90’s Athena Turtles print range

Whilst having a clear-out, I came across this postcard from an old collection.

UK art retailer Athena at one stage had a wide range of Hallmark style shops across the UK dealing in various print media. During the original ‘Hero Turtles’ craze the company produced a range of Posters, Postcards, Greeting Cards and Plastic wallet size cards featuring in-house produced artwork of the brothers.

With the postcard pictured above, you can see UK censors have also been at it again. Donatello’s bo-staff has been edited out and replaced with a long piece of jerky.

Some more of Athena’s Turtle art can be viewed via this ebay auction here.

To all those attending ComiCon this year, “Avva Good un'” as we say in Bristol. July 10th on a personal note is also my birthday, and its awesome to have a little extra that day to look forward to seeing even in the capacity of an internet spectator. I will certainly be watching the TMNT Panels.

Enjoy the event, the collectable clutter you can bring home, but most importantly the company of the people you mix with whether ‘fan’ or ‘famous’.

I’ll join you one day.

Turflytle, BUZZ! BUZZ!!

Waddingtons, Hero Turtles Card Game 1990

Whilst hunting for treasure at the Fathers Day Car Boot sale I came across this gem. – The Waddingtons Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles card game!!!

Waddingtons used to distribute many major name board game licenses in the UK before they went defunct in 1994.

I had this card set for my birthday in 1990 and it was a favorite non-action figure TMHT item piece of my old fan collection. Nearly 25 years later I spent just £1 to buy this part of my childhood back and am happy to share it.

Sorry for the poor auto-cropping on some of these scans. I intend to post better scans of the full set artwork in a later entry Watch this space!
