Just a teenage turtle lover!
Hello fellow TMNT fans! I'm a sixteen year old boy who has slowly become incredibly obsessed with the four turtles.
My first introduction to the heroes in a half shell was with the original cartoon. I had a few of the episodes on VHS and watched them over and over ("Case of the Killer Pizzas"). It blew my four year old mind! I quickly began asking for Ninja turtle toys, and my Uncle who grew up in the 80's, was kind enough to give me a Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo, as well as April O'Neil, and Splinter. One of my earliest memories from Grade 1 is bringing in Michelangelo, and Raphael and telling my friends about how cool these teenage mutant ninja turtles were. I remember teaching the kids at school the theme song, and how they all thought it was funny that the turtles ate pizza. A few years later I noticed that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were back on TV! I was seven or eight at the time and I was so excited to see new episodes. To my dismay, this was an uglier, less funny version of the turtles that I knew and loved. TMNT2K3 is a series that I didn't like when it aired, and I still don't like it all that much.. My obsession with the turtles started to grow this year, and I am going absolutely turtle crazy. With all of the hype of the new Nick show, I was so uninterested in it. The art style bothered me, and it seemed like a way that Nickelodeon could make a few more bucks on the turtles name. When I was at my Dad's place, I just happened to be channel surfing and noticed the new show was on. The episode was Monkey Brains, and I am now a diehard fan of the new Nick show. The art is perfect for the show, and it is by far one of the funniest shows on TV right now! I got a Donatello toy for Christmas, and I took this photo :  I then wanted to complete my set of Turtles, but be done with the toy collecting. Ha, like I could do that? A mere 3 months later, and I now own Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, Splinter, Shredder, Metalhead, Dog Pound, Foot Soldier, and Kraang. I just need an April! Here is a photo of me : I look young in it, but it shows you my obsession with the turtles!  I'm lucky enough to have a totally awesome girlfriend who appreciates my love for TMNT. She bought me the 10th season of the original show on DVD, and a TMNT shirt. This is a photo of us on Christmas :

Welcome! Hope you have a good time here. Love those Turtle shirts! Took me a while to realize that you're username is a reference to "Baxter's Gambit"

Welcome, cool to see more teens around. Good luck finding an April. You're lucky, the newer cases of figures shipping to stores have April in them again so you could be seeing them on shelves now.

Welcome aboard. I still wonder why people have such a hard time finding April. I can run out right now and get 10 of them..
