Age range of TMNT fans here

[Zelda]

Thinking of how cartoons are supposed to be for younger kids (supposedly ;p ), yet how the old series has an aging fanbase and the new series is considered dark and for older kids.....I was curious what the age range is around here.

[sdp]

The new cartoon is still considered for little kids, that doesn't mean older fans can't like it. It's relatively easy to find people that love animation and are older on the internet and conventions :p just check out toonzone.net :D

anywas, i'm 19

[XERO]

21 years old. :)

[NeoBix]

[GK Punk]

I am 21 years old nad female, what are the genders of the fans out here? any more female fans that like TMNT, then and now?

The forums full of quite a few female TMNT fans actually. Kali, Jo Dawn, Machias Banshee, Kameko etc.

and I'm male for the record.

[Ryona]

I be 24, though I swear, I haven't aged past 17 physicly and mentaly! :D

Been a turtle fan since 1988! W00t!



Oh, and Alison, you'll always be a girl to me! :D I don't know why, but I seem to prefer to visualize you as female. *shrugs*

And no, it's not because of your name and avatars.


I'm just weird that way. :)

[Sewer Bull]

22/M


:roll:

[Ryona]

Is that eye-rolling towards me? :-? I'm going to assume it's not.


Anyway, I'm so totally curious of what you were going to put in your sig, Robweiller. Please tell me! or better yet, show me what it is in a PM! I'm dying here! :D :lol:

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

Been a turtle fan since 1988! W00t!

Ye, my parents started screamin' ''TMNT, WHATCHA GET IS WHATCHA SEE'' as soon as I was born, to make me a really incarnated TMNT-fan from birth :P
and now here I am, 17 years later... and still as big a fan as back tehn :D

[MasterMole]

22/ male here. I watched the old cartoon and had lots of the old toys. I remember the day back in 1990 going to TRU with my granddad. I was going to buy the Technodrome; I was so excited. I had saved $50 for it.

[Mecha Cow]

I'll be turning eightteen in two months. So yeah.

[Sewer Bull]

Is that eye-rolling towards me? :-? I'm going to assume it's not.

Ermm...Well... :toops:

Well actually, not really. I just had to put something extra in my post because the phrase "22/M" was too short to be sent.

Anyway, I'm so totally curious of what you were going to put in your sig, Robweiller. Please tell me! or better yet, show me what it is in a PM! I'm dying here! :D :lol:

All right - just wait a sec :)
For curious others - it was Smith&Wesson advertising banner which strikes a chord with my gloomy sense of humour. Nothing explicit really, but not everyone might find it funny and appropriate, so i restrained myself from putting it into the sig.

[Buslady]

I'm 33. Fan since 1989...high school. People can laugh at me, I dont give a poop cause I'm "supposed" to be a responisble serious grown up...screw that, I am responsible but never serious. Life's too short to be serious all the time!!

[Ryona]

Damn straight, Buslady!

I know I'll still be a die hard fan when I'm twice my age.

Can you imagine that some people from back in highschool looked at me funny because I liked TMNT? Psh! I don't give a damn! My interest makes me interesting while their lack of interest makes them distasteful.


In any case, the TMNT are in their 30's in the Mirage comics. ;)

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

ummm... who voted 40-50 ??? I would like to talk with that guy/girl

how old is Peter Laird :P

[Sewer Bull]

ummm... who voted 40-50 ??? I would like to talk with that guy/girl


You are never too old to love TMNT :trolleye:

[Lioness-Goddess]

Wow. I know they're out there, but the age range of TMNT fans never ceases to amaze me!

...and I think I'm the youngest one on this thread so far! I just turned 16.

[Jester]

Dagnamed youngins....:P Glad to see younger fans...means the franchise might keep going. Quick question for the younger fans, did you have older siblings who were really into the TMNT?

[Katie]

29.....fan since '85ish ???? I stopped counting the years.

I know plenty of people my age who like the turtles and aren't afraid to letcha know about it.

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

Dagnamed youngins....:P Glad to see younger fans...means the franchise might keep going. Quick question for the younger fans, did you have older siblings who were really into the TMNT?
hmm I didn't... I used to watch it with my bro, and of course we both got some of the old toys, but he's not into to TMNT anymore. also, he's only 2 years older than me

[Zelda]

I'm 33. Fan since 1989...high school. People can laugh at me, I dont give a poop cause I'm "supposed" to be a responisble serious grown up...screw that, I am responsible but never serious. Life's too short to be serious all the time!!

