Vintage Classic TMNT Chinese Cards

Brockon21 · 03-23-2018, 05:28 PM

I came across and obtained a vintage Classic TMNT Chinese card set that hasn’t been cut yet. I’ve never seen a set like this.

Anyone know more background information about it?

Would anyone be able to translate the Mandarin text for me?

The pics can be found following this link:

Thank you for any information you might have to help!

Ha! Yeah, they totally do! And were they colored with crayons? And it almost seems like there is some color bleeding...but I’m no artist who would confidently know something like that.

Thanks for sharing! I've seen a number of Chinese vintage TMNT stuff online over the years, and I do own a few of the exclusive comics. Most of the stuff isn't very good artistically and so much of it even makes me wonder if it was bootlegged. There are a TON of Chinese Turtles books and other things floating around out there. I'm not sure I'll ever see a complete catalog of everything being passed off as TMNT over there.

It's probably intentional. A lot of older, especially eastern, art is like that.

Thank you for the info! Very interesting! It’s actually my first set from China, so this is news to me!

. It’s be really cool if someone could help me by translating the Mandarin to English for me so I/we can get know more about it too! Is there a way I could do it? Somehow take a pic with mobile device and it’ll auto-translate to selected language?
