Talkin' Turtles (And Trek)
With Karl Aaronian, Playmates Vice-President Of Marketing
conducted by Jim Main
Playmates has rapidly become one of
the collector's favorites, not only due to
the fact that they put so much work into
their figures, but also because their
company acknowledges and demonstrates
their appreciation to the collector market.
Since this issue primarily focuses upon
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line,
we thought an interview with the
company that produces those particular
figures would be something of interest.
Through the help of Ron Antonette and
the public relations company Berkhemer,
Kline, Golin, and Harris, we were able to
schedule a conversation with Karl
Aaronian of Playmates Toys; a man who
has been overseeing the evolution of the
Turtles series since his first day on the
job. He is also in charge of marketing
the Star Trek: The Next Generation line
as well, a factor which continuously pops
up during this interview.
CT &V: Karl, I understand you just
recently received a promotion?
KA: Yes!
CT&V: Vice President in charge of
Marketing?
KA: That's correct.
CT &V: How long have you worked
for Playmates?
KA: Since the fall of '86.
CT &V: So, you've been there since
the acquisition of the Turtles line.
KA: Right. I was'hired to work on the
Turtles once they signed up the license.
CT&V: Now how did the whole deal
for the Turtles come about?
KA: Well,there are numerous stories
about this ... I wasn't here at the time they
actually acquired [the license], but shortly
after. Basically, the president of the
company, Richard Saliss, had a past
relationship, I believe, with the Matchbox
and the Robotech license [via] the
Turtles' licensing agent, Mark Freedman.
CT &V: Of Surge Licensing?
KA: Correct. They knew each other
pretty well, and Mark came to him with
CT&V Page 18
Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
the Turtles license.
At the time,
Playmates was known for its doll and
pre-school line. We'd gotten into the
promotional end of the business with
some of our animatronic dolls in the mid80s. The action figure category at that
time had kind of run its course with the
Transformers. G.!. Joe was still around,
but Masters Of The
Universe,
Thundercats, all of the fantasy figure
lines had run their courses, and so a lot
of the major players kind of left it open
at that point.
Richard Saliss saw an opportunity
for Playmates to get into the category
without having to necessarily go "head to
head" with the big boys, and all the
budgets that that requires. [Sallis] also
saw an opportunity to do something
different in the action figure category,
where everything up to that point had
been very hard-edged, kind of dark and
threatening, with the one exception
probably being Ghostbusters. There was
an opportunity to do the opposite end of
the spectrum ... kind of light-hearted, kind
of wacky, kind of fun.
CT &V: And, something very unique
in concept as well!
KA: Yeah, and with Turtles, it seemed
like it was a perfect opportunity to take
that original concept from the comic
book, which was really targeted more
towards the teenager and young adult,
and skew it down to a younger child. A
lot of that was done through the cartoon
show by using the whole story with a lot
of kid humor (the "cowabungas" and all
of that).
CT & V: Basically, the comic book
itself had a darker overtone than the
cartoon show, which was very lighthearted.
KA: I wouldn't say "darker", but I
would say [that it was] definitely harder
edged. Most of the elements that made it
a success definitely were in the original
comic book, which was the brotherhood,
the teamwork of the four Turtles. They
were younger, and were basically doing
things that kids could relate to instead of
maybe like a He-Man character who was
[in his] mid-to-late twenties. These were
teenagers, and they did a lot of things
that a teenager would be into. The
television show basically just took that
[concept] and mined it for all it was
worth, including adding the true "kid
element." But, the basics, like the ninja
action, the brotherhood, the teamwork
and the classic mentor' character of
Splinter... the bottom line is [that]
visually there was something quite
different going on there.
CT&V: I'd certainly have to agree
with that!
KA: What's interesting is that when we
