The TMHT (Hero Turtles) non-Playmates merchandise thread
 

I'm going to open a separate thread to showcase the various products released in the UK/Europe that were never released elsewhere. It opens up a new level of challenge of collecting for those overseas, plus since the TMHT was only used in the 1990s, ensures that everything shown is from that decade (mostly early '90s at that).

Great thread, I used to have school bag! and some of the other stuff. Great memories. Thanks

LOL.
Given that you are from America and you obviously don't have your own
collection of stuff from Europe you will of course use google search results.
Good luck.

Oh, also let me correct you .
TMHT is not only from 90s.
I have tons of stuff from 1990-1997/8 marked TMHT.

1990-1997/8 are still considered 1990s in America.

Guess he figured since he's called out for just that in the other tread, he'd make his own....

Badges/Buttons


Mugs

But cowabunga is not an adjective, how do you have a "cowabunga Christmas"?

The blue alarm clock and party invitation made me laugh...it says "please come to my party". Sounds kinda sad and desperate. Anyone else think it should say "Youre invited too my" or "We invite you to our" party?

Those Tattoos were great!

I will have to get my stuff together and contribute sometime.

Some of my UK gear has already been showcased on Ninja Pizza and Go-Green Machine. (the badges, mugs, etc)

There;s a few things like board games, jigsaw puzzles and stationary I'll capture and showcase when I remember.

Jumping Knit Patter (has a 1989 date so one of the first Hero Turtles items):


Tesco Christmas Special flier featuring Michelangelo:


Brooch style pin badge:


Some postcards:

The Scalextric set was really good.
I might have to track that down again.

This thread is awesome, bringing back so many memories:D

Great thread & pictures! Man that plaster molding set is cool, I'd like to track that down!

A lot of inconsistencies with Mike holding different weapons or is barehanded given that nunchucks were a no-no then. But good pics though.

Yeah, in the early days ('89-'90) the art was pretty inconsistent. Sometimes Mike'd have his 'chuks, sometimes barehanded, sometimes he'd have a sword, or a bo, or dagger. Sometimes all the turtles would be mixed up. Then again, the majority of this merchandise was just slapped together and rushed out with little care for accuracy, so it's not all that surprising.

Most of my stuff's in storage, but I'll try and get some photos of what I have up over the weekend.

I should find my Heroes Turtles stuff...but it's probably at the bottom of one of my toy chests. I had like puffy stickers, notepads, gummy candy, ect. My grandparents were living in England in the 90's and sent me any Hero Turtles stuff they could find. *lol*

I has that colouring book, awesome stuff.

Children's Book 4: Curse of the Evil Eye


One positive thing about the UK was that a VHS released was a whopping three hours long, nearly twice the length of the longest video in the US. That's a total of eight episodes on one tape.

More Greeting Cards

the one with the tmht cards has raph saying mikey's lines from the first movie

I had so much of this stuff, and still have most of it as well!

Note - most of the TMHT videos were just two episodes per tape; the long-length ones were not so frequent.

My sons are now enjoying all those old books and comics, like "The Curse of the Evil Eye" one shown above.

I love my TMHT :-)

Some more TMHT stuff:

First, my beloved mug - still in daily use, after 23 years!

Patches w/packaging


Possibly the last item ever released under the Hero Turtles moniker:

Heh, this is the first time I've ever seen "Tiffany" referred to as a member of the Channel 6 staff. I guess the old saying is true, getting work in high places in all about "who you know." In this case, I suspect Burne Thompson found her especially "qualified" for certain tasks. :teek:

And that's really funny how they listed Splinter's stick with the other three weapons. Can't dare show those kids those evil nunchuks!
