Rare TMNT Comic Book from Brazil!

[Macbee]

Hello!
I'm Marcelo from Brazil and this is my fist post here at Technodrome.

I'm selling the first Brazilian TMNT comic book ever published. I guess this
is the first (and probably only!) time you'll see one of these being offered
to foreign market since it's obsessively seeked by collectors in Brazil.

I'm sure most of you will not be interested because this comic book is
entirely in Portuguese. But if you are a TMNT collector that loves exotique
and truly obscure/rare items I'm sure it will be an unique piece in your
collection.

INFO:
- It features the first 3 issues of TMNT by Eastman and Laird
- All stories in full color
- 120 pages
- Published in 1990 in Brazil
- Published in a paper considered cheap by today's standarts (pages look
yellowish today) but it has all the pages and it's on a pretty good
conservation state.
- Dimensions: 8.1 x 10.8 inches

Cheers from Brazil! Hope to make new friends here!
Feel free to ask anything about this comic book!

Um Brazuca no forum... cara esses americanos não compram isso por esse preço, mas espero que vc consiga.

Hello fellow Brazilian, welcome hope you can sell it, don´t forget to post in the introductions section.
Can you show us some inside pages.

The sentence in Portuguese from user Ulisses said something like "These americans would never pay this much for it" as if I'm trying to fool anyone here.

US$ 50 for a complete 1990 Tartarugas Ninja like this one is a hell of a reasonable price - even in Brazil. If it doesn't sale here I'll offer to Brazilian collectors for the same US$50.

I sell hard-to-find Brazilian items to collectors everywhere - including famous ones like Gi Joe King from Malasya and Action Figure Insider colunist Chip Cataldo from USA.

I'll be able to take more pictures of this comic book and its pages tomorrow! So check out this same post soon!

I love that colors and the book look in good shape, even with the slightly yellowed margins that give him character. :tthumbsu:

Why are you selling? It´s so unique you should keep it. I would never sell it.

I would buy it, but I´m spending all my budget now in MOTUC so... if you don´t sell it until MOTUC end I will give it a try.

[Macbee]

Thanks!

The yellowish pages are result of a terrible choice of the publisher ("Sampa" - it doesn't even exist anymore). They printed "Tartarugas Ninjas" like a newspaper, with the same cheap paper. I don't know if someday I'll see a near mint edition since all the few other copies I see in my life also became yellowish.

I have a giant collection of comics and toys from late 70s, 80s and early 90s - but it takes time, space and money to keep it preserved - so I'm slowly starting to sell my items. Sometimes it's really hard to let them go but I guess it's necessary right now.

I don't blame you for buying MUTC - I may go to hell for this but they're even cooler than the original He-Man toys =D
And since you understand Portuguese and also is a He-Man fan I'll post a video I created -- with Skeletor as a contestant in Show do Milhao (Brazilian "Who wants to be a Millionaire"):

You will go to hell... definitely...jk:D I think they are both great, MOTUC is just MOTU done with today techniques...

In he-man.org we have a big thread about vintage MOTU vs MOTUC.

Well that place is on fire, but 200X vs vintage is even worse...

Your video is very funny.

Who sculpted Sílvio Santos hair?:D

I have that same comics but in spanish, it was piblished in spain, thanks god the quality of the pages are great.

The buyer of 'Tartarugas Ninja' will get FOR FREE a 1990 magazine with the only review of the Brazilian edition ever published:

I love that Laird art on that mag!

[Macbee]

I'll add a second free gift to the buyer of 'Tartarugas Ninja': Seven stickers from the Brazilian TMNT sticker album (1989):

You'll get the first appearance of TMNT in full color + the only published review of it + seven stickers from the 1980s in excellent condition.
This is the first - and probably the last - time you'll see so many unusual items from Brazil for US$ 50 + shipping.

Cheers!
