| Is there any way to identify the original soft-head turtles from the later moldings based on packaging? | ||

| Yes if you see a seam going down the middle of their heads they are not original soft heads | ||

| People also look to collect the "beaded nunchuk" versions of the 1988 Mikeys but I personally do not care or desire such figures I feel its hype over early editions of the accessories. Some accessories on tmnt figs can fetch huge dollars like Genghis Frog with the bagged grenades can fetch $2k or more | ||

| I had the entire set as a kid; got a huge Christmas present box w/ every TMNT figure, vehicle, playset, a couple jars of “ooze”. None of the packaging survived first contact with a four or five year old, though I did & do take extremely good care of my toys. Mom ended up donating them to University of Chicago Children’s Hospital to lighten the load before we moved cross-country. I wonder if they still have them... |

| They go for $100-$150 each, new in box, sealed. They are quite rare as opposed to the original 1993 release with yellow starburst on front of box art. Good find! I have Peter Lairds 1993 one, signed by Laird and Dan Berger from Mirage Studios |

Quote:Originally Posted by kaptainmyke With Eastman signing it, one would think he would touch up the back and authenticate the restore - especially for all the stuff you have him commission.....hmmmm.....sounds like fandom isn't "all that" after all.....*shrugs*..... This is not to say KE isn't a great artist, because he is, but just the way he expresses it to devout fans, well...these little things shouldn't be seen. IMO. Cheers....cools stuff Myke. |

| I've had a million people show it to me. I don't like it. They look ugly. And why would anyone get Kevin Eastman to sign or sketch on it either is beyond me. Cowabunga I guess |
