Unless it's over before I have to start, I might have to watch it tomorrow, then. I have a D&D game at 6pm my time. It's now 1:40ish.

It starts in about 3 hours and the stream is probably 1 hour long, you do the math

It'll be 2am where I live so I'll be watching tomorrow.

Wow, Tiffany and Aunt Aggie? Really, we have gotten that deep into this line?

Ha, turns out no. They were just renders they did to appear in photo accessories that came with actual figures. At least so far........

[Basil Elks]

Watched it, and it ended just in time for me to start my D&D game. Also, that bonus animated end was awesome.

Just saw the interview... that "Tiffany & Aunt Aggie reveal" timestamp was very misleading...

And it's good to hear Trevor confirming that April will come with a couple of interchangeable heads, makes it sound like she will have more than 2. I really hope they aren't intentionally waiting till April to reveal/release her, we've been waiting long enough for this figure.

I love the RPG stuff, so much of that stuff was fun in the early days. Could get behind some toys of some of that stuff.

Mythic Legions make good substitutes for DnD characters, especially with how you can swap parts and buy custom heads. Would be cool if some site sold turtle heads so people could make some ye old Turtles, but I guess that is what Furry is doing.

Was the backshot in the video a tease of the new April or the old figure? It seems taller and more appropriately sized this time around.

I'm slow to the quickness... has the lair been confirmed?

Also, any word on the Party Wagons?

The lair is confirmed and was shown at SDCC, or NYCC, or whatever it was. It's going to be sold in 3 parts, Living Room, Workshop, Kitchen. In the most recent interview with Trevor the factory was still trying to get back to them on it. Since it's a very big, complicated, "lots of pieces" thing, they haven't had a chance to put it up for order as soon as they meant to.

The Van was another thing Trevor mentioned the factory having finished with an updated/closer to final piece I believe? But they were expecting samples of that very soon... So we may actually see updated shots in a couple weeks or so.

when i was at power con last year, they did confirm there will be a 4th room too, but it's not been shown and they didn't say what room it was

Definitely the old figure.

Cool. Hopefully it’s the Turtle Van garage, but the dojo or training area is probably a safer bet.

I watched that interview with Speeky Geeky so for those who don't want to sit through it, here's my summary (I'm just putting everything here even though the interview covers the toon, movie, comics, etc):

• Deluxe April is still yellow jumpsuit April, but with more stuff. No word on if the actual body sculpt is the same or a new one. Her Aunt is just a picture (like the Tiffany one) and Trevor said they'll probably never actually make her.

• Tiffany was a digital sculpt done for the Channel 6 set. Trevor didn't say she was actually getting released and even said they'll probably never do her. Though that lead into a talk that a lot of their figures start off as "We'll probably never make this character," and then do. I don't know, maybe the host confirmed off camera that she is indeed coming or the descriptor is just misleading. He did include Aunt Agatha as a reveal and I'd hardly classify the info on her as such.

• The portal is a separate thing. I think we knew that already, but I wasn't sure.

• The VCR on the TV can actually house a VHS tape, which I just found neat.

• Tempestra is likely to be a deluxe release. Trevor was coy on her, but also conceded she needs to happen to complete the Night of the Rogues.

• Archie Turtles are unlikely right now because they're too similar to the Fred Wolf turtles.

• Wrestling Turtles, on the other hand, sound like a sure thing.

• And the wrestling turtles will likely need some opponents.

• No plans to reissue Scrag or Claw Shredder or really any other prior exclusive.

• No plans to restart the video game line at this time, but it's not dead.

• Trevor personally wants to make Willy Wombat.

That struck me as the most interesting stuff. There was more description of Keno and some of the monster line, but nothing struck me as a reveal. As expected, this talk was recorded back in December so Trevor probably lined up some interviews during a weekend and got them all done so it's from the same time as The Fwoosh chat. Apparently, there's still more from this interview to come too, but who knows how long that will take and if the news will be outdated or not.

*Sigh*

Still no mention of a Casey Jones rerelease or update...

Other than the new April it is the last major piece I really need and I don't want to buy an old one off ebay.

I didn't bullet-point it, but Trevor did mention they were likely to reissue older figures with Casey being mentioned as well as Bebop and Rocksteady, but they've been saying that for awhile. I'm not sure if it's his call to do that, or if that is from another part of the company.

[LaserLips]

Hoping for a reissue of the actual turtles sometime. I'm late to the party.
