PORTRAIT OF KOOKIE KAVALRY LEO
The Reveille-blowin’ Reptile!

VITAL KOOKTISTICS:

Accessories: Kowabunga Katana Blade Banner, Bodacious Bugle, Power Packed Pistol, Side-slung Sword, Bogus Belt with Sewer Scabbard
Favorite Food: Pizza Jerky
Favorite Song: Pizza on the Range

He’s off key, but in tune with Turtle Power! He’s Kookie Kavalry Leo, the reveille blowin’ battle boy who can lead a kowabunga charge right into the hideous heart of the Foot camp. No Turtle troop is safe without this left-handed leader swingin’ his way into untamed territory. He’s a Mutant marksman with his powder packed pistol – a classic Mutant military weapon so powerful, some say it blew the hole into the Grand Canyon. Wow! Now that’s a weapon! And once the Foot have been horse-whipped, Leo likes to wave his kowabunga katana blade banner around just to let everyone know he’s one tough cookie. With all these wacky weapons, you can be sure this military master’s got it all under control. So listen closely, cuz when you hear reveille, it’s time to join Leo and charge, charge, charge!

The Salty Sewer Sailor!

Accessories: Sewer Sea Gull, Dynamic Duffel Bag, Power-Packed Puddle Paddle, Anti-Foot Flag
Favortie Ship: U.S.S. Pizza

No ship is safe from sinking in the sewers without Midshipman Mike. He’s the salty sewer sailor who can swim, swashbuckle and swab the deck – all without getting his “duds” dirty! This briny battle boy is ready for high sea adventure. Mike will paddle the punks and send ’em all straight to Davy Jones’ locker. Yes, the waterways will always be sewer safe as long as Midshipman Mike’s on the deck. So, ahoy you mutant mateys and don’t make waves, make way… for Midshipman Mike!

PORTRAIT OF RAPH, THE GREEN TEEN BERET
The Toughest Tactical Turtle!

Accessories: Whip Cream Pistol, Plunger Gun, Anti-Foot Flag, Biting Bulldog Buddy
Favorite Hero: Gomer Reptile
Favorite Weapon: Bare hands

Like a silent green ghost parachuting in the dead of night, Raph is the toughest tactical Turtle to take on the Foot. Trained to tenderize Shredder and rescue April, this guerilla-gripped green good guy always completes his secret sewer mutant missions. Sabotage and espionage are the tools of his trade; for a true Green Teen Beret needs not the weapons of wicked warriors. No, rather, Raph uses his justifiable jungle sense and super soldier skills to make his bare hands his greatest weapon. But if the goin’ gets really rough, Raph’s got wacky weapons to fool the Foot. One shot from his whip cream pistol and he’s just chopped nuts and a cherry away from a victory sundae. So raise the anti-Foot flag high – and wave it proudly. Democracy rules, dudes!

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 xv (( 1988 ))

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.
