Have you made a list of what figures were released for each cardback variation ?

Sure thing, and nope.

Hey Mike do you know there's a Robotic bebop with this kind of cardback w collector's card?

*Ninjinister* · 03-19-2009, 03:04 PM

I don't recall seeing any like that with a collector's card, but I do have a few with that style card back (one with that image, and another with Shogun Turtles despite it being Savage Leo). It's obviously a foreign release, what with the bilingual logos. I've always wondered why one side maintains them as "Hero" Turtles when the other blatantly says "Ninja" - and here, the standard TMNT logo is on the card - :p

Indeed I do I've got a shredder like that on my flickr page.
But I really don't use the photos of them unless I can't find an U.S. release of them.
I just came across something very rare on ebay and just got in my hands today thanks to my good friend Hero over in the U.K.
A release of Raph as the Mummy on a 1993/1994 re-release card, this was shocking to me as I had no idea these things saw any sort of re-release ever!

I love finding things like that.

I like the original much better, a nice ' pearl ' coat of paint on him makes him look really glossy and toony.

I think you missed the point there junior.

this is a french release.
to answer the question about the different logos, the answer is simple, they have pick up the UK version of the logo and added the french version with "tortues ninja".
a lot of staff came around europe with the UK's logo and a lot with the original "ninja" logo.
the only two countries had changed the name are UK with "hero" instead of "ninja" and france becuase they had ever translated the name of the toys, same for "he man" to "musclor".

And the stickers on his pizza disc blades and the lenticular T.V. made that figure so fun.

They really went and crapped out everything leading up to 1999 ..

Other then the raph variant that came with the toon cycle, I didnt know there were any non-gloss toon turtles... I would imagine they are really hard to find nowadays? I must have them!!!

This is a great thread...
I typically limit my TMNT collecting to loose pieces that I try to complete. With this many re-releases though, I can see why many TMNT collectors are MOC buyers. It's the only way to really know what era you are buying from.

Toon Cycle with Toon Raph was released a second time alongside that Toon Mike in 1998/1999. If I have to post pictures of the packaging to prove it I will.

I saw a Raph as the Mummy on a variant card on e-bay years ago but neglected to buy it.

It's not that I don't believe it but sure a photo of the front back and date would be apricated

And yeah I have it, when I got it in the mail from the uk it was smashed, I've never seen another ever.

As soon as I find it, you'll get them. I know it was a re-release because it had pics of other toys they'd re-released on the back of the box (the sewer party and army tubes, which consequently were released around the same time). I remember because I bought one MIB from another fan years ago thinking it was the original and it wasn't. I also remember SEEING it at KayBee Toys in late 1999 and making a comment to my friend about it.

You opened it too, didn't you? Can you post a pic of the back of the card or is it nothing new?

Edit: There's a LOT of great stuff just floating around the internet if you know where to look

*VaughnMichael* · 02-26-2010, 01:59 AM

It's still in the box, I'll get to it whenever I have time.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-25-2010, 12:07 AM

This might have been mentioned in this thread (I don't know), but Andrewdsz and I were talking about this earlier--he was unaware of the packaging variation and I was beginning to wonder if I dreamed the whole thing up.

*Powder* · 04-25-2010, 12:12 AM

Cool!

I miss my Dino's.

andrewdsz · 04-25-2010, 12:23 AM

VERY cool brother. I have the 1st one, the 2nd package is definitely way more rare, however since nobody really gives a S about package variations it doesnt worth much.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-25-2010, 12:30 AM

I have the first one too. I've decided to keep it.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 09-09-2010, 04:55 PM

Vaughn, do you have a back-up of all of the carded Ninja Power series pics you sent in to the Official site?
