Tracking Your Turtle Fan-dom

[Jester]

Hey all, Jester here. I was looking through my old elementary school class pics and I found this gem:
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs471.snc3/25850_505422987032_91100135_30118730_5987456_n.jpg
Yep, that's little Jester there in the front row wearing a TMNT t-shirt.
Anyone else have pictures of themselves wearing real vintage TMNT stuff?

Doesn't really count, but I did save the little guy... he had a fish hook stuck in his mouth lol

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

There are some, but I don't have them scanned.

[Venom]

I like that shirt. DO WANT!!

I still have my old Turtle shirts tucked away safely.

Also, that kid on the far left looks a little tipsy. :)

[Roseangelo]

I recently found home movies that included Christmas '90 or '91, where I open a selection of TMNT goodies (some of which I still have).

[Powder]

I will deffinately share some stuff here soon!

I recently found home movies that included Christmas '90 or '91, where I open a selection of TMNT goodies (some of which I still have).

Are you going to upload them to the You Tube? I've seen some videos from the 1980's and 90's with children opening video games presents for Christmas or birthdays.

[Luzmagica]

WOW!! Jester and Tothenines!!! You both look very cool nice!!! Those pics are beautiful gems!!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!! :twink:

I got one pic,(not scanned yet, :tconfuse: sorry...) when I was teenager, and I was in Finland, near of a big TMNT anounce when they said "Puhua suomea" (means "we speak fininsh")...I was whatching TMNT cartoons in other languague!!!, Thanks God they were subtitle in english...!!!...LOL..:lol:

[OA]

Here are a few i've found.
This gem is from '89. Notice what looks like a TMNT puzzle box bottom holding a number of other '88-'89 figures in the lower right.

Obviously, some Christmas goodies!
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d131/dmerced/Turtle%20Room/christmas1989.jpg

And lastly, my idea of camping. My older brother was spending the night at a friends house so I decided to camp out with Donny - in his room!

Homemade Halloween costumes:

I forget which Turtle this was...

Casey Jones, although most everyone thought it was Jason..

[BoggleKng]

Just to keep the Fan-Dom going but this is one of my step daughters as Leo.. I had this old TMNT pillow case that we converted into a costume..

[discordiatookie]

Ha, my mam always put me in a shirt and tie for my school photos. That first turtle halloween costume is a stroke of genius. I love it. Ace photos everyone!

I got some, two i've put on here before, and two that I ain't.

First be me and my sister meeting a terrifying Michaelangelo. Or as Powder once put it, Mikeclops. Yep, it's an unfortunate angle.

Must be christmas, going by the selection boxes. Great haul, got myself a blimp! And 'though you can't see em, that be Star Wars pyjamas I have on.

Thundercats duvet set, Turtles poster. That's one of the Hero Turtles magazine poster comic specials.

Must be my birthday! Great tablecloth ma!
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa15/discordiatookie/img067.jpg

I'm pretty sure there's more, but that's all i've got. My folks live in Portugal, and she's got most've the pictures...

I believe I was at Pizza Hut picking up an Out Of Their Shells tape.

Here is my contribution. Looking like a typical dumb little kid. Haha. Btw, how awesome are those Leo Pjs? I wish I had some grown up ones.:lol:

[Raph]

Wow this awesome, I should have an old photo of me getting TMNT action figures for Christmas back in 1988... Gotta search though

[Samhain]

Im suprised there isnt more posts in here. I love seeing these kind of old pics.

[Powder]

Im suprised there isnt more posts in here. I love seeing these kind of old pics.

I know I have a bunch but all of the photo albums are buried in my moms closet & she's being a pain about letting me take 'em out.
She's afraid of a memory avalanche, I suppose.

I still have my old TMNT action figures in the basement.

[Redeemer]

I have some but sadly do not have a scanner :tsad:

[Eiko]

These old photos are cool. I think i have a old photo of my bedroom when i was little. my whole room was ninja turtles posters drawings on the wall if i find it i will post it.

[shuriken]

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/robolobo/Leome.jpg

I TOTALLY had that shirt and I wore it until it was too small for my body and eventually ripped.:tsad: I wore from about age four to age fourteen. I gotta find some of those old school pics.

[Adam Riches]

I definitely have some things to contribute to this thread, but it will require some digging.

