Archon's Major Collection Milestone!
 

Hey gang! Very exciting personal news for me! This is an announcement 20 years in the making for me!

As of today I own every single Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure and vehicle produced by playmates from 1988 to 1998 (variants, mini-playsets, and roleplaying items excluded).

In the coming days I am going to be photographing EVERYTHING individually and creating one MASSIVE photo album, which I will share with you guys upon it's completion. I just had to make the announcement as I was bursting at the seams to share this! SO EXCITED!

Yahoo!!! Congratulations!!!

Awesome, dude..so, what will you conquer next?

Sweet! I can't wait to see the photos!

Congrats man! How many figures is that?

Wow, that's a lot of figures. :) Congratulations!

2003
 

Do you have every figure from 2003 and later too?

You mean the crappy ones? No. I stopped caring when Playmates stopped caring.

As to how many figures it is, I'm not really sure yet...I'm counting as I take pictures :-) I hope to finish the photographing tonight.

TMNT stuff
 

Do you collect som other TMNT stuff, if: What?

Congrats, man. Do you have everything on display? That has to take up quite a bit of space

I've got most of it on display. You can see a lot of it here

Well, I see you have some 2003+ figures. I take it you're just collecting the ones you like, then?

yeah, I'm not doing the completitionist thing with the new stuff. The post new movie stuff is pretty unacceptable.

was 98 the last year for them? Congrats by the way

yes, a lot of people (including me) thought it was 97, but there were atleast two toys from the Next Mutation series I have found so far that were marked 1998. So I believe the toys! And Thank you!

Which were those?

Don's Hydro Skimmer and Leo's Camo Blitz Cycle. I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd take a pic of mine, you can find pics of them here though:

Ah, yes, the Ultra-Rare, Uber-Awesome repaints.

you know I wasnt that thrilled with them till I actually got my hands on them. They form fit into their vehicles...so they blend into them pretty well. It is a neat effect. They're definately my favorite Next Mutation figs.

It's a shame that the coolest figures are so hard to obtain.
