Whoa-oh Dream Beaver, I Believe You Can Get me Through The Ni-iiiight!

My oldest daughter got me the TMNT Dream Beaver for Christmas. 'Dark Beaver' as this specific member of the four Dream Beavers is called (the other three being Dire, Dread and Dave), is a TMNT figure I have been waiting for ever since it was announced. He's just so ridiculous I had to have him, even though I have yet to see the episode these guys appear in!

The Dream Beavers are apparently interdimensional beings that haunt people's dreams. Based in part on Freddy Kreuger (two of the Dream Beavers are even voiced by Robert Englund...but not this one) The Dream Beavers were also inspired by the Terror Bears, which were RPG characters parodying the Care Bears. Meta!

'Keep driving, Daddy Pig! KEEP DRIVING!!!!!!'

'I think we lost him, George! Now let's go home.'

Dark Beaver is part of the latest wave of Nickelodeon TMNT action figures. There was another Dream beaver said to be on the roster, but supposedly Playmates discontinued that one. Time will tell; if Dark Beaver is a hot seller they will probably release more, considering how cheap it is to make the rest of them via simple plastic re-coloring. But whatever the future holds, I really like Dark Beaver and am glad I have him at least.

It's also just fun to say 'Dark Beaver'.
