I have been a huge TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles) fan , since i was a kid growing up in the 90s. I held on to some of my toys but i didnt keep any of the boxes, as i had no conception of keeping them for later in life, when they would be more valuable.
Maybe about 10 years ago, i started purchasing some new in box, figures and vehicles, off of ebay so i can stow away, and to stare at once in a while, out of pure nostalgia.
This 1st picture, thumbnail, is actually an official animation art of Shredder, the main villain in the series and movies. Its about 12x10 inches, since is hard to tell the size of in the picture.
Next, im going to show my prized, original set of 4 turtles, mint on card. Not perfect condition, but too far off actually. The holes are not punched, so these are unpunched cards.
Could be the most ridiculous picture ive ever taken of myself lol, but there ya go.
A more serious close up next.
The 4 original turtles. Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Rafael.
The story of the turtles, mostly goes like this. 4 pet turtles, fell into a sewer, and mixed with a mutant ooze. They transformed alongside their mentor, Master Splinter. Like teenagers, loving pizza. They practiced martial arts. In comes the villain Shreddar, and a while other dimension. Many episodes ran in the original, animated episodes in the early 90s.
Such a great show, so many good memories. Many episodes later, there was a movie. Part 2, and part 3 came out. There have been many video games, early on Nintendo, and in arcades.
They had many toys, figures, and vehicles. Ill show some of my favorite vehicles next.
And present, the Turtle Van, and the Turtle Blimp. I had a short discussion about tmnt with @blanchy, and he said the word blimp. I knew exactly which he was talking about because i played with it outside, amazed by it, when i was just about 6 years old. This one here, along with the van are brand new and sealed, fairly good condition. Blanchy is a cool guy too, so if you dont have a follow on him, go ahead and check him out.
So the 4 main characters, 2 of the most famous vehicles. I have more, but im going to save it for a continuation post.
Im going to knock out like a bear in the woods. Hopefully some of you all find this cool. Keep up the posts, and the hustle.
Duck Out.