Haha, I don't understand our whole societal idea that responsible means serious(and boring)... it's MUCH more responsible to enjoy yourself! Relaxing is healthy! What's so responsible about wasting your life neglecting things that could've made you happy and maybe kept you from an ulcer ;p

Reaching 23 here, female, and hoping for a pizza+TMNT night tonight (..and every night).

[lambofun]

I was born on April 23 1986. I have been with the TMNT from the beginning of the old cartoon series and 1st movie.

[Weapon X]

Im 15, but I've been through it all, Old Toon, Archie comics, the trilogy, Toy's, old school games, it's been a blast. Now Im really into the original comics, mostley Mirage Vol.1.

[MrPliggins]

i'll be 27 in week or so... got into tmnt during the 2nd season of the original cartoon (december 1988ish)

[Leonardo Mystic]

21, 22 next month, and female here. Been a fan since I was six or seven. Six of those fifteen years I drifted, but I don't think I never really forgot about it.

*laughs* I can remember when I was sitting in 12th grade World History class, and we were studying the Renaissance. When all four of the famous artists in that era was mentioned, I sat straight up in my desk thinking "OMG... It's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!" I had the OS theme song stuck in my head for rest of that day. :lol:

[Raph's Girl]

Im 25 and female... been a fan since I saw the series in 1988 on AFRTS. Altho I more or less grew up watching it in German by going to my neighbors house everyday and watch it. :lol:

I grew up in a rather strict household and there was few shows I was able to watch. TMNT was one of the few shows my dad let me see. :P May have only started being a fan in 1988 but I've liked turtles in general since 1985 when my parents saved a tortoise that was in the middle of the road. I took it to school for show and tell then we set it free. :D I started reading all I could about turtles and when the show came on I got hooked.

Everybody in my family are fans... my step-dad is a MAJOR Don fan, considers him to be his hero. :lol: My mom is a major Mikey fan and does this really bad voice impression of him. :P My cousin Bryce refers to Leonardo as The Blue Dude.

[deafcat]

I'm 24. Big fan of the old series but never really got into the new one.

I have a nephew who's six years old and loves the new series. I was the same age when the old one first came on, and he has seen Vol. 1 on DVD that he borrowed from me. He doens't seem to like that one much though. I don't know why.

[zkarlette]

Im 25 and female ofcourse , Old toon , New toon always a fan :D Im with Buslady I dont think anybody should stop having an inner child no matter what age ;)

[MasterMole]

I am Right there with you guys. I'll never be ashamed of watching this show, no matter what age. I'll always love the Turtles for who they are and the awesome impact they have had on the World. I look forward to season 4 with Bad Boy Bishop, and the awesome upcoming movie.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Dagnamed youngins....:P Glad to see younger fans...means the franchise might keep going. Quick question for the younger fans, did you have older siblings who were really into the TMNT?

Nope, I don't have any siblings at all! I think my mom was into it when I was little, but I really had no idea what she was talking about.

Actually, I discovered TMNT by total accident last...I think it was May. I was just channel surfing around, and I landed on it, and the end was one of those To Be Continued thingers, and lo and behold, I was hooked. Even though it took me a little while to figure out which one was which...I was calling Donatello Leonardo for a little while.

I didn't even see the old toon until about a week ago when I finally broke down and bought the DVD.

[Sewer Bull]

I didn't even see the old toon until about a week ago when I finally broke down and bought the DVD.

Whoa! Not seeing old TMNT until a week ago :o ;)

And did you like it?

[KROW]

Twenty Five here. Started following TMNT with the original Toon and have been following it ever since :)
Ditto for me.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Whoa! Not seeing old TMNT until a week ago :o ;)

And did you like it?

Yeah, I did. Not as much as the new one though. :lol:

[jestergoblin]

I'm 19 and have been a fan of ninja turtles for as long as I can remember...

Kevin Eastman's family used to live right by me. The turtles used to be everywhere.

