Hello all. I am starting to take pictures of my figures, and thought I would throw these out there. I hope you enjoy them. :)

Anyone here have a fancy way of displaying your turtle figures? I have a very small office room, I'm going to display these in. I have over 50 carded figures so I imagine these will take a considerable amount of wall space.

Also, for my loose collection, does anyone know what stands I need and where to ge said stands for turtle figures on the cheap? (I may not be using the proper terminology here... Without sounding completely ridiculous, I need something that fits in the hole on the feet of my turtle figures to keep them from falling over...)

Thanks :)

Be sure to check out my collection!!! :) (link above... somewhere)

There are plastic cases that you can get for carded figures.

Thank you. :) I have more lose figures I need to take pictures of. This might be silly, but I'm thinking of putting a hard copy photo book of my collection together. I have most of my collection in boxes so I hardly get to look at it. I love having it on-line though. It's a nice escape from reality sometimes to look at it haha..

Cheers muh friends!

It's been a while since I have posted here, but I have quite a bit of new turtle toys. My Girlfriend and I are planning to move next year, so I had to put most of it in bins... My girlfriend found these green bins for my turtles lol...

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_HSwqKSEAL0E/TX7ia1LbQ-I/AAAAAAAAEk0/oK82NNM3lBU/s512/IMG_1015.JPG

Also, I remember another thread about these rubbery figures. I may have scored one in a recent purchase. It just doesn't look normal in the blister. I tried my best to capture the figure...

I also recently scored Jim Lee figures, which for some reason, I was very happy to get. I just think they look cool haha... Otherwise, scroll to the bottom of the link below to see the new stuff I got, if you're interested...

I believe I have 44 figures in one of them in addition to the boxed 25th anniversary Party Wagon. I would think it can fit 50-60 figures if that Party Wagon were not in there.

Wow.. Thanks for all the replies! I’ve been keeping my eye out for a turtle trunk for a while now, and lucked into a decent deal for it + a ton of TMNT toys. I might pick-up another one when I get some more TMNT money. The one I have now is a little beat down, but I think it adds character. ;) (That’s my rationale and I’m sticking to it. Haha)

Went out to a place this weekend called Ruth's Chris to celebrate my big 30... This was a somewhat upscale restaurant chain. My girlfriend and I met her brother and sister there for dinner. My GF's brother is from Cleveland Ohio. Both my GF and her brother kindly brought gifts with them, which I opened at this restaurant lol, and instantly noticed how may people were looking at me lol..

I pretty much felt like saying, "That's right you rich bitches, I love the turtles! EAT IT!"

Here's what I scored (The shirt is Doughnutello ha!):

On a side note, I have pre-ordered the upcoming IDW issue 1. I think I'm getting 5 covers? Not sure, but I'll have like 30 of these books cuz the pre-order company would only give me one of the variant covers if I ordered multiples. I'll probably sell off a few of them. I'll show some pics, when I get em for sure. :)

Been a while since I posted new stuff here, but I picked up a few more pieces while I was in Cleveland over the weekend. I normally don't like to post pictures of incomplete figures, but thought maybe someone here might be able to help me complete these. I've been waiting to get my hands on a decent set of the movie star turtles. The price was right so I purchased them. :)

Thanks everyone for the feed back. I greatly appreciate it. I've worked pretty hard on my collection these past few years. Actually, I've been feeling a little stuck until recently. I'll have a lot more photos to show here in the coming weeks. Very excited about it. :)

Hello fellow Dromers. I finally got around to taking more pictures of figures I scored in trades here on the boards. Many of them are incomplete, but I'm still elated to have them. I typically get figures in lots off Craig's List. A good majority of what I find is early 80's-very early 90's. So I miss out on cool figures like Dr. El, Scale Tail, Anthrax and the list goes on. Anyhow, I'm so pleased to have figures as such in my collection. Sure I could purchase them on ebay, but it's not as fun as finding it in a trade or a lot.

Also, I did pick up some of the more modern figures. I didn't watch the show they came from, but I couldn't pass the opportunity to get them in my collection. They are surprisingly heavier than the vintage line. I really dig the Hun figure. Pimp.

Anyhow... Sorry for the book. Enjoy the pictures.

I got a few new items that I thought I would share...

I had to convince the Manager at Target to hook me up. It took a little bit, but she eventually caved in haha... She even gave me the box they came in. :)

I ended up purchasing an extra Shredder, as I planned to get an open set any how. I accidentally purchased Two Michaelangelo figures, and totally forgot to get a Raphael (which was the figure I was actually looking most forward to.). I'm sure I'll get him when the new TMNT gear hits the shelf. :)

Enjoy!