first tried to sell it to our buyers, the
reaction was very mediocre. We got
kicked out of a couple of retailers. We
went out on the road [in] late 1987 to sell
the concept, and quite frankly, I was
TALKIN'TURTLES
Collectible Toys & Values
flying back and updating my resume at
that point!
There was not an
overwhelming response. It built [up]
slowly; it was not an overnight success
like a lot of people may think. That's
definitely not the way it happened. The
comic book was very popular, but more
towards a cult-ish market; they were
probably peaking at 100,000 copies of
the book for every issue.
especially for Turtles, is that it isn't the
little features that Playmates adds to the
characters that make them popular, and
it's not the marketing that makes them
popular, it's the characters themselves!
The creators infused these guys with so
much personality, and these. are such
strong characters; not just the four
Turtles, but Splinter and Shredder... that's
what made this work. Otherwise they're
just four green turtles.
CT&V: And, I've got to say that at
that time, and up to now, especially
with all that's out on the market, for a
black and white independent comic,
that's considered to be a godsend!
KA: They started a whole trend in the
black and white market, no doubt about
it, but for mass market, you still couldn't
say that it was a phenomenon.
CT & V: Ah, but for what they call
direct sales, it was quite big!
KA: Absolutely. And, it gave us a
phenomenal concept, but the comic book
sales also gave us an indication that
there's something working here,
something clicking with people. You
like having that evidence that there's
something going on here, that people are
responding to [the concept].
CT & V: In the beginning, Playmates
probably never imagined that Turtles
would evolve into something as big as
it has become.
KA: Not a chance. If anybody ever
goes into any action figure line with that
in mind, I think they're kidding
themselves. There's no way to predict a
success of that magnitude.
CT&V: Just how much control do
Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the
creators of the Turtles, have over the
toy line, if any?
KA:
Well, from the standpoint of
approval, they have total control, and
have to see everything.
From the
standpoint of their input, it really
depends. There's Kevin, Peter, and their
staff of guys that work for Mirage
Studios. When it comes to new nonTurtles characters or new non-Turtles
mutants [in the Turtles series], they have
a tremendous amount of input. When it
comes to just different themes that are
applied to Turtles, different mechanisms,
vehicles, and action figures we give the
Turtles, that normally comes out of
Playmates.
Peter Laird's first "Turtle"
Playmates that make up the toy world of
the Turtles. Are there characters that
Playmates itself has created for the line?
KA: Oh, sure.
CT & V: Off the top of your head,
could you name some?
KA: Mutagen Man, Ace Duck, Muck
Man, Pizza Face, and Chrome Dome just
to name a few.
CT & V: Have any of these appeared
anywhere else, like on the cartoon
show for example?
KA: On and off, most of the secondary
characters have appeared on the Turtles
show. But really, the show itself is
important just in terms of developing
some of these characters, and that's
what's really been interesting. I think
what's true about most action figures,
CT & V: One of the most noticeable
thing about the Turtles line is that
they're very finely detailed figures.
You can take a Turtles figure and
compare it to some others, and right
off the bat, you can notice how much
work and pride has gone into it. Much
of this is due to the sculptors you have
working on them. Could you tell me
how many different sculptors you have
working on this line?
KA: Well, first of all, Playmates is kind
of a unique operation [in which] we have
no in-house sculptors ...
CT & V: Everything is freeleance in
that regard?
KA: Everything's freelance. Now, there
has been a few people working in-house
on Turtles for the last few years, but no
designers, no sculptors, or model makers
in house. It's pretty much a unique setup. There's a couple guys [who] have
sculpted probably 90% of all the Turtles
figures, and as much as we're involved,
I think the key to the Turtles is definitely
the sculptors. I don't know how other
toy companies work, per se, but if most

