What was Turtlemania like?

[sdp]

I always thought I had lived through the turtles fad but after thinking about it, the timeline doesn't make sense I would've experienced it when it happened, I got to live some of it but it's like joining the ~Pokemania Pokemon Fad after Gold/Silver came out, which is after the fad had peaked.

I mean I remember the wave 1 turtle figures but I'm guessing those were re-relesed plenty of times, I had the TMNT 2 NES game and played Turtles in Time in my SNES/arcade. I had a Burger King VHS of the original show but I never really caught the show much on tv since there weren't many re-runs. I remember everyone loving the TMNT but i also don't remember seeing any of the movies advertised, I first saw the first two movies on PPV back to back. I remember turtle stuff everywhere and shelves always having tons of TMNT figures.

So I'm guessing the turtlemania I lived was more of 1992-1994 which is when the Power Rangers fad began and after that turtles stuff started slowly disappearing. I'm guessing the golden years of the fad was more like 1989-1990.
