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!!!
