Wanted: Props from the TMNT Movies

[NinjaRap]

Hey folks,

First-time poster. I know it's probably a long shot, but I wanted to know if anyone had props from any of the movies for sale. I have some pre-production Ghostbusters props and a prop from that awful Super Mario movie, but can't seem to find any TMNT props anywhere online. I'll make serious offers. Please contact me!

Turtle power,

Mike :kgrin:

ive been looking for a while too. the ones i have are production used TGRI canisters and a replica one i got not too long ago. they are hard to come by. cheers.

Hahaha thats great that you've got a super mario prop, what is it?

[NinjaRap]

agliarept: Yeah, you said it. I'm jealous of your canisters. If only I was around when a user on here by the name of d_osborn was selling his extras; I'd plunk down some serious cash for one of those right about now. I messaged him recently but he never got back to me. I guess they're all sold by now.

Aside from the handful of movie heads of dubious origin that show up from time to time on eBay, 2008 is the last time I've seen any TMNT prop up at a major auction house:

And even then, that costume didn't look right to me.

Powder: It's actually a pre-production prop--a hand-painted maquette (an 8" statue) of a goomba which was made to develop the full-size costume. His shiny, little goomba head has a shiny, little goomba grin on it, and he's got one of his paws stylishly gripping the belt around his trench coat like a runway model. God, those things were ugly as hell in that movie.

That 'costume' is very shady... I don't know that it was legitimate...

As for your SMB prop, that sounds neat! Those goombas were somethin' else alright.

I don't see why so many people find it flawed. You have to take it as a seperate franchise to appreciate it (if you know what I mean). If the game hadn't existed & that movie came out people woulda loved it... but instead they expected a clone of the games & hated that it actually took creative liberties of its own to make a neato animitronic/costume/cheese flick. At least we dig it!

[agliarept]

yea i loved that film too. its totally great and still holds up, at least for me anyways. i dont think i would want to see a literal SMB movie. I think that would be TOO trippy! lol

[BigApple3AM]

Your Mario prop sounds really cool. Post a picture if you can.

I feel the Mario movie was a good Mario movie. If they made it exactly like the video game it would have done even worse. I imagine most of the hatred comes from the characters not looking right and in that sense I can understand, but I thought the Goombas were really cool looking. Bowser/King Koopa just being a regular dude was lame though. I think I'm gonna watch the film tonight. Thanks a lot guys :lol:

Good luck is all I gotta say :). They aren't the easiest prop findings anywhere.

It doesn't help that there are a number devoute collectors out there hunting for them already.

Not to mention this is the site for the TMNT CRAZIES! No one who likes TMNT enough to be on this forum 50% of the day is gonna be willing to part with their props. These are the people who will take a second mortgage just to beat you out.

I thought it was worth a shot after finding out a member had sold his canisters and ninja rap newspaper here. Guess I'll just have to keep my eyes (and wallet) open in the future.

See the attachments for Mr. Goomba.

Haha! That's pretty sweet, dude! I wouldn't mind displaying a piece like that myself. Good score.

Wow..nice purchase! Congrats! I liked that movie!!!

what he said. lol.

[d_osborn]

just out of curiosity, what is your pre-prod GB item?

TMNT props are few and far between in the marketplace. i've found a few over the years... good luck!

i love the mario maquette! such a strange movie. i read an early draft of the script a while back... it was a completely different take. more fantasy... definitely more of an adaptation of the game.

You are ****ing high.

I wish that were true.

I've got tons of Ghostbusters stuff. Original concept sketches of equipment like the slime scooper, the giga meter, etc. by artist Stephen Dane; hand-painted concept artwork of the Statue of Liberty getting drunk and of the Scoleri brothers in their electric chairs; the original storyboards of the courtroom scene from GB2. But the real highlight, which I believe came from the legendary Forrest Ackerman collection, is a test sculpt from a deleted scene when Ray becomes possessed and turns into a demon. One of the GB fansites has a picture:

I am seeking to find one of the movie heads from the 1st or 2 Ninja Turtle movie's preferably Raphael or Donatello but I would except Leonardo as well and condition isnt a big deal I just want it to have the original teeth, eyes, uderskull, and bandanna because I want to have it restored for display. PM me if you have one of the original heads and please no Movie 3 heads or fakes and must see pics before offer submitted.
