How old is everyone here? I'm almost 20 years old, myself.... I find that people think it's odd that I watch cartoons/anime and still buy figures of different characters. Especially when I tell people I still like TMNT. Make me feel better guys! Anyone older than me? :goofygri:

I am 20, so you are not alone! :D Personally I like the Turtles and I don't think it matters how old you are, you can still be a child at heart and love all the things you did back then. I think it helps childhood seem like an extended period anyhow...who says you need to grow out of your favorite superhero(es)? :)

sletia
12-04-2003, 06:51 PM
Heh, I feel a little better now.. this "childish" feeling came about when I mentioned to my cousin, who LOVED the show as a child, that I had the new eps on tape and he just gave me a look like "uh, why would I be interested in cartoons?" -__- So I guess I'll have to take my lil Splinter and Leo-lovin' self to the forums where the rest of the freaks are! :P :tlove:

I'm 21, BTW. And I don't feel weird about my hobby. It actually surprises people, because they believe the whole "TMNT is for children" thing, and they can't believe such a mature (attitude-wise) person is into it. It makes me happy, that's all that matters. :)

I'm the ripe old age of 26. I made the mistake when I started High School that I was too old for toys and cartoons. I missed out. :( Just look at all of the men in their 30s+ picking up Hot Wheels cars. They are toy collectors and are not shy about it.

I love my hobby. I agree totally with Kali. If it makes you happy, then don't be ashamed of being a TMNT fan, at whatever age you are. Hey, I wear the shirts and my watch out, and I've had some great conversations with people who've noticed and also love the show... and are grownups.

But yeah, my family's real supportive of my hobby. Even my brother's friends are on the lookout for new stuff for me...

I've always noticed that majority of forum members (and TMNT fans in general) are in their late teens/early twenties. I guess that makes sense, since we were all children during the eighties/nineties when the TMNT burst onto the scene.

My dad watches Buzz Lightyear. He has the action figure on his desk at work. He always says "If you don't grow up, you can't grow old!" And no one, at least no one who values their life, would call him childish. (Go ahead, call a six-foot-tall, 300 pound man, childish. I dare you.)

I'm no fan of the show, but I do watch it every now and then. I watch many shows off of Cartoon Network, Toon Disney, Disney Channel, Fox. I don't do SpongeBob or most Nicktoons, either, even though I know lots of people who watch stuff off of Nick.

I remember back in 1991 or 1992 when I bought the tmnt figures, people thought I was too old for tmnt even then. I was about to go into high school, and I wasn't supposed to be into childish things anymore. Hah, oh well..

Thank you!!!

No one should let people force them into hating the things that helped make them who they are. The only reason people do that is to put themselves above others. They want people who watch cartoons/anime ect to look kiddy and for themselved to look "cool". Screw them.

I have never stopped loving cartoons and toys and other things that society deems as "kiddie". I now have more mature tastes and think a lot of "kiddie" stuff out there today is stupid, but I know what is quality at any age. What I'm really looking forward to is when I become a father. I hope to be a really cool dad because I won't act so high and mighty over my kids. I'm probably gonna be watching cartoons, playing with toys, and going to see animated with my kids just like I do now by myself. It should make for a very interesting parentlal role. Hopefully, whoever ends up marrying me will be able to keep both the kids and me in check.

That's really cool of you. I remember my dad used to watch Saturday morning cartoons with me and my brother. I still remember that. Your kids will, too. And they'll appreciate that.
