Archon_Turtle's Collection Thread

Display Collection Video:

Updated: I've wrapped the pictures of the display collection in spoiler tags to make this first post more manageable. Also, below I have added links to other parts of my collection that are often asked about.

The newest Vanity Shots of the Vintage Toy and Comic Collection. The only thing on display are comics, playmates toys and prototypes from 88-98, and the portfolio of comic art. This will be the display for the interview this weekend. (Normally the Comics aren't out like that)

What happens if you set fire to the Technodrome being as its so close to the stove top?

...then....I suppose...the house would burn down? What a strange question lol. At any rate, I haven't used that stove in years. There isn't even gas running to it at the moment.

I've been in my current apartment since February and I've never even used the stove or oven :lol: Of course, my reason is because I can't cook worth squat.

ooooooo... I was waiting for closeups! Awesome collection! Do you get your figures loose or do you keep the cards or what?

Red Party Cups! YAY!

I'm not picky about carded or loose. I've taken a number of my figs out of their package, especially when I have part of a subset partially out of the package already. I'll take them out of the package to display the whole group together.

[Sarah]

it wouldnt hurt you to clean your collection once in a while. :D you should be particularly concerned about the dust on any of your items with cloth like the undercover turtles. I don't know, maybe it's a girl thing, but Im just picky about dust. :lol:

Most of them are clean. I clean stuff when I move it. The shelves themselves are what seldom get cleaned. So worst cast scenario, they have dusty feet. But yes...you are picky.

Besides...you try finding the motivation to keep over a thousand pieces clean. The kitchen is just a portion of the collection lol :-P

ohhh myy good¡¡¡ jj whaat did ur girlfriends tells u bout all those toys dude?

[Archon_Turtle]

ohhh myy good¡¡¡ jj whaat did ur girlfriends tells u bout all those toys dude?

My girlfriend supports me in everything i do. As any significant other should...I frankly find it appalling how many people here are in relationships in which their ninja turtle passion (or any other passion for that matter) is a source of tension in their relationship... Honestly... if I was with someone who felt that negatively about such a big part of me...I wouldn't be with them for very long.

Something to consider gang.

This is very true dude!! My girl friend doesn't have to LOVE turtles but she is the kind of person who would NEVER suggest I not do something if she knows it is important to me. That is the most important thing, accepting each other the way we are! Mind you we do live in a VERY small place so I try to keep the displayed collection at a respectable minimum. BUT you bet it would all be out if I had a little more room. I don't think I could display it all even if I lived here alone hahaha.

[BoggleKng]

Well said.. Some people collect shoes and clothes... Some people collect Turtles!!

I am waiting for the picture, Archon, of the closet with Turtles spilling out of it?!!!

[Archon_Turtle]

Yes, I have quite a few prototypes. I'll post pics soon.


and where do u get those...i have that toy jeje its kinnda cool pizza face right?

Yes, It is the unreleased version of Pizza Face. And I get them from many different places. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get them from the original artists, and sometimes from ebay.

Additionally, I picked these up today...I have to say I am very impressed!

[Ninjinister]

Hey, those aren't half-bad... no Shredder, though? Don't tell me Playmates is on another "Turtles only" binge....

[Candy Kappa]

think I have seen a pic with a mini shredder in a machine. but it could just be my imagination, they should have a mini foot army of mechas yarr

[Archon_Turtle]

Hey, those aren't half-bad... no Shredder, though? Don't tell me Playmates is on another "Turtles only" binge....

there is a shredder. Target just didnt have him. I dunno if it was released or not.

[Ninjinister]

there is a shredder. Target just didnt have him. I dunno if it was released or not.

That's what I meant. Since you didn't see it, and we have no other reports of anyone else seeing it in stores yet... and with the fact that nobody's seen the allies and villains of the 25th anniversary re-releases yet... I fear Playmates is up to their old tricks still.

I got him today they only had one I'll post photos later.
I think these are very nice.
The only down side was that on the side of the box was an advertisment for the 3rd re-release of the ninja action tmnt figures.
I wish they would keep releasing figures that didn't sell well the last time they brought them out.
But these mini mechs are nice for sure.

Thanks for alleviating my paranoia, Vaughn. Ninja Action? You mean like the ones that do cartwheels and backflips? Why those of all figures? And did you mean you wish they'd quit re-releasing figures instead of keep?

