I turned 18 on Jan. 6. and to celebrate it, I went out and got a turtle (just a plain turtle, not one on TMNT) tatooed on my hip. Sometime soon I'm thinking of having a blue bandanna added to it :D

LOL! I went out and got a tattoo when I turn 18 too! (Acutally, it was like eight months afterwards, but it's the thought that counts.) I got a yin-yang/ahnk cross on my ankle. I thought about a turtle but couldn't find a design I really liked. But I plan on getting one someday, as soon as I come up with something I really like.

My goodness... I never thought people this old were at this forum. I never would've guessed, because the language is so mild at this board. It makes me wonder if I'm in the Land of Peter Pan. :tlol: Eh... it doesn't matter. All I can say about my age is that I'm proud to own a license... and at 16! Oops, did I give out my age? :trazz: Oh well. HAPPY B-DAY TO KARPO!!! And everyday's a birthday for the turtles, so let's celebrate!!! :tparty:

19, and definitely around for the first wave of Turtlemania. During the early 90's, I got a little burned out on the cartoon, but never stopped liking it. The new series has brought me back to the flock, and it's good to be back :)

I am 21 years of age, dudes. I was about 5-6 when the original cartoon premiered, and I definitely stayed tuned for that. I started to turn away from TMNT during the last season or so. I may have tuned in for "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" (I think that's the title), but never really got into it. After that, I may have seen one of the three movies a few times, but never got into it again....until a week or so ago. I had heard about the new TMNT cartoon, so I went ahead and scoped it out. Totally awesome, in my book. I wanted to download old TMNT cartoons, and so I did. I am now back into the TMNT. I never scoped out the Mirage comics, though, I am aware that they are different from the toon. It's good to be a Turtles fan again. :)

I'm 18 (my b-day is 27 November 1984) and I have memories watching the Turtles on TV when they came out in Finland around 1990.
They never showed any of the later seasons (I think season 4 was the last to air) and the Finnish reprint of the Archie comic may have cut out a lot of good stories (most of Blindsight, for example, wasn't seen), but I never lost my love for the world's most fearsome fighting team

Karpo_007
02-19-2003, 06:34 AM
No, season 3 was the last one they showed In Finland. And We got TMHT :sick: Luckily the VHS' were the TMNT versions.

I a turned fifteen Feb.4! :D I have been a fan as long as I can remember but sold all of my old figures years ago in a yard sale because my parents thought I was too old for toys. I showed them! I got back into TMNT with the premiere of the new show.....It's good to be back!!!!

Me? 22. I'll be 24 in 21 months!
I became aware of the turtles through the action figures breifly before the original show began. I tuned in for the premeire, and I'm still tuned in.

It would be really cool to have a forum back then but even still I probably would have been too young to participate!

No, season 3 was the last one they showed In Finland. And We got TMHT :sick: Luckily the VHS' were the TMNT versions.

Besides the theme song, was there any difference between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles?

Karpo_007
02-23-2003, 12:03 PM
Well biggest difrence is that every part where a word ninja is said is pretty much edited. Also Mikey seems to disappear from the fights before he switches chukus to grapling hook.

Duke
02-23-2003, 12:18 PM
I watched one episode once. But Mikey was already using a grapling hook by then. I can't believe they would cut him out of fights when he used chukus. That is just retarded.

Tinselcat
02-23-2003, 05:47 PM
yeah, it's funny, but a lot of people are those who found out about the turtles in the old cartoon and have persued that interest. there's also a lot (like myself) who re-discovered an interest in tmnt later on. cool, huh?

Opticon143
02-23-2003, 07:52 PM
I'm 19...and like tinselcat, i lost interest in the tmnt (probably around the 4th or 5th season). I rediscovered them when i found an ep on kazaa and hunted down the rest (which led me to tmnt-files), and the rest is, as they say, history.
lol :lol:
