[FS] Giant Donatello (1989) No belt, no staff

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I saw one on e-bay with a staff and needed just the staff to complete the one I already had. If anyone is interested in buying the one with no belt or staff off of me, I will sell it SUPER cheap. PM me with offers.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

This figure has a belt now (I made it myself). If anyone wants to take a chance on it, PM me. If not I will post pictures if it hasn't sold when I finally purchase a digital camera.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I've decided to go into business making belts for giant TMNT figures (the 1989 ones). I'll post pictures when I can to either custom toys/collectibles or fan art discussion. There will also be a thread here for those of you who want to order from me.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I will have Raph and Leo from this set available soon.

[Whitewolf89]

I'M interested! Will PM you soon, once I check my finances. What sort of payment-options do you accept? I'm clueless about how to use PayPal, but I can do a money order-type thing, if you'll accept that. Just let me know, k?

I prefer PayPal but can do a money order if necessary. Def get a hold of me in PM. My dad told me that Leo and Raph arrived in the mail today and I've already made belts for them which will be added when I get home. Let me know what you are looking to buy and what your price range is. I'd like to get $20 shipped for each one.

Well, if you'd prefer PayPal, I can try to figure it out. I just suggested the money order thing 'cause that what's easiest for ME, sending money-wise. No biggie either way; I'm flexible.

And I will.

And that's good news about the figs of Leo and Raph. Sounds like they'll look cool!

Again, I will. As to the price-range $20.00 each sounds reasonable to me. Soon as I get the money (and PayPal figured out (shouldn't be THAT hard, should it? (And WHY my sis had to let her account with 'em go, is beyond me. SHE could've helped me with that! Oh, well........)), I'll send it our way.

Hmmmm, WAIT a sec! I'm not sure that I even HAVE a PayPal account! Have to check that out..........

PM ya soon, bro!

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

The belts are all finished and I'm hoping to post pictures tomorrow. At this point these are for sale and if they don't sell via these forums Raph will probably go on e-bay and I will probably just keep the other two. Looking forward to posting pictures of my work.

Tomorrow is now today:



Also, see my post in Custom Toys/Collectibles.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I am hoping to score more of these soon even though there has been no interest whatsoever thus far.

I am currently working on two more Michaelangelo belts and another Raphael variant...

Hey, I said that I was interested, bro! I just don't have the MONEY for them yet, and it's kinda HARD to send you somethin' that I don't cuurrently HAVE!

Be PATIENT with me for a bit longer, okay? Social Security never gets in a hurry to send you back-pay money that they owe you, but it SHOULDN'T be TOO much longer before I get that sandblasted check from 'em.

PLUS which, I'm still working on the PayPal thing.

Cool! Can't wait to see them, and the pic that you posted above REALLY looks great! To the point that I really, really, REALLY WANT these now! Will you take $25.00 a piece for them, plauys shipping (however much that THAT might be)? I'll PM you soon. Promise.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I will take $25 a piece for them INCLUDING shipping.

And don't get upset that I am offering these to others as well! There will be plenty to go around, I promise. I just ordered more giants, they should be in the mail soon.

Edit: Donatello has sold but I have another one coming in the mail, can sell it with the original belt OR a homemade one if that is one of the ones you are interested in, WhiteWolf. Let me know.

Okay, THAT's doable. As soon as I get the money, I'll get it to you. Maybe not all at once, but I DO want ALL of them. INCLUDING Mikey, IF there's one out there.

Oh! Okay, I didn't know that. I guess I just assumed (never, EVER assume anything) that ONE of each was all lthat you had. My bad.

*sighs* And sorry if I came across as sounding upset or "mad" in my last post, bro, but my youngest nephew (who's 9) has been suffering from a major, MAJOR case of "Bratitis" lately, and he's about to drive ME (to say NOTHING of his poor dad, my bro, Bobby!) up the proverbial WALL! To the point that I've been SERIOUSLY tempted to STRANGLE the little brat! So IF I took my tension and ill-temper out on you (OR anyone ELSE around here), I sincerely, profusely apologize

That's cool, and either would be fine (I'd love to have BOTH versions, but if I can only have ONE, I'd like the one that YOU made, bro)

And I know that they don't (probably) come with their individual weapons, but Donnie's would be easy to make myself, once I get him. Just a dowel, the right diameter (sp?), cut to the right length, and wrapped with like white cloth athletic tape would probably work, and I think that I can manage THAT myself.

Still workin' on the "figurin' out the PayPal" thing, but I'll PM you soon, either way.

What are you making the belts out of? It looks like colored electrical tape to me....

Nope, construction paper, coated with this:



You sayin' they look bad or something, MS?

