You are bidding on a highly collectible 1990 Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) “Toilet Taxi” vehicle (item #5552), in unused condition, sourced from new old stock recently discovered in Argentina.

This rare Argentine‑market variation was imported and exclusively distributed by Juan Sulc S.A., a well‑known Argentine toy company active throughout the 1980s and 1990s. For local release, the distributor heat‑sealed the original Playmates box in plastic film and included a bonus unlicensed Splinter figure, along with a Spanish‑language promotional flyer reading:

“Gratis, un muñeco articulado de regalo para vos” (“Free: an articulated figure as a gift for you”).

This combination — the sealed box, the bootleg Splinter figure, and the distributor’s promotional insert — makes this version extremely rare, especially for collectors of international TMNT variants.

Condition: The Toilet Taxi remains film‑wrapped and unused, presenting just like a brand‑new toy. The original box is in very good overall condition, but shows a few notable flaws:

A puncture on the front left corner, at the top of the small photo. Dented corners from long‑term storage. The box was sealed shut with tape by the distributor. A round Juan Sulc S.A. sticker is applied to one side. The box also bears an Argentine customs stamp. The heat‑sealed plastic wrap has small holes and cuts, consistent with age and handling.

Despite these imperfections, this is an exceptionally preserved and historically significant international release — a standout piece for any serious TMNT collection.