[VaughnMichael]

Sure thing, and yes those are the ones I'm talking about.
They released them in the old line in a window box first, then they re-released them in 1996 on blister cards sans mikey for the 10th anniversary.
then they changed them slightly for the 2k3 ones adding shredder, splinter, and a foot soldier.
Now they plan to bring them out again but only yhe 4 turtles.
You know I was thinking today how lucky those of us who grew up with the classic line are because we got variants of other characters like Bebop & Rocksteady. I'd really like to see atleast one more Hun figure.
Woops! Yes what I mean is I wish they would stop releasing figures that went on clearance the last time they released them which was what like 3 years ago or something lol.
They have so many things from their vast archive of toys they could bring out again but they choose things like that.

[IamtheKnight]

How much were the mini mechs?

Hell yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The old line had all sorts of Splinter, April, Bebop & Rocksteady variants... Hell, even Mondo Gecko had one!

Woops! Yes what I mean is I wish they would stop releasing figures that went on clearance the last time they released them which was what like 3 years ago or something lol.

Archon, in post #8, sixth pic up from the bottom, what are the beefed up turtles beside Jim Lee Raph and Sumo Don?

Also, very nice collection. Now I know about how much space I would be looking at using should I ever want to display my collection! :P

Right now they are all in my closet in toychests and rubbermaid containers. My mom rocks dude, buying me all those toys when I was younger. I was one of those kids that was super picky about letting people play with my stuff (in other words they didn't!) so I am thankful I still have my weapons and other accessories. I even saved the pieces that would chip off, such as a tiny corner on Shoate and one of Rahzar's kneepads didn't want to stay on tight.

The one thing that bugs me is I accidentally broke Sandstorm's waist spring when I was younger amidst a heated battle between him and the foots while on a mission to help out the guys.

The one thing that bugs me is I accidentally broke Sandstorm's waist spring when I was younger amidst a heated battle between him and the foots while on a mission to help out the guys.

He isn't terribly rare or expensive. Particularly if you just want a loose one

Where did you get the set of Undercover Turtles ?
Did you have to open up MOC figures ?
Ive only seen them sold loose a couple times with coats.

I have 3 out of 4 MOC myself. I still need Mike.

Nope.

Yeah I got lucky.

www.myteefinestuff.com has one, if youre willing to pay $110.00 for it.

that giant Splinter is definitely the highlight of your collection. any chance you'd be putting it on ebay? (i know, a long shot, doesnt hurt to ask tho)

btw do you know anything about this:? it looks like it's made from the same company that made the giant bootleg splinter. kinda like a "mini giant splinter"

If you consider the bootleg splinter the highlight of my collection, then you havent looked hard enough :-P

But no, nothing in my collection ever goes on sale unless I have duplicates. Sorry

And yes, that splinter you posted is the regular asize version of the giant splinter from the same series. I've got one. Was there anything in particular you'd like to know about it?

[TurtleManiac]

yea, did they make the turtles as well in that series? if so, were they dressed in those robes like the box art suggests?

[Archon_Turtle]

Yes they did, and yes they were. Those I do NOT have a set of. THey are quite ellusive.

[notebook]

i totally love that pizzaface. he's so retro gross-out, like you cant do that on television or something.

i have a friend who loves the giant figures. he'll get a kick out of yr bootleg splinter. i'll have to keep an eye out for that one. is the mini-sized one about the same size as the official splinter?

[Archon_Turtle]

He is in very played with condition, but if you know me, you'll know that condition isn't a very big issue for me. I actually had to patch a hole in the back of him with super glue, so I doubt very much that he would ever hold water. But I love him all the same. :-)

Nice copy man. That should get a sweet grade if you decide to still get it graded (after your lil tirade and all). REMEMBER though, if you decide to get it signed and graded, try to coordinate with CGC so they can witness it or else it will be downgraded as "writiing" on the cover. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE will they grade it and verify that that sig is legit unless it is witnessed. I'd hate for you to get it signed first, then get a lower grade, then throw another hissy fit. :P

[Archon_Turtle]

$40, which I still think is a good deal...you just got an even BETTER deal. :-)

I mean, as far as print run goes i guess they are rare...3000 copies according to the book...but yeah, they dont seem terribly difficult to come by.

[Spitfire]

Yeah not a bad deal. I get a good deal on some things but there are others I've shelled out more cash then I desired to. Some of the Image issues I had a hell of a time getting. I paid like 15 bucks for one issue alone it was so hard to find. I also paid 500 for all of Mirage volume 1 and some extras. A few months later a better lot popped up on EBay 150 bucks for all of volume 1-3 and Archie. That was a kick in the balls but you win some.

