What's your age? Age survey of your average TMNT fan
 

Since most of us were around for the original Turtles fad of the 80's and 90's I imagine most TMNT fans are pretty much old fogey's. If we were kids in the 80's and 90's we would be adults now.

However the 4kids and Nick generation of TMNT brought in a whole new generation of younger fans as well. These new younger fans never experienced the first generation but grew up in the second or third gens.

So here's a survey. What's the age of your average TMNT fan here on the technodrome?

I'm 24, born in 1990. But the 4Kids series was not my first exposure to the Turtles.

I was lucky to live in a place that rerun the FW series tons of times on tv back in the late 90s/early 00s. And since my older brother was into the Turtles I got to play a couple of video games as well.

It sucked there being no toys of the Turtles in stores back when I watched the FW series reruns, though.

I just turned 28 yesterday lol xD I'm gettin up there!

I turn 27 next month

I'm not quite sure how to answer that. lol

At the moment I'd mark 30-35, but sadly I lose that group in four days. Tough decision, do I answer now and hold on to a fragment of my "youth," or do I wait and answer next week. lol (Also, how did I get to these numbers...)


Real answer: still 25 on the inside.

Me too :lol: I am 24 now (turn 25 in october :D) and my first exposure was the next mutation. I know it´s nowere near to be great, but as a kid I didn´t want to skip even one episode!

Voted 27-29 just before I turn 30 next month :P

31 here - and remember, age is just a number, dude. Everyone gets old and dies eventually - it's inevitable.

Twenny fizzour.

Ill be 27 on Thursday next week :D
The day 'Age of Ultron' is released here in the UK. Not a bad way to spend the day :P

Twentytwo.

For some reason, I thought you was older than me.

I'm like 12, and I've seen all of the '87 toon, 2k3 toon, Next Mutation, and I'm up-to-date on the Nick cartoon.

You're only as old as the woman you feel.

I'll be 28, next month. I was born the year of the FW cartoon.

Interesting. 19 of the first 30 people polled are between 27 and 35 years old. So let's just say right around 30. That would mean born around 1985 and kids during the original cartoon. Just goes to show that while the original cartoon might not have necessarily been the best TMNT cartoon, it's definitely the one that's most remembered and most responsible for creating TMNT fans.

One can say that it was also the one most advertised and had a pretty stable episode run date. Everything I've seen from 4kids and Nick, I had to catch online, because I rarely saw it during it's run time. And then there was the old toon's syndication, I would come home and get to watch it every day after school at about 4:30. No such luck with either the 4kids or Nick toon.

But hey, go figure, most people I know, if I was to ask them their favorite story line, it's always either Raph meeting Casey Jones or Leo/Raph getting beat by the foot, and neither were shown in the old toon.

I'm 28 and my first introduction to the Turtles was the 1987 cartoon in the early 90s. I watched it for nearly a decade on TV when I was younger, as it was regularly rerun on Irish television from the mid 90s to late 00s. I also watched the 2003 cartoon in my late teenage years and early 20s.

Just turned 28, but in the best shape of my life. :)

34 going on 15!!!

That ends at me, so not helping. :lol:
Heeey, day after me. :tgrin: Happy early Turtley Taurus birthday.
And to fellow April senpai and any others. :tparty: 'Cuz Aprils are awesome 'n stuff.

I answer in the form of a shirt

I'm 34. Became a fan in 1988. :)

Happy birthday for 4 days from now :)

Didn't we do this a couple months ago> Wasn't it a Cubed thread then, too? Yeesh.

32 and change, but I don't talk about it much.

That shirt is hilarious. This thread does seem like deja vu...but. I will be 37 this year.

Wow, I sure am part of the minority here...

Looking at the poll so far I suppose I was right, TMNT fans are OLD. Besides all the new little kids growing up with the Nick version, the rest of of us are heading toward middle age.

I feel like we are all pedafiles viewing this pole :lol:

I was born in 1984 on the 2nd of June, so I'm 30.

I feel like a beautiful 24 year old woman.
But am a 26 year old male.

I'll use this quote, as my girlfriend is like 30, which is a better age than I am.
And plastroncafe, your avatar is so me, except I have a head!

29 nearly 30 years old veteran fan:lol:

I'm 18 right now.

I'm surprised more people aren't older here or I guess they haven't voted or don't post anymore, I remember when I first joined ten years ago most people were late 20s or early 30s and now that I'm in my late 20's I'd expect most members to be in their late 30s haha.

When I came here back in 2004 (which is now over 10 years ago, yikes), I remember a few people in their late 20's or early 30's....they probably either got bored of TMNT or just moved on from the fandom.

I was only 18 when I first came here...lol.

I'm 35, and was about 7 - 9 years old when I originally saw the OS TMNT cartoon back in the late 80s. Tho as I recall, I only saw a little bit of the toon before the 1990 movie came out, so I really grew up with both of them at the same time.

Turn 31 today. Born in 84 like the brothers.

30 until the 27th July.


....good god....I've forgotten how old I am.

Happy birthday!!!!!! :D

:tgrin: Thanks
