Most Valuable Ninja Turtles TMNT Toys PRICE GUIDE

updated (2022)

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 the most valuable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) action figures line-up spanning from 1988-1997. The manufacturers are Playmates for the US releases 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. This list isn't complete, and changes all the time depending on current market trends. Use this list of most valuable ninja turtles action figures as a guide to lead you in the right direction. This is a checklist of the most valubale TMNT toys on the internet. Prices are soaring each year, too! With each new version of the cartoon series or movie franchise - the original vintage turtles are going up, up, up!

Use this list as a guide to visibly display the results of figures on ebay. 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. I have also compiled a guide for the most desireable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Action figures here at this action figure checklist guide.

Blue is common.
Green is rare.
Red is very rare.
Purple is ultra rare.