back on the main focus here, which is
Turtles.
KA: You got it!
CT&V: Here's a stumper for you,
Karl: Off the top of your head, how
many different Turtles figures do you
think you've produced?
KA: That's a good question. You know,
one day we actually did add them all up
and I would have to say, off the top of
my head, maybe 150. That's a big guess.
We put over fifty new figures last year in
. the catalog, and I'm looking in this
year's catalog right now, where we have
77 ... Now I'd have to say over 200,
because the last two years we did about
130.
CT &V:
And this is, of course,
including all the many different
variations on the Turtles themselves,
and April, of course.
KA: Yes, which has, of course, become
a big part of it.
CT &V: Well, why not? If it can work
for Kenner, and their many different
5th Anniversary Leonardo
Batman variations, it can work here,
too!
KA: Sure. That's been one of the keys
to Turtles, too. With Batman, you have
one very strong character and everybody
else is fine, but not as strong a character
as Batman. With Turtles, you instantly
have four equally strong heroes.
CT & V: And some strong supporting
characters as well, such as April,
Splinter...
KA: ... and the bad dudes.
CT & V: Last year marked the fifth
anniversary of the Turtles toy line.
How well, in terms of sales, was that
TALKIN'TURTLES
received?
KA: Very well, I'd say.
Two things we did to
commemorate that occasion
was [that] we first issued a
special metalized figure on a
base, which was a P.R. piece
we sent out to the media, as
well as our buyers. Then
there was the actual Fifth
Annivesary Turtle on the
simulated wooden base that
was the mass market item.
CT &V: Those were all
collector numbered as well,
ifl recall correctly. That's
another topic we'll have to
discuss when we do that
Star Trek- related
interview- the special collector's
edition numbering system. You would
not believe how many readers have
written us with regards to various
situations they've encountered with the
numbers of the ST:TNG figures.
KA: From what standpoint?
CT&V: Some readers mentioned that
the figures that they acquired had no
number at all ...
KA: They'd better hang on to those!

