Japanese TMNT

*tmntman* · 11-21-2019, 10:10 PM

Having recently gotten the Japanese release Mini Turtles Super Trailer, I decided it was time to add all of the Japanese release items to my web site. Super Trailer Listing

I also added listings for the Japanese Exclusive Mini Mutants sets. But I had a question. Does anyone know what sets 4 and 5 are/include?

Hi, thanks for all your work.
I've done some searching and it seems like the mutant module set is set number 5..... as seen on the back of the card

Some things to note.
ミニタートルズセット<number> reads as "Mini Turtles set <number>"
and
ミニタートルマシン reads as "Mini Turtle Machine"
so i am not sure if sets 1 to 3 is from the same series as set 4 to 7.

I've also taken a look at your list and doesn't seem like you have these.

Actually, all the turtle bases are missing

These are so dope. I would love to own some of these, but they're insanely expensive.

Even the regular mini-mutants are so expensive.

So you already know the bebop technodrome set is mini turtle machine 3....
But i also found this which is interesting but i couldn't find a pic of the back of the card.

Makes sense, the lot of Minis I purchased last included the two metallized sets, the trailer, the larger Super Turtles set and the set with Bebop, the scooter and Technodrome. So that's probably one of them as well.

This is part of why I have not gotten into adding the Japanese releases to the list, I just never had a solid reference for what was released that was exclusive to Japan vs what just got released in both areas. I do have a few of those items as well. But if they already had a listing on the site for their US release such as with the Metal Mutants and Mutant Master figures, I just added the packaging image under those listings. So I may need to go back and pull the Transport sets from the same section as the four Japanese only figure sets. But you're right. The only Mini Mutant playset I have in foreign packaging is the Raphael Turtle in a Turtle set

After the amount of money I dropped to finally get the Pizza Police transport set and the Firefightin' Frenzy set, these don't seem so bad. Plus this is the last Mini Mutant item that I didn't have.

The US did get a dozen different Mini-Mutant Turtle Transports sets, some of those were also released in Japan. But Japan also received a few exclusive sets including two sets of Super Turtles (Supermutants in the US) with the Cyclone Cycle, a set of army Turtles with a mini version of Private Porknose Bebop, Krang and the Turtle Tank (all of which were available in other sets in the US) and a set of 8 different Leonardo variants. So it can get confusing.

tmntman, a quick reporting: in the 2019 Releases section of your webpage, "35 Years of TMNT Original Comic Book Series 4 Pack " has a broken link.

Yes.
There aren't that many new Japanese tmnt stuff so i usually get old stuff from auction sites like yahoo auction.

If anyone is interested in some of the Japanese releases, I scanned and uploaded the documents (including the promotional flyers) from the Super Trailer and Turtle Saint this weekend.
