Action Figures1988 - 1990

DaddaRuleKongeWhy the hell did i make this “book”?

I like to keep myself occupied and i like to have a“project” going, sorting and collecting. After taking time off from work, because anxiety/panic/depressing fuckup, i had alot of time

on my hand, and i like to collect old MOC TMNT figures, so i thought, why the hell not.

The book is made from “google” pictures and transcripts (copy/paste) rewritten or directlycopied from the net. I am not a professional designer and i suck in english grammar. That is the one and original factor of why i use the cheap cut&paste on much of the

information in the book (or, thats what i tell myself anyway).That beeing said, i did my very best to make this book with respect for the people.

As the book is pure transcript on much of the content in the book, you may share the pdf freely if you want.

If you are happy with the book then please donate some money to some of the web-sites that is stated in the refrence page, as they are my main information source, and the book

would be pretty barren without their websites for using facts and pictures.

If you are annoyed, (or the mentioned website, and is pissed i stole your content without consent) send an email to me: sennep@hotmail.com

and i will make changes to your wishes.