Whitewolf-- if there is something SPECIFIC you want-- let me know (only one strap, no straps, a color other than black, colored letters, etc) and I will try to make it happen for you. DON'T send me any money until I have these in my hands and have finished belts for them and they are ready to ship. I will most likely be keeping the original belts from the three I bought off of e-bay recently unless I resell them on e-bay (although I've already sold one with a homemade belt on there and will probably sell another before the day is done).

I'm saying it looks like colored electrical tape, that is why I asked what you use.

You really got to stop reading more into things then you do, you will give yourself a heart attack.

Okay.

Hmmm, lemmee see now: I think just a plain brown belt, with ONE shoulder strap (for his bo), and the initial colored the color it is on the show will be fine with me.

As for sending you the money BEFORE you get the figs, don't worry; I won't. It's easier that way on both of us. (PLUS which, I STILL don't have that sandblasted CHECK back yet, or PayPal figured out! (I'll get it figured out of it KILLS me, though! )) My late dad worked for the U.S. Postal Service and he told me TO never PAY for something like that before the seller took delivery first. And as you can guess, I ALWAYS listened to my dad.

Anyway, talk at ya soon, bro!

Well...you're either asking a lot or I'm confused by what you are asking! The original belts didn't have holders for the weapons, I SUPPOSE I could make some. Problem is that I don't have a complete set of these myself to use as templates. I had Don and Mike with weapons, but they've since sold. So when you say " a strap for his bo," I'm not quite sure what you mean. I CAN make you brown belts for all four turtles with initials the colors of their masks, that's no problem. I can also only do one strap for Leo (and Don) if you wish-- but you need to tell me WHICH SHOULDER you want the strap to go over. So be very specific about what you want. I can't promise you weapon holders but that's an interesting idea that I may have to consider at some point.

*palms face in aggrevated disgust at herself* Wolfie, you idiot! Couldn't make it clearer for him, could you?! Dim-brained Mouse that you are.........

*sighs* I think I must have confused you, bro, but then again, I was in a bit of a hurry (my library comp-use time was running out on me) when I typed all that.

Anyway, I just want the belt with the ONE shoulder strap, and I can figure out how to fix his boin it (them) myself ONCE I get him. As for the complete sets of weapons for the other guys (provided I can find some/rig some up), I can do the SAME with once I get them, too. So don't worry about the weapons, okay? I'LL handle THAT from MY end, once I get the figs.

As to the guys' belts, now that I've thought about it, can you do plain brown WAIST-belts for all of them, with SILVER-colored buckles and initials in their individual colors? Or would that be TOO much? Whatever's easiest on YOU, and for YOu to, is fine with me, bro. I'm NOT that hard to please. Heh, My FAMILY could tell you THAT!!!

As to the shoulder-belts for Leo and Donnie, I think one for each one, but with LEO's over his RIGHT shoulder, and DONNIE'S over his LEFT one. How's that?

*sighs again* Again, sorry I was so confusing earlier, bro, but, like I said, I was in a bit of a hurry, PLUS which, I was developing something of a headache, too. (I think I'm coming DOWN with something, PLUS which it's the time of year that starts driving my poor sinuses REALLY crazy! (Gads, I hate Fall sometimes.....!)) So I kinda goofed up. I'll try to be clearer, promise.

Til NEXT time........!!!

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

Okay. That's much better. The silver belt buckles might be a bit much. Maybe you could draw and scan what exactly you're looking for? It might not help though, silver belt buckles might prove too much trouble...

I'mma get started on these real soon, I'll send pics when I can (I have another lot of turtles coming in the mail soon). Any idea how soon you'll have that SS check?

Cool.

And you know, where the buckles being SILVER are concerned, you're right. That WOULD be a bit harder on you, so Just make the buckle in Donnie's color, and the OTHER guys' buckle in THEIR colors. Woukld THAT be easier for you? If it would be, just go that way/

Orrrr, just make them the same color as the belts themselves, like they are on the figs in your picture of them. Just whichever is easiest on YOU, bro, is fine with me. I'm not hard to please, as I said earlier.

Again, cool, to both of those. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

As to when I'll get the check, I'm not sure. They told us that if could be as little as 30 days (and it's BEEN almost that already), OR, if Social Security wanted to be contrary, it could be as much as 60 days. But given that THEY were the ones who goofed UP when they held the money OUT of my check in the FIRST place, you'd think that they'd give it BACK to me as soon as POSSIBLE, but that's the GOVERNMENT for you. If they get your money, and they weren't SUPPOSED to, they NEVER get in a hurry to send it BACK you.

But it SHOULD be soon. I'll PM you and let you know when I DO get it. Promise.

STILL workin' on figurin' out how PayPal works, so bear with me, okay?
