The eBay Prop-Watch pick for today stopped me dead in my tracks. Granted, I wasn't actually walking at the time, but I'm speaking in a metaphorical sense you jerk. Today's pick isn't just some random prop from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." It's an assortment of props from multiple "Turtles"-related projects.
There are a few caveats. First: it's expensive. Damn expensive. The Buy It Now is set at $5,000 and bidding opens at $3,5999. Second: not everything is in pristine condition, as you'll see in the image after the jump. And finally: there's no mention in the description of any sort of Certificate of Authenticity. The items certainly look legit, though someone who's prepared to rip another person off for $5K is probably will to spend a little bit to make the ruse believable.
Still... it's hard to call this auction anything less than badass. Read more...

There was also some talk of cameos and returning characters, too. Cowabunga!

FROM SPLASH PAGE: The Internet was set ablaze recently when "Turtles" co-creator Kevin Eastman declared that a live-action film featuring the four karate-chopping amphibians was in the works. The rumor seemed to be quickly deflated however when someone close to the project labeled Eastmark's remarks as "complete nonsense."
But now, MTV News can reveal the exclusive truth behind the future of the "Turtles," as the franchise's co-creator and current owner Peter Laird has confirmed to us that a deal is close for a feature film that would fuse the worlds of live-action and CGI. Read More On MTV's Splash Page blog...
