Mirage (1984) = 3 years old, no idea of TMNT at that point
 Original cartoon (1987) = 6 years old, first got into Turtles then 1990 Movie (1990) = 9 years old, TMNT maniac at that point 1995-1996 = 14/15 years old, waning interest in the line as the toys and cartoon also are wrapping up (and no new TMNT characters as toys, just variants of existing characters permeate the line) 2k3 series (2003) = 22 years old, not that interested in the property at this point. CGI TMNT movie (2007) = 26 years old, briefly reinterested in the property (but not outside the toys for this movie and the movie itself) Nick series (2012) = 31 years old, interest fully reignited! |

Here it is for me...
Mirage (1984) = 3 years old Original cartoon (1987) = 6 years old and loving the turtles. 1990 Movie (1990) = 9 years old 2k3 series (2003) = 22 years old and in college. Saw some of the toys but really didn't pay any attention to it. Nick series (2012) = 31 years old and got back into watching turtles with my boys. They got me into comics. Been hooked on Mirage and the new IDW comics ever since. Also bought the original cartoon on DVD and boys love that too. |

I'm probably one of the younger guys here, so better prepare.
Mirage era (1984): Not alive Fred Wolf Era (1987- mid 90s): Sister is born and parents marry in 94. 2003 series: 3 years old (I did catch a few episodes though growing up) 2007 movie: 7 years old Nick show: 12 years old (full fledged fan) Current: 15 years Yeah, I'm shunned now. Time to sit in the corner. |

Yeah you are one of the younger ones here, but that's awesome! Were/are your parents fans? Anyway here's where I am... Mirage(1984)- 2 Months Old(so pretty much exactly the same age) 1987 series- 3 Years(didn't discover it until I was 5. After that point...HUGE fan of the show and movies for the rest of the run. Also got into the Archie comic series in the early 90's) Movie-verses(1990)- 6 Years(seen ALL of the movies at the theater as they came out) Next Mutation(1997)- 13 Years(actually loved the aspect/introduction of a female turtle and as a plausible romantic interest. Haven't really seen it since then, so not sure how I'd feel about the series now) 4Kids series(2003)- barely 18 still 2007 Movie- 23 years Nick series(2012)- 28 Years Bay movie(2014)- 30 Years I remember getting into Turtles through introduction from a friend. It was either late summer or early fall of 1989. So I've been a fan for 26 years now. Really enjoy/love all incarnations of the franchise. |

 But nope, nobody in my family cared for it because my parents were in their twenties at least and my sister didn't care for it either. Then again, most of my friends don't pay attention to the franchise sadly.

But I think I'll go rock in one for a while, hugging my knees of course, until I figure out how it is that I'm old enough to be a parent to younger members.  I remember when this age sounded old...Young fans are just as much needed as old ones; gotta keep handing down the TMNT love each generation. |

Mirage comics: Not born yet
'87 series: Not born yet 1990 film: Not born Yet 2003 series: I was 11. Still vividly remember the "Totally Turtles Premiere Party" in my dad's front den 2007 movie: I was at the end of my 14th year Nick series: Age 20 PD TMNT: Age 22 I remember my mom renting VHS tapes of the '87 series from the library when I was 3-4, maybe 5 years old. Near the time 2k3 came out, I persuaded her to buy a VHS of Secret of the Ooze from the Dollar General store for $3' (that store also carried the occasional copy of "Batman: Mask of the Phantasm," good times as I recall). I had neer seen any of the live action TMNTs before. I watched that tape a lot but didn't watch any of the others for some reason. After 2k3 ended, I needed more for my fandom and watched the 1990 film for the first time during my freshman year of high school. Then, in my sophomore year of college, I found a beat up copy of Mirage collected book 1 at a used bookstore for $10. Even though I have since bought all the Ultimate editions, I still have that old paperback.

Mirage (1984) = 1 year old
Original cartoon (1987) = 4 1990 Movie (1990) = 7 1995-1996 = 12 2k3 series (2003) = 20 CGI TMNT movie (2007) = 24 Nick series (2012) = 29 I've been a turtle fan since I could first recognize them. My father is still patiently waiting for me to grow out of them but the chances of that are slim to none since I'm in my 30's now and still obsessed

Mirage (1984): not born
Original Cartoon (1987): Year of my birth (August) First movie (1990): 2 1/2 4Kids series (2003): 16 1/2 Nick series (2012): 25 The original cartoon and movies were still present in television when I grew up, so those were my first contact. I didn't care for the 4kids series before 2011 (when I was 24), which was when I suddenly really became a fan and began to read the Mirage series (my favorite incarnation now). |

Let's see.
Mirage- I was born in may of 86 so the comic came out about 2 years before I was born. 87 series- a year old and some change. Not sure when I first got into it but I do know the turtles are apart of some of my earliest memories. First movie-3 years old. First movie I ever saw in theaters. Next mutation- 11 years old in 6th grade. Watched it but remember feeling slightly embarrassed about it. At the time I thought it was because I was growing up. Now I think it's just cause the show was pretty bad. 2k3-16 in the 11th grade. Checked it out out of curiosity and it ended up turning me back onto the franchise. Tmnt(2007) 20 or 21 depending on what month it came out 2012 toon-26 Now I'm 29 and have plans to give up the fandom |
