Playmates Tmnt Figures Appraisal

Vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) Action Figure Lot

This lot consists of five vintage action figures from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, primarily produced by Playmates Toys in the early 1990s. The collection features a mix of two distinct sub-lines: 'Troll Turtles' and 'Sewer Sports.' The two Troll Turtles (Leonardo and Raphael) are characterized by their anthropomorphic turtle bodies topped with tall, vibrant synthetic hair (blue and red) in the style of classic Dam Trolls. These figures include molded belts with initial buckles ('L' and 'R'). The other three figures are part of the sports-themed line, including a baseball-themed turtle in pinstripes, a football turtle in a red jersey and yellow pants with a cage helmet, and a hockey-themed turtle in a white 'THL' jersey. Physically, the figures are made of molded PVC plastic with articulating joints at the shoulders, hips, and neck. Colors are bright and saturated, typical of the late 20th-century toy aesthetic. Condition-wise, the figures appear to be in 'played-with' condition; there is noticeable paint rub on the high-contact areas like the toes and joints, and the troll hair appears somewhat frizzed or tangled. Most significantly, several accessories such as weapons, sports balls, or hockey sticks appear to be missing, which is a common factor in vintage toy lots. The construction reflects the high-quality, durable manufacturing standards of Playmates during the peak of the TMNT craze.