Man... It's been a minute since I have posted anything. I have quite the pile of new stuff. I just haven't had time to take pictures of everything. It never fails that when I go on vacation, cool stuff shows up on Craig's list. It's a rare occasion to see vintage Giant figures on CL, especially with belts or weapons for that matter, so I jumped at the chance to get them. The only crappy part was the seller posted a picture on craig's list that he didn't take. So when I got these guys, they were incredibly dirty. I watched all of Hugo, and part of another movie, and spent 100% of that time cleaning these figures. I was actually quite happy with how they turned out though. I'll leave a pic below for your review. In addition, I have 2 extra giant Raphael figures if anyone is interested.

I haven't had a whole lot of time to take pictures of new stuff that has come in. Needless to say, I was determined this week to get it done. I think I have photographed everything I picked up, and yet I do have a few more items in the mail. Pics of that stuff coming soon. And yes, I did buy some duplicate figures... Maybe I'll trade the dupes off, not sure yet. Hope you enjoy!

Here's another figure I never seem to find in folks collections. Heck, most of the toon collection is rare to find. Most folks seem to have collected through the second or third wave of figures from the 80's-90's and stopped... Or at least that's my observation from the craig's list stuff I pick up. I now have two loose Burne figure's in my collection. Pretty happy about that.

The blanket was a gift. It's hand made. The fabric came from a local hobby shop I'm sure. Like Hobby Lobby or Joann Fabrics.

It is probably the most used item in my turtle collection haha.

great collection man! it's like a tmnt toy museum :)

are these original pieces of art or are they production tests pages?

Thanks man. :). I've admired your work for some time now. When I get some spare money i would love to discuss a commission with you.

Anyhow the pages you found there are indeed test shots. I just happend to be on eBay one night, and lucked into cowabungacarl selling several of them. I think I purchased a majority of what he had.

cool, thanks for the info. thanks for the compliments too. i dont usually take on full commissions (the heavy duty type i usually do), but sometimes i will take on repaints. i also will occasionally sell custom figures on ebay. i have a few of the 80's/90's playmates figures that i will be repainting/retooling that i will sell. wont be for some time though. shoot me a pm when you're ready and we can discuss it more then.

A few new goodies from Japan. Not included in these photos is a bootleg copy of the TMNT sound track. Everything was english, but the spine of the cd.

I also picked up a loose Channel 9 news van, but I haven't had a moment to take a photo of it. It's complete (I think), and uber minty. :)

This came in the mail yesterday...

There were 5 foam-backed posters in this box. Among them were, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Superman, Hoosiers, and of course Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I paid $50.00 for the lot shipped, and i'm told it actually cost more to ship it than $50.00. The box was huge. Steal? Maybe? To be honest, I really don't know.

I ended up picking these up too. They are so crazy cool. I have to say that while the paint applications for the figures as of late haven't been great, these z-line toys make up for the bad paint apps in engineering. Of course, I think a lot of parents will scream trying to put these things together. I watched a 7 minute :teek: instruction video on how to do it, and could only imaging how frustrating it would be for someone that isn't especially patient. I really dig the idea though.

I started collecting IDW books in 2011... I'm new to the comic collecting world, but I've at least picked up a set of one cover for each comic. I was actually in California a day before Kevin's art gallery show in 2011. I just missed it, and was so bummed. I get to meet him for the first time in April, so I'm pretty pumped about that. I'll get him to sign the variant covers I have, or so I hope.

This update is long overdue. I hit the Gem City Comic Con in Dayton last weekend, and had an amazing time. This was my first time at a con, and the only reason I attended was for the opportunity to meet Kevin Eastman. I brought a small army of items for him to sign, which I'll post below. He signed everything I put in his path, which was pretty amazing considering they had to separate the lines out and give folks time cards to see him. I was kindly disappointed they had him shoved into the back corner of the room though. I felt bad for him, but maybe that's the norm? Anyhow, aside from getting his signature, I attended a panel where Kevin talked about the history of the Ninja Turtles, and how the movement evolved. It was fun and especially informative. At the end of his speech, he gave an opportunity for folks to ask questions. I waited until everyone had finished asking their questions, raised my hand, and instead of asking a question I simply thanked the guy. That alone was probably the most rewarding part of the trip for me hands down. I felt I connected with him, and let him know how much I appreciated his hard work, and the fact he came all the way to the mid-west just to talk with us was pretty amazing. He's walking a legend, no doubt about it.

