Carddass Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT vintage Shredder Japanese 90s card

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual description

This Japanese collectible card features a character from the famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, identifiable by the colorful "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" logo visible in the upper left. The card displays a dynamic illustration of the character Shredder in action, against a background of stylized flames. The printing is offset with bold, contrasting colors, typical of 90s merchandise. In the upper right, a "2K WATER" symbol and a box indicating "HP 150" in red characters on a yellow background suggest a points or game system.

The visible side of the card also features several Japanese inscriptions, including a black band at the bottom with gold characters and a mention in katakana below the illustration. The card is perforated on the left side with three round holes, suggesting a format designed to be inserted into a binder or dedicated album. The material appears to be cardboard, with a smooth, semi-glossy surface, without any particular texture or apparent embossing on the exposed side.

The graphic design, cartoon style, and layout strongly recall the Carddass products released in Japan in the 1990s, aimed at TMNT license fans. The overall design combines retro visual elements and a manga aesthetic specific to the period.

Condition

Some minor signs of use may be present, related to handling or storage in a binder, but nothing significant is visible in the provided photo.

Did you know? Carddass cards were launched by Bandai in Japan in 1988 and became a social phenomenon among children and teenagers, thanks in particular to cult licenses such as Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Each series offered original visuals and game or point systems specific to the license.
