DARK HORSE COMICS:: “Flaming Carrot” Action Figure (( 1999 ))

DARK HORSE COMICS:: "Flaming Carrot" Action Figure i (( 1999 ))

–>> Tokka has misplaced Carrot’s 2 little, unimpressive ‘stink-bombs’. I still have ’em, i just couldn’t locate ’em in time before shooting.

Wingnut’s grenade is just a placeholder for the display in lieu of the missing bombs.

**From the official Flaming Carrot site and based off what little i recall, after many delays and production issues ( and much frustration from Bob & his fans ), Carrot was moved over to Dark Horse from Antarctic for release at the very tail end of the 1990s.

 

DARK HORSE COMICS:: "Flaming Carrot" Action Figure // ..ebay pic (( 1999 ))The scale was also increased from the planned 4″ to 6″ maybe to keep up with the trend for these “Marvel Legend” scaled figures put out by smaller toy companies. A trend that seemed to be really popular during this little window of time.

Flaming Carrot Action Figure

“Ut! One of the original members of Bob Burden’s Mysterymen is coming to life as an action figure. We have secured the rights to this previously-announced but never produced action figure. We have expanded the size from the former 4 inches to a more dynamic 6 inches, but retained the amazing accoutrements such as the atomic pogo stick, stink bomb and of course the astounding light-up “flame” effect at the top of the carrot’s head. Packed on a colorful backing board with genuine plastic blister-bubble, this pvc powerhouse is springing your way in October.”

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

☣ ☣

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.

For birds that don’t require hand support, me thinks it viable to actually hang the bird feeder at a slightly higher point like say on a tree limb or what have you.

–>> .. incredible !!

032012;'SHELL SHOCK WEEK' :: #TMNT David has been doing the IDW Micro Series covers

Despite Tokka’s atrocious scent, in March ..Tokka and his pals at **Cowabunga Corner were given a unique chance to meet up with famous author and illustrator of Mouse Guard / TMNT-Micro series main cover artist *** David Petersen !!

 

C.C. was there for an  interview with Mouse Guard’s creator and we did get see some original TMNT & non work for IDW’s Micro’s. Also included in David’s portfolio was his original work for the Splinter Micro one-shot due this summer & the yet to be released Casey Jones one-shot art. Unfortunately we were not allowed to photograph in any way the kick – a$$ raw Casey art. PHOOEY !!

Still, visiting with David was incredibly intriguing and informative !!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, DAVID !!
