Welome to My Nightmare!
 

Hi Everybody!!

I've been here at the site for a few months now. Some of you that I've talked to were interested in seeing what over 2 1/2 decades of toy collecting can do to a home. I prefer to think of my collection as organized chaos, but I'm sure some of you will think it's a nightmare. I collect many different toy lines, but am partial to TMNT, Megos and Superheros. Most of my collection is MOC/MIB, but there are many loose pieces as well.For those of you that have already seen it, thanks for understanding. For those who haven't, I hope you enjoy the trip. Welcome to the basement of my home and know that I couldn't do this without a very understanding wife.

A few of you have asked for a better picture of my image icon. This is one of a few full cases that I own.

These pictures give you an idea of what the whole basement looks like!

Hopefully you've enjoyed looking at "My Nightmare". And feel free to let the bashing begin!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

I won't lie. I might have to beat you up and steal a couple 'o your things.

Wow you got a lot of toys!!

Congra!

I don't think I could ever bring myself to do that many toy lines. I'm happy with my one :-)

It is a beautiful sight though man.

HOLY *BLEEP* BATMAN! damn dude. that's quite impressive

i like your megos check out www.megomuseum.com :D and join the forums

I'm not gonna lie...It is totally cool that some of you are so passionate about Mego...but....some of those dolls creep me right the **** out!

AAAAWWWWWWW Come on......... Megos are great. The way all you youngsters feel about the TMNT, that's how I remember Megos. I was a kid in the 70's and they were one of the big toylines. That is the only toy line I collect loose. Takes me back to when I was a kid in grammer school. I gotta know which one creeps you out.

Jerry

I think they are just too close to dolls for me. My grandmother was a china doll collector (like I collect turtles). When we would go to visit, I had to sleep in "the doll room". It traumatized me.

Come say it with me....... Action Figures.......

wow looks like a store I went to once It was very hard to find anything:)

awesome collection. congrats.

Christ that collection is amasing!!!!!! You have some cracking stuff.:D

that's an awesome collection

I think I see a Supergirl mego there... I may have to kill you and take it.

Lol... I had to sleep in the Cabbage Patch room at my grandmas... that was scary...

Awesome collection jwiz! Kinda looks like my basement, minus all the cool stuff.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I know it can be alittle overwelming. Now you know why I've been trying to get rid of some extra stuff. If anyone wants better pics of something, just let me know and I'll do my best as time permits.

Someone wanted to see a better shot of the Japan Mini-Mutant sets. Heres the best I can do until I clear out this case to change the display

Thanks again

Jerry

Give to daddy.

Nice! I have the top one of the two sets. Hadn't seen another one til now :)

And all four Undercover turtles... I just need Leo and Mike...

Good-gravy-boat-Marie! Awesome collection. I really dig the glass display shelving too. Good stuff.

Thanks,

The glass display cases with the wood bottoms are from the old Warner Brothers Studio Stores. I bought those when they went out of business in '97-'98. The backs are all locking drawers. The tall glass cabinets (with the four TMNT statues) are 6feet tall and came from a card store that went out of business in my town.

While I was digging in some boxes I have, I came across this model that I forgot I had. I don't remember many TMNT models over the years. This model is still sealed in the plastic wrap, it comes with Leo's katana and Don's bo. It also comes with what every ninja needs..... his very own robot.

I don't know if anyone has ever seen this before and I really don't know much about it. A friend bought it for me at a toy convention many years ago.

Jerry

I've never seen that and that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
Thanks for sharing, and great collection by the way.

Awesome shot! Could you show some pics of the back of the boxes? I've heard they have some nice art on the back of them.

that mini-mutant picture you have. you have a bebop and don toys to the right? what don is that? i can't figure it out?

its a bootleg.

Actually, they're NOT bootlegs...... They are little PVC figures and were made in Germany by a company named BULLY. These figures are all licensed and all have the 1988 Mirage Studios trademark embossed on them. Bully is famous for making these PVCs of many different characters, including cartoon characters, DC and Marvel Superheros and even movie figures.

