TMNT Memories

I think this should be a sticky thread, but this is the thread we share our TMNT memories, whatever you want, from childhood until now.

I think most of us grew up with the 1987 show, Archie Comics, UK Hero Turtles comics, toys, movies and video games and other stuff when the franchise peaked in the late 1980's and early 1990's, then didn't care for TMNT during the late 1990's and early 2000's when the franchise seemed to been dead, re-discovered them with the Internet and the 2003 show, learned about the Mirage Comics and became interested again.

my memories, or one of them is when i was a kid. i was 5 years old. my mom took me and my older-teenage brother to see the live action TMNT movie. it was an old theater. i dunno if it was out awhile or if it was a dollar movie at the time. i know it was in1990. so while mom pays for the tickets. i ask her what are we seeing she says "the ninja turtles." and i'm like the cartoon? and she said no "the movie'' so i look at the posters on the side. and there it was.

the movie posters where they have the turtles peaking out of the manhole and i stood there staring and wondering "they made them real?" as a 5 year old i believed that somehow they turn real -real life ninja turtles. in my mind i figured that they had that ability to become real.

it was one of those magic moments as a child....

I remember going to the first and third movie the most. The first one I remember being so hyper after it. Me and my younger brother came running out of the theater and where doing our ninja moves. The third one we where in Canada visitation the falls so I remember that trip pretty well.

Then there was the Christmas I got the lair playset. Man I loved that thing it either came with ooze or I got the ooze in a stocking. Either way with in a minute of my dad putting it together the slime was dumped all over it.

I posted many of my memories in a now-dying topic down the page.

I was told to and then I killed the topic. I won't dare do it again here (unless I copy/paste, which I think is against board rules).

But I do have tons of others. I might have to try to remember them now...
