I need some advice. I'm going to give away my origial set of 1988 10 back turtles to a friend for Christmas. I plan to rebuy a set after Christmas, but which set is considered more rare: ORIGINAL 4 TURTLES W/ FAN CLUB FORM or ORIGINAL 4 TURTLES W/ POP UP DISPLAY STANDS. Thanks for the help.

koenne · 12-14-2010, 09:46 AM

Worth more money i would say fan club , but rare i would say pop up ..

raphfan84 · 12-14-2010, 09:53 AM

Well I will tell you that I see more of the Fan Club form TMNT then I do the ones with Pop Up displays. But from what I understand the very first release of the 4 turtles are the ones that came with the Fan Club forms. But I could be wrong.

tmntgoldcoin · 12-20-2010, 08:58 PM

Thanks for the advice guys. I went with the pop ups. They're cooler to me.

SuperShredder · 01-04-2011, 02:09 PM

Someone needs to confirm weather or not the Fan Clubs are the first releases!?! Thats a good thing to know or not know in my opinion.

CuRSh14 · 01-05-2011, 03:30 AM

This should explain it... The answer is mostly yes.

There were multiple releases of the fan club form turtles.

Here it is below: NOTE FCF = Fan Club Form.

SERIES 1 (8

Hey just a question for anyone who has a mosc UK/european version of robotic bebop or rocksteady.

I recently bought another robotic rocksteady from the US to replace the bare bones UK one I had in my collection and sought to make a custom from my old UK one.

But when comparing them I noticed the UK one was a lot duller and a different chrome, it also had a different date stamping with no made in china marking like the US one has. I also noticed I have this variation with two carded robotic bebops.

I know I have two different robotic rocksteadys carded at my parents place and I believe I have this variation carded but just wanted to know if all the UK releases omit the china stamp and have the duller chrome job.

I am unfortunately obsessive with variations and will keep this if i dont own it, but I want to get this custom project underway as soon as I can and dont want to wait weeks befoire i get around to my parents place to find out for myself.

So I'm just hoping all the uk versions are the same just to put my mind at ease and if anyone can help me that would be awesome.

Thanks

Ive never bought any tmnt toys! I only hada party wagon that i found as a kid on the road ahaha! I really want a slash not cos of the cartoon but because he looks so bad ass in the turtles in time game.

I found one unopened on ebay for 35 dollars is that a good price for it?

Like 6-12$. You should've listened to Voidoid, man.

masterturk · 01-30-2011, 01:19 PM

What boxed? Yeh I'll pick one up loose aswel 6-12 yeh complete?

Walkabout · 02-02-2011, 02:58 AM

12-14 US/AUS thats reasonable(as a buyer,IMO), loose/complete-about what I paid for my Slash.
I didnt feel ripped off considering a TMNT figure cost $13 AUS in 89...the one I got wasnt in the box and in great shape but Im not really into varients or keeping my turtles in the box

JaffleMan · 02-04-2011, 06:13 PM

O.K... i think i may have somthing interesting, maybe not.

It has been one of my goals to accumulate 100 vintage foot soldiers, so i ahve bought plenty.

but.......

The weird coloured guy at the front, his head has a different texture when you rub it. The head is on solid and has seem ligns... but when you tap his head on the table, it goes thud instead of dink like every other foot soldier....

can anyone tell me anything about this guy?

I'm not sure if this is rubber or just another type of plastic used. The seem lines are what throw me off it being a rubber head.... it is also one of the foot that has an a stamped on the back of its pants if this helps.

zombieforhire · 04-01-2011, 07:15 AM

I just picked up a transforming foot member , turns from a foot to a battle damaged robot , i`ve never seen the fig before is it rare ?

I don't think that specific toy, from the mutations line, is particularly rare, but it's still a sweet toy.
