Anyone got photos of the TMNT toy line (1988-1999) when they were in the toy shelves?
Hi everyone. This must be difficult or maybe imposible. We were very young and those images can be found only in our memory.
However if anyone got the chance to take a picture of the tmnt original toy line (1988 to 1998 )when it was in the toy shelves at the toy stores please upload the photos. Plus, anyone remember in which toy stores could you buy tmnt action figures? Like kay bee toys for example Thanks a lot. |

Target was the primary source for my folks. But also smaller chains like Thrifty (now Rite Aide)

Rose's was another one. My parents only bought me figures there on clearance when the various stores were going out of business

I remember going to Toys R Us when TMNT figures would take up an entire side of an aisle...PLUS they would have more at the front of the store. But...I never got any pictures. I was like 10.

Has anyone here ever seen the 1991 movie "Career Opportunities"?
Most of the scenes in it take place in a Target. It was filmed in January of 1990, I think. In one scene, the two main characters (Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly) are in the toy aisle and there is an end cap filled with the basic assortment figures from '89. I cannot find a screen grab anywhere on-line, but I know I saw it. The scene appears in the middle of the film, I believe, in case anyone here is interested. |

^ Thanks for posting that screen grab. I w as looking all over the Internet for it.
Here is another YouTube video that I found: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy aisle appears at 0:17. Last edited by mikey0; 04-19-2017 at 04:47 PM. |

No problem. I sprung the $3.99 to rent it on Amazon. There were 3 good reasons: TMNT, John Hughes and Jennifer Connelly (big fan of her around the time of The Rocketeer). The movie itself was just OK, but it was kinda cool to see a Target store from the early '90s. They weren't in my area until much later.
btw: that youtube link doesn't seem to work. |
