Different Aprils`
 

Ok! I know this has probably been covered a million times, but I didn't want to go looking.

I just grabbed a 10 back April with the April only art on the card but the April in the pack has the orange and double blue lines with the little 'press' tag.

What is the proper progression of the April Line? What was the original/subsequent releases?

Okay this is off the top of my head so anyone feel free to edit this list.

1. April O'Neil (No Blue Stripe with Fan Club Form)
2. April O'Neil (No blue Stripe without Fan Club Form)
3. April O'Neil (w/ Blue Stripe)
4. April O'Neil (w/ Blue Stripe on Canadian Card)
(somewhere along the way within these first April's the shell with her name in it was slightly covering the top of her head and then moved to above her head)
5. April O'Neil (Orange No Press w/ solid yellow April artwork on card and name in shell) (same card as original 10 back April)
6. April O'Neil (Orange No Press on Canadian card)
7. April O'Neil (Orange w/ Press w/ orange April artwork on card and name in shell)
8. April O'Neil (Orange w/ Press w/ orange April artwork and name above bubble instead of in shell)
9. April O'Neil (Orange w/ Press on Canadian card)
(Somewhere along the way within these orange press Aprils some were released without the eyebrow painted on)
10. April the Gutsiest Gal (purple) new for 92 on original artwork card
11. April the Ninja Newscaster new for 92 on original artwork card
12. April the Ravishing Reporter on original artwork card

16. Orange Press April on Green generic card w/ blue weapons
17. April Gustsiest Gal (purple) on Green generic card
18. April Ninja Newscaster on Green generic card
19. April Ravishing Reporter with light brown hair on Green generic Card
20. April Ravishing Reporter with black hair on Green generic card
( Some of the various Aprils on the Green generic cards also included yellow pamphlets showing various figures these were taped to the card beneath the bubble)
21. Orange Press April on purple generic card with Collectors Card and blue weapons
22. Orange Press April on purple generic card with Collector's card and coin with blue weapons
23. Orange Press April on purple generic card with coin and blue weapons (no collector's card)
24. Orange Press April on purple generic card with grey weapons KB re-release
(now there's also a variation within the collectors card but I never got into them, maybe VM can fill that part in)
25. Mutatin' April
26. April Gutsiest Gal on purple generic card w/ collectors card
27. Bride of Frankenstein April w/ blue weapons on Universal Monsters card
28. Bride of Frankenstein April w/ yellow weapons on Universal Monsters card
29. Bride of Frankenstein April on purple generic card (Canadian release)
30.Shogun April (tent punch card)
31.Shogun April (J-peg card)
32. Shogun April on generic Purple Card (canadian release)
33. Ninja Newscaster April repaint w/ radical Raptor

EDIT: I had to add mutatin' april, I always forget that monstrosity

So, which is the rarest?

Based on my own personal experience I would say the KB Shogun April with the coin. It's the only April on that list that i've never seen. :)

That's because it doesn't exist ;)

that would be a good reason!

Wow! that is a list. ok so mine is

10 back American card, w/press, orange, w/single blue stripe art on card, name in shell....

Okay I edited the list. I wish that I could remember where I read that KB got the Shogun figures minus Triceraton and Shoate with the coins as exclusives cause that dudes spreading false info. I guess that means that April w/ fan club form is still the champion for rarest. So only Shogun Shredder and Splinter were released with coins?

that would be correct, both got released with collector cards, collector cards and coins together, and then just coins.
