Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Kevin, I live in NC (USA), and I have recently started piecing together memories from my childhood now as an adult "collector". I initially started watching the turtles back in the early 90s at the age of five or so. Like most little boys that I knew at the time, Ninja Turtles were probably the only thing I cared about for quite a few years (With Leonardo and Donatello being my favrorites). Of course, they were all just toys to me and I treated them as such. Needless to say, none of my originals have belts, many have "blood" colored on them in red marker, and really, they probably all belong in a fodder bin somewhere honestly. Searching online for figure information, I came across this site and have found it to be one of the most useful sources of information regarding TMNT as a whole. I hope to contribute my own experiences (as I start buying more figures/learning more about TMNT) and would also like to bounce questions etc. off you guys when something isn't making sense to me down the line. Okay, I have done more than enough introducing/ranting here I suppose...
