Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 12-Figure Lot with Dented and Cracked Bubbles (Playmates, 1988-94)....

Description

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 12-Figure Lot with Dented and Cracked Bubbles (Playmates, 1988-94). This lot of 12 vintage TMNT action figures offers a cross-section of heroes, allies, and rare variants from Playmates' original run-each figure still sealed on card, though all exhibit varying degrees of bubble and card wear. The lot is split between figures with moderate denting or crushing and those with cracked or compromised bubbles, making it a great value opportunity for display or loose collectors.
Figures with dented or crushed bubbles include: Toon Vernon (11-Back, 1992), Shogun April (62-Back, 1994), Movie III Princess Mitsu (10-Back, 1992), Usagi Yojimbo (19-Back, 1989), Rocksteady (44-Back, 1990), and Toon Irma (11-Back, 1992). All remain sealed with bubbles intact, though each shows minor to moderate denting and scuffing. The remaining six figures show cracks in the plastic blisters, most often from handling or pressure over time. This group includes: Donatello (10-Back, 1988), Toon Burne (11-Back, 1992), Movie III April (10-Back, 1992), April (44-Back, 1990), Zak the Neutrino (68-Back, 1991), and Krang (14-Back, 1989). While all bubbles are still affixed to the cards, cracks range from hairline to more substantial, and all cards exhibit edge and corner wear, with some showing curling, creasing, or tearing.
For collectors seeking rarer characters, affordable variants, or projects for custom diorama builds, this group offers strong vintage appeal with characters from across multiple TMNT sublines-spanning the original cartoon, Movie III, and the animated "Toon Turtles" offshoot. A prime pick for anyone building out a character-complete display on a budget.
