Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 8-Figure Lot with Dented and Separating Bubbles (Playmates, 1989-91)....

Description

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 8-Figure Lot with Dented and Separating Bubbles (Playmates, 1989-91). This TMNT lot gathers eight vintage, carded figures from the franchise's original late-'80s to early-'90s heyday, offering a solid mix of fan-favorite characters and villains-all with varying degrees of bubble and packaging damage, ideal for collectors looking for display fillers, restoration projects, or affordable entry points into the vintage line.
Four of the figures feature moderate to minor denting or crushing to their bubbles:

Splinter (44-Back, 1990), Metalhead (19-Back, 1989), Rocksteady (44-Back, 1990), and Usagi Yojimbo (19-Back, 1989). Their bubbles remain fully affixed to the cards, though all display minor to moderate scuffing and visible warping. The other four figures have varying levels of bubble separation: Super Shredder (68-Back, 1991), Tokka (68-Back, 1991), General Traag (19-Back, 1989), and Rat King (19-Back, 1989). Rat King is in the roughest condition, with his bubble completely detached, a severely warped card, and significant surface wear including veining and creasing.

All cards in the lot exhibit edge and corner wear, with some showing heavier surface flaws such as curling, creases, and scuffs. Despite their condition, this group presents a valuable cross-section of key characters from one of the most collectible toy lines of its era. Perfect for custom display, loose upgrades, or collectors assembling full character rosters on a budget, this lot is packed with potential from Turtle allies to mutant enemies.
