So hats off to you, sir, who been at the right place at the right time as far as convention attending!

Yeah, back when I attended cons most in the early to mid-'90s, I was around 14-17 years old. There are plenty of good things I passed up, never to find again. I passed up Gobbledygook #1 and 2 for $100 each to buy a regular #2 and 3 (1st printings), something I can get easily today. Also passed up a TMNT #1 first printing for $100 on a few occasions. And, tons of original art. But at 15, those were expensive prices!

I THINK that my reissue #1 was whiter pages too... no tones... I'll have to look at it again.

For the #3, it's only the cover that's different..the interior has all of the correct tones.

I think so judging from your collection thread! I don't have the #1 video game reprint from 2007, The hardcover 6th printing, or the color 2009 error.

I think I'm going to keep them for now, and maybe build up the collection again one day. I recently sold many of my figures to help fund the TMNT #1 1st printing purchase. The Krang is actually in pretty bad shape anyway.

Who are they? The voice actors?

3 of the figures are signed. Raphael is signed by Kevin Eastman. This one was bought this way as I have never met him. The Space Usagi is signed by his creator/artist, Stan Sakai. And Leatherhead is signed by his creator, Ryan Brown.
