What was your first TMNT fig?

SpiderHulkThing · 02-26-2007, 10:03 PM

What was your first TMNT fig? Whether it be from the old school figures or from the new lines.

Mine was the original Donatello. My dad brought it home after work and gave it to me when I was four, 1989. I carried around wherever we went and he ended up going back and buying me all the other ones from the first series of figs.

Sorry if this was already done, I couldn't find it.

My first fig was Krang's robot and Krang in it that I could pull out and have two separate figures. It's been a long time since I was a kid. I sometimes forget how stupid I was--I drew all over Krang's robot!
I like that toy but I don't like to dwell on it. Not with so much hate being driven towards the new series because of that old one.

Ace Duck and a Wacky-Action Mouser (bought simultaneously)

yeah, i'll have to say, when the new series came out, i was hesitant. but now that i've watched them and got into them, I can see a lot of great things about the new series. I'm not talking about Fast Forward though, haven't watched any of them yet, so I can't judge those. but I heard they aren't as good as the stuff from last year and and 2003-05.

But I think the old school figs are better than any of the newer ones. I bought some of the oringal 2003 figs, but they just didn't do it for me.

I was so little... I don't quite remember which was my first. I do remember having a Mikey figure, and found it great that you could spin him on his back like in the cartoon intro.

I know I had a Splinter too... probably had Mikey first, though.

My favorite turtle was raphael so my first figure was the first raphael figure, I later got the other 3, shredder a foot soldier and as years passed TONS more turtle variations and other mutants

*Sewer Bull* · 02-27-2007, 01:54 AM

Foot Ninja.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-27-2007, 02:07 AM

My first fig was Storage Shell Don and my 2nd fig was Secret Spy Don. I was about 9.

*Roseangelo* · 02-27-2007, 02:16 AM

My first fig was the original Michaelangelo figure. I was 10.

Scavenger · 02-27-2007, 04:49 AM

The first one I got was a soccer Raphael (Dunno the real name). My brother had storage shell don, raph (dunno which version), Michalengelo (with spinning hand, I think that Raph is from the same series), transforming leo, Shredder, underwater raph?, original Don. Later I got party wagon, Leonardo boat, motor bike, another water thing, big helicopter, Donatello that could jump, Ratking.

Much later I purchased the first Leo, Raph and Mike figure and the 2003 Leonardo. I dont buy turtles anymore because I collect Transformers and Gundams.

Lionheart3239 · 02-27-2007, 08:21 AM

The first figure that I got was an April O'neal figure 1998 edition. I still have her with all her weapons in a plastic bag. Wow that was 9 years ago.

JetsAndHeels · 02-27-2007, 10:29 AM

I remember having all 4 of the original turtles when they first came out. The Leo was my favorite from then on.

Boagrius · 02-27-2007, 04:44 PM

Rat King was my first.

*Sonic777* · 02-27-2007, 05:02 PM

Krang's android body.The small one.

Robhp03 · 02-27-2007, 05:06 PM

I dont remember what figures I got first when I was a child. I know I had the originals and the mutation turtles.

But when I started collecting again in 2002 my first figures were MOMC
1988 Raphael - Soft Head / Fan Club Form
1988 Rocksteady - Soft Head

*BigApple3AM* · 02-27-2007, 06:14 PM

I found some old home videos of me a while back and so I watched them and in one video I'm in the backyard playing with gengis frog and raphael and I keep throwing them around and our old dog was picking them up and my dad was yelling at the dog and telling me not to throw the figures anymore unless I wanted them chewed on so the last thing before the video cuts off is me throwing it again anyway

I was like 2 years old, since it was 1989. I remember being in Toys R Us, it's a really hazy memory because I was so young (again, 2) but I grabbed a donatello off the peg, they were at the very beginning of the aisle and the retromutagen ooze was there since it was 89. What's funny is I can actually remember clear as day how I got into turtles, I was at a babysitters and the sitters kids had turtle figures and wouldn't let me play with them. They also wouldn't let me play the turtles video game for NES. Jerks.

Leo has since become my favorite, but Donny will always have a special place in my heart, I think he looks the best of the original figures even if he's not my favorite anymore.

bmxbandit · 02-27-2007, 06:32 PM

my first figure was the original leonardo and then the foot tall version of leo as well. he was/is my fav.

Time Mistress · 02-27-2007, 09:33 PM
