*Variants* Ninja Turtles Action Figure *Variants*
 
Hi, I have searched for vintage TMNT figure variants on Google Images, TMNT websites, on ebay, and other toy websites and I still can't find many Ninja Turtle variant figures. I made this thread to compile all of the pictures of variants that I can find. I am hoping that people will contribute pictures that they may have. :tgrin::tcool::tsmile:

The following site isn't active anymore but it can be found at archive.org. It's a great variant list but the pics are long gone and not archived.

In Germany, some weapons have appeared in light blue, including Super Shredder's weapons, and Tokka & Rahzars weapons. There are Rahzars with black belly armor. Furthermore, the manufacturer "Bully" has released Mini Turtles, which vary in color.

While I think something like this has been a long time coming, it's going to be a MONSTER undertaking. Good luck!

Damn, I hadn't realized there were so many Rhinoman variants. I had the one with purple weapons.

To me, simply having the scarcest variant with a few exceptions is enough for me, as it is just too overwhelming (and space and budget consuming) to collect everything. It is crazy to think that just up through the 2007 movie, there are over 1800 different variants. But it does show Thanks for the link spiderpumpkin!

There is also a 1992/1993 April with grey weapons instead of blue. It is also orange/yellow.

Got this today with blue weapons. I knew that some european variants came with blue weapons (Rahzar, Super Shredder...), but all the basic Turtles I had came with brown weapons.

ComicBookBoy 11-18-2012 09:34 PM

I've never seen any of the basic figures with blue weapons.

Sorry for not updating this list lately. I just got a job recently, so I haven't had as much time to do things like this.

Those are probably weapons from an under cover Raphael. That figure came with either blue or yellow weapons.

I found out that the blue sais belong to Samurai Raph from Movie 3.

Hi,
this link has no pic anymore, does anyone knows about a Tattoo figure with a blue weapon instead of a red one? Could not really find much about it. Just found that variation in a box full of different toys i bought.
Thanks!

boywonder26 05-30-2015 11:11 PM

How many variants of splinter are there?

Powder 05-30-2015 11:21 PM

All in all Playmates made probably around 25 over the years. Or do you mean for one specific era? Or am I totally off the mark & you're talking about like soft-heard vs hard head? :tlol:

88 soft
88 hard
Creepy Crawlin'
Movie Star
Movie 3
Mutating (regular)
Mutating (vehicle)
Shogun Splinter
Mutant Masters
Mini Mutant
Next Mutation
4kids regular
4kids miniature
4kids Paleo Patrol
Fast Forward
TMNT
TMNT Mini Mutant (or am I imagining this?)
TMNT minature single package
Nick
Nick Kendo version
Half Shell Heroes
Bayturtles

There's likely a few others that I'm forgetting but I'm sure it's at least more than 20.

slashpieturtlemix 05-31-2015 01:14 AM

Thanks for the reply,no you answered correct,I probably could have worded it better..I was trying to see how many variants there are of the movie star splinter.

JayDubs 06-02-2015 05:05 PM

One of the Groundchuck variants is a Green Brain.
Scumbag had a green and black boot version

TD Tossin Leo has a Blue accessory variant
Heavy Metal Raph has a orange belt variant
Chrome dome had a blue weapon variant
Movie star splinter with tooth variant
Slash with bright yellow belly variant
Napoleon Bonafrog light and dark variants
Ray Fillet Pink V variant

*the light blue variants are the European variants