If you look at the first picture in this thread, you should be able to see that I have all four turtles, Splinter, Bebop and all four turtles from the first Mutant Military set. Each figure is about 3 inches and is non posable.

Jerry

Well I stand corrected! I'm surprised they're officially licensed! Learn something new every day!

whoops i did not see the posts above mine

Sorry it took awhile, but here are the pictures you and a few others were asking about of the Japan Mini-Mutants.

Here are some better pictures of the PVC figures made by BULLY. Both pictures have a small "Toddler Leo" in it to show about how tall the figures are.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...uff00009-1.jpg

This picture is also of PVCs by BULLY. All these ones are flatter and have magnets in their backs. Yes, mine are on the refrigerator!

I'm going through some more boxes and will have more pictures soon! Hope you all like it!!

Jerry

Great stuff dude, keep it coming:D

Thanks for the upload of those photos of the Japanese Mini-Mutants, man! Very cool looking packaging!

Hi again,

A couple more pictures of stuff some of you might find interesting. First pictures is of two different TMNT sets from Spain. The Halfcourt and Toddler Leo are in picture just to show size comparison. I got both these sets from a toy dealer that bought them on her vacation in the mid-90s. The set next to Halfcourt is just neat because of so many figures in the bag. Each figure, and there's a buch in there, is about 1 inch tall. This set is not licensed. The second set, next to Toddler Leo is offically licensed by Mirage. Each of these PVCs are almost 3 inches tall. Has anyone ever seen either of these sets before?

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...uff00008-1.jpg

I know alot of you on the site like all the different Bootleleg/Knockoff figures. Here is set with colored cloth robes. These I might post on the Trade/Sell thread if there is any interest.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...uff00001-1.jpg

Hope you all like the added pictures!!

Jerry

Dang Jerry you have a mind boggling collections! My brain is on overload :lol:

Great collection bro. Lotta neat stuff! love that pinball!!

Hi again everybody. I was going through some boxes and came across something some bootleg/knockoff fans may find interesting.

First of all, many of you know about the Bootleg Giant Splinter. Some of you may know that there is also a Bootleg set of all four turtles. Each Turtle and Splinter ia about 9 inches tall. This picture has a Coil Force Leo in front for size comparison. Also, the Playmates Giant Bebop and Rocksteady are shown. The turtles and Splinter are about 4 inches shorter.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...nockoffset.jpg

Here's the part I wanted to show everyone. The Bootleg turtles had two different boxes that they came in. One was a window box and the second was a solid box. Just thought some of the variation hunters and bootleg fans would like to see the differences.

The sides of the boxes are the same, so I only took one picture. Each of the solid boxes actually has a small colored dot on the top flap. That way you knew which turtle was in which box. Orange dot meant Mike was in the box, Blue dot...... Hope you all like the pictures!!!

Jerry

All I can say is WOW!!

What an amazing collection! It must be hell to keep the dust of it all. :lol:

OMG!!! Killer collection you got there!!!:o

Hey gang!

First of all, THANKS to all that have enjoyed looking at my collection pictures. Haven't added any new ones lately. But this weekend that just passed, It was like Christmas. I've been trying to straighten up a bit and get rid of some of the clutter. Plus, I'm also selling at a friends toy show next month and was looking for non-TMNT stuff to get rid of. I came across a box in the basement that I forgot all about!! The following pictures are of what I found in the box stored away for safe keeping.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...extra00011.jpg

Scratch, Shogun Triceraton and HotSpot all on very nice cards.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...extra00009.jpg

Shoate, Undercover Mike, Super Mutant Splinter and Shredder. This Shredder is one of my favorite figures in the entire TMNT line!

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...extra00005.jpg

Super Mutant Bebop and Rocksteady and Japanese Exclusive Saint Turtle and Dark Devil Shredder.

http://i718.photobucket.com/albums/w...extra00004.jpg

The best things in the box were these. Two sets of some of the toughest TMNT figure/sets around.

Not a bad lot at all. I'm sure you can imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found all this stuff inside. I really forgot about this stuff and don't remember packing it away at all. Well, I'm off to dig through some more boxes to see what else I can find!
