The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been a powerhouse franchise ever
since the debut of the indie comic book back in 1984. The TMNT have
captivated kids and those young at heart for over thirty years now with
several movies, multiple cartoon series, ongoing comics and one of the
most extensive and playable toylines in history. The golden era of TMNT
for many fans was from 1988 to 1995 and it's that vintage era that this
book aims to focus on. When you're dealing with such an expansive
franchise it's essential to nail down a focus and the original cartoon
and movies are still regarded by many fans as the definitive TMNT. In
this book author, collector and pop culture historian Matt MacNabb, who
runs NinjaTurtlesCollector.com, examines everything from the Playmates
toyline to the more obscure product offerings - from fast food toys,
food product, school supplies and trading cards to video games, VHS and
books.
