26:04 I hate to be such a nerd, but the 2012 series was NOT Pizza Face's first appearance. It was his first on TV, but not as a whole. Pizza Face was a character in the 1988 toyline, where he was described as Shredder's chef, who wanted to become "the most powerful pizza chef ever". To do this, he put himself in his "retromutagen oven" but the turtles came in time to pull him out in the middle of the process. This turned him into a "half baked" monstrosity who vows vengeance against the turtles, wanting to turn them into pizza toppings. The 88 toyline was fucking hardcore.

I wish TMNT would adapt former toy exclusive characters more often

The fact that the TMNT 2003 series got season 7 rejected, because there was fear that kids would get confused with the past and present day turtles, is really an examples of executives underestimating their audience.

if there's one thing this video has taught me, outside of TMNT lore and history, is the importance of physical media. so many TMNT games and moments from the 90s are lost to history because there's no physical copy. it's really scary how quickly something can disappear from the face of the earth and its disheartening for fans

I love how you use commercial breaks and actual advertisements to separate the iceberg segments.

It helps that Kirby has the ninja ability (in which, he uses in the anime) and The Next Mutation (the cancelled movie, not the awful live-action show) was going to introduced Kirby the 5th turtle

Fun fact about Cartoon All-Stars: Michelangelo is the only cartoon character to be absent on the box art. This may be due to a mistake by the artist or a deliberate choice to avoid complaints from parents who didn't like how violent TMNT was Conversely, Smurfette can be seen on the cover, despite not appearing in the special itself, which is most likely a mistake Edit: Smurfette's appearance on the cover may also hint that she was planned to appear in the special at one point but got cut, leaving the cover unedited

That Oprah clip will never get old. So funny.

Yes, the 2014 tmnt movie wanted to beat the audience over the head with the fact that Megan fox is attractive every chance it got. The sequel did it as well.

That He-Man Crossover sounds amazing. If nothing more than to see Skeletor and Shredder fighting side-by-side. I was literally thinking the DreamWorks She-Ra show could actually pull-off a crossover before the segment came up. The art styles are very compatible!

Well... It is a real thing now... A toy line of this crossover is available now and the toys includes a minicomic

Finally, a good iceberg on the tmnt. I've been lookin forward to this one

Definitely needs Mirage representation, could have gone into the future eras of Mirage where all the Turtles went their own ways and how they ended up. But wonderful video otherwise, a few nitpicks would be a lot of the characters first appeared in the toy line over the cartoon and for the Next Mutation you said Shredder was "killed off" but then mention his return later on. (He was just like mind wiped by Venus's magic initially.)

I just want to say I appreciate the running gag of listing off an unnecessarily long list of Fortnite skins whenever the game gets mentioned.

Shredder's revenge is incredible and well worth it! They got the Wu Tang Clan and Ghostface Killah together for Shredder's boss fight theme!

The year couldn’t end on a higher note! Thanks for everything you’ve done this year Pigpen !! Have a happy new year !!

I actually learned about a lot of things here for the first time that I never would've expected (especially most of the cancelled stuff! I knew there were some scrapped pitches and concepts but DAMN), so easily the best TMNT iceberg video I've seen, and I bet ever made, so great job, my good sir!

16:55 = This actually was the one thing TNM did right. Donatello should have always had a metal staff.

A Weird Villain iceberg, tho... Now that would be something!

57:51 its ironic they chose EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER WHO WOULD SMOKE WEED for this campaign.

It's wild how literally all of the other actors considered for April in the reboot would have been better suited for the role than Megan Fox, imo. Wild.

Man I remember actually playing with a street sharks toy my uncles gave me as a hand me down

I was confused as to why you censored the concept art for "Evil April", but now I see why. I'm sure that was an early idea and it was dropped quickly, but I didn't know there's an official piece of concept art from The Jim Henson Company where April has her chest basically exposed.

Yeeees, I've waited for this moment,even thought I'm a bigger Lego Ninjago fan TMNT are my second favorite pair ninjas

What's funny is that while the '87 cartoon was known as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, when the 90's TMNT movie was released internationally, it still retained the actual title, hints of a supposed change to the international release were found elsewhere including on a Japanese release of the film, the credits song in the international release having the word Ninja replaced with Hero, and gallery images in the Hong Kong DVD release of the film showing scanned versions of the lobby cards with the altered name. These types of hints including the fact that the UK version had Mikey's nunchucks covered in darkness indicated that this was being worked on but for whatever reason never made it in the UK release.

i'd really like to see either a power rangers iceberg or a ben 10 iceberg from you

so many things i never knew about the tmnt and the first one to make me completely lose it was how the "We Wish You a Turtle Christmas" included a gift of CHOPSTICKS, my goodness i burst out in laughter
