Fan Club Kit ?'s
 

Hey all, Can anyone tell me what came in the 1988 Fan Club Kit? Thanks :D

Lessee...

* A bandana (one of several colors)
* "Mutant Power" sticker
* Welcome letter
* Membership certificate/card
* Mini-comic

I think that's it.

Thanks Rose. I was thinking about getting one but it doesn't really sound like anything I need. I wish it had included like promotional material for the figures released up to that point or something cool like that. Sounds like it really doesn't have anything to do with the toys. :)

I still have the membership card hanging on my wall! XD

I was never in the TMNT fanclub, goodness knows why...:(

But I WAS in the Masters of the Universe one! All I remember is this card where you had to put your thumbs at either side to test your strength, a bar would light up (musta been heat sensitive) to show you how strong you were. That and stickers which was on my bedroom door to make it look like Castle Grayskull (I remember massive hinges and maybe a door knocker?)

Is anyone still a member? I haven't received a newsletter in forever...I think they forgot about me...

Roseangelo, you only forgot one thing that I can think of.

I've seen some with and some without, (if they were just missing or never included, I'm not sure) one-page order sheets with some pretty rare and unusual looking items. I say rare because I've never seen most of them except on those mini-catalogs.

Also, do you know which color bandanas were made? I see black most often, but I've also seen Purple, no others that I remember.

Another thing I never did figure out, though I guess I never tried too hard, was how many issues of the newsletter were made.

I had one... but alas, I was young and it has been scattered to the wind. The pain, the pain. Still haven't bought one because I'm holding out for the mintiest one I can find, maybe even still sealed if such a thing exists.

Yes, I believe you're right. The kit I looked at in reference for my first post had some newsletters inside, but they were sent after the initial kit; I do believe I've seen kits that actually came with similar flyers inside.

Actually, the only colors I've seen are blue, red, orange, and purple (sense a pattern?). However, there are two shades of blue. There's a royal blue color and and really dark navy color, which could easily look black in pictures. I don't think there was ever actually a black one, though. The only color I don't have is red. I thought I had red, but when I looked in my stash recently there was no red. The hunt goes on...

That one I don't know.

I honestly was never even a member of the club. I've just found myself collecting the bandanas over the years, which is how I've come to have all of the various pieces from the club that I have.

I have purple ;) I actually thought that was the only color XD

Here's the colors I have:

Awesome. That is actually the only picture of other colored bandana's from the fan club.

I found something else:

Here's one that was up for sale on Ebay sometime ago, and I spotted a little packet that appears to be some kind of coupons or perhaps game piece. The front of it says "Win Nintendo Games" and there is a "Chips Ahoy", an "Oreos" and a "Cookie Queen" logo on there too. Never heard of Cookie Queen before.

This image also shows the order forms and one of the bandanas that definetely looks black, but it could just be the pic, always difficult to say in cases like this.

I had my eye on a sealed one on Ebay but it went for like 27 bucks and I did not see that one coming. :ohwell:

Yeah, I threw in a bid for that one, but someone obviously wanted it more than me.
