Check out some random “Hero” Turtles merch you may not have seen before or might remember from back in the day. My favourite peice is the bathroom, soap and bubblebath set (though the container is empty!). Also, the Activity Pack was a fun series of colouring books and activity sets depicting some fantastic lineart based on the 1987 animated series.
No Nunchucks here, this was 90’s Britain. Swords and Sais are okay though.
–>> As of our first ( and semi – rare,,i know, sorry guys. Hard times right now. ) speacial-feature post of 2020 , i wana high-lite Independent artist, toy customizer and designer “Duzmachines84”. He modified the 2013 PLAYMATES TOYS TMNT: Classics 6″ scale Bebop & Rocksteady ‘ NEAR COMPATIBLE ‘ accessory molds. Rocky’s Army Motorcycle Helmet and Bebop’s Turtle Shell Drill. These are to supplement the alien weapons that are included in the **NECA Target Exclusive 2 pack.
The 2013 helmet for Rock was almost a good fit, but the 2019 figure’s head is a little larger than the somewhat leaner ’13 figure noggin, so the helmet is not of the best fit . Remolding, slight flattening, and cell-style color paint matching presents an almost near perfect, TMNT season one screen-accurate look for the mutant Rhino.

..original 2013 “Classics” ROCKSTEADY
Bebop’s iconic Turtle Shell Drill from his original 1988 Figure was recreated for the 2013, highly stylized release.
The drill fits perfectly but Duz’s remold and cell-based paint-matched drill looks like it popped right off the TMNT T.V. Toon ready to drill holes in those Toiitles’ pretty little shells !! !!

DUZMACHINES 84 is one of the most innovative, indy-toy creators and customizers i’ve met within the past decade. Always frustratingly talented, friendly and elevates the game with his NEW/OLD take and paint jobs on modern & vintage toys. So damned innovative, he really encourages his fellow artists to step up their game !! ARRGGH!! Damn, love the guy !! !!
