Vintage Rare 1993 Japan Ninja Turtles Mirage Studio Animated Card TMNT
AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This collectible illustrated card features the famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters, reproduced in a graphic style typical of the 1990s. On the visible side, the four iconic turtles — Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael — are clearly distinguishable, standing side by side, each recognizable by their distinctive colored mask (blue, orange, purple, red) and their initial on their belt.
The card features the official "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" logo in red and green characters at the top left, as well as a Japanese "風 WIND" insert at the top right. Several Japanese inscriptions are visible, including a yellow star-shaped area with the number "115" in red, likely a reference to a series or a score. The bottom part of the card contains Japanese text on a black background, complementing the animated scene.
The card has three perforations on the left edge, suggesting it is a card to be filed in a specific album or binder for the series. The visible surface has a smooth, brightly colored finish, with an urban background typical of the TMNT universe. No other elements or reverse side are visible in the photo.
The overall appearance is faithful to the official Mirage Studio license, with a vintage aesthetic characteristic of early 90s Japanese merchandise. The crisp outlines, character details, and the presence of bilingual texts give this card significant visual and historical value for fans of authentic TMNT products.
This card highlights a dynamic animated scene, emblematic of the playful and collective spirit of the franchise, and stands out for its perforated format, rarely found on the market outside of Japan.
