My hat (the pintervention)

I have a decent Turtle collection, but it's pretty much the same thing most of you have seen over and over: a bunch of the old toys, some newer toys, various posters and comics and stuff. The thrill of the hunt has been long gone for me as I've felt fairly satisfied in my collection.
Recently the collecting bug has bit me for a particular niche. I'm sure you've all seen an enamel pin at some point, maybe even some of the official Turtles stuff, but I'm guessing most of you aren't aware of the indie pin scene. One of the things I love the most about it is the thrill of the hunt. Some of these come and go in a flash, limited to 100 pieces. Some of them are really weird, or follow the mashup Ript Apparrel fad like Krang in the shape of a WuTang W, I'm more focused on the traditional old school stuff, just for the sake of not ticking off the wife too much. Anyway, here's my collection I began this Xmas:
These are the old school official deals, I think from 1988. There are Turtle pins of course but the supporting cast interests me for now:

This one is what initially got me into the indie pins, I wish it said Foot Stinks but I'm a sucker for anything Party Wagon:

This one is weird, not too sure if I want to go down that rabbit hole:

Then came these 3:

I've got a few more on preorder. I plan to keep this fairly updated. Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for looking!
