I would love a book that covered everything and anything you could possibly find. Clothing, bootlegs, food tie-ins, prototypes, dollar store merchandise over the years, books, movies, games and so forth. Everything!


edit: forgot Convention Exclusives and mail away/fan club stuff.

It should be more or less limited to just the toys/statues, essentially the same range as what is on tmnttoys.com

hahahaha, now that you mention it...hmm, never payed much attention to the financial goal
I guess telephone book sized hardcovers with lots of full color fotos in it cost a lot these days
...anyway, I backed this project and hope it gets made
love the idea of seeing all the toy art againaaaaaaaaah my childhood

New drinking game, take a shot every time Marcelangelo uses a smiley face in a single post, then die of alchohol poisoning.

The sample pages of TMNT Action Figure Encyclopedia on Kickstarter reminded me of the LEGO Star Wars The Visual Dictionary book. Still, I prefer the TMNT Action Figure Encyclopedia to the World of Springfield Encyclopedia Unofficial Guide that was on Kickstarter last year. As someone who thought the 1988, 1989, and a few of the 1990 Playmates Turtles toys were awesome, I cannot help but think that shellheads deserve better than the TMNT Action Figure Encyclopedia. The Collecting TMNT Action Figures 1988 to 1990 by DaddaRuleKonge is the best there is for now. The e-book for Collecting TMNT Action Figures 1988 to 1990 can be found here: https://daddarulekonge.itch.io/colle...ures-1988-1990

I still can't believe this damn thing isn't out yet and we haven't had any updates since October of last year.

My first time pledging to something on Kickstarter and it had to be THIS.

An all encompassing TMNT merchandise book would also be cool. I'm not sure I would pay for toy specific book when I have a great website like yours for free. But I understand the need to have both types of books as well as physical and virtual resources.

Was really happy to see the news on this. Hope it gets fully funded.

Just found out today that you are writing the foreword to this book if successfully funded. Considering you have some involvement it makes sense why some of the photos resemble the ones from your website. Hope it works out!
