That is one impressive comic book there. I wish I had it. However, since people here seem to know about TMNT rarities, I have a question for you guys to see if you guys know something that no one else does. I know its not a comic, but I can't find any information on it ANYWHERE. This is a marketing presentation VHS of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action movie. This would be a copy of the tape sent out in special packaging before the movie was released to the general public. My best guess is that it was sent to stores so that they could either play it in their store or simply decide if they wanted to order copies of the film to sell or not. I am not really sure as I have never really run into anything like this before. Check out pictures. CONTENTS: The tape is about ten minutes long, and the "marketing presentation" brand it bears could not be more accurate. Essentially the tape shows voiceovers of the Turtles narrating marketing statistics, (whole lots of dollars and cents talk). Some of the contents include: how much the movie made at the box office, how this compared to other movies at the time, the fact that it had one of the best opening days in history at that point, details of movie tie-ins and promotions, other TMNT merchandise available, marketing contests, the MANY ways the movie is going to be marketed, results of research polls showing the popularity of the movie and likelihood of purchase, available store displays, scenes of kids and parents expressing their love of the movie (MC Hammer does too), and lots of the like. All of this is intermingled with lots of scenes from the movie (in no particular order), scenes from the cartoon show, pictures of available toys, and the aforementioned interviews, etc. The main voiceover narration is in the voice of Michaelangelo, but the others chime in as well. How much could something like this be worth? I wish there was a place where I could find out how many of these were made, distributed, confirmed destroyed, etc but I guess that is not likely considering I have yet to find anyone else that had even heard of this type of tape. Does anyone here know what the gibberish they print on the backs of VHS tapes mean? I always figured that it was similar to a barcode, maybe there would be a way to get more information from that. Here is what is printed on the back of the tape: M09563 T-10 PP-1 17038 IND-T.M.N.T. PROMO As near as I can figure, "T-10" would mean the tape was 10 mins long, and the "IND" would mean the tape was from an independent source and not a major player in the industry. "T.M.N.T. PROMO" is self-explanatory. The rest I have no clue about.
