Also, I have an update to my #1 pose collection.

row 1: #1 1st printing CGC 8.5, #1 2nd printing, #1 3rd printing signed by Laird, #1 6th printing softcover, TMNT #1 pose iron-on

Also I think I've posted them somewhere here before, but here are my Matt Slay commissions for the Leonardo Micro-Series:

Dang! I love those art pieces

[MrPliggins]

I added these to the "new piece of art" thread, so I thought I'd add them here too. A couple of sketches drawn for me by Stan Sakai at '95 and '96 Mid-Ohio Con. Drawn on comic book backing boards.

:: Signed prints update :: After seeing this post, our very own Plasticplayhouse PMed me, offering to get 2 of my remaining prints signed at this past weekend's event in MA. What a cool dude. I received them back in the mail today, sweeeeet! 20 years after most of the crew signed them for me, Eastman and Mark Martin have now added to the bunch.

[Plasticplayhouse]

My pleasure man, glad I could help! They look great. I like how Kevin used a copper color marker to sign his.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Nice pieces bro

[MrPliggins]

Some new additions to the collection:

[The Fifth Turtle]

Nice adds! How many does this bring your #1 cover count to?

[MrPliggins]

Thanks. 16. I also picked up a non-polybagged version of the video game reprint, just so I could thumb through it. I didn't know they used the non-toned version of #1 from the PBBZ printing...

[MrPliggins]

Time to bump this thread with some new acquisitions!

TMNT v1 #16 was the first Mirage TMNT comic I ever read, and first TMNT comic that I read period. I bought it at Hills Department Store, which at the time had hundreds of copies of only this issue in the toy section. I used this issue to help me learn how to draw Turtles. I read it over and over until the cover was almost falling off. So the issue holds lots of nostalgia value for me. When I saw that some pages from the issue were for sale, I had to jump on a few.

Page 2 original art:


Page 3 original art:


Page 15 STAT (high quality art reproduction). I had to get this because of the classic TMNT #1 throwback:


also, issue 23 title page OA:


Inspired by my buddy The Fifth Turtle, I was inclined to pick up these first season TMNT cels, both from "Shredder and Splintered":

[OA]

Man, the OT is making a splash lately. Some more season 1 cels out of the woodwork. Congrats!

[The Fifth Turtle]

I know I already told you this via txt but congrats on all of your new additions. Beautiful beautiful pieces. Now get em signed :p

[TheCanadiandrome]

grats on those recent puchases

[Kujakoo]

Congrats on the new additions! Thanks for sharing!

[MrPliggins]

Thanks guys. One more to add from that episode. Donatello programming the Technodrome to suck itself into Dimension X.
btw, all of these have incorrect reproduction backgrounds unfortunately..