If I could just
continue on this line, Karl,
one other reader
mentioned being in
possession of a figure with
two numbers!
One
number on each foot!
KA: Hmmm. I can't even
figure out that one. That's
ceratinly something rare.
CT&V: It's even on a bilingual card as the buyer
purchased it in Canada, I
believe.
KA: He's got something I

the accessories, however, it's a sticker on

CT&V: That's quite interesting. I was
under the impression there was a
sticker as well on the bottom of each of
the figures' feet. So it would be quite
conceivable for a figure or two or more
to be missed by the stamping machine.
KA: I'd say so. We didn't start off by

relatively
CT & V: W ~II, enough of
that.
KA: Right... back to Turtles.
CT &V: What figures in the Turtles
line do you know of that were
produced in lower numbers than
others? Not all your figures have the
same production numbers, do they?
KA: That is correct. All four of the
Turtles themselves [have the same
production numbers], unless in rare cases
like in the Turtle Games where the style
of the Turtles would click a little more
than some of the others. For instance,
Leonardo in that group wasn't selling as
well as some of the others. I can't really
remember the actual numbers, but when
it comes to non-Turtles figures, there's
definitely a wide,
wide variant.
Leatherhead was really backed up with
the original run; it was eventually phazed
out of the line. This is not to say that he
would not come back at some point.
CT&V: That's good to hear, and
something I was going to ask you
about. The characters that have these
seemingly lower production runs, the
characters that collectors have a hell of
a hard time locating, such as
Leatherhead and Baxter Stockman for
example, what good news can you give
.
us, if any, about them?
KA: Well, Baxter Stockman just started
shipping again, in limited quanities, about
a month ago. What we are planning to
do is taking some of the older characters,
and over time, phaze them into the
assortments for a limited time. There is
a problem with your retailers, and
rightfully so, that once a figure is phazed
out they aren't particularly happy to see
him come back into the line, but when
CT&V Page 21
TALKIN'TURTLES
we do it in limited quantities that's not a
problem. And the collectors love it too,
so ...
CT & V: They love it up to a certain
point just as long as there's a way to
distinguish between the original and
the later editions.
KA: I know the collectors prefer some
way to ... we have honestly become aware
of the importance .of the collector's
market, we should have always been
aware of it, and we certainly are now,
with Star Trek, but with Turtles, it won't
be a problem actually because they're all
on new green cards.
CT&V:
Okay, so that's the
distinguishing mark then. Now, we
have a question from one of our
readers who would like to know if
April O'Neil is really that popular a
character that you have to make all
these different figures of her?
KA: Originally, she was almost a closeout figure the first year of the Turtles.
She was another one that did not sell, but
as the cartoon and the movie established
itself, she has become one of the more
popular characters. Basically you have
the four Turtles who are the core of the
line, but Shredder, Splinter, April, Bebop,
Rocksteady, and the Foot Soldier are
very strong second tier characters, and
this is why you see so much of April
O'Neil. She has proven to be a very
strong figure with both the male and
female segment of the Turtles market.
She's always been an important character
because basically she's the Turtles'
liaison between our world and their
world, and over time, she's really been
built into being one of the more popular
characters.
CT &V: Many are dumbfounded as to
how she can afford so much cosmetic
surgery.
KA: Because she wears the same outfit
every time, that's why. She doesn't have
a big wardrobe.
CT&V: Oh, I don't know how true
that is; she's had some outfit changes
lately. Now since we're onto this
subject, could you explain the problem
that ensued with regard to the
placement of the word "Press" on
April's outfit which apparently caused
some commotion?
KA: Yeah, and you know what, it's
been awhile now. It had nothing to do
with that word being over her breast.
That was really never an issue, I don't
CT&V Page 22
even remember it being talked about.
Could you refresh my memory ... did we
add it later on or did we remove it later
on?
back to Star Trek really quick, that we
are shipping some of our new '93 Star
Trek figures with special Skybox
collector cards?
CT &V: I thought you removed it later
on.
KA: Well, mainly in those cases, it

