Perhaps something to think about if you do an updated volume. |

I ordered mine on Sunday and can't wait check it out. I'm hoping it will reveal a lot of backstory/history behind some of the more weirder/obscure characters.
I'm also hoping somebody at Super7 has or will get this book, since they are making figures based on the vintage Playmates toys. |

I just ordered mine today. I am going to read it and give a review on my facebook fan page but I am pretty excited about this for the canceled figures.

I looked at one of the youtube reviews and it seems to have a little, but mainly wax sculpts which, while interesting, isn't too captivating and I can see a bunch of them on IG. |

Just thought I'd chime in, since the feedback here seems to be mixed.
I had the idea, incorrectly, that this book was going to be a year-by-year, figure-by-figure sort of collector's guide. While I still do want that book, I think this book is pretty incredible. As a lifelong TMNT fan, specifically someone who has spent a lot of time (and money lol) on the vintage toy line, I learned a ton of new stuff. A lot of thought and care went into this book. |

Holy f**k. Even as someone who does all they can to investigate and document rare and unproduced TMNT stuff... there is just SO MUCH that I had never seen or heard of!
Dopest book I've gotten since Nieli's artbook.

Mine arrived last night. While I haven't had time to really delve into it, I've flipped through it briefly and it is GORGEOUS. What an impressive tome; this is crucial to any fan of the Vintage TMNT toys and era.

I hope they make a companion book that IS a year by year guide though. Would look great on the shelf with each other. |

I ordered this last week but have gotten no status updates. Paranoia setting in that I just flushed more money down this vaporware book drain... ????

Yeah, it's a long process from when you send him your money to when you see your product. However, when you do get it (about 2-3 weeks) the book rocks. Pretend you ordered it from BBTS and that's about the timeline

Thanks for the heads up. I'll delay sobbing into my pillow for a few more weeks.

I got mine last week and finally had a chance to sit down and flip through it for a minute today. Holy crap, this book is great! I can't wait to get a chance to really dive in!

I am about 100 pages into the book so far and it is marvelous. I am waiting until I finish the book to do a full review for my tmnt page. It is a great read so far and is pretty cool to see all this information pilled together.

I see the site says the book's sold out. Is there any chance this book might get a re-release?
