I have been a huge TMNT (teenage mutant ninja turtles) fan , since i was a kid growing up in the 90s. I held on to some of my toys but i didnt keep any of the boxes, as i had no conception of keeping them for later in life, when they would be more valuable.

Maybe about 10 years ago, i started purchasing some new in box, figures and vehicles, off of ebay so i can stow away, and to stare at once in a while, out of pure nostalgia.

This 1st picture, thumbnail, is actually an official animation art of Shredder, the main villain in the series and movies. Its about 12x10 inches, since is hard to tell the size of in the picture.

Next, im going to show my prized, original set of 4 turtles, mint on card. Not perfect condition, but too far off actually. The holes are not punched, so these are unpunched cards.

Could be the most ridiculous picture ive ever taken of myself lol, but there ya go.

A more serious close up next.

The 4 original turtles. Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo, and Rafael.

The story of the turtles, mostly goes like this. 4 pet turtles, fell into a sewer, and mixed with a mutant ooze. They transformed alongside their mentor, Master Splinter. Like teenagers, loving pizza. They practiced martial arts. In comes the villain Shreddar, and a while other dimension. Many episodes ran in the original, animated episodes in the early 90s.

Such a great show, so many good memories. Many episodes later, there was a movie. Part 2, and part 3 came out. There have been many video games, early on Nintendo, and in arcades.

They had many toys, figures, and vehicles. Ill show some of my favorite vehicles next.

And present, the Turtle Van, and the Turtle Blimp. I had a short discussion about tmnt with @blanchy, and he said the word blimp. I knew exactly which he was talking about because i played with it outside, amazed by it, when i was just about 6 years old. This one here, along with the van are brand new and sealed, fairly good condition. Blanchy is a cool guy too, so if you dont have a follow on him, go ahead and check him out.

So the 4 main characters, 2 of the most famous vehicles. I have more, but im going to save it for a continuation post.

Im going to knock out like a bear in the woods. Hopefully some of you all find this cool. Keep up the posts, and the hustle.

Duck Out.

Wow what a funny photo you took with the TMNT! Hehe! They have a master too right?

Lol, thanks buddy. Yeah, master Splinter, the rat. Hes funny in the movies too. A dry sarcasm.

When I was a kid I had the Ninja Turtles house and Donatello was my favorite.
With this post of yours you brought me back in time and so thank you :)

Hey @captainquack22, here is a little bit of BEER from @libertycrypto27 for you. Enjoy it!

Did you know that you can use BEER at dCity game to **buy dCity NFT cards** to rule the world.

i don’t want to possibly upset you but i am just curious if you have seen the nsfw version of the cartoon

i am too young to really know the cartoon well, but i will never forget the short clip that someone showed in one of my first computer science classes in school LOL

@kitty4d those newsroom guys had a bit of a thing going. Id say Aprils colleague Vernon and Irma had some kinky shit going on.

Oh bell nah blanchman, Irma with those big glasses lookin sexy, Vernon was tryin to hit it lol

@kitty4d, ive never seen dear. Although there is a gangsta version of the turtles movies thats pretty hilarious. It might be called n**ga turtles, not to be incorrect, but it is dam funny, can find on youtube

Pamietam serial TMNT, był rewelacyjny, miałem kiedyś komiksy. Twoj artykuł przypomniał mi o tej świetnej marce. Może znajdę gdzieś ten serial i znów sobie przypomnę. Swoją droga ciekawa zdobycz masz z serialu :)

Man, its surprising i can read some polish. I think i understand mostly. The old cereal they used to have, i never had it but i know which one.

  • Człowieku, to zaskakujące, że mogę poczytać trochę po polsku. Myślę, że głównie rozumiem. Stare płatki zbożowe, które mieli, nigdy ich nie jadłem, ale wiem, które.

Im using google translate for these response though.

I wish i can go to poland someday soon. The U.S is trash nowadays. i want a nice polish wife lol

Thanks for your comment, cheers

  • chciałbym niedługo pojechać do Polski. Stany Zjednoczone to dziś śmieci. chcę mieć miłą polską żonę lol Dziękuję za komentarz, pozdrawiam

Haha love it. Love the photo as well. Its brilliant. Those figures are the ones i had actually. I must ask my mother if she put them in the attic. Still jealous of your blimp . Memories of me just staring at that box in the shop are coming flooding back to me. It was like the year that my parents got me a NES when the SNES hit down. Anyway some good memories there. Looking forward to the next post.

The photo LoL, almost forgot i took that 1 haha

Hellll yeah, the good ol days, simpler days. When crappy graphics were top notch. Thanks for your support, lets keep rockin. !PIZZA power! Cowabunga!

My sister and I had all 4 of the Ninja Turtles... Mikey was her favourite and Raphel was mine, although we played with them a lot. We also had the van which was really fun. I think we had Krang and the Robot Turtle too. Seeing these photos is bringing back a lot of fun memories... I think we played with these figures so much... for years.

Thats awesome aussieninja, its a blast from the past. A radical ride, from tubular times lol.

Krang is a classic for sure. Hes kind of the main villain too. Good memories, and we can only keep rockin on for more good times too brotha, thanks.
