What a strange coincidence I came upon this thread. I recently picked up a Genghis frog, and a few other figures. In the mix of them was Genghis's card board pop-up. I had never seen one before so I was happy to get it. I see we have pictures of it here, but maybe I'll shoot a few for for fun.

Cool! I have seen the picture, but I can't make out the text. Could you transcribe it for us? Also, more pictures are always appreciated!

Here they are

Genghis Frog
Secret Spec: Super cool under pier pressure

Genghis Frog is going to have to boogie to save
April from being munched by a rat-breathed
Mouser, but he's too cool a dude to let a rude
robot trash the place. It'll be a totally tubular
tangle as Genghis takes this rat trap apart. But
since Mousers rarely travel alone, shouldn't April
call the Turtles for help?

These are so freaking cool! I never had these as a child, id like to get them now but once a saw the price on these on myteefinestuff I had 2nd thoughts! There just to dang high, I mean Splinter on there is $85.00!!! Now I know it is mytee and he is high on some things but I also saw a Shredder with the display on Ebay not long ago and they wanted $100.00 before shipping for him. There really cool but just out of this guys price range.

Leatherhead comes with a pop-up display of Mike, I am not sure.

Check out this 1989 tmnt toy commercial at 0:20 you have 10 of the 17 figures that came with the pop-up, each one with his own display shown.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdJqC...eature=related

Anyone knows with which character come Shredder and Rocksteady with pop-up display?

I'm 100% positive they never did. Same with Krang. People like to claim they swear they've seen these, but sadly they were never released.

I've never seen Foot Soldier, April, or Krang either. I've heard claims they exist, but I've never even seen pictures of them.

So THAT'S what the pop-up display's are. I always wondered what they actually were, because the only ones I've ever seen are unopened cards on eBay. So it's basically a scene included with the figure.
