Hello Dromers, in the early going of the Tmnt original toyline this second set of accessories came out.

Toycard art was nice, although, like I said in the 1988 Gags, Jokes and Crazy Weapons #1 thread http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=42598 it would be pretty much the same card used for all the three sets, We can forgive Playmates for that, it was the first year after all.


The accessories included this time were a garbage can shield, a pizza flyer, a sewer slingshot ( in the case of this last one, Was Mikey a Dennis the Menace 2.0 or Bart Simpson ancestor? Lol) and a city communicator

Plus a retromutagen suirter ( a liquid that stains and the vanishes in seconds) and the second National Turtle Quizjokebook.

I still prefer the first set over the second, but it wasn´t that bad either. I think it´s a nice addition to the Tmnt universe and any could have been featured on the original Tv show. I said it again If you are looking for something still cheap and vintage, go for them.

Here´s a good review on youtube of the three sets

Anyone knows if there was a Tv commercial for these sets?

What do you think about this second set? Do you got it? Any memories you wanna share from where you bought and saw it the very first time? Anyone used the retromutagen squirter on someone?

Hope you liked and thanks for reading.
