Vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT enamel pin green blue – 80s retro accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Enamel pin featuring a Ninja Turtle, inspired by the TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) franchise, presented here in a vintage aesthetic version. The object has a cut-out shape following the contours of the character, perfectly recognizable by its green shell, blue mask and belt, and two raised katanas. The character is rendered in green and blue colored enamel on a gold-looking base, with raised areas clearly distinguishing anatomical details and accessories.

The visible side has a glossy finish, typical of vintage enamel pins, with a gold-colored metal outline (visual appearance, material not specified). The dynamic pose of the character, with raised arms and weapons pointed upwards, recalls the graphic style of licensed merchandise from the late 80s-early 90s. The details of the face, mask, belt, and kneepads are clearly visible, accentuated by the contrast between the colored enamel and the metallic outline.

This pin is presented on a white fabric, in a decorative baroque-patterned box (not included), which highlights its vibrant colors. No text, serial number, or brand is visible on the front. The object stands out with its cut-out silhouette and bold colors, faithful to the iconography of the Ninja Turtles.

The surface of the pin shows some slight signs of wear or patina, particularly visible on the gilded edges, which reinforces its retro character. No major chips or structural defects are observable on the visible part. The enamel details remain clear despite slight micro-scratches, typical of prolonged use or storage.

This type of accessory was common in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a period marked by the strong popularity of TMNT merchandise. The depiction of the character with two katanas suggests it is Leonardo, one of the iconic members of the team.
