Dudes. Thought I'd share this with you. As you are all aware, the original voice actors weren't hired for the TMNT pinball machine.
Since it came out, I've been thinking about how strange of a decision that is, since it's entirely based on the 87' series. More importantly, they are mostly still with us. Cam(Leo) and Rob(Raph) still sound exactly like they did back then.

Well, I decided to contact all of the original cast. Sans Shredder.
My hope is to replace all of the existing lines for each turtle, with as much as the original cast as possible. There are tons of lines per turtles.
To my surprise Cam(Leo) said yes.

I'm stunned. Leo has by far the most lines. I put together a list of lines for Leo/Rocksteady(Cam did both). 142 total.
He's charging me a reasonable amount (still a boat load for me) But to immortalize even one of the original cast, in this pin, is just incredible for me. That I'm even corresponding with Cam, has been a real pleasure for me.

Hopefully he can convince the rest of the cast to help me out.
Once all is said and done, I'd really love to share the customized firmware with the community. I do hope some of you can help me out with this, as I can barely afford one turtle. I'd appreciate anything you're willing to donate, if you can appreciate
this project.

Here's a link where you can help me out, if are willing:

I don't intend to make any profit on this, as it has nothing to do with that. Even if this gets shut down by Stern, I would be so happy just to have this on my pin. As it's my pin, I'm free to modify it as I please. But I really want to share it with you dudes.
Cowabunga!!!!.

Also, no disrespect to the voice actors Stern hired. They are great.

That is really cool! Congrats on tracking down the orginal cast and getting Leo to do voice acting! As a big turtles fan growing up I think that is awesome.

I know that it's not the real actors.

I think they did a very good job( specially on Shredder, Splinter, and Krang!
