I've seen the original four in the KayBee stores in the malls about circa 2000...I was quite surprised to find them actually. They were apparently 1998 re-releases? Saw the slam-dunking Don, movie star Splinter, skateboarding Mike and that was it. Strange....

I also see those awful larger than life figures...not interested in those.

I got all four of the original Turtle figures through that rerelease. I stopped seeing the rereleases around 2000, 2001.

I haven't seen any Ninja Turtles memorabilia at all in stores lately. I always check, though, especially in places like Kaybee Toy Stores because they always seem to keep the older stuff around.

I can still remember back to those glory days when whole aisles would be dedicated to Ninja Turtles memorabila. Most of the aisle was stocked with action figures, since there were seemed to be hundreds of them. I remember kids and parents always shuffling through the action figures, the kids' eyes just lighting up with delight.

Ah, yes, those were the days . . .
