OMG!!! You and I have something im common. I was a fan when the Turtles first came out.I was young back then. When I heard of the figures I had begged my mom to buy me one. Well she had promised me she would one day after school. That day after school I ran to the car only to find that she bought me Ninja Turtles cookies instead.
I asked her why she didn't buy me a fugure and she said that I would enjoy the cookies better. Anyway a few weeks later was Easter. I woke up to an Easter hunt in my house. I was finding all the eggs and then I looked in the corner and there was my Michelangelo figure. Man was I ever happy. OMG, it was like I found a pot of gold or something. My mom made my Easter that year very good. When my mom came over for Christmas last year she was looking at my horror collection and saw that I have bought the 12 inch Turtles. She was like, remember when you were little you loved them. I'm 21 now and she knows that i still love them. She thinks it is the coolest thing that I like Michael Myers from Halloween and TMNT at the same time. Oh yeah, I still have that Michelangelo figure.