Needless to say, I was glad to have attended this convention. So much that I went both days (Saturday and Sunday). I even purchased a special ticket to meet with Kevin after the show (which was pretty much Kevin in the back of a comic book shop signing stuff for folks). Still, I'll take what ever I can get. I can't express how much I appreciated being able to be face to face with him. Something I will never forget.

So back to the con... While I do have comic books, I never really considered myself a comic collector. My comics are more-so just books that were handed down to me or I traded up to get because I liked the artwork (with exception to the IDW comics that I subscribe to). I have to say that it puts a new spin on getting a comic book when you actually get to meet the artist. I picked up two series from a couple artists I ran into while at this con. I had never heard of either. The first one I came upon was just an amazing artist by the name of Kyle Hotz. Perhaps you've heard of him? Here's what I picked up from Kyle

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uZAKMhEVTLg/U0SiXihBsqI/AAAAAAAAHqY/b_fDVZpi9zE/s912/IMG_0538.JPG

Here's a great Bebop and Rocksteady print I scored from Ren McKinzie.

I also met another great artist named Daniel Leister. He was selling his artwork for $20.00 a sheet. I thought that was pretty stellar considering the amount of detail this dude put in his work. Here's what I picked up from him:

I had the pleasure of meeting Eric Adams who wrote the indie comic book Lackluster World. He was giving the first comic away for free, and the remaining 6 out for $30.00. I purchased the second comic, and read the first two while I was waiting for Kevin's panel. I was literally laughing out loud. Lackluster world is insanely funny, and has a fun-filled story line. I liked it so much that I purchased the rest of the books (it's a mini series). I highly recommend you read it. It was voted best indie comic of 2010. I had Eric sign all the books I purchased, and just finished the last one today. So good. Get it. Do it.

Been a minute. I'm gearing up for a certification and for what ever reason I can't seem to focus on studying, so why not post a collection update.

I have a hodge-podge of turtle merch I've picked up over the last few months. Some of which was especially played with, and others brand new. The items in played with condition are simply hard for me to find locally in Ohio. That's my game though. It's all about the hunt. If at some point I find something of better quality, I'll replace them.

Special thanks to Shogun26 for helping me procure a few items I was in need of.

This is a hooded sweater someone here pointed out. It was intended for someone working on the first movie (I believe). It says something to the effect of "Production Team" on the front.

I plan to start picking up as many voice actor autographs as I can get my hands on. This was a worthy start. $20.00 for Rob Paulsen's autograph, and the proceeds go to a charity. He's so awesome.

Thanks for the feedback and encouragement all. Keeps me going. :)

Another very exciting piece came in the mail yesterday. It's been said here before, but I'll say it again... This is probably one of the most significant pieces of turtle history. This is the book that Kevin Eastman found on the floor of a bus in the 80's. It contains illustrations by Peter Laird. If Kevin had not found this book, he would have never connected with Peter. You can imagine how the rest of that story would have played out... Well... It wouldn't haha...

That said, every photo I've seen of this book makes it look especially small. I thought for sure I was going to get a 3.5" x 6" book. Instead, and much to my surprise, it is slightly bigger than a standard comic book.

Some history of Scat written by Peter here: Click HERE! (http://plairdblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/blast-from-past-213-scat-logo-designs.html)

Hello fello technodromies... Its been a while since I've posted anything here, thought I'd catch up a bit. There have been lots of small additions to my collection, but thought I'd share some of my favorite, so far....

I ended up going to eBay for these... I would have preferred to purchase them locally, or here, but couldn't find em. So happy to have them though. :)

Found these guys in a lonely craigs list add. Never thought I'd own them for sure...

And here's probably one of my favorite pickups this year so far... I met Jim Lawson at a convention. He was so awesome. This is the first time I've commissioned someone to draw for me. I just asked him to draw a shredder, and this is what he came up with. So bad ass...

I've seen this done somewhere here before, but I loved the idea so-much I've decided to pursue it myself... The first of many. :)

I also, met Judith Hoag. She was an absolute doll. She immediately grabbed my hand, and didn't let go until we finished talking. I had her sign something I purchased a while ago. The only reason I purchased it was to get her to sign it. haha. So worth the wait. On a side note, she did say the handwriting on the print was hers.

I also caught up with Ernie Reyes Jr. For some reason I was a little nervous talking to the guy, but he's so awesome. He signed an advertisement poster I have from Movie 2. I was happy to see him out. He seemed to be in good spirits, dancing around a little-bit, and enjoying talking to fans.