[OA]

22 going on 23 in August... :)

[TMNT-Leonardo]

17 here. Been a TMNT fan for a long time. I have a laptop, which I use at school, and watch Ninja Turtle episodes at lunch time.

[Shreddette]

I am 29 and have been a fan of TMNT since I was about 11-12... sooo yeah about when it first came out! I remember getting up early one saturday morning and seeing one of the first seasons episodes just once and I was hooked.

I moved on to other things for several years after Red Sky seasons came out. I just didn't care for them as much. Then years later when the new TMNT toon came out and I discovered this website, I got hooked on the old toon once again. I'm glad I can watch the first 2 seasons now at home any time I want (and 2 VHS tapes with 2 episodes each on 'em from future seasons)!

Now for the 3rd and 4th seasons to hurry up and come out.

[Leonardo_]

24 here and I become a fan when I found an old forgotten comic in my collection. ( I think I was about 10 or so. ) I liked to read it and wanted more. With the old toon I began to "love" them.

[Leo-a-go-go]

30 years old here, first got into the turtles when the movies were out in the late 80's and then got back into them about 2 years ago when the figures started popping up in stores again :)

[NeoBix]

Krow if you dont mind where did ya get the pictures of juggernaut and shredder in your siggy

[Spitfire]

Yay I'm 17! Wow no youngy young kids ^_^ Maybe that's why I like this place. No immature kids under 13 ranting their opinions like it's the law. *Yes I used to go to GameFAQs alot ><*

[Ra]

14, but I'm 15 soon so I clicked that :)

[Gary]

I'll be 21 April 21st, 2007.

[Ryona]

I'll be 21 April 21st, 2007.

You do realise that's two years away, right?


You're basicly 19 right now. Why not just state that you're 19???

[Weapon X]

Um...ok... :|

ZING!

God please tell me this is not happening. :lol:

[NeoBix]

lmfao... I wonder if we have anyone over 90 on here :lol:

[Ra]

:o well, only one way to find out *calls out* ANYONE AT THE 'DROME OVER 90 YET?!? :P

[starry]

*raises hand* Well...um...I'm 92.

Totally kidding of course! I think I've had my age in my profile for a while anyway. I'm 21. :D

[Sewer Bull]

Today, I feel as if I was over 90. :ohwell:

That counts?

[NeoBix]

ya that's good enough Robweiller... :P

on a lighter note, though, hope you feel better and younger soon. hang in there Robby! 8)

earlier today I felt like I was like at least 40... my bones were achin and my muscles were sore... ughh :ohwell:

[KROW]

Krow if you dont mind where did ya get the pictures of juggernaut and shredder in your siggy
Some site of which I forget the name.

[Weapon X]

Some site of which I forget the name.
At first I thought it was Game Sprite Archive, but alas It was not. :(

[KROW]

At first I thought it was Game Sprite Archive, but alas It was not. :(
I've taken sprites from a load of different sites, and that's one of them, I do believe. As a matter of fact, I have so many that it's more of forgetting which sprites came from which site than remembering the actual site itself.

Yeah, believe me, I know what you mean. :P

[Gary]

I was just following suit. It seemed to be a trend to tell what age you would be at a later date. Maybe I should have started a new one and said that I turned 18 last year? if it makes you feel better, I turned 19 in April.

[Weapon X]

Yeah that might help.

Or just said, "I'm 19."

[NeoBix]

Actually, Gary, I appreciated the unconventional method in which you divulged your age to the technodrome community, and I would personally like to thank you for not doing it the way that these people are demanding that you do it.

Don't pay them any attention, my friend. You just keep on trucking and doing your own thing, buddy. Don't ever let the naysayers in this world get you down.

By the way, I'll be 34 on September 29th, 2018. 8)

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Just because some of us would rather answer a simple question with a straightforward answer, and offer some simple suggestions to maintain that simplicity, thereby avoiding to complicate things that don't need to be complicated, means we're naysayers and demanding that he conform to our way of thinking?

[Sewer Bull]

It's getting hot in this section...

[Ryona]

Ok, everyone relax and just take off all your clothes as Robweiller suggested.

[XERO]

Uhhh... :ohwell:






















I'm already naked. :P

[Serp]

I'm 19 years, and a dude. :lol:

[Lady Venus]

I'll be 24 in two months, though I swear and I still look like a teen.:D Which makes me 23 now. I am a female fan of TMNT.

