Besides those colorized editions, each book will get a "Black, White & Red" Edition (does what it says on the tin), a KS-exclusive variant-cover edition, and a "Mutagen Green" foil-stamped cover edition. Add-ons include miniatures and themed dice. Stretch goals include stats and a miniature for the Turtles' fellow Mirage Studios stalwart Fugitoid. I still have my brother's old copy of the classic TMNT&OS (and the After the Bomb supplement), but I might buy into the new edition anyway just because of the penguin unlock (and splash out on going transdimensional because dinosaurs).