effect.
KA: Well, they're just shipping out of

more than anything else.
the Orient now!
CT&V: So, you're saying there was
no truth to the claims that it was
removed due to parents who were up
in arms about the placement of the
word?
KA: Zero! Hey, I am a guy and so I do
notice things like making sure that the
products are not too tacky. For instance,
sometimes you'll see some of these
figures where a sculptor may have gotten
carried away, and we will literally paint
up the outfit to make sure that there's
Eastman's first "Turtle"
more coverage even though it doesn't
follow the sculpture, per se. But, when it
comes to that specific instance, that was
never an issue. It was either a case
where we were way over cost and the
printing had to be eliminated, or that with
this printing you need a relatively flat
surface and that the surface was not
lending itself to the printing and we were
worried about the clarity and that we
were actually able to achieve the printing
over time.
But, it never really had
anything to do with the breast issue.
CT & V:
Do you plan on adding
anything to the Turtles packaging in
the way of a premium, such as a
trading card or comic book insert?
KA: It's one of those things that is not
out of the realm of possibilities. It's one
of those impact type of premiums that
everybody loves. Did you know that,
CT & V: That's very good news. When
do you determine them to be here in
the U.S.?
KA: Retail:
now.
six to eight weeks from
CT & V: Any idea what figures will
make up this first new assortment?
KA: There'll be variations of the main
crew members.
CT & V: The crew in their original
uniforms you mean?
KA: Exactly.
CT & V: Well, it seems we keep coming
back to Trek here, so here's a question
that Ron Antonnette from the group
that reps your company (Berkhemer,
Kline, Golin, and Harris) wanted me to
ask you, and that is, "Why does the
figure of Riker have a torn uniform?"
KA: Well, he's the angry young man.
This guy gets into battles all the time,
and we wanted just to rough him up a
little bit. It happened over a battle for
Romulan Ale or something, but basically
it was to make him into more of an
action-oriented action figure which is the
way he is in in the show. The actor
himself loved it; he was excited when he
saw it.
CT&V: Let's get back to those Turtles
again, before they die from neglect!
Which would you say is the top seller
out of the four Turtles?
KA: You know, there's never been a
pattern.
CT &V: Really? No preference at all,
eh?
KA: We always try to guess, but there's
never been any obvious kind of sales
pattern at all amongst the four Turtles at
all. If we ever have to make a call on it,
we'd say Leo (because he's the leader),
we'd say Mike (because he's the party
dude), but Raph gets a lot of great
sarcastic lines because of the show.
Usually we place Don last because he's
the more scientifically-natured guy, and
kids might not play with him as much,
but overall,
nobody
stands out.
Everything is pretty much equal.
TALKIN'TURTLES
CT &V:
Before, we talked about
Leatherhead, which you said was
eventually phazed out of the line. Was
this just due to him not being as
popular a character?
KA: It didn't sell.
CT&V: Because it didn't sell, the
figure is now one of the most
collectible, in demand action figures to
date.
KA: That's true, and because they may
not sell over a period of a couple months
and they back up and basically you say,
"that's enough, we're out of the
Leatherhead business" but overall, the
number of Leatherheads shipped is
relatively small, versus some of the other
characters that we shipped over two or
three years. But he was not a popular
character in the action figure line.
CT & V: Why were changes in the Ray
Fillet character made?
KA:' That was another matter of costs.
The color change was unbelieveably
expensive.
Given our, especially
considering the competition, our low
price point even in our basic Turtle figure
assortment we found out that the cost of
the color change was just way out of
line.
CT & V:
I have a question again
concerning the sculpting area, and that
has to do with the turn around time
per sculpture. How long would you
say it takes one of your artists to
complete a work?
KA: You know, it's one of those things
where we're using a couple of groups
that sculpt the majority of the figures and
they aren't working on anyone figure all
at one time, so they do a little bit of
work on one figure and go to the next, so
something like that is a little hard to
determine. My guess is, from the initial
starting point, which, for them, is to build
an armature and start the clay all the way
throughout the final tooling pattern that
we would send to the Orient for the
tooling ... my guess would be about eight
weeks. And that is a long time. If one
person spent all their time on one figure
it would probably end up being a few
weeks, but I would say on the average it
takes eight weeks.
CT&V: It looks to me like we're
nearing the end here, Karl, so perhaps
maybe you could enlighten our readers
with some information as to what you
have planned for the line in '94 and
beyond?
KA: We se~ Turtles, as every toy
company hopes,as a basic in the action
figure catagory with or without
continuing movies or cartoon shows.
Turtles is very much a traditional action
figure I ine with the basic good versus
evil play but it's also a new kind of
action figure line almost somewhat like a
Trolls line where a lot of people, both
kids and adults, are collecting the Turtles
in their various guises. So it has that
added element that I don't think any
other action figure line has, which is that
somewhat novelty element. And it's our
job, of course, to continue to come out
with good, exciting products to keep it
fresh. And, I think you're going to be
seeing a tremendous line for '94, a
tremedously broad line. I mean this year,
I think I mentioned we're introducing 77
new figures and we'll be just as agressive
next year.
CT &V:
Being a big monster toy
collector, I'm looking forward to the
Universal Monster Turtles you have
coming out this year, no doubt
scheduled for a pre-October release.
KA: Yep, that'll probably retail during
September. And we're also coming out
with, which I think are some of the more
exciting things for this year, the Ninja
Action Turtles, which I think are going to
be phenomenal. Then a couple of the
new Mutations Turtles such as the Road
Ready Mutations, where they mutate
from Turtles into vehicles.
CT &V: And you have a Mutating
April figure this year as well, don't
you?
KA: Yep, which actually I believe is
shipping right now, so she should be here
any day.
CT & V: Alert the media!
KA: Alert the media ...
CT&V: ... April O'Neil has just left the
building!
KA: That one is going to be a surprising
one, because seeing it mutate will be
kind of interesting. And then for the
action figure accessories, a really great
one is the Ninja Grappler.
CT &V: Ha, I saw that in action at the
Toy Fair...I couldn't believe how fast
that was!
KA: That was an old Tomy item we
picked up. I worked on that when I was
at Tomy actually. It's probably the best
action figure attack vehicle I've ever
seen. It's dynamite.
CT & V: Karl, I would like you to know
that I truly appreciate you taking the
time from your schedule to allow me
the privelage of conducting this
interview with you. Much success to
you as well as Playmates. I look
forward to talking with you again soon
for our Star Trek issue. Thanks again.
KA: You're welcome!

TMNT Collecting Tips
You have probably heard
the story concerning the
origination of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles about a
thousand times by now.

