Hard figures to find...

[raphael90]

I'm sure it was because I started collecting in 1991, alot of the figures that were hard for me to find were obviously not in big production by Playmates.
I wonder if my dad ever got sick of pawing through the shelves for me :lol:

These ones were usually pretty hard to find or I never found but once:

SHREDDER
CASEY JONES
WINGNUT AND SCREWLOOSE
GENGHIS FROG
SLICE AND DICE SHREDDER

I never even saw these once in the store that I can remember:

LEATHERHEAD
CREEPY CRAWLING SPLINTER

[Bebop]

I have all of these, except for maybe slice and dice Shredder

[Jephael]

I've always wanted to get Toon Shredder since it was basically the original figure colored differently. I can't even remember though if I ever saw it.

[Chewie]

I got Slice`N`Dice Shredder,

but I`m missing some other cool Figures, for example the Toon Shredder

Hard to find in Germany is every Figure. Here are nearly zero Turtles Collectors. If u got much luck u can find a few bei Ebay.de

Everything else is hard work to find......... :wink:

[Wingnut]

I have every fig ever made,i have two of every fig,one in the package and one to play with.BTW i hade a hell of a time finding slice 'n' dice shredder

[tmntpower2003]

So I'm assuming you're a big fan of the action figures? I'm very devoted to the line, and so am determined to collecting as close a complete collection as possible. It's always nice to find fellow collectors. :D Collecting every different figure isn't too difficult but have you tried collecting all the versions? Now there's a challange! :) There are so many versions out there and the list is always growing. If it interest you to know how many variations I've found so far check out my page:

http://home.earthlink.net/~leosgal/TMNTAlphaList/AlphaList.html

To date I've collected around 3/4th's or so of what's listed. My figure collection is greater though since I too collect multiples. I also collect the Japanese figures and even Bootlegs. Do you collect these as well?

I found the Wacky Action series to be one of the easiest series to collect. They over stocked those in my area. The Marble Shooters series was the one line they didn't have many of. I was only able to find around 7 of them. I was able to aquire all 4 TMNT but those were really scarce here.

I started collecting in 88, and bought nearly every figure up until about 1992 when I completely lost interest in them. But I remember the Turtles themselves being the hardest to find at first, I recall Toys R Us just having footsoldiers all of the time. I also remember Mutagen Man was tough to find, and he still is. :kgrin:

[Wingnut]

Well im not selling any of my figures,period. Im currently working on collecting all the versions (im about done) and TMNT Gal im very impressed

[PWDESAI]

i gots em all, wanna know hard ones to find, the undercover turtles, not the ones that were like samurai leo and stuff i'm talking a bout the trenchcoat series that barely anyone knows about. THey had cloth trenchcoats and were called undercover turtles. I think they were just retools of the toon turtle raph.

[tekcop]

THey had cloth trenchcoats and were called undercover turtles.
I have an undercover Don but his trenchcoat is made of plastic.

[Wingnut]

I have those

@ All

I heard from Raphael90 in this Post Wingnut & Screwloose are hard to find?

This Guy, right?

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/toys/1990/wingnut.jpg

Is he only MOC hard to find, or loose, too. I bought some Turtles from Ebay last Week, and today i opened the Package and Wingnut was one of them. And belive it or not, another Slice and Dice Shredder was in it, too.

Lucky me.... :lol:

[raphael90]

Yep, that's him. I didn't find him in the stores until about the spring of '92.
I grabbed him and the parents bought him for me. Weirdest figure I had though, never played with him much. Sold him off with all the rest of the figures I had...*stupid*stupid* :sick:

Afraid I can't tell you how much Wingnut is worth now...haven't kept up with that. I imagine he's worth maybe $10 to $15...?

Now just because the ones I named didn't turn up very often at my local store, doesn't mean that they were hard for other people to find. It seemed alot of the figures from 1988 - 1989 were harder to get because the stores stocked the more recent ones sometimes from 1991 - 1992.

[Donatello02]

hey wingnut, are your carded figures have the holes punched?

[azure turtle]

Hmm... I think one of the rarest TMNT action figures is Scratch, the cat convict. He's worth around $200 MOC.

[raphael90]

Man...I've seen Scratch priced at $500 for just the toy, no weapons. Ack!
No way I'm paying that!

[Chewie]

Yeah, i wouldn`t do it, too.

I mean, we`re talking about toys at least. But otherwiese, we can be lucky that we don`t must pay prices, as Star Wars Collectors are forced to :lol:

Turtles are much cheaper :wink:

[Wingnut]

SWEET Scratch is worth 200$ MOC :o :o :o I have him!

[raphael90]

Cool. I imagine if I'd still collected at the time he came out and not sold any of them, I'd probably have him.

And I probably would have sold him by now for the money :D

The figure alone without any weapons is worth about $40 I think....

[Snailman]

Hmm... I think one of the rarest TMNT action figures is Scratch, the cat convict. He's worth around $200 MOC.

Yeah, he is kinda the "Offical" rarest TMNT figure. Apparently he was made in low quantaties & in the last "normal" wave of figures. Basically, being a villian & coming out in the last assortment kinda screwed him from the get-go. Robotic Rocksteady & Bebop were released along with him, but they are much easier to locate I hear.

I had the oppertunity to bid on Scratch on eBay once, a few years back. MOC- $9.99. I bid on him & had the winning bid I think, but someone else beat me too it for like 50 cents more. If I had only had the time to react, it would have been mine. *sobs*

I lost Scratch MOC by a measly 50 cents. I am STILL kicking myself today. :(

[raphael90]

Ack! How cruel...you have my sympathies! :goofygri:

[PWDESAI]

[PWDESAI]

actually the rarest is shogun triceraton, then scratch, then shoate, then hotspot. The rest are all easy to find, u just need to look at the right time on ebay.
Although now is not the best time to buy, the best time would have been last year when a tmnt continuation wasn't planned and the figure wen't for a $1 moc

[Wingnut]

yes shogun tirceraton was a BEEEAAYYYTTTTTCCCHHHH to find! :dead:

[That Matt Guy]

yes shogun tirceraton was a BEEEAAYYYTTTTTCCCHHHH to find! :dead:

[Wingnut]
