Hmmm...hard to say
The original cartoon got me into tmnt, so i have a very fond appreciation of that.
The cartoon led to toys, and since I somehow managed to hold on to good part of my original collection, as an adult I became a serious collector (thnx wholly to ebay...
). First toys and then everything else, inlcuding all volumes of the comics.
And now I love the new show as well as the new toys. Its just hard to $$$ keep up with everything cuz I have limited funds and I want soo much!!
But its fun...and thats all that matters...
