Meet The Team

Gary Dolan | ADMIN

 As far back as he can remember Gary has always been a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. Born in 1987 he fell right into Turtle Mania from a young age. What ended up solidifying his lifelong passion is when he was a young teenager his family donated all of his toys to a local Salvation Army and was told "when you get older, you'll grow out of TMNT." Now at age 35 it doesn't look like he or many others in the community will be "growing out of it." 

A quote from the man himself.
"As long as you stay young at heart you'll never grow out of the things that define you."

Steven Joseph | ADMIN

Steven has always loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles since the first day he watched them on TV one random Saturday morning eating his breakfast when he was younger. He is a kid at heart and hopes his kids will follow that path one day of loving the TMNT.

Steven is looking to take his knowledge of TMNT into helping the TMNT Party Wagon group continue to grow and be the most authentic group in the industry. He looks forward to connecting with the entire community and can't wait to talk TMNT.

Dustin Richholt | ADMIN

Sup I'm Dustin. From Bismarck, North Dakota born and raised, the skatepark is where I'd spend most of my days. I was born in 1982, so of course I was playing with my TMNT figures. My dad worked for a local newspaper company and would get early releases of certain magazines and comics. One of those comics was the first edition of TMNT, sadly these were stolen from me by family members. It never changed my love for the four brothers though!! I have three beautiful daughters who all love their daddy's turtles. I am a HUGE horror fan as well. I'm just a quirky kid at heart who still loves to play with his toys!

Oscar Cano | ADMIN

Hello fellow Tmnt fans, hardest thing for me are always introductions. Im Oscar Cano, born in 93 so my love for tmnt started because of my brother, we used to watch tmnt cartoons/movies together. I remember waking up on Saturdays with him, heating up some pizza and buffalo wings our father brought from his job at the time and just watching the cartoons. As he got older all his toys became mine, my favorite being sewer samurai leo I carried it with me everywhere I went. Fast forward to life now my kids and fiancé may not like tmnt as much as I, but me?.... I still love being a turtle!!! Collecting tmnt really helped out during covid, I have met so many great people and found a new passion customizing the NECA figures and now am party of the amazing TMNT Party Wagon group.

Nick Cranford | ADMIN

As long as I can remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been in my life. My Uncle gave me a pretty big start in the world of TMNT. When I was three years old he gave me a chest locker full of playmates figures that he had as a kid, and whenever he would see anything Turtles related he would try and pick it up for me. When my Uncle finally had a son of his own I gave him the chest back with what he gave me, and what I had amassed over the years. After that I had stopped collecting anything. A decade later I stumbled across both packs of the NECA movie line turtles, and all the nostalgia rushed back into my life. Now I’ve gone all in with collecting anything, and everything Turtles.

Favorite Turtle: The best one… Raphael 
Currently Collecting: Turtles, and Turtle accessories.

Jessalyn Fouke-Scott | ADMIN

Jessalyn Fouke-Scott grew up in a small town with 2 sisters and 1 brother. All 4 of us kids were instant fans of TMNT and it really brought us together and still does. Always into art of many kinds, and a tomboy growing up so my brother always had a buddy for sports and action figure collecting etc. I won a few art contests in school and college & had a few jobs involving art too. Got married to my husband Korey and got into his hobbies of motorcycles and repair . Career wise I Ended up at a dispatching job for HVAC and plumbing for about 6 years until my son, Dean, was born in 2018. I’m now a stay at home mom trying to make some art and money to fund my never ending TMNT collecting habit.  Follow me on IG!

Mad Hatter | ADMIN

Action figure enthusiast/YouTuber/lover of hats, Mad Hatter has been collecting since he was a wee turtle. A lover of all things pop culture 80s and 90s, this mysterious figure spends way too much time and way too much money chasing the nostalgia bug. When he’s not hunting and reviewing toys or awkwardly talking about himself in the third person, he enjoys movies, video games and the In-N-out 3x3 burger. Cheers!

Currently Collecting: oh boy….TMNT, thundercats , MOTU, Silverhawks, gargoyles, and many random lines I don’t want to add up.

 Brandon | High Anxiety | GROUP EXPERT

Throughout my entire life, TMNT has been important. No matter how hard I tried to suppress it when I was being “cool” for the ladies, I’ve always come back to my first true love. I see parts of myself in each of the brothers, which makes it really difficult to pick just one. One of the coolest parts of being a parent is seeing my kids find interest in Ninja Turtles with me.

 With my wife’s support, I launched High Anxiety Media with my partner Ty. While we do a lot on the youtube page, the most frequent posts revolve around my love for Ninja Turtles. I’d love for you to check it out, and I’d be forever grateful if you searched beyond the TMNT stuff as well!

Favorite Turtle: Michelangelo 
Currently Collecting: UNFORTUNATELY pretty much all modern TMNT Figures. Also some NECA Horror and Back to the future

Favorite TMNT Movie: The OG cannot be matched, but Secret of the Ooze was my favorite growing up.