they then named each of the
four after their favorite
renaissance painters, and scraped
together enough funds to publish
a few thousand copies of a black
and white comic book based on
these anthropomorphic creatures.
The fad soon caught on with
comic book readers and they
were able to increase their
number of publications. Laird

miniature figures of the "fab

It is at this point that the
cartooning team crossed paths
with Mark Freedman who
worked out a deal for the
licensing rights. The rights were
then sold to Playmates for the
purpose of their producing an
action figure line, and the rest is
history.
The genesis of this multimillion dollar concept is about
as plausible as the premise for
The Beverly Hillbillies. But this
is America, where someone
. occasionally gets lucky "beyond
. the dreams of avarice," and
turns those rags to riches. The
rest of us just keep struggling
along at our mundane jobs such
as, for instance, publishing a
magazine. The artists certainly

made a bundle. In past years, they might
have sold .the rights to the Turtles for a
few thousand instead of licensing them.
There are a few snags when it comes
to collecting the Turtles.
The first
problem is that the early Turtle products
(those produced before the 1988
Playmates licensed figures) are practically
impossible to find because they are so
scarce, and the recent licensed products
are so numerous and were produced in
such quantity that they have little
investment value. You can find TMNT
products in every toy store, drug store,
and grocery store. You can't possibly
collect all of them, even if you wanted
to, so don't try. Look for .those things
you like! This is always the smart way
to collect because . others will probably
like many of the same things .
The Playmates TMNT line of figures
is consistently attractive, well detailed,
fun, and fairly cheap. The popUlarity of
these figures is a phenomenon in itself,
and there are many excellent collector
values, but with over 200 figures

"C Type" package back
produced and more coming every month,
be selective. We have rewritten and
revised our detailed examination of the
early TMNT figures (published in issue
#4) in order to give you as much
guidance as possible.
TMNT action figures are the most
imaginative, best detailed and best
equipped figures being produced. Early
TMNT figures, now in very short supply,
are good bets for collecting.
Furthermore, the relatively
scarce non-Turtle characters are
much more likely to increase in
value in the future. If you are
interested in future value, don't
open the blister pack! A figure
out of the original package is
worth only 25% of the value in
our CT& V listing.
In early 1990, Wingnut and
Screwloose, Mondo Gecko, Muckman
and Joe Eyeball, and Scwnbug were
added. Their packages (Type D) depict
24 characters (April is back), plus the
four Wacky Action Turtles at the top.
These new figures were all produced in
great quantity because by now the TMNT
figures were very popular.
The current figures date
back to 1988, and the best
collecting values will generally
be in the earliest figures. The
vintage of a TMNTcharacter can
be determined from the package
back.
The earliest packages
(Type A) depict ten characters
(the four Turtles plus April
O'Neil, Splinter, Bebop,
Shredder, Foot Soldier &
Rocksteady), and have a 1988
copyright date. We were able to
obtain all of them in local stores
in 1991 and early 1992, but they
are scarce now. The original
April figures are notoriously in
short supply. Splinter, Bebop,
and Rocksteady were reissued in
1990 packages, so the Type A package
version is scarce.
(All the package
''Types'' are CT& V's own notati on.)
Later in 1990, three more Wacky
Action figures were added, along with
Panda Khan, Napoleon Bonafrog,
Fugitoid, Mutagen Man, Slash, and
Triceraton. Mutagen Man (and others)
were released in packages (Type E) that
have 7 Wacky action figures at the top, 4
in the first row & 3 in the second row.
Slice 'n Dice Shredder, and Creepy
Crawlin' Splinter come in large packages
(Type W2) with 7 Wacky Action figures
and are scarce, but most of the other
characters are still plentiful in locations
that have any older figures.
Still later in 1990, Mike the Sewer
Surfer, Leo the Sewer Samurai, Don the
Undercover Agent, Ray Fillet, Donatello
with Storage Shell, Raph the Space
Cadet, and Pizzaface were introduced.
The four Turtles in this batch were
shipped in exceptionally large quantities,
and are the ones most frequently
discounted. Several of the early
The first additions to the line were
Ace Duck, Genghis Frog, Baxter
Stockman, and Krang. These
figures were produced for
several years in their original
packages (Type B), which have
14 characters depicted and are t1~) ~~;;'"
dated 1989. You can probably . . ~~~::.,,»...
find some of them even today.
~~< ~
Never mind the earliest TMNT
figures that came with the ''Turtle Force"
fan club flyer, as they are already in the
hands of collectors and you can't find
them in any store. (You will have to go
to a show or a dealer if you want any of
these figures, and even then, we don't see
many of them at shows.) It would be a
lot cheaper to go to the local toy store,
and start a collection of the current
Playmates line of figures.
If you are going to collect TMNT
figures, you should first look for
characters in the toy stores, and, if not
found there, then consider paying that
extra dollar to a dealer. This article is
designed to help you by informing you of
the availability or scarcity of these
figures.
Figures of the four Turtles are much
more plentiful than the other characters,
so don't pay a premium price for them.
The next additions were
Casey Jones, Usagi Yojimbo,
Metalhead, Leatherhead, General
Traag, and Rat King. Their
packages (Type C) have 19
characters (April is omitted) and ".~~.illlI.Ili;.~=_~~.;~~.
are dated 1989. We have never ..
located a Leatherhead figure,
primarily because none were
distributed in 1992 (even though
the figure was included in the
Playmates 1992 catalog along
with the others listed above).
The first "Wacky Action"
turtles were introduced in late
1989 in bigger packages (Type
W 1) that have four figures at the
top.
The Wacky Walkin'
Mouser is by far the scarcest,
but the others can occasionally
be found.