All I have to say is that those pajamas are bad ass. That is all.

[METALHEAD]

1993 the grand opening of H.E.B. i had free photos taken from my mom, she always had to have me pose with toon characters. not that i'd argue i thought it was neat, i had the geinie from aladen taken, the fairy and the tin man from wizard of oz, and a geraff in a tux (sorry if i mis spelled.) but the greatest of all photos has to be me and raph and mikey. i was 8 years old back then. http://tmntfan85.deviantart.com/art/TMNTFAN85-as-a-kid-175586341 in case the photo doesnt show heres the link.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Aren't there any more TMNT drawings here?.

[Jo Dawn]

Ah, I love this thread! All the pictures are so great. I don't have any pics from when I was little... By the time the original toon was on, I was older, heh. Though I do think I have one from about 5 years or so ago I need to find!

But my brother... He has innumerable pics; every holiday or birthday was a TMNT fest! He even had that camera that every time it took a picture, the picture had a TMNT stamp on it! Haha, we need to find and scan those!

[Fugitoid Jones]

I'm sure I've got pics of me in TMNT gear somewhere, but for now, here's a lil FJ meeting the Turtles at MGM circa 92.

http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs238.snc3/22570_346320445972_609095972_5251590_7521056_n.jpg

Check out my rad dinosaur sweater! Stylin! Notice my awesome shorts too.

[collectormike]

Dang ill have to dig into my old pics to see what i have. Think i have one of me running around with a black t-shirt with the turtles on it. I remember having a TMNT backpack too.

I recall a friend who had a TMNT themed birthday party when he turned 9 in October 1991.

[Samhain]

Love the pics guys. Keep em coming.

[shuriken]

Not so much an old pic, but I was rumagind through some old clothes and stumbled upon these. For hilarity's sake, I will take a pic wearing one in the future.
http://s221.photobucket.com/albums/dd17/dcroks/TMNT_2/?action=view&current=Davey034.jpg
Two pajama shirts and a t shirt, all from montgomery ward. I remember when we got the TMNT III one too. We were looking for couches and my mom told me i had to get a new shirt, so when i found this one i was like I want it i want it i want it! and I got it.

[cryan]

I was not a big TMNT fan.I loved the original seriesdon't get me wrong but I never was into the figures and what not.Though I would look at them when I was at Walmart.The OT was fun and didn't take itself too seriously.I saw all 3 of the live action movies as well.For me though the OT was where it was at.

[KittenBunny]

http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i72/robolobo/Leome.jpg

I totally love this style of Turtle 'mascot', or really I guess you could just call it a costume? its so cute and huggable and squeezable as, so cute! I really wish I had one like this, or if I had one like they had at the Disney-MGM studios where they performed that little dance in the mid 1990s, I only wish I was there when it happened instead of being stuck on this little island

xxlo

[Discogod]

I'm gonna have to dig out the photos of me in my home-made Shredder costume from when I was 9 or 10 - red pajamas, cardboard armour...

[shuriken]

So here I am with my giant Raph toy. I took him to picture day in Kindergarten. It was awesome.

[Fugitoid Jones]

^^^ Nice! I wish I had been cool enough to bring my TMNT action figures to picture day...:tsad:

[Powder]

I'll definitely be making good use of this thread. I finally came across all of my old photo albums. There are some dope shots of me rockin' Peter Laird art bearing pajamas, my 5th birthday where I got the entire Metal Mutants line, and me in some rare Next Mutation t-shirts. Lotta neat stuff.

[Abnormal Freak]

So gonna look through the photo albums to see if there are any pics of me in my glow-in-the-dark TMNT pajamas... Ha ha!

[shuriken]

So gonna look through the photo albums to see if there are any pics of me in my glow-in-the-dark TMNT pajamas... Ha ha!

You just reminded me of my glow in the dark tmnt boxers. Actually my ex girlfriend bought em for me as a joke gift and I tried em on and they fit pretty well. I'm actually wearing em right now:lol:. But yeah I'd take a pic but I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't find that too appealing.:P

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome pics, guys. Keep them coming.

[Kendamu]

Just recently came across this.

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome pic. I like it.

