Massive TMNT Archive Idea

saiyan_monkey · 06-23-2009, 01:51 AM

Hiya everyone. Im unsure if anyone has thought about doing this but here goes.

I ran an idea to krang a fair while back (before my pc died) and asked him what he thought of an Archive category dedicated to complete listings of official TMNT items released. Im currently doing all the cards I own (will need help with what I dont own) and im not just meaning the names but pictures linked up to those names(check the example). I have an online card libary called rarecardz Libary and after I joined here the idea for a TMNT Archive popped into me head.

example (click the names)

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Title Card
2 Leonardo
3 Michaelangelo
4 Donatello
5 Raphael
6 Master Splinter
7 Reporter April O'Neil
8 Crimefighter Casey Jones
9 Danny Pennington
10 The Shredder

Could you imagine that but with toys, coins, posters, games, movies, comics and just everything and anything turtles??? I believe it would be a great asset to everyone not just the collectors but the whole site, but then again it would make collecting TMNT easier for those who do or plan to. I have 4 sets of cards fully completed in my libary and are also ready for the Archive. However this is not something I could do myself but will need the help of all the collectors out there.

Its also possible to make a seperate board for an archive then link it here but wouldnt it be best if The Technodrome owned it??

What does the community think of this idea?? Please post your thoughts here wether good or bad.

It's a great idea, I've already started one for toys on my flickr acount some time ago.
but just recently added Playmates toys catalogs.

I just had a quick look but thats aweome VaughnMichael. How much of the toys does it cover it total?

*Spitfire* · 06-23-2009, 07:31 AM

Why is Leo on the Don card and why is Shredder in Alaska?

Neat idea I've always wanted to see these.

Ive always wondered why they made such a big mistake on Dons card. I will be doing 3 sets of the movie even though theres not much difference in them. The cards pictured are the USA packet versions. I'll focus on getting the rest of the sets done if people are keen for this archive idea.

Ive been talking to krang and im about to forward him scanned pictures of all the cardbacks I own and pictures of the figure MOC. But no way do i own everything. I think between a few of us we can have this down.

I really think we can do better than what ninjaturtles.com has.

Something similar to what yojoe.com has would be great.

saiyan_monkey · 06-23-2009, 10:02 PM

Are the card backs from toys? Ive never seen the 2 sites you mentioned but I'll go have a look. I reckon with enough collectors we could do something massive.

Dark 5cythe · 06-24-2009, 01:10 AM

Yeah I took like 100 or so MOC tmnt figures placed em on my scanner and voila! high res pictures ready for archive! Ninjaturtles.com has a great archive section but lets face it, the pictures suck. too small. cant read the file cards etc.

yeah go check out

http://yojoe.com/toys/ for a massive gi joe archive

and http://ninjaturtles.com/ for one of hte only ninja turtles archive sites.

We can do something truly awesome here.

Front of the card, back of the card, loose picture, picture of weapons and any variations released. It would rule.

Here an example of the card back I scanned:

*VaughnMichael* · 06-24-2009, 01:53 AM

I've taken allot of the photos for ninjaturtles.com I've sent in allot of stuff but Dan never got around to uploading them or whatever.
I have allot of stuff on my flickr acount like I said before also, I wasn't aware that they would want to hoast such an extensive listing of photos on this site though as I thought it would kill their bandwidth.

**Krang** · 06-24-2009, 03:14 AM

Thanks to saiyan Monkey and Dark 5cythe for allowing us to host your projects! We're definitely looking forward to seeing them.

I appreciate the concern, but we actually have plenty of room to spare there and are always looking for more content to add to the site. If you're interested, maybe you could collaborate with Dark 5cythe?

Well dang I wouldn't have wasted my money on flickr had I known that, oh well.

saiyan_monkey · 06-24-2009, 04:28 AM

Krang; no problem but the only concern I have is that a topic on the techno board only allows 10,000 characters and most of the card sets have around 12 to 15,000, fleer will be up to 20,000 unless if I take out the bold and colour code im sure it will cut it right down, maybe below the topic limit.

Dark 5cythe; I had a quick look at the 2 sites but still believe we can do just as good or even better. Might take alot of work but hey, be worth it.

Seeing that card back with the toys brings back some awesome memories. I remember getting that splinter for a birthday... how I miss being able to play with toys.

Dark 5cythe · 06-24-2009, 12:37 PM

Well im down to make this THE ninja turtles archive site.

Im sure vaughns collections is extensive!

This project sounds killer! I can't wait to see what you guys put together!

edit: btw Vaughn, your flickr archive is fantastic.

Archon_Turtle · 06-24-2009, 07:09 PM

heeeeeey I wanna be part of the cool kids club tooooooo!

saiyan_monkey · 06-24-2009, 07:12 PM

Well I'll do the cards but we still need someone to do the comics and other stuff. Theres still cards that I dont own so if someone reading this has something thats not on the list below let me know and we can arrange something.

cards I'll be doing

Movie 1 , ireland, usa packs and collector box. (just need to hunt down a regina NZ set)

Movie 2 secret of the ooze (im sure only usa had this and movie 3)

Movie 3

Series 1 Ireland (packs and collector box are identical so the set Ive already done will be enough)

Series 1 regina New Zealand

Series 1 USA packs and collector box

Series 2 packs and tote pack are identical cards so again 1 set is enough but pack photos will be added

Fleer 3d cards (still need 2)

Fleer Series 1 (i have everything except splinters sewer cover)

Fleer Series 2 (bidding on a complete set so hopefully I'll win that)

Unleashed TCG (I have all but 11 cards finished already, includes all 180 cards minus the 11 missing)

I think thats all I have but will have to check. Heres my email [email protected] if somone has cards not listed please email me the set name with scans of the front and back of the cards. Big ask I know but needs to be done.

Don't you pass out the memberships in that club? Seriously though, Archon would be a good guy to have on this project, he's ultra knowledgeable.
