Allthough it didn't seem to mention that the book was in black & white, it still is pretty interesting to see all the products the TMNT appeared on. It also has the covers for their comics, and speaking of wich, I didn't see the Ninja Turtle enima bags mentioned in Mirage issue #41 in this book. LOL

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were at the height of their popularity in 1991. Their merchandising, for all intents and purposes, had only just begun. Sure, the cartoon began airing in 1987, but most of the Turtles toys I had as a child were made around 1994, just before the Turtles phenomenon seemed to drift into a memory. This book is interesting, though you'd think that with all the bells and whistles of an official collector's guide, it'd feature colour photos. The TMNT came back with another strong, young fanbase in 2003, so I'd very much like to see a full collector's guide to everything mean and green over the past 27 years, including all comics and toys, even the most ridiculous ones from the end of their original merchandising lines, as well as absolute works of art like the NECA poseable figures from a few years ago.