[CuRSh14]

Here are 2 pictures. The first one I bragged for ages about to my friends. I took a picture with the ninja turtles! lol
The second is of my room. I had decals on the wall, curtains, and not pictured were TMNT sheets that matched the curtains. Also, if you look closely in the bottom right hand corner of the second picture you may notice something as well :)
http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/5330/tmntsmaller.jpg

Taken with a ninja turtle camera! Surprisingly, I am not wearing my TMNT raincoat nor TMNT PJs.... which was a rarity.

Also, not sure if it is applicable... But my GF and I this past halloween.

Those walls decals are pretty cool.. nice

[Fugitoid Jones]

That pic of your bedroom is awesome, CuRSh14. I'm trying to get my current bedroom like that.

I'm so jealous of every dude on here that has a gf that's into TMNT or is willing to dress up like April. :tcry: I gotta get outta VT.

[Abnormal Freak]

Ah, finally, I can properly contribute to this thread. http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif Scanned all these today.

One sweeeet, badass shirt. I'd wear a men's medium of this if I could find one.

And here's a closeup of the shirt:

Yeah. :) There were plenty of photos of my brother wearing boss TMNT shirts (and shorts!) as well.

Didn't find any pictures of me in my rad glow-in-the-dark PJ set. That made me sad. :( Those things were soooo cool.

Edit: Looking at another photo, I realize I'm actually wearing TMNT tennis shoes in that picture with my dad and bros. Check it out. (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=8371143&l=40ed596ee4&id=690670434) (When you click the link, go to the bottom right and click "Download in High Resolution". It's the only way you'll be able to see that they're Turtles shoes. I sadly can't direct-link the full-sized image.)

I seriously wish I had an adult-sized getup like that. :p Mickey Mouse T-shirt included.

[dontplaydead27]

I was looking at these pictures and decided to post the couple that I have on my computer. And to Abnormal Freak, I had that Turtles shirt as seen in the pictures below, and I also would wear it today if I had it in the right size.

This was me...I think those were pajamas but I'm not sure if I wore them for Halloween once. If you look at the shelves under the fan behind me, you'll notice the four TMNT videotapes from Burger King.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k32/dontplaydead27/mehalloween.jpg


This is a picture of me and my brother, wearing that awesome TMNT shirt that I would still wear to this day if I had it. In the right size.
http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k32/dontplaydead27/mebro.jpg

[Abnormal Freak]

That's just such a cool illustration. Someone should find and post a hi-res image of it.

[dontplaydead27]

I agree, but good luck on finding that image, unless someone can hunt down that shirt and pray it isn't worn to **** and can get a good picture of it. I'd be surprised if anyone could find that illustration any other way. So if anyone reading this likes challenges, find that picture that's on that shirt in a hi res format.

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

Awesome thread. Sweet pics dudes. I'll to check the family album.

[Luzmagica]

Finally...an old photo that I can share/post without showing myself... :tgrin: !

I've been asking myself the same question since I found the picture. :P

[Machias Banshee]

Hm.... I noticed something about Jester's Dad. The picture where he's looking down at the table - he looks like a slightly younger Rob Paulsen.

Jester... is there something you're Mom hasn't told you yet? :P Or maybe your dad's leading a secret double life? ;)

Yeah... I don't see it... :P

You weren't the only one! I thought the same thing too!:tlol:

[NiNi]

Aw, great photos of childhood memories!

Sadly I don't have any photos from my childhood that have anything TMNT oriented to be honest. ...last I checked anyway. I'll have to look. But that Donnie plushie shown in a previous post reminds me of how I used to have that plush. ^^

[ZariusTwo]

I do have one TMNT-themed Christmas on tape (1995 I think) when my brother and I got these inter-connecting playsets (Shreder's hideout for me, and a Pizza Parlor for my brother), but most of the video consists of me explaining to him how the playsets link up and then reading a vintage Doctor Who annual for ten minutes. I didnt get much Turtles merch back in the day except the books (which was fine by me as I spent all my time reading), and these sets were for the micro-figures, so they were pretty cheap, no way could my parents afford the big stuff at the time, which was getting rare to find as the old show was just about done by then

[zkarlette]

You weren't the only one! I thought the same thing too!:tlol:

I had to check this out.. And I agree. Now we know why he is such a fan.:)
