All of us here at THS obviously love us some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and my favorite thing about being a TMNT fan these days is seeing alltheawesomeinterpretations of the characters from talented artists.
Dave Rapoza has been taking the hyper-realistic route as he’s been releasing his TMNT character portraits, and now he is selling prints from his blog. My favorites are Metalhead, Shredder, and Donatello, but they’re all amazing.
Go check them out, and in the meantime I’ll be digging through boxes looking to see if I still have a Metalhead action figure.
Welcome to Top Hat Sasquatch, formerly called Saturday Morning Central. Things have been pretty quiet around here lately, but as of today, we’re ready to kick the site into high gear. You’ll notice we now have an amazing illustration in our header by the awesome Alex Deligiannis. Besides the new design, we’re excited to start posting fun and geeky content again as well as getting the podcast started, which is called Bubble Pipe Theater.
Now would be a good time to follow us on Twitter, subscribe to our RSS feed, and keep an eye out. Things are going to get interesting around here!
There’s a lot of movies for geeks to be excited about in 2011. Lots of superheroes are getting their first movies, the Harry Potter saga is coming to an end, and The Muppets are finally getting a new movie that looks like it’s at least trying to pay homage to the classic Muppets.
I haven’t posted any of the short viralish teasers that Disney’s released, partly because I’m trying to not repost things from other blogs as much, but mainly because I was waiting for the first full trailer.
I think it was worth the wait. The voices may not be the same, but it has that Muppet spirit. In case you’re still not convinced, here are some reasons why you should be excited:

Wow, I didn’t expect to get this bit of news in my inbox today. Nickelodeon and Shout! Factory are brining the entire first season of Rocko’s Modern Life, my favorite 90s cartoon, to DVD in June. This is especially surprising because for a while Amazon has had exclusive dibs on some crappy ‘best of’ DVDs, but now we’ll actually get all 26 episodes of the first season on two discs. I’m so excited.
Our good friends over at DK Publishing just sent word of their new “Attack of the Authors” East Coast Tour to support the new book Star Wars: Battles for the Galaxy that comes out on April 18th.
You can find a pretty good preview of the book at the DK UK site, but we’ll have an early review sometime soon. Like most cool events, their tour isn’t coming close to me, but hopefully some of you are in their path and can report back with some photos. I should let them know that their logo for the event clearly includes Indiana, but I’ll let them off the hook.
