price and she was so sweet and let me get it... I even got a Donatello figure with the van!

If you are a TMNT fan and you don't live under a rock, you have probably heard of Rutger. He is probably the biggest, no wait, is the biggest TMNT fan over across the pond.

Recently, I felt the urge to ask Rutger a few questions about his collection. He happily replied to my email and was delighted I took an interest. I suggest everyone who is a TMNT fan check out his website.

1) On your website you mention Raphael as your favorite turtle. Is there a particular reason for this choice?

When I was 9 and the Turtles were hot here in the Netherland you had to have your favorite Turtles, otherwise you were out. My favorite has always been Raphael, and for a few personal obvious reasons. First I love red (back then I had no idea, that all 4 Turtles were supposed to have red bandana's) then he's name started with an R, like my name and I just love his weapons. they are the most beautifull.I have them stored in file cases. Books with transparant sleeves. Each aquirred autograph photo sits in a sleeve, on the back of the sleeve I  have a white sticker with information on when I got who it is and where I got it. Some autograph I have framed, but made a pre-print of the original, cause I dont want my original photo bleached by sunlight.My other interests are videogames, drawing, playing guitar and I'm a movie freak. Latest movies I saw where: Benjamin Button, Inglourious Basterds and The Hangover, I occasionally read a book (Sci-Fi) and ofcourse my TMNT books and comics ;)My most precious one is from Judith Hoag, April in the first Live-action movie. It took me almost 4 years to find her and get in contact and she has always been nr. 1 on my wanted list for TMNT autographs. So in that case, thats the one I would save!There are many I sent, but never returned. I always try new ways  like with Judith Hoag. At the moment there are some classic cartoon names I'm hoping to receive, like Mona Lisa and Leatherhead. But I'm also have my eyes and ears pinned on any new names that'll be revealed for the new TMNT 2011 movie.

Well there you have it. Not many questions but very thoughtful answers from Rutger. Thanks Rutger for taking the time to answer my questions. It is always great to hear and talk to a fellow turtle fan! Again, be sure to check out his website, he has lots of great stuff over there!

I just recently picked up two TMNT magnets from Spencer's at the mall. One says "Chicks Dig Guys That Eat Out!" and the other says "Go Green!". Plus I also got 4 buttons one of each turtle.

You can also see that I updated the 16gb USB TMNT custom. I ended up painting the entire figure black and also painting an extra CD black and mounting the figure to the CD and adding a 25th anniversary button in the center. It looks pretty sharp.

Mutant Ooze correspondent DJ Krueger recently attended the 2009 Toronto Fan Expo. From the list of events going on DJ Krueger had a lot to check out. When talking to DJ Krueger about the event he said;

"The best part was hanging out with Lou Ferigno, and seeing all the great costumes everyone had. I also got to meet a lot of my favorite artists and buy alotta cool stuff."

Asked if he would go again next year, the answer was.

"Yeah I'm definitely gonna go back next year."

Below you can see some of the pictures DJ Krueger snapped, including a great picture of the TMNT panel.

I know this was released a few weeks ago and has already made its way around the blog and news posts but we here at MutantOoze don't really care about breaking the news first, we just care about the turtles. So without holding out much further, here is the TMNT iGoogle theme. Add it to your homepage today!
