Ask a question, get an answer.
 

So after seeing/ using Rose's thread in the comic section I thought it would be great if we got one like it stickied here in the Toy/Collectible Discussion.

So this is where you can ask any and all of your TMNT toy/ collectible questions. No question is too large, no question is too small. No question too obscure! Someone around here is bound to know the answer.

It can be "How much is this MOC figure worth?" or "How rare is this TMNT shaving kit?" This is your place to ask. So ask away.

Pretty sure we had one of this sometime last year, but maybe not... Either way it's sticky worthy & sure to be of good use.

I'll certainly be able to come up with more questions, but I'm actually kinda curious. How rare are they?

I had one as a kid, and while I'm confident that it's mostly, if not entirely, gone by now, it would be nice to know how possible it would be to dig up an old set for a collection. I honestly can't even find a picture of the one I had. Though it doesn't help that all I really remember about it was the razor, which was white and orange. Only kit I can find a picture of has a green one.

I had one too hence me putting it in the original post. I have never seen one on ebay.....but then again I have never been specifically searching for one.

I have one! its Moc...I saw a few go MOC last month for around 20.00.

Ah, wasn't sure if it was a topic you had knowledge on or not.

I've done a little bit of searching, and honestly can't really find any info on them. Let alone what one would be worth. There's at least two different one's out there. The set with the green razor, which is the only one I've been able to find a picture of, and one with a white razor, which is the one I had.

Edit: For reference, this is the one picture I've been able to find online: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TglgU3TNZv...having-kit.png

Any chance you could post a picture or two of it?

Edit: Here's two questions I just thought of...

1. What's a good price for the four turtle figures that were released with the season seven DVD sets?

2. I've been watching through the '03 series (I want to say I've seen it in it's entirety), and was wondering. Has the phrase "ninjutsu action" ever been used as the title of a toy's gimmick?

I know I wasnt asked but heres a pic of mine.

Thanks for the pic. I'm confident that's the one I had growing up. Only picture I could find was of the green-razored one, so I wasn't sure if the one I had was from a different year or what. There's a chance I might be able to find the brush and razor...maybe...

Sorry I'm late with this but here's a pic of mine. It has the white shaver as well.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks for the picture. I'm hoping they make sets like these for the new show. Would be the perfect gift for my nephew.

Whats a fair price for a used complete technodrome playset with pealing stickers?

Box or no box?

No box or instructions

About $75. Peeling stickers seem to get more common over time as aging causes the stickiness to wear off. But it still can be called 100% complete so there will be some demand, and I've seen a complete loose Technodrome go for $100 before.

What's up with the openings at the bottom of the carded figures?

The openings give the freshly painted figures access to air allowing them to properly dry.

Good question.

So they have a purpose. Awesome! Thanks for the answer.

Did they ever make a Renet figure, or a prototype? I could've sworn I saw a prototype for the 2k3 line.

No, though they should've.

De nada!

So has it ever been confirmed that there was a fan club form Shredder produced? With the openings at the bottom of the bubble these fan club form figures can easily be faked.

Ive seen some limited edition turtle's posters on this site.

Does anyone have a list of them or any examples they have seen?

Thanks,

What would an old electronic turtle communicator, still working, no box or paperwork, wear on the sticker that's on the battery compartment door, and undamaged antennae be worth? I don't imagine I'll get rid of it, so I'm asking mostly out of curiosity. I'm having a difficult time finding out any info on this thing. The date stamped on the belt hook thing is 1994.

Edit: Would pictures help?

Anybody?

I asked this over on my post in the collections thread, but I might as well ask here. I have 1991 rubber Raphael mask, I have no idea what its worth or how to best care for it. Its the same as this one just Raphael.

Here's a question,

how much should I pay for a chef-boyardee mail away super shredder? It's complete and in great shape. the guys is asking 50. Whaddya think?

Most rubber masks are made from latex rubber. It has the same enemies as plastic & paper. Keep it away from heat/sunlight, moisture and oil. I've had some masks for over 25 years that look great, and some dry up and crack. I've made some that last, and others rot. There's alot of variables, mostly with the chemicals in the latex and or setting temperature.
The best way to clean it is with a damp washcloth, don't put it away wet, or with body oils on it. Dust the inside lightly with baby powder and stuff it with some clean, plain paper like they use for packing so it keeps its shape.
As for value, I have no idea. Look for some manufacturer markings. One of the top makers is Don Post, their stuff usually holds ther value.

I know these are valuable, $50 sound's expensive. Have you checke ebay for finished auctions?

I remember the promotion for these, and the nasty pasta (I can't stand spaghetti-o's anyway) Should have sent off for it :tsad:

I say it never hurts to counter offer; however, I've seen these things sell all day long for $40-50 in good shape.

Asked this in the thread about Playmate's upcoming turtle figures. Figured I might have a better chance getting an answer from this thread:

Also, any help with this question would be great:
Would pictures help?

I think I sold mine on eBay for something like $10. I'm not sure. If I were in the market for them, I think the most I'd spend would be about $10 total. They're nice, but not worth a lot in my opinion. I'd say a GOOD price would be less than $7-8.

If it's sealed than $50 is decent. if not, I'd wait for a sealed one, because you can get them for that price.

I'd say a loose Turtle Communicator in average condition is probably worth around $10-$15 or so.

Ok, thanks. A friend of mine who really isn't into the turtles much got the set of them from a friend of his, and I was considering making an offer for them.

Ok, so it's nothing all that special, lol. Any idea what it would cost to get the box? Would be nice to have one to display behind it.

I have a box of tmnt cards and it has a black slash over the logo. I've noticed others I see have the same mark. Anyone know what it means?

It similar to this one on ebay:

If you're familiar with remainder books in the publishing industry, this is basically the same idea. When a book has run its course in terms of sales, and the publisher has significant stock left, they sell them to retailers at a discount. These become the bargain books usually located in the front of the store. If you look at the edges of those, you should find a black mark somewhere (though not always).

So, these cards were leftover stock that got sold in bulk to some retailer or distributer. The mark is just on the outside and has no effect whatsoever on the cards themselves.

yeah that was my best guess. Makes sense too considering most are complete. I picked mine up at yardsale for 3$ years ago.

I bought a box of the second wave at a outlet toy store, and it had a black mark on it as well, so returned and reduced stock.

I have posted this on another thread but I thought this may be a better place to post it. Jester has been helping me identify this sticker that I'm trying to figure out where it came from: http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/z...werSticker.jpg

That's my first question but I have others:

2. How many Turtle Tips segments were there?
3. Does anyone have a picture of an inflatable bopper that says Cowabunga on it? I also think Shredder is on the bopper as well as other characters?
4. Could anyone outline/explain what's in the Summer 1992 TMNT Magazine?

Thank you!

I could answer a couple of these:

2. From what I found on Youtube, I believe there were 20 (not including the Anti-Drug PSA).
4. According to the cover, Splinter told a story relating to the Barcelona Olympic Games, there was a report on scuba divers, along with a feature on "Earth Keepers". Too bad a seller is charging $40+ for an issue of this online.

Okay I thought the Turtle Tips was somewhere around there but I didn't know for sure. Do you happen to know what reptile the Summer 1992 TMNT Magazine featured in that issue? And if it had a "seek and find" or "board game" style game in it? Thanks for the help pannoni1! And I also like your avatar too.

What is a realistic collector's price for a yellow genghis frog belt?
