Hi Guys,
Once upon a time, yes I, your faithful IBN, was employed by "the man" we all know as Playmates Toys. I spent over 3 years there, doing my damnest to steer TMNT in the direction it needed to go. Alas, I was ultimately defeated after discovering that no matter how hard I worked to improve bad direction, it would always boil down (on both the toy and cartoon end) to "old men making bad decisions." Since, I've moved on to much greener pastures, but there are still a few artifacts from my time there: Like THIS (http://the-5th-turtle.blogspot.com/search?q=ultimate+tmnt) (if you followed the article when comments were still live, you know more than Murph's initial post) and a whole mess of customs I tried to convince upper management and the design team to produce. Those were these:

Literally, they're just sitting on my shelf waiting for a good home and I'd rather they be in the caring hands of someone interested in owning a piece of TMNT history.
For the doubters, Roseangelo knew who I was back then, she can vouch for me.
Bidding for the lot starts at $100 (please reply below if interested).
Note that I'm also running the same thread on Rangerboard, just in case.
Here's the link so you know the bidding's fair:

Now, I've posted my RL email address on Technodrome in the past. I'm more than happy to discuss Turtles and Playmates and all that good stuff in this forum medium but I politely ask that I not be bothered "at home" in case you find it.
Thanks folks! Good luck!
