Rise and Fall of the Mighty Mutanimals - TMNT Archie 

Thanks for watching! Would you buy an official comic-book continuation of this group?

I would love a modern day version of the Mutanimals and finally giving them the ressurection of a comic and TV series they have been long overdue to have.

Gosh dang, i liked the Mutanimals. It was a tragedy. Thanks for the explanation.

Man , I am so sad that we never got a show of off this. It is a shame because my favorite mutanimal was Wyrm, and he only appeared in one version of the series. If I am to become a writer or something good , you can count on me to bring this idea back in the spotlight. God bless , and go pursue your dreams. I will be back soon.

The Mutanimals have been in the Turtles' shadow for far too long.

Love it. Have their first issue sitting on my bedside table just so i can thumb through it when the mood strikes.

Who knows? There might even be a Mighty Mutanimals spin-off on Paramount Plus. If villain movies in the Mutant Mayhem universe can be a thing, who’s to say there can’t be a Mutanimals spin-off show in said universe.

Is sad to see the Death of a Sister Franchise, because Playmates didn't want to make a Toy under their brand.

Man, was Archie TMNT dedicated to preaching the Green Gospel.

I'm not entirely sure how popular they would be in comparison to TMNT itself... since recognition would be an issue. Kinda like how Usagi Yojimbo is his own series, but not entirely recognized for that fact.

I never really grew up with the Archie series. So I do look on it as just being a weird oddity to TMNT in general. All I know of it is that Leatherhead has been wildly different in just about every iteration since. Bringing up Bucky O' Hare was sad though. I loved that show/toyline as a kid.

It would be an amazing animated spinoff that I’m surprised just missed the opportunity to become a reality just as TMNT’s popularity was declining. If the idea had began development ONLY a year or two prior; MUTANIMALS, would easily have been capitalized on. Adding in something fun for T.V. even; like Ace the Duck, to round out the team even more. Heck playmates coulda used outdated designs/molds to boost interest in the property while simultaneously letting the company use and produce new molds or repaints of Mutanimal associated characters. Wave 1 of the toys coulda been cost affective using the old TMNT molds (a la MOTU) while interest in The MUTANIMALS franchise grew. Wave 2 then could have been completely new built upon wave 1’s success and the “new” MUTANIMALS spinoff cartoon.

I remember there was one group from the TMNT Archie comics that were also mutant animals. They had a water buffalo, a mutant femal shark that was able to fly in the air, a bumble bee that had fire-based powers. You guys should do a video on them

19:43: there is one mutanimal missing, LEATHERHEAD, & fist looks like CABLE FROM THE X-MEN & THE SEA HORSE LOOKS LIKE BIG BIRD FROM SESAME STREET

They should've did a regular usagi yojimbo cartoon than the gimmick of space usagi

Pff i had all the comics as a kid. Read them many times and even send a letter that made it to issue and i received the autographs of the turtles(offcourse some guy at a desk did it haha) Really amazing comics. Just found your channel, i will follow and catch up on the videos.

22:42 sorry, i don't get the next word. Planned to transform them into... saga? What saga?

Is that an Animorph reference? 7:05

0:18 they’ve taking death surprisingly well. I thought they were in limbo though

That can’t be a picture of THE Steve Murphy.

You know I did wonder about would the Forever Wars give the Mutanimals closure because we got nothing resolved from that and Null, also since we never saw Kid Terra again do you think that he and Jagwar’s mum started a relationship?

2:38 you think malegna and dregg were from the same race?

Well, after what Ken Penders did to the Archie Universe this is probably my secondest infuriating moment in the history of comic books, and it's peak capitalism at its finest. You can also clearly see how much they were treated like crap on those comics before and during their unfair demise, which's probably one of the worst drawings styles I've ever seen in my life. They didn't even try! Even those MS Paint deviantART kids would do a better job than this! While I know that characters die and ressurect all the time in comic books this case is just so fucking disgusting it hurts me physically. It feels like those cases of artists, athletes and workers who are discarded by the industry like garbage once they become "too old" for the job or don't make success anymore like they did in their prime (a.k.a. bring money to the pockets of the businessmen) and are threw into ostracism, never to be seen again and end up homeless and submerged in debts. Anyway, good video and sorry for the rant, this topic always pisses me off to no end. At least I'm glad some of them were brought back to the new TMNT movie, which while it's set in another universe it's a really good movie which focus on a new generation without deprecate its past in the name of profits.

Well I guess it wouldn’t work because if it was connected to the 1987 series wouldn’t it raise more questions like you said that half of them appeared but as villains so I guess it would make if Netherdead was in those Leatherhead episodes then that would make it up for Leatherhead being a villain if they wanted him to be the turtles friend, I only like Limulus because he looks cool and menacing, are you going to do a video on Null both versions and Scumbug and Wyrm also have you seen Mutant Mayhem yet?

You oughta go over the legal battles of mirage comics

Can you do the turtle lair again

Dreadmon desperately needs a remake cause his idw comic and archie comic appearance is all over the place with him being a apartheid south african to a tasmanian wolf with a fake patois accent they should just make dreadmon a Jamaican guy transformed into a mutant timber wolf or a mutated coyote with a Jamaican patois accent

Is that really how Dreadmon is pronounced? 🤔

First

HOLY SHIT! APPARENTLY I HELPED STOP THE MUTANIMALS SHOW... Imagine randomly watching this RU-vid video, and all of a sudden (@10:55), the narrator suddenly discussing a letter you wrote to comic book letters column 32 YEARS AGO. Lol. WTF... Sorry for doing that folks. You could have had your cartoon.