[VaughnMichael]

I got mine for the same price as spitfire @ my local comic shop.

A lot of Aprils I bought. Only two of them are duplicates. The rest are either unique figures or unique packages. I really only bought it for the no stripe that is in there (I didn't have one yet)

[DonatelloFan]

Is that the Archie proof that was on eBay? I was going to bid on it, but since I'm new to comics, I didn't know what the hell it was. Is it an actual drawing by an artist, or a print that they used for the cover?

No, it isn't original art. Proofs are photo copies, but are used in the production of the comic book, so I still find them interesting.

No offense man, but I will never not bid on something I need just because someone else wants me to. Besides, even asking me to do that is a violation of the ebay TOS agreement, let alone just kind of unethical.

[Archon_Turtle]

[BoggleKng]

Had to make room for more stuff in the vitange display this past week. Thought you guys would like to see the result :-)

GobbledyGook 1 and 2 from Kevin

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/JNCOPosterboy/The%20Collection/179_2106.jpg


Picked up a SUPER clean copy of Turtlemania Special #1

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/JNCOPosterboy/The%20Collection/Comics/Other/179_2243.jpg


What are these?
thanks in advance.

[Archon_Turtle]

GobbledyGook 1 and 2 are the first comics that Kevin and Peter ever did together. These pre-date the ninja turtles (there is actually an ad on the back of each of them for TMNT #1). They were self published, photocopied and stapled together by Kevin and Peter by hand. Only 50 copies of each were printed. Largely regarded as the "holy grail" of Turtles collecting (even though the turtles only appear in an ad). They contain the origin story and first appearance of the Fugitoid.

Turtlemania was a promo book made by a Comic shop that Kevin and Peter provided most of the art for. There were 3 editions:

10 copies of the Gold edition (which I have never seen): Signed and Sketched by Kevin and Peter

100 Copies of the Silver Edition: Just signed by Kevin and Peter

3000 Copies of the Standard (or White) Edition

Heres are the Pages of GobbledyGook 1 and 2:

[Archon_Turtle]

Just picked these up off ebay tonight (so the images are from ebay, but will take my own when they get here)

Theres are the dreaded COUNTERFEIT copies of GobbledyGook 1 and 2. They are the infamous yellow cover copies with the poor forging of Kevins signature in them.

Why buy the fakes? I know you're a perfectionist when it comes to completion but these seem unnecessary. Maybe those are more rare than the originals. :lol:

[Archon_Turtle]

Why buy the fakes?

Cause they are awesome! And fake or not, they still hold an important role in the history of the books. That is what my collection is all about man...Historical documentation.


I know you're a perfectionist when it comes to completion but these seem unnecessary.

If I worried about what is and isn't necessary, I wouldn't have a collection at all ;-). Remember, I also have an extensive bootleg toy collection. This is the same deal. I'm fascinated by this kind of stuff.

Maybe those are more rare than the originals. :lol:

Just About. :-)

Yeah, I saw those too.. nice snag.. if you got them for under what he wanted..

Congrats man! If I wasn't so stretched from art purchases I may have made a play on them. Glad you snagged them though. Are you looking for a counter TMNT #1 as well?

Just About. :-)

Good call, I've had urges to buy bootlegs before(figures) but I always hesitate. I guess as far as the "fake" stuff goes I should probably think about what I'm sayin sometimes. I have the customizing hobby, and doing that could be considered bootlegging maybe? Anyway, I'm not complaining, just curious. i totally dig your collection. I peep it just about every time i'm on to see the new things you get. I just had not noticed the bootleg stuff before though. :D

[Candy Kappa]

you have too much cool stuff

[Archon_Turtle]

too much cool stuff

No such thing :-P

[jwiz154]

No such thing :-P

I can vouch for that!! You can never have too much cool stuff!

Thats cool man. Looks nearly identical to the real ones huh.

And to answer your question: negative.

[Canadian Turtle]

One of the few books I do not have.

What other ones don't you have?

Hey Archon what did the guy actually want for the fakes? Was he saying they were the real deal?

[Archon_Turtle]

What other ones don't you have?

Hey Archon what did the guy actually want for the fakes? Was he saying they were the real deal?

No, he was selling them as fakes. He originally wanted 500, I gave him 300.

[Canadian Turtle]

:o........:sick:......:dead: Did you see that! I died at the end! From wow, to sick, to dead....

