Title: Help me ID these TMNT toys?
Post by: Khoufu on August 22, 2018, 11:16:10 PM
So, I'm pretty new to TMNT. I liked the old cartoon as a kid and was hunting down the turtles at the flea market. All I needed was Donatello, and my sister surprised me with a lot that had a few odd versions of he turtles, some sort of playset, and a few other characters. Sewer Samurai Leo and island vacation Mikey are straightforward enough, but I know absolutely nothing about the rest besides the original 4 turtles (and 2 of them are the soft head version!) There's a Mikey that twirls something in his hand, a wind-up Donnie, Raph with a hole in is shell and you can put some sort of object on his back and it spins...

Names, at the very least, would be appreciated.

I discovered that they made BASEBALL TMNT back in the 80's... what on earth was that all about... they have uniforms and baseball equipment...
Yeah the action figures were pretty weird! 

maybe this site will be of help?  https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigure?action=seriesitemlist&id=245

Considering they had TMNT as Star Trek characters, I'm not entirely surprised. I really want to find the Star Trek ones loose. The Trek figures made by Playmates are way cheaper MOC than their TMNT so I already have plenty of their accessories.

Thanks for the link.

Looks like I have Wingnut, Triceraton, Mindo Gecko, and Ace Duck. I have part of the playsets Sewer Army Tube and Footski.

TMNT was really unusual in that they actually made figures for ALL the characters in the TV show so it got kind of diverse and out-there.   I mean.... Farmer Turtles?  But it happened!

Characters on tv and more. Playmates tried to make a lot of diverse Star Trek figures too but ultimately stuck to fan favorites for that line for the most part. But did they make the toys because they had been on screen, or vice versa?
