TMNT 25th Anniversary "Party Bus"

We had a treat yesterday -- the TMNT 25th Anniversary "Party Bus" stopped by Mirage on its way back to the garage from which it originated. This was the first time I had actually seen it up close, and it was pretty cool. The dressing of the bus to make it look like the "party wagon" from the original tv series and toyline was quite well done. Here's a photo I took of the bus parked near the office.



Everyone who was at Mirage that morning either working or visiting came outside to check out the bus. From left to right: me, Mike, Rick, Kendall, Katie, the guy who played Michelangelo at the tour stops, Gary, Dan, the driver of the bus, Dave, and Jim. -- PL

  3. This is so cool. It must be great to see one of your creations come to live in such a grand way.

    Did you get to drive it around?

  7. Don't even get me started on how depressed I am missing the tour of that bus. I only saw the outside of it during SDCC and then had to run off to a panel I was very late for. I made a promise to go back and see the inside, but never got the chance. Someone decided to commit suicide by jumping off the building close to where the bus was parked. Due to this, the bus was moved and I never saw it again. The idea that I'll never get to see the inside saddens me greatly. :(

  8. Thanks, tOkKa. Maybe if the bus ever comes around my area, I might have the chance. Who knows?

    Haha, my word verification is 'busnesse' We're discussing business with the bus! ;)

  10. Yeah I wanted to take that bus home with me. I'm qualified to drive it! lol!!

    They did a neat job with it.

    What happens now the tour is over? The bus should be preserved.

  11. oh yeah i thought it was cool that the bus was previously a prisoner transport, sort of fitting when the TMNT fight criminals.

    Brin - doubt it'll be back here, it's a Thomas...it made it here once, I'd be surprised it'll make it again.
