Blast From The Past!

Hi everybody! I'm Jen and I'm a TMNT nerd! I watched the original cartoon, ate the breakfast cereal, and my sister and I collected every single TMNT Archie Adventures comic book. I think the two of use were more into those than the Mirage comics but I've been trying to read all the old stuff lately.

I was out of the TMNT fandom for awhile as I moved onto other things, you know, one of those people who loved turtles but had become interested in things like boy wizards and anime.

But I watched the new movie and now I want to get involved again. I want to buy all the movie toys, find out more about some of the characters from the movie that weren't in the first three movies or the original cartoon. I may even track down copies of the current series cartoon DVDs and that that weird, live action ninja turtles show with the Venus girl. That would be interesting to watch. I assumed that show was created as a response to Power Rangers.

I don't know about you, but would have preferred a series with Mondo Gecko than a new turtle.

Oh, and I have figures of all kinds. I didn't collect as heavily as some of the people I've seen online. o-o I maybe have a handful of the original figures and some of the new. I just bought the movie versions of Don and Raph, my two favorite turtles, and I think they are just so freaking awesome I now have to have every single set from this series. I LOVE the new turtle 3D design and I hope they use it for tons more stuff! A TV series maybe? My goodness the possiblities! :O Mostly though, I want more PSP video games, because the one game we do have is a bit low scoring for us gamers. Not as much as a challenge or as much fun as I thought it would be when I bought it. Want a nice traditional TMNT game with the new style, that'd be sweet. Maybe am updated remake of the first TMNT game. o-o Oh wow thats a good idea!

A bit about me: I'm a writer and artist from Ontario Canada. If I could meet any of the characters from the series it'd so be Mondo Gecko. Lol. I am suck a metal head/rocker, the two of us would totally cut tracks together! I also do fanart of all sorts of series, and slash fanfiction (not Slash the turtle! Though Slash did rock in his own rip roaring way!)

I plan on writing a TMNT fan fic of Mondo proportions. Mwahahaha. I love Mondo. I've also been having some fun with screen caps. I read the Macros thread and just about died laughing for two days straight. I have a feeling this forum is going to be sooo much freaking fun!

Oh and one last thing. Cowabunga is SO not a dead word! Cowabunga lives! Don't let awesome fantastic righteous totally tubular words go into obscurity because people are obsessed with the 'next big' fad. I would hate for Mike to pop out the bling and start saying 'fo shizzle yo!' It just would NOT be Mike!

COWABUNGA!