Been a turtle fan since 1987! Yahoo!

[Storm Wolf]

*bounces around* 18 here!! Whooo!






*shrugs*











ok....so it's not that great....

[Weapon X]

I'd say the two age groups up there winning make sence.

[Hannah]

I just turned 13 a while ago! ~happy dance~ =D


( I'm all alone on the poll T^T )

[Storm Wolf]

I'd say the two age groups up there winning make sence.

Yeah. I'd have to agree.

I mean the age ranges are about when the hype started....the original cartoon and what-not.

[Raphael29]

Wazzup, I'm 21, Male, been following TMNT since I was 4, and caught the old toon for the first time.

[shuriken]

18 here, been watching tmnt since as far back as i can remember (literally, my earliest memories is me yelling cowabunga) and ill watch them when im 90.

HAHA :lol: same here buddy Anyways I'm 16 same age as the turtles baby :D (well at least from the cartoon)

[Storm Wolf]

Uhhh... :ohwell:






















I'm already naked. :P


Somehow, I missed that post entirely the first time I read thru the thread :ohwell: :lol:


Maybe you should put your close back on now, Ben, before you scare the others. :D :P

[Sewer Bull]

Maybe you should put your close back on now, Ben, before you scare the others. :D :P

You mean - bandana and belt? :P

[Weapon X]

Yes, he is a turtle after all.

[XERO]

Wow...I must've made some kind of impression here. :P :lol:

[Sewer Bull]

Wow...I must've made some kind of impression here. :P :lol:

*throws him a towel mercifully*

[Jaf]

Oy! Jaf be 27, and male. Happy to see I'm not the oldest one around these here parts.

Started off around 1990, with the french translation of the Archie TMNT adventures comics and later the movies. Started to watch the old toons as a good way to improve my english (official excuse 8) )... Naaah, 'twas just a wholl lotta fun!! Then I get hooked by the Mirage comics, which is the media I'm still into.

Didn't see much of the new show : around here, you must have cable TV to catch the english version. And the french-dubbed version they air is «made in France», which is quite painful for Québec ears. Will get the DVDs some day.

[Kenton]

Hmm, I am 14. I have watched turtles for as long as I can remeber though, my 19 year old cousin got me into them. He had all the figures and games (and passed them over to me). Not sure if I watched it on the tv or the movies. But I have seen ALOT of turtles. I dont like the new series though.

[Space Lieutenant Josh]

Well, I'm 20 as of today, so I'm not sure if that makes me 15-20 or 20-25...

But I'll never be 19 again, so I'm going with the latter.

[The Lone Turtle]

21 here. Been a TMNT guy pretty much my whole life, along with Transformers :)

[Silent FOx]

16 year old male. The original toon introduced me into the tmnt world.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

17 here, but I've been a TMNT head since I was 2.

[ThemanthatwouldbeRaphael]

Im 15, but I've been through it all, Old Toon, Archie comics, the trilogy, Toy's, old school games, it's been a blast. Now Im really into the original comics, mostley Mirage Vol.1.

Looks like we may be two of a kind.

[Weapon X]

What and why?

pssst...no double posts. :P

[Shadow Leonardo]

14 actually but in October I'll be 15 so I clicked on the 15-20 option. :)

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

21, male and hot. Been watching the TMNT cartoon since it first came on UK TV in 1989, if i'm correct. After that first episode, which was "Return of the Shredder" i taped all the rest that were on the BBC. I was 5 when i discovered them.

[magidkaiser]

25 male here- and i will enjoy tmnt till i die

[blue_angel99]

I'm a 24 TMNT fangirl and will be till I die. I've been lovin' them since I was 6. :D

[Anarky]

Wouldn't it have been better if the poll was with years? Like 1980-85? That way this poll will be correct until the world ends (plus two days).

Anyhow, I'm having my 21st soon. That means: Global drinking! I'll have my world tour where I'm going to be drunk everywhere. :D

[Rat_Queen_Valarian]

21+ and going strong. Hoping I live to see the 100th new series ep and 2007 flick. Still believe I've been intrigued by and/or a fan of Splinter for as long as I remember.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]
