TMNT film prop/memorabilia collectors?
 

just curious if anyone here collects TMNT movie memorabilia. i remember a guy posting a year or two ago with a VERY nice prop collection... development shredder armor prototypes and foam latex turtle peices, among other things. does anyone know if he still posts here? i have a few cool TMNT peices... a screen used TGRI canister of ooze from TMNT 2, xerox copies of the shooting scripts for TMNT and TMNT 2, and several movie and genre magazines from the early 90s with GREAT articles on making the first two films.

Is there any way you could post pic's. It would be greatly apreciated. :)

yeah... i'm EXTREMELY busy right now, but first chance i get, i'll post some pics. ....forgot to add the original production crew shirt from the first TMNT movie. :)

Cool dude and take your time. :)

I have an animatronic splinter from the 3rd movie plus a donatello lifesize from the 3rd movie made out of foam and latex, they are stored away till i move house so cant take pics at the minute.

Wow I really hope that you can post pics of that soon :o :D

ahhh... did you get those from marcia at starwares.com? i've seen quite a few pics of those. nice peices! i turned down some turtles costume peices from 3 a year ago...still kicking myself over that one. other regrets from not buying... newspaper from the end of TMNT2, fully storyboarded TMNT script, continuity photos from TMNT... there are COUNTLESS others, but those are what springs to mind at the moment. :)

Wow1 I guess I'd be kicking my self too,I'd like to have the random stuff like the new's paper.I really want the script to the first movie,luckely I found some sites which sell them for a pretty fair price. :)

yeah... there are a few sites with the scripts pretty cheap. my copies are fairly old, however. i'm trying HARD to find a copy the first draft script and treatment by bobby herbeck. i've been told they're VERY different from the final draft by todd langen, which is what's floating around the net. i've also got a lead in the film biz on an early draft of TMNT3, which is supposed to be totally different that the trash that ended up on screen.

haha... when you have collected this kinda stuff for as long as i have, you always have regrets. the TMNT stuff isn't a major loss at all... just stuff i wouldn't mind having on a shelf, lol! i'm actually still in contact with the studio employee that has the NINJA RAP IS BORN paper, and i also have some leads on some USA TODAY mock-ups from the first fiml. :)

Hay, TMNT 1 wasn't trash. I'm sure early versions were better but they did what they did, and it wasn't bad at all.
Ninja Rap, that's crap.


I want 3 things from TMNT1.
Raph's coat, hat and sai.
Nothing more nothing less

I would like to have full costumes of all four Turtles from TMNT1,Leo's katana's,Shredder's Helmet from TMNT1,and the Broke Ooze cannister,Ninja Rap news paper.

i got these from a guy in the u.sm they were shipped to me over here in Australia, cost a packet but well worth it, Donatello was hanging up in Planet Hollywood in Beverly Hills, he is in a flying kick stance, he looks amazing, very fragile espeically the shell region. With Splinter u can see the work that goes into making these props. when i was on holiday over there in 1996 i saw a Raphael from the 1st movie at planet hollywood, found a photo of him i took the other day he looks great wish i had him to, but im lucky with what i have been able to get. once i move house probably month off im putting these guys up on display so will defenitely post pics.

That was me. And I still have the props, though I haven't added anymore props to the collection since then.

nice stuff, man! i'm really digging the broken canister of ooze. i've had two screen used canisters since i've been collecting, a stunt peice and a hero peice. i sold the stunt canister, with foam end caps and "ooze" painted inside about a year ago. i kept the hero prop, and actually used one of the methods used on the set for display. when a canister 'full of ooze' was required for a shot, a tranparent green cylinder was slid into a clear canister to give the proper effect. the stunt prop, which i REALLY regret selling, was actually painted inside to give the ooze effect. it looked to have REALLY seen some action in it's day....

anyway, would there be any way you could get some up close shots of your props, tmntman? i'm really curious about the shredder armor. what is the canister constructed of.. plastic? also, what movie are the turtle arms from? GREAT stuff!

here's an older pic... i'll do my best to get up-to-date pics as soon as possible...

EDIT------
yeah, that was a TOTAL typo on my part... i meant to say TMNT 3. :lol: the first turtles movie is by far one of my top 5 of all time...

Sweet,like no deposit no return. :D

if you come along this scripts please bless us with the details, i really love all the behind the scene stuff that goes into making a movie. and nowadays it is gettign harder and harder to find anything ninja turtles related

Where's this movie 1 Raph at the Beverly Hills P.Hollywood? Oh man, come to think of it...I think all of the PH are gone.

I dunno if I would want to see an inanimate Raph in display but another side wants to see the workmanship that went into the realistic appearance. bleah..

I wondered! hehe you would have bee nthe first to say 1 sucked...ok yeah III sucks bigtime. All Creature Effects are the morons who messed up their whole look. Big mistake that Creature Shop didnt do it

The Rapahael was in Planet Hollywood in San Ana, i think the place was called but yeah all the planet hollywoods are gone now so the of the reasons i guess Donatello became available to get, so Raphael should be floating around somewhere, hopefully not thrown in a dumpster.
