Excitedly waiting for mine!

Just wondering, has anyone received the book yet? Surprised that there aren't any reviews online yet. :ohwell:

They only just shipped pre-orders like a day ago.

That must be it then. :lol:
I ordered a copy last week, hoping it will ship soon too! :D

I signed up for USPS Informed Delivery, so I can see packages on their way to my address, even if I was never given a tracking number.

I'm optimistic that mine will be delivered tomorrow!

My copy came today. It was way way bigger than I thought it would be, it's a beefy book at 400 pages.

Very cool, I'll wait to hear what some of you think once in hand, but I might get one of these.

finally decided to order it. we'll see when it comes.

Definitely interested, but waiting for some reviews

Review:
You're welcome. :tlol:

I'm not a toy collector but this is a book to have, that's it.

More satisfied customers (some of them Dromers):

Nice extended look at some unproduced elements for the Warriors of the Forgotten Sewers line (probably my favorite section in Rad Plastic)!

I got my book a couple days ago. Haven't had a chance to open it up yet, but looking forward to it!

Got mine today and it's fantastic!

I ordered my copy this afternoon; I can't wait to get it. My daughter will love going through it too.

Is there more to the book than pictures of wax sculpts and some drawings?

It's 400 pages, so yes, it's more than that. But what specifically are you looking for?

Another review.

I know it’s not a collecting guide but for reference to the uniqueness of what was shown, and to give reference to what wave figures are from, I think just one large collage showing all the figures/vehicles from a given year instead of just listed would have been great. Thumbnails would have been good. I know I had to good some waves so I could see what other figures were referenced, especially when viewing undressed items.

Perhaps something to think about if you do an updated volume.

I ordered mine on Sunday and can't wait check it out. I'm hoping it will reveal a lot of backstory/history behind some of the more weirder/obscure characters.

I'm also hoping somebody at Super7 has or will get this book, since they are making figures based on the vintage Playmates toys.

I just ordered mine today. I am going to read it and give a review on my facebook fan page :tlol: but I am pretty excited about this for the canceled figures.

Concept designs, unproduced sculpts, etc but specially commentary on the design process for the figures and sculpts. Something like (and I am making this up) "Oh I remember Shredder, we gave him blue armor because in comics, blue is often used as highlighting and we couldn't give him silver paint because it'd be out of budget."

I looked at one of the youtube reviews and it seems to have a little, but mainly wax sculpts which, while interesting, isn't too captivating and I can see a bunch of them on IG.

Just thought I'd chime in, since the feedback here seems to be mixed.

I had the idea, incorrectly, that this book was going to be a year-by-year, figure-by-figure sort of collector's guide. While I still do want that book, I think this book is pretty incredible. As a lifelong TMNT fan, specifically someone who has spent a lot of time (and money lol) on the vintage toy line, I learned a ton of new stuff. A lot of thought and care went into this book.

Holy f**k. Even as someone who does all they can to investigate and document rare and unproduced TMNT stuff... there is just SO MUCH that I had never seen or heard of!

Dopest book I've gotten since Nieli's artbook.

Bought! Waiting for it now.

Got it yesterday, it was the only good out of a very depressed day. Thank you for making it.

Mine arrived last night. While I haven't had time to really delve into it, I've flipped through it briefly and it is GORGEOUS. What an impressive tome; this is crucial to any fan of the Vintage TMNT toys and era.

I also kind of thought this book would be a year by year collector's guide. At first I was disappointed but there is so much good stuff in there that as soon as I let go of my original assumption, I was able to enjoy the book.

I hope they make a companion book that IS a year by year guide though. Would look great on the shelf with each other.

I ordered this last week but have gotten no status updates. Paranoia setting in that I just flushed more money down this vaporware book drain... ????

Yeah, it's a long process from when you send him your money to when you see your product. However, when you do get it (about 2-3 weeks) the book rocks. Pretend you ordered it from BBTS and that's about the timeline

Thanks for the heads up. I'll delay sobbing into my pillow for a few more weeks.

I'm self published. It's literally me packing up and shipping every single book by hand. Also, it's media mail, so the shipping is rather slow. As you can see just from this thread, everyone is getting their books.

Feel free to drop me an email and if it has shipped, I can look up the tracking # and send it to you.

I got mine last week and finally had a chance to sit down and flip through it for a minute today. Holy crap, this book is great! I can't wait to get a chance to really dive in!

It's here!!!
Thanks CJ!

Hope you enjoy it!

I am about 100 pages into the book so far and it is marvelous. I am waiting until I finish the book to do a full review for my tmnt page. It is a great read so far and is pretty cool to see all this information pilled together.

I see the site says the book's sold out. Is there any chance this book might get a re-release?

Uh oh..... was waiting a little bit to buy that also
