Pop-up Mutant Displays...Pics??
 

Hey guys...I know we've discussed this before but I was wondering, are there any pics out there showing what all of (or any of) the mutant displays look like out of package? I know most of us keep them in package but somebody has to have taken at least a few of these guys out...Again, there might be an old post about this that has pics but I couldnt find it. Thanx!

which sorta thing are you talking about?? The toys outside of the package? If so, i found this pic on the comp with my Donatello Turtle Troll (i had an extra, hence why i opened it)

edit: sorry, but this camera is the only one i have that has the ability to hook up onto the comp.
Poor quality and bad angle, i took it myself so you can see why it sucks. :(

No, there are some specific figures that came with something called a "Pop-up Mutant Display" back in '88-'89. They're generally pretty rare and must people who get them keep them sealed in package. I was looking for anybody who has taken some out of package for display. Thnx though...:)

The guy at Myteefinestuff.com has a Metalhead one out of the box. I didn't know if I should swipe his pic though, didn't wanna get in trouble.

Yea, I've seen that one...been up there for a long while...never have seen any others though...

I've seen several. I think I still have some of the photos. I'll check my cds.

I don't think myteefine would mind. The owner seems like a great guy. I bought my moc pop-up Metalhead from him. I've credited his site and put a link to the item's sale page below the picture. Here's Metalhead:

Cool...yea thats what Im looking for, I'd like to see them all if possible...but thats definately cool to see...

Alright kinda old thread, but I got these in a lot on ebay and figured I'd share. And no I did not open them myself....I'm not crazy :D

In case you can't see read them...
Donatello comes w/ Krang
Raphael comes w/ Shredder
Michaelangelo comes w/ Rocksteady
Leonardo comes w/ Foot Soldier
Splinter comes w/ Bebop

That is really cool. I have seen them time to time on ebay but I haven't seen a lot of these. Are you trying to collect all opened pop-up displays? That would be a different collection but also a very difficult one to finish. Very nice, man.

Thanks Raphsation for taking the time to post that picture!!!!!! Getting to see those made my day!!!!

I didn't buy them to collect all the pop-ups although that would be cool. They were just a really good deal (I paid like a buck+shipping for them and a bunch of other stuff). Glad to help NoPress, by the way your post on that "out of the 4 turtles" thread had me rollin' :rolling:

Here is General Traag's pop-up display
 

Due to a mangled package and bubble here is a picture of the pop-up mutant display stand that General Traag comes with. It reads:

General Traag's sneak attack on Raphael at Shredder's secret hide-out is about to become an over the shoulder boulder blasting battle. Will Traag give Raphael a shell smashing shock or will Raphael crack him up into groveling gravel?

Aww, man. Mangled package? Sorry to hear NoPress. Did it happen in the mail? I do love to see the pop-ups though. That's a nice one.

I don't think that it happened in the mail because the box that it was shipped in was in fine condition. It was just one of those pictures on Ebay that I couldn't really tell about so I took a chance.:(

Here is Casey Jones pop-up display
 

You can see a drawing of Casey's Display on the bottom of each pop-up but here's the real deal. Casey's pop-up reads:

Casey Jones sure gave this stinky pair a bad case of athletes foot. He likes to get his vigilante point across by slam dunking evil Mutants into his golf bag. But, could there be more Foot Soldiers lurking out-of-bounds, waiting for a chance to even the score?

I would love a set of open figures with Pop up Displays.
I just cant pay $20-50 a figure just to open it and lose all of its value.
You couldent sell a loose one for more then $10.
Right now I have Casey, Donatello, Raphael opened out of poor cardbacks.
I would love a chance to have those loose displays for $1 plus shipping.

Baxter Stockman and Rat King pop-up Displays

Rat King:

Woo hoo! 10 of the 17 pop-up figures are now pictured in this thread!

Very cool!

Getting closer to seeing the entire set! Thanks for posting

I thought that I would bump my favorite thread with a closer look at Leonardo's Pop-Up Display. The pop-up reads:

Leonardo must stomp the Foot Soldier and stop him from stealing toxic chemicals for Shredder's new secret weapon. It'll be shell to pay as Leonardo squashes Shredder's devious plot to dominate the world and its sewers. But, could this be a turtle tenderizing trap, with Leatherhead and his jaws of doom lurking nearby?

Damn, you know, Playmates could have had something on their hands if they would have reissued these for the 25th anniversary figures. Lazy turds.

Here is Bebop's Pop-up Display. I think it's the coolest one so far. It reads:

Hamhead Bebop is trying to sneak into April's apartment through a secret rooftop vent. But to Bebop's surprise, Raphael "drops in" from the Turtle Blimp for a little mutant to mutant may-hem. Can Raphael pulverize the punk rock porker and save April from a terrible fate?

Please, upload more pop up display pictures!!!!

I second that notion. If anyone has saved pictures of these pop-up displays, I'd very much appreciate seeing them.

It appears as if every photo is gone. I have three loose, Baxter, Casey, and usagi that I will post later

Sweet, man! I appreciate it!

Hopefully some other fans will be able to supply scans/photos of the others.

That sounds really kinky... :tconfuse:

Amazing totally new for me thanks for charing... always learning.

Someone have it MOC?

Check out this tmnt toy commercial: At 0:20 features all
the 1989 edition figures with their respective pop-up display.

Take a good look, I think that Ace Duck came with a pop-up display featuring
Krang´s Android Body.

It might be the only one pop-up display that wasn´t representing an already made figure (Remember that Krang´s Body came first time ever in large size in 1991 and then in normal size in 1994).

Nice find! Can someone post the transcript from this pop-up?

We only need a photos of the Pop-up display that came with Shredder, Leatherhead and Rocksteady

I didnt even know that these existed, they are totally awesome, man I love these! I wish I had the entire set, but gee dosent it upset you how massive the toy line is to begin with and then they have to tourcher us collectors even more by issuing like 20 different variants of the same character, be it packaging, or slight differentces in colors, weapons, info sheets etc etc etc... its just so overwhealming to be honest!
