The scene illustrated on the visible side highlights several iconic characters: on the left, Donatello and Raphael (purple and red headbands respectively), in the center Leonardo (blue headband), and on the right, the antagonist Rocksteady, identifiable by his characteristic half-human, half-rhino design. The graphic style is typical of animated productions from the early 1990s. The card also features Japanese inscriptions, including a yellow banner with the number 145, a \"TREE\" logo at the top right, and descriptive text at the bottom, confirming its Japanese origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the card (the only visible side) features a crisp print on a satin background, with vibrant colors and strong contrast. Three perforations on the left side suggest a presentation in the form of a sheet to be inserted into a binder, a common aspect of Japanese collectible card series from that era. The edges have rounded corners, with no obvious signs of irregular cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall design of the card fits the trend of early 90s TMNT merchandise, with a dynamic layout, graphic elements typical of Japanese aesthetics, and an emphasis on the playful and illustrative aspect. The characters are depicted in an action scene, separated by vertical bars evoking a cage or a grid, reinforcing the theme of confrontation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe card bears the number 12 (ロックステディ) in a white box at the bottom left, which likely indicates its position in a series or set. The mention \"Mirage Studio 1993\" in the keywords, as well as the visual aesthetic, allow this piece to be attributed to the vintage TMNT period, confirmed by the Japanese print and the context of the franchise's international distribution at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual condition of the card shows a slight curvature, but no major defects are visible on the printed surface (no chips, sharp creases, or visible stains on the displayed side). The perforations appear clean and regular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUsed item, sold as is.
