Hello!

I don't post too much here, but plan to more when I get some things for sale underway. So good afternoon to all!

I've been a big fan of TMNT ever since the 1988 show. Over the years I've collected many action figures. I have over 65 of them and about 14 on original artwork cards, some vehicles and the Krang Droid Body which all I have gotten when they were in stores. I've watched many of the cartoon shows, but not so much the newer series from the 2000's era because life's gotten very busy. LOVED The movies (except #3... which I've written off as a non-legit TMNT film, hehe).

Anyway... this has to be THE coolest TMNT thing I have ever owned. It pretty much dwarfs my toy collection. This is the only site I can think of where people would probably most appreciate seeing this, so here's my Screen-used Foot Soldier Mask from the original 1990 TMNT film:

The mask was not that impressive when I first saw the image as it was advertised, but I knew I could make a more suitable display for it. Here's the before picture as it was received:

The only thing I really did to the mask was fix up the small broken seams on the sides and middle, but I felt it was important to leave it as-is otherwise because it was, afterall, used. The headband was folded better to match how it was seen in the film. Finally I sewed together a faux chest piece to put over the shoulder/lower neck area to finish the piece off, but nothing has been affixed to the mask at all. Same one, just a lot more presentable and attractive IMO.

Hope you enjoy the pics!
