Dave a.k.a The Tmnt Collector is a Canadian collector in southern Ontario, and has been intrigued and collecting tmnt toys, books and memorabilia since their initial release in the late 80's. His "Turtle Lair" has over 25,000 individual peices, including some of the rarest and hard to find figures and oddities. As the pandemic/lock downs hit he came up with SHO'N'TELL ( SHOW AND TELL ) as a way to connect with people, the idea was to go live on Instagram from his Turtle Lair and invite other users on to show their collections as well.
SHO'N'TELL brought together a wide variety of collectors, artists, toy photographers and toy customizers resulting in a large Instagram following from all over the world, as well as enabling him to connect and interview our favorite celebrities from the different TMNT movies, shows & comics. Dave now travels all over North America showing elements of his collection at major toy and collectable conventions and does SHO'N'TELL: LIVE ON LOCATION to highlight guests, vendors, cosplayers and more. You can check out his collection and interviews on Instagram at @thetmntcollector.
