How did you play with TMNT toys?

My battles would normally be epic battles that started out on the sewer playset where things would be pretty even. Then once the TMNT fought their way to the Technodrome the bad guys would take home court advantage and most of them would be injured and/or captured very quickly.

All except one. Usually Raphael.

Whoever was still in fighting shape at the time would rescue his friends, brothers, and whoever else and would regroup with whoever else was still able to fight. The group would then ambush the bad guys one-by-one until the Shredder was the only one left. Then, while all simultaneously attacking the Shredder, they would get their asses handed to them (because Shredder's a badass) until someone gets a lucky shot in and takes him out.

Then I'd grab some of my homemade "Ninja" weapons, go outside, and practice martial arts while pretending to be Turtles with my friends.

I would play with my brother's figures. Sometimes they went on adventures, sometimes they would stay home. They were really off the wall- one involved some bad mutant turtle trying to abduct one of the Turtles claiming he was his biological father and the Turtle refusing.

My stories were closer to that in ridiculousness than a normal, sane TMNT scenario. I wanted most to just do specific things and try to pretend they didnt happen all the time, such as using a turned over clothes hamper as a cage. I always thought that was fun for some reason but didnt want it to seem redundant so I was always cautious not to do it more than once per session. I also liked tying a figure up with twine or hanging it to the ceiling fan with thread. It'd spin around several times and then eventually fly off.

Also, on the story front, I guess my scope was a little too ambitious because most of the time the battle was "the final showdown" and was supposed to determine the fate of everything, and then I'd have to say "okay, that never happend" the next time I played.

Alot of problems were solved by "using the Turtle-Blimp!" because that was the coolest vehicle easily, except for maybe the Turtle Van and the inner-tubes, and I'd stack everyone who could fit on it and then crash it.