Those are photocopies!!!!... next time you want a fake, let me know and I'll make one for you, but only charge 200!! hahahaha Sorry dude just wanted to poke some fun! Still a cool buy! I see the point don't worry. See you in a week or so!

One man's trash is another man's treasure sir :-) Besides, these arent just any counterfeits. They're THE counterfeits :-)

And this is why I sold the other two.

You my friend have the greatest collection ever! You have some really unique pieces like that prototype pizzaface and your bootleg giant splinter. A long time ago i was doing a search on yahoo for pictures of people's collections and I saw your photos and thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen, but I couldn't ever find the site where I saw them until I joined this forum a few days ago. Thanks for welcoming me to the community and posting nice comments to me even though my collection is .01% the size of your great accomplishment.

Hey, sorry, didnt see this question till today.

Yes, they are sealed in the cases, that is kind of the point :-)
They grade them and seal them in the cases so the grade cannot be disputed at a later date.

Here is a neat addition to my art collection. This is a pan background from the OT. theyd use these for long continuing shots (like walking down the street). This piece is over 2 feet long.

[Canadian Turtle]

Wow! Good for you bro! Real backgrounds are super hard to find! Cool piece! You should display it with a walking animation cell in it... I have a good one for it, if you ever want to sell that piece.

[ToTheNines]

That's so cool, it's from season 2 isn't it?

[Archon_Turtle]

That's so cool, it's from season 2 isn't it?

I'm actually not really sure. The seller seems to think its from A Thing About Rats, but after watching it...I'm not convinced. It's definately OT turtles though. If anyone CAN posatively ID the piece, let us know!

[ToTheNines]

I want to say it's from one of the "Sarnath Saga" episodes.

[Samhain]

Awesome score dude!

[Archon_Turtle]

I've had most of these for a few weeks, but I haven't gotten a chance to put up pics. All of the books that are signed by Kevin will be cracked, signed by Pete and re-graded at NYCC10 (provided he attends):

Hey! Some of the CGCs look familiar. :P

They look much better in the gold label though. Cool that the grades came back the same. Sometimes, due to the sigs/fingerprints/etc. the grade can actually drop. So congrats! Oh, and your box went out today.

[Samhain]

Great lookin books bro. Man I really need a first print #1!

[Archon_Turtle]

Here is something super cool! I have had a couple loose My First Raph Doll for quite some time, but they've seen better days. I've had to repair both of them to varying degrees, neither of them have their sai's or water funnels. But, since I had never even seen one in the box in all my years of collecting, I jumped at the chance to own one:

Upon recieving the box, I realized that it had never been opened and that the box was in fantastic shape. As such, I've decided to AFA him as soon as I finish paying for...something else...that I hope to be able to show you guys in about a month.

[BoggleKng]

let me guess... you got it from TMNTerminator?

You got some amazing stuff. That Splinter puppet is awesome. Can't wait to see what you got lined up next.

[Archon_Turtle]

So something really interesting sorta fell into my lap today. Earlier today, Danny was kind enough to point out a splinter head from movie 1 and a don head from movie 3 on ebay. I decided not to make a move for the splinter head, as he was totally furless, so even after being restored, he wouldnt be "complete". The don head on the other hand, while in pretty sad shape, upon being restored, WILL be complete. So I saw it as a potentially fun restoration project. The guy ended up being 40 minutes from the house, so heather and I went and got it.

Here is the really interesting part. When I was picking up the head, the gentleman happened to mention that he happened to have ANOTHER movie III Don head. This one however, as you are about to see, is in MUCH worse shape. We made a deal for it on the spot, and I took home with me. I havent decided what Im going to do with this one, i may try to restore it myself, since I can't really **** it up any more.

[DMC362]

good to hear the pics look worse than they appear

[Archon_Turtle]

just a quick update on the heads. I spoke to Tom, and he agreed with me that the second head is too far gone to be economical to repair. Having said that, the first head is well within the condition to be restored. For a total restoration it will cost me about $1500. This would include restoration and resculpting of the missing sections, as well as glass eyes and a shaped fabric bandana. I've decided we are going to go forward with the project after the first of the year. I will keep everyone posted with progress.

[andrewdsz]

1500... ....?!:|

dont u think it is a bit much?

[Jester]

BTW Stephan, how goes the restoration on the Splinter puppet from TMNT 1?

[Archon_Turtle]

1500... ....?!:|

dont u think it is a bit much?

naw that sounds about right.

