Original 80s Cartoon VHS cover artwork

SavageSloth · 07-21-2018, 02:01 PM

I was wondering if they ever made posters or high resolution images available of the VHS covers for the original cartoons?
I really liked some of the covers, and would love to get prints of them if possible. Particularly these 2 (sorry for the large images):

... OK, I know the toy weapons were orange but why are they orange here?

The Epic Begins is one my favorites too! I'm fortunate to own the original cover painting but it's too big for my scanner. You can see a decent pic here:

As you probably know, most of them are already at this website

No prob. My all time favorite is the cover to Shredder is Splintered which I'm also super fortunate to own. Here it is just in case you'd like to do something with it http://cafurl.com?i=20987

Cool scans. Love the artwork. I never liked the artwork on the UK video releases but oh nostalgia I still love'em.

This is interesting, I don't own this one:

However I own a video (different episodes) like it which means the guy doesn't have it added to that site yet.

*oldmanwinters* · 07-26-2018, 02:24 PM

They sure don't make 'em like that anymore!

Ah, nothing like going to the video store during the 1990's and renting TMNT VHS tapes. I remember renting them as a kid in like 1990-1991. And then I went trough another spurt when I got back into TMNT during the red sky era in 1996-1997. And then again during my senior year of high school in 1999.

Here's Sweden

(with some other titles)

*pferreira* · 07-26-2018, 03:52 PM

On closer inspection it seems that site is missing a number of the VHS releases. Anyway here's the one I mentioned before:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Teenage-Mut...t+Hero+Turtles

Also this would make any kid's Saturday morning although I don't remember The Adventures of T-Rex:

I remember having a big poster with this artwork (but with a different background) on a wall in my room during my childhood here in Italy. I would love to find a good quality hi-res image of it.

Oh really? I thought those were exclusive UK artwork for the VHS tapes. Interesting...

My parents bought it somewhere here in Italy in early 90s. As far as I can remember there was no text on it. Maybe only the tmnt logo but I don't know if it was "ninja" or "hero" turtles.

I guess most Hero Turtles material was edited in the UK, to be spread all over other European countries.

And here you can see another version of that artwork:

This one looks more refined. My poster had the same drawing but with a street scene on the background.

I've seen many of images of the turtles riding that motorcycle (not just the Agatha Marbles episodes) which was later made a toy, usually as advertisement in comics.
