–>> Little collector guides like this have been pack-in check-list mainstays for action figures & toy lines since the 1980s in the very least; if not earlier. You prolly have several piling up from your current TMNT purchases with more than enough left over to give away to your pals & to line the bottom of the bird cage.

–>> Trivial observation: while it may have been a basic design choice, most K•B ads from back in the day..say 1980s and 1990s that Tokka recalls were illustrated like what we see here in this complete ad set. That may have been a cost saving measure as well. Or maybe it was just a printing choice of many retailers at the time. Countless stores had illustrated newspaper print ads for decades. You’ll still find them on occasion in newspapers and the like today. Most newspaper ads it seems are mostly photographic nowadays however.

I recall black & white print ads in newspapers say like in a classified page that were also illustrated for the toy store. I don’t think i have any photographic ads in my archives for K•B ( formerly ‘KAY•BEE’ ), unless they are from the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Not 100% sure, but this may be my only complete circular set for K•B nay for some random and loose pages. I don’t always get to post these COMPLETE ads as there is very time consuming process that takes a bite into my personal work. However, in the long run they are important pieces of TMNT advertising and toy history, if not just Toy history in general. A glimpse into the past of retail toy shopping in a per-internet shopping era.

Guessing things like this just really didn’t survive many recycling bins or rubbish collections just short of microfiche or someone saving them or what have you. It’s prolly beneficial to all when i do make the time to post ’em digitally.

Sometimes i am asked of the fate of K•B after the final bankruptcy and demise of the once iconic Mall TOY retailer in 2008.

TOYS ‘R’ US came in a year later to purchase all intellectual properties, names, iconography, logos, licenses, et al. like they had with the operations of the FAO Schwarz brand the same year.

Last seen K•B was used in SOME labeling within some TRU stores to possibly a lesser degree than the FAO Schwarz branded boutique set-ups in the retail stores right now. I’m not sure what products received that labeling or if that continues currently or into the future. Time will tell.

The stores became a staple for shopping centers and malls in North America for decades and has burned into countless childhood memories including mine.
I’m sure a portion of the value of that iconography is what lead to the TRU purchase in ’09. That value may resonate into a major return of the K• B brand in some form or fashion some day.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: ROCKSTEADY & BEBOP { tOkKustom Punk touch-ups } xli // .. with '91 T.D. TOSSIN' LEO (( 2013 ))

 

☣ ☣

–>> Minor, touch-ups and vintage add-ons to match the prototypes OF THE CLASSICS ‘BOP & ROCKY a little bit better & enhance the figures. For some reason, i only painted one side of each of ‘circles & stripes’ on each of Bebop’s shoes. I may go back and change that later.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: ROCKSTEADY & BEBOP { tOkKustom Puck touch-ups } iii // ROCK' (( 2013 ))

Added to the customization : the ORIGINAL 1988 Rocksteady Manhole Cover Shield accessory, touched-up ..works relatively well with the Classics Rocky.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: ROCKSTEADY & BEBOP { tOkKustom Punk touch-ups } v // ROCK' (( 2013 ))

Minor tough-ups on grenade pin, and light-metallic on boots. Really small details.

The metallic touch-ups on ROCKY’s vintage ’88 Manhole Cover Shield look adequate.

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - CLASSIC COLLECTION :: ROCKSTEADY & BEBOP { tOkKustom Punk touch-ups } ix // ROCK's display base (( 2013 ))

Touch-ups on ROCKY & Bebop’s display bases. Originally it was just a one-toned grey colour. The Turtle’s Classics bases at least had a light wash – ‘Bop and Rock’s didn’t – – so i changed it.

“** Party & Paper Retailer is a national multimedia business magazine and website that provides the latest products and trends for the party, Halloween, costume, balloon, bridal and celebrations industries.”

–>> This actually is a mailing-label ‘alternate cover’ .. a removable piece of paper gently applied to the regular cover of the magazine. The real cover has a “JAZZY JEZEBEL” on it; a lovely “flapper” girl in a semi-risque 1920s – style costume.

Rubie’s Costumes among other companies feature in the magazine. Rubie’s acquired the TMNT License a little over a year ago as you may have seen as recently as this past Halloween. They also feature this “HALLOWEEN & PARTY EXPO” trade-ad spread with all their current and upcoming licenses for costumes and the like.