BTW Stephan, how goes the restoration on the Splinter puppet from TMNT 1?

You know what, the restoration it needed was so minor that i was able to do most of it myself. I basically glued his ear back on and fixed his nose a bit and mounted him into a display case.

[Jester]

Yeah....I did see the picture...after I posted the question.

[Lordmylar06]

Quick thought on those CGC comics. Buddy of mine took a 6.0 of New Mutants #98(first Deadpool) and cracked it open to get Liefeld to sign it. He got it RE-graded and it came back as an 8.0. I'm confused on the grading system there. Hopefully you'll have similar luck with yours. ;)

I also picked up this page from Jim's Paleo:Loner book. I had talked to him about this page at SDCC, and I finally got around ot grabbing it:

ohhh the first one iss sooooo cooool

Here is something I have been waiting for a little over a month to share with everyone.

If you recall, the copy of Gobbledygook #1 that was gifted to me by Kevin was a misprint. 3 images in the book appear twice (to see that book, click here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v247/JNCOPosterboy/The%20Collection/Comics/GobbledyGook%20First%20Print/Issue%201/). The pages that repeat are labeled alpha-numerically.)

While this error possibly makes it the rarest copy out there (as we have yet to find its possible sister book, which would be missing 3 pages), I've still always wanted a copy of the book that did not have the error in it.

Recently, Steve Murphy of Mirage, was able to afford me this opportunity. Steve and I were able to work out an agreement for the purchase of a copy of Gobbledygook #1 which had been signed by Peter, personalized "To Smurph" (one of Steve's nicknames) and given to him in 1989. Steve was kind enough to draft me a letter of authenticity to go with the book.

Here are a few interesting pictures from the book. All of the photos of the book can be found via a link at the bottom of this post.

Here is the letter that Steve wrote for me. I have water marked across his signature for security purposes.

The front cover. This copy is extremely clean, with only one tiny color break at the spine.

I have the chance to buy one of these, how much do you think it's worth loose? What would be a fair price? Any help would be great. You are the turtle man!:)

[Samhain]

HAHA, That thing is awesome! Pretty rare to boot!

Loose? $25-$50 IMO.

Craig "A.C." Farley was kind enough to sign some books for me. I thought you guys would like to see them, as his signature on a book is quite rare because he is no longer in the industry, and does not attend conventions.

So some time ago, the temperature controlled display case that housed my wax sculpts crapped out on me. Since them ive had to store them in a box in the fridge. Lame.

However! Today I went to BevMo and picked up a replacement! I like this one better than the last one because it is wider than it is tall; giving me more usable space.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/JNCOPosterboy/100_3021.jpg

I can crank the temp all the way down to 39 degrees, and the light inside is pretty nice.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/JNCOPosterboy/100_3026.jpg

And there is plenty of door on top for other pieces! :-)

Gnarly. The blue light is a sick touch. Is that Dino shredder?

You know, those things are real collector's items. I wouldn't play with them in the microwave if I were you. I mean... buy some doubles at a flea market or something...

Oh wait...

:D

[Thanks for introducing me to fascinating technology.]

[Archon_Turtle]

Gnarly. The blue light is a sick touch. Is that Dino shredder?

Yeah that is Tyrano-Shredder.

From left to right in the case is:
Hot Spot (the the head of robotic Bebop at his feet)
The maskless head of Casey Jones (Unreleased)
Casey Jones
Tyrano-Shredder and the front end of the Sewer Sub in front of him

All of the above are the original Wax Sculpts.

On top of the case are Resin Prototypes (those that are painted are hand painted by the sculptor):
Scratch and Jail Bird
The unreleased version of Pizza Face
Wingnut and Screwloose
Walkabout and Kid Kangie

those are some of the most awesome pieces I've ever seen before. I wish I had all of them. Those prototypes are way too cool.

Thus, why he has enough money to buy all of this crap. :P

Thus you infer that Archon was drinking his entire salary?

[OA]

Thus, i was joking with him. :|

That said, he has told me in private before (and pubically, on these very boards, which is why I feel comfortable saying the following) that his drinking was an expensive habit. Could he keep both habits up, on the level he was accustomed to, on his salary? I have no clue, nor is it my business. But I would imagine giving up ANY habit (drinking, smoking, fried chicken, etc. ) that drains your wallet would free up SOME cash to fund your other habit.

Now if Steph could just quit paying for porn he'd be good to go!
