and here we have a P.K. “SCRAMBLED VARIANT”. Not a “REAL” variant, but an unusual case of scrambled parts in a MOC package.

Li Yang’s broken appendages appear all over the insides of this plastic bubble either courtesy of Krang’s pan-dimensional brain scrambler device or one of Lord Shibo’s evil body-part mash-up spells.

This was received courtesy of P.K.’s courtesy of Li’s co-creator; Monica Sharp.

And it would appear the real culprit of this “variant” is poor assemblage. After Li left the factory – stress and settling during shipping just sent him all to pieces.

This really breaks Tokka’s heart so i’ve set to repair him.

Plus it gives us a brief glimpse at the inner workings of the construct of a vintage TMNT figure.

Taking the Foot (and occasional Turtle) from zero to battle, the Ninja Battle Boost powered predator has got a throttle to flip for! Built to trash enemies at every turn, the Dragon Chopper offers no escape. On the ground or in the air – with one flip,the enemy is toast.

approx. 10 x 12″, 4″ depth

–>> One of two Turtles collector cases made by Tara i know of. The slightly larger 1990 “DELUXE” TMNT case boasts holding 20 figures and has more familiar Lavigne/Brown style guide art decor.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE iv (( 1988 ))This one boasts holding 12 figures & accessories, but i guess that’s theoretically true depending on the size of the figs & how many weapons and such are crammed into the 2 brittle, plastic inner trays.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE v (( 1988 ))

I barely remember when i obtained this, it was so long ago. I think might have twisted my ma’s arm to pick it up for me at the Salvation Army for like 50 cents when i was still in high school or summin’.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE x (( 1988 ))This case here with the weird lookin’ Turtle graphics has seen allot of action and ware. It came without the cheap plastic handle the deluxe case has ( or similar, vintage collector cases for like Hot wheels, Real Ghostbusters, He-Man or G.I. Joe. ect. also made by Tara ).

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE xvi (( 1988 ))

Those handles are awful anyway and in my experience with them when i was a boy was that they always fell out if TOO MUCH WEIGHT of the toys within’ gave gravity the advantage. The dang case would fall off from the handle in transit with dropping the case on the ground. Sometimes the case would open spilling the toys.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE xix / inner trays (( 1988 ))

The top inner tray was the most damaged and is still cracked, but the worst of the cracks have been repaired with some household epoxy and clear packing tape.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE xxii / inner trays (( 1988 ))

Initially for years the handle i had used an old ribbon that just didn’t really quite work well as a holding mechanism and looked like crap.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE xxiii / inner trays (( 1988 ))

Within’ the past year i replaced the ribbon with a jury-rigged handle made from shipping twine & and a broken piece of an old leather belt.

Tara Toy Corp. :: "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" - COLLECTORS CASE xxv / jury-rigged handle (( 1988 ))The old box still shows it’s age and ware, but the newer handle looks ascetically a little bit better. With the repairs, the ol’ case still does the job.
