Monemon (Simone) 931033 as Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Thank you for any group invites which I'd be glad to accept. However, if I can't check the content of such groups ("This group is not available to you") I'd rather not add any of my photos. Thanks for your understanding.
This is a composite scan for a WELL LOVED copy of the Nintendo Famicom box for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," which American gamers knew as TMNT 2: The Arcade Game. Konami's naming and numbering strategy was different in Japan, as it took a little longer to properly introduce the franchise to their homeland's audience, thus America's TMNT 2 became Japan's TMNT 1. The box is smaller in dimensions but otherwise largely similar in art design to the NES release seen in North America, something of a rarity in those days. The iconic work of Ryan Brown and Steve Lavigne transcends all cultural boundaries, I suppose! The back of the box does seem to have a little more fun with the source material compared to its Western counterpart! COWABUNGA!
You can find some excerpts from the original Japanese manual on my Instagram account:

I always seeing concept art from the Fred Wolf TMNT cartoon. The Kodansha TMNT Encyclopedia #91 features some excerpts of the layouts for April O'Neil's apartment (season 2 and beyond) and the Channel 6 News building.
On the right-hand page is the first page of an episode guide.

Outlined here is the rarely-seen Weapon Room that serves as the entrance to the Practice Room. Also, note that Donatello's bedroom serves as the entrance to his laboratory that also serves as the garage for the Party Wagon.
"Ninja Action Donatello" provides some additional details in Japanese... but I can't tell what he's talking about.

Front and back cover scans for the second "Tortugas Ninja Kits Troquelados" papercraft book in Spanish language but apparently printed in Italy (1990), featuring removable Donatello, Michelangleo, April O'Neil, Splinter Shredder, Foot Soldier, and vehicle stand-ups as seen on this cover. In addition, the book features four pages of exclusive comics and games! The papercraft figures are pretty cool in having artwork on both sides.
16 pages (counting front and back covers); 16 pages (counting front and back covers), this book was also published in various other European markets.

This is where I am up to this point. Have to add a wee bit more clutter, or at least random signs on the fence.
My brickheadz Turtles team updated with some improvements. Unfortunately I had to use a part that doesn't exist in this color... It's unusual in my build!
