In the fall of 2019, Season 3 of Netflix's "The
Toys That Made Us" kicked off with a very special episode
focusing on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, causing prices of
vintage toys and comics to rise even higher than ever before.
Also in 2019, Peter Laird has retired from signing any Mirage
Studios comics and toys that have sold from their archives located
at their headquarters in Northhampton, MA. Any toys or comics
signed by Peter Laird can be considered quite rare and unobtainable
to most collectors.
I have compiled a
checklist of sorts displaying rarity and desirability regarding
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) action figures
line-up spanning from 1988-1997. The manufacturers are Playmates
for the US releasees and Bandai or Takara for
the Japan releases. Mirage Studios licensed the
creative properties to the toy manufacturers and sometimes paid
for their own releases to be made by Playmates as well.
Use this list as a guide to visibly display what's hot and what's
not in the Ninja Turtle collector world. Most
links will turn up with zero results,
so you will need to click on "completed"
or "sold" to use as a basis
for rarity and availiability. You may
need to loosen some search phrases as well. For instance, change
"tmnt 1994 mutant military combo turtle copter cycle"
and shorten it down to simply, "tmnt mutant military combo
copter". I have also compiled a guide for the most desireable
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Action figures here at this most
valuable TMNT action figure price guide.
