The TMNT in Frank Miller Batman style was just epic! They also included a signed convention Staff badge that’s pretty neat in person…the sig almost looks 3-D. I wasn’t expecting such a cool bonus! 👍 That looks amazing! I found a site that makes custom TMNT heads to fit the Mafex Dark Knight Batman figure. I just wish they had custom hands too, but it still looks pretty sweet on the figure. Get a Mafex DKR Batman and a custom head to display with the book! https://www.bestleestudio.com/products/mafex-batman-v-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-headsculpt-112 Edited July 16 by Jesse-Lee eastbayrudy, TMNT, TMNTDude and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricey, but Mafex figures are worth it in my opinion. ADAMANTIUM and eastbayrudy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine had a handling dinner on the front so we will see if that will get pressed out along with the printing crease On 7/14/2024 at 8:08 AM, TMNTDude said: Yeah, I got them both pressed. I bet you'll come back with a high grade too. Congrats guys! I just got mine back as well and it got a 9.6. I'm pleased with it - would have loved a 9.8 for sure but I watched it get the spine ding in it when it was with Peter for signing. Ugh - but I don't get too caught up in the final point grade. Mid to high 9's are nice books - and to have a SS with both Peter and Kevin signatures, that's priceless. I've been working with CGC to get the publisher corrected on these labels but - in typical CGC fashion - they still haven't updated it even though I've provided all the requested documentation to make it happen. Wish they would do more research into books before just labeling them as they want - and incorrectly.

On the plus side, when they do correct it, they tend to correct label errors for free, including shipping. It's definitely in their best interest to fix it sooner than later.

I just noticed mine has the publisher as IDW too. Is that an error though? Mine were the JetPack variant, so I'm not sure if they should be listed under Jetpack as the publisher or something else.

I hope they can get things updated soon. I think CBCS just got a bunch of these as well and they've been notified of the correct information. On 7/16/2024 at 11:05 PM, TMNTDude said: Ugh. I just noticed mine has the publisher as IDW too. Is that an error though? Mine were the JetPack variant, so I'm not sure if they should be listed under Jetpack as the publisher or something else. The publisher of this reproduction is TMNT: A Collection and not IDW. This entire project (all 5 variants) was privately licensed, funded, and published by TMNT: A Collection - greenlit by Paramount/Nickelodeon after I presented it to IDW and they passed on it. I thought it was pretty clear from the interior front page information that this was my project and not published by IDW. However, I doubt anyone at CGC actually read that. Since I had to put both a Nickelodeon and IDW logo on the interior with the legal info that's likely why it got picked up as being published by IDW - since they hold the current TMNT comics license. I've been asking everyone that is willing to get in touch with CGC to complain that the label is wrong on their issues - hopefully the more people that complain will help get this fixed faster. Like I stated previously, I've already been in touch with CGC and submitted all the required paperwork to make this happen. It's been well over a month since I've had that done and still books are being issued with the wrong publisher. Here's the correct information that I've submitted to CGC for these books: Title: TMNT #1 40th Anniversary Reproduction Publisher: TMNT: A Collection Covers: Cover TMNT: A Collection Cover Jetpack Comics/PMC40 Kevin Eastman Fan Club A (Blue Line) Kevin Eastman Fan Club B (B&W) Kevin Eastman Fan Club C (Colored-Red) TMNTDude, Gump24601 and BeardedBubba 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't get updated soon, send me the info and I will send it to our Database Specialist, who is always very busy. I believe our Database updates on Tuesdays.

This is great to hear - I'd sure love to nip this in the bud before too many of these get out there with incorrect labels. Question for you - I've been keeping watch on these books on the CGC Census. When the info. gets updated for labels, does it also update for the Census information? This is what I've been using to see if the info. has been corrected yet.
