Description

This illustrated card highlights the iconic world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, also known as the Ninja Turtles, in a Japanese version dating from 1993. The visible side features a colorful image depicting two of the famous turtles, recognizable by their headbands and shell armor. The background evokes a stylized urban setting, typical of the cartoon of the era, with vibrant hues and distinct outlines that recall the aesthetics of the 90s.

The "TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES" logo is clearly visible in the upper left part, with its distinctive green lettering. In the lower right, a yellow and red insert indicates "HP 90" (Hit Points), suggesting use for a game or a series of point cards. The card also displays the number 55 and a Japanese illustration, with Japanese characters and the mention "TREE" on a black insert in the upper right, which could indicate a specific series or category.

Three round perforations are visible on the left side, suggesting a design intended for insertion into a binder or album, typical of Japanese collectible cards from this period. The colors are well preserved, with clear shades of green, orange, blue, and purple for the characters, and an orange/red background evoking an action scene.

The surface texture appears smooth and slightly glossy, typical of laminated or cardboard cards in the series. No reverse side is visible in the provided image, and only the details of the front are described here in accordance with the photo.

The Japanese inscription at the bottom of the card reinforces the authentically Japanese aspect of the item, and the mention "Mirage Studio 1993" in the keywords suggests an official license from the era, consistent with the graphic style and the period of international distribution of the Ninja Turtles.
