It's in my office with my other "unmentionable" art that freaks out my mother when she comes to visit (my Death Dealer, Decapitated Gwen Stacy homage to Crime Suspensestories 22, and the cover to The Birds, The Bees, and The Turtles.) O and for some reason, a Venture Brother's signed limited edition poster from NYCC. I think I just put it there because I always loved seeing it and I am in the office 8+ hours a day. Rooms are as follows: Living Room = Star Wars (Lithos, OA from Marvel, Cast Signed Movie posters) Dining Room = Spider-Man (OA from the books, OA from the Newspaper strips, signed posters) Office = "unmentionables" as described above, plus the usual office stuff (the Samsung Frame, which is a TV that looks like art when its not on, a white board, and my various degrees, citations, and other awards) Turtle Rooms = WAY too much Turtles stuff (Neca figures, limited edition figures, my playmates collection from when I was a kid, posters, original art, hundreds of comics, Cels.) Hallway = Kirby Superman and Captain America along some Neal Adams Batman. Spare Bedroom = Wrestling room LOL (OA from the WCW Marvel books, signed programs and promotionals from when I was a kid) My Bedroom = Nothing (funny right?) Basement = Every video game system ever (NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, N64, PSX, PS2, PS3,PS4, Xbox One X, Xbox, Xbox 360, Switch, Dreamcast, a few Arcade 1UP setups. Did I mention I'm single?

He wrote "Bodé" as a nod to Vaughn, who's work was the inspiration of the piece. He wouldn't meet Mark until 85 or 86 at SDCC, he couldn't remember which. However the two did hit it off, and with Epic shutting down (which makes me think it was more likely that it was the 86 show, though it's possible Archie knew in 85 that the book was going under) Mark jumped on board and joined the Mirage team. I own a few of Kevin's early works. Here's another I haven't yet gotten over to the framer, it looks a lot better in person, the camera sucked. Also has a really cool sketch on the back of a woman. I should claim it's first April O'Neil and sell it for $1,000,000. PeasOfCrap and Miamiknight3434 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jesse-Lee Posted April 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2021 Was doing some spring cleaning and came across these two in storage. I didn't realize how pricey/hard to find these are now... bought them back when they first came out... spracknetch23, Icculus308win, ADAMANTIUM and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually also have this four-pack set and a box set of the four in black and white too. I was shocked when I saw what they're selling for on eBay, might have to bite the bullet and sell... They are ridiculously cool though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectocooler Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 There are rumors that NECA is going to bring back the Mirage toy line, they’ve been testing the waters with some loot crate exclusives. NECA has no qualms with constantly reissuing stuff, and if they do the secondary market prices for the first release stuff will plummet. It’s a gamble but if you feel you can live without them I’d say sell and invest that money in some key comics. Jesse-Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subby1938 Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Value is not that important to me as I display them beside my playmates statues. I paid 100.00 Canadian for these so I’m ok with these dropping lol. I’d never pay those asking prices anyways . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectocooler Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I was responding to Jesse-Lee since he seemed on the fence with selling, and now is probably the time to capitalize. NECA keeps pumping out new turtles seemingly every week. Glad you like them though, I’m not selling mine either. But I wish I sold my Mezco Wolverine before they announced that new one.
