Long time TMNT fan, new to the fandom

I tend to be more of a lurker than a poster, but considering I've been browsing these forums off and on since a few years ago and a fair amount recently, it seemed appropriate to finally sign up.

I grew up loving the '87 Turtles, playing the NES games, and watching the movies, but being a young girl that only knew boys that liked TMNT, I didn't really get the chance to hang out with other fans (ah, the age where boys thought girls had cooties). I would always give the new versions of the franchise a try, but I never really got into any of them, so while I was excited to see the newest version, I was skeptical as to whether or not I would actually enjoy it. Long story short, I love it, and I find myself wanting to actually interact with fellow fans - something I never had the chance to do back during the Turtlemania of the 80s/90s.

Few other random Turtle related facts about me are that I've never read any of the comics, though I would like to, I only have one action figure from the old days (Shell Kickin Raph) that after years of being missing I saved from the lawn mower, and while Mikey was my favorite at the age of 4, that changed to Raph after I saw the first movie and he's been my favorite ever since.
