The above video recently appeared on YouTube, featuring a slideshow of photographs taken at the recent Hong Kong Toy Fair. The pictures showcase what we are likely to see from Playmates at next month's Toy Fair in New York.

If you watch the full 7+ minutes you'll notice a lot of new items, including Leatherhead, the Rat King, an unmasked Shredder, a full line of mini figures, a 7-pack of Mousers, and 2 2-packs of small "Ninjas in Training" Turtles figures, among others. Snapshots of some of those new items are featured below.

New TMNT Episodes Begin Jan. 25; New Voice Cast Members Announced

Tweet

An exclusive article on TVGuide.com has announced that new episodes of Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series will begin again on January 25. This special Friday night episode will air at 7pm Easter / 6pm Central (check your local listings to be sure) and introduces the Rat King.

Also revealed in the article is the news that Roseanne Barr has been cast as the voice of Kraang Prime, who will appear in the season finale. Additionally, Kelly Hu has been announced as the voice of Karai, and Cassandra Peterson (aka Elvira) will be a research scientist named Mrs. Campbell.

The character design for Karai, who is presumably shown facing Leo in the picture above, has created a bit of a stir. She is said to be a rebellious teenager, which is a bit of a departure from previous incarnations of the character.

"Ninja Turtles" to Begin Filming in New York in April

Principle photography on TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, is scheduled to begin this April in New York.
— Production Weekly (@prodweek) January 12, 2013

While no details are currently available, the above tweet showed up over the weekend, declaring that filming on the upcoming live action TMNT movie would begin in New York starting in April. Previously, the movie had been scheduled to film in Vancouver (before getting shut down back in June). It is likely that New York filming will consist of establishing shots, considering the lower cost of shooting a movie in Vancouver.

Whatever the case, this news means that the movie is ready to start moving forward again. Let's just hope the script has been completely rewritten so that it doesn't at all resemble the absolute piece of crap script that was leaked online over the summer.

Tweet

Beginning January 12, cable network The Hub will be airing episodes of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation.

From the press release:

“Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation” (1:30-2 p.m.) Hub TV Network Series Premiere
Everyone’s favorite turtles are coming to The Hub! Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo are four genetically mutated turtles who have grown into human-sized, ninja-powered crime-fighters living in the sewers of New York City. Under the tutelage of Master Splinter, these four teens have spent their formative years fighting their nemesis, Shredder, and his evil army. But now, they are introduced to a new foe, Dragon Lord. It will take all the power of the turtles to combat the new villain, but lucky for them, they will have help from a new ninja turtle, a female turtle named Venus De Milo.