COLLECTING TMNT
of Machine Gunnin' Rocksteady,
and Headspinnin' Bebop. They,
along with the Headdroppin'
Turtles, come in the larger size
package. Similarly packaged are
the four Talkin' Turtles. The
types of figures that come in the
larger packages generally cost
about $1.50 more than the
regular figures.
Most of the figures in the
larger package lines (Wacky
Action, Head Droppin', Talkin',
etc.) are Turtles and were quite
common on the toy store racks
for a long time since they were
'produced in huge quantity.
However, the non-Turtle figures:
Slice 'N Dice Shredder, Creepy
Crawlin'
Splinter, Machine
Gunnin'
Rocksteady,
and
Headspinnin'
Bebop
(all
"Wacky Action" figures) are
fairly scarce, and may prove to
be a good investment.
"F type" package back
characters were reissued in 1990
packages, and these versions are fairly
common (except for April). The seven
Wacky Action figures are depicted at the
top of these packages (Type F), two in
the first row and 5 in the second. Ray
Fillet is notoriously hard to find. Keep
looking for the earlier packs, as these are
the best investment.
Many ''Type F' packages say
"NEW!" on the left side. In 1991 and
early 1992, even a casual inspection of a
rack of TMNT figures in a toy store
revealed how plentiful figures in these
packages were. During the same period,
Ray Fillet went through several figure
and package changes as the original
color-changing version was hard to
produce.
The earliest package says
"A wesome Mutant Color Change," and is
the one to get, but all versions are
collectible.
In 1992, all new releases
were produced in large
quantities and are easy to obtain
with a little looking.
A
particular figure may be hard to locate,
but this is primarily due to the over 200
different figures produced to date. 1993
continues this pattern, and we don't think
any of the recent figures will ever be
scarce, except perhaps for the Mutatin'
(non-Turtle) figures. However, there are
some new items worthy of collector
interest. A few of the vehicles, such as
the Channel 6 News Van, the Movie III
warhorses, and the Cave Turtles now
come with special edition figures. These
are more expensive items, and are not
produced in anything I ike the massive
quantity of regular figures.

Type F packs were used for reissues of
many early characters & are common.
All are CRP. Therl are many package
types for the later figures. The most
recent is a "pizza back" with all of the
figures on their own pepperoni slice.
Many early figures (and 1992 figures)
have been re-released on these packages.
Late 199o/early 1991, additions to
the TMNT line were the four Turtles with
"Storage Shells," Walkabout, Wynn,
Groundchuck, Dirtbag, and Chrome
Dome. These come in a package (Type
G) with Walkabout as the first listed
figure. Tattoo was also added at this
time in a package (Type G 1) that lists
him first. Also added at this time (more
or less) were the Wacky Action figures

However, there is some chance of finding the
rest of the figures. The prices below reflect our
best estimate of these possibilities. Figures listed
IS "CRP" (Current Retail Price) can be found
w"hout great difficulty, so look for them at your
local toy stores first. Figures priced between
$5.00 and $10.00 are hard to find in toy stores,
but not impossible. You will probably have to look
for them at toy shows and flea markets. Dealers
have costs of attending shows and mail-order
deale" have costs of printing catalogs, so their
prices may be slightly higher than those listed.
