Today Nickelodeon released the first trailer for the next incarnation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These turtles are a bit younger, not as polished in their ninja skills and are not a cohesive team. It is a whole new look, lineup of their roles and more. This time around we have four different turtles. By different I mean the species for each turtle is distinct. I think that they picked great species to represent each turtle, especially for Raphael. He’s definitely a snapping turtle. My first thought on the new designs was that I wasn’t that impressed but the more I see them in action I like the look, especially Raphael. He’s my second favorite turtle but after this series, he may become my favorite. You can see the trailer below. Then below that is the full release from Nickelodeon.
In July of 2014 I had the most amazing trip of my life in Social Media. I got to go to California to see Guardians of the Galaxy and interview the cast. To this day it is my absolute favorite movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Maybe it was interviewing Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista or James Gunn, maybe it was cooking with my good friend Chris Lewis of Dad of Divas and even more great fun things. It was just the most incredible experience and so the Guardians of the Galaxy will always be a part of what I love about the movies. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of GotG Vol. 2. It was released last night and I haven’t seen it yet. I don’t even know when I’m going to get to see it. I hope it is soon.
In the meantime I have been building all my Guardians of the Galaxy LEGO sets. I’ve made some stop motions movies and also some timelapses of the builds. The builds have been fun. I’ve enjoyed building the sets and stop motion shorts. Thinking of something funny each time has been a challenge but also fun to try. I love the humor of the movies and hoped that I made something fun to watch.
Today I built set #76081 which is the Milano vs The Abilisk. This set has Star-Lord, Baby Groot, Gamora, Drax and Nebula. They are cool minifigs. I’ve now done all 3 of the sets and have the whole team and the baddies, but the one figure that is not part of any of the sets is Ego. I’m hoping that another set is going to come out later, maybe because it contains a spoiler. I’m not sure. I still want a Kurt Russell Minifig.
I tried something different with the timelapse today. I hope that you enjoy it. No time for stop motion, though.
