Has "Turtlemania" reached its height yet?

I think the Nick resurgance is helping cement them as a cultural icon, rather than just a one-off 80s show. As good as the 4kids show was, most people didn't even notice it. And the 2007 movie was just a blip on the radar. Nick seems to be better at marketing and general public awareness is higher now than it has been in years. The comics seem popular for the first time in a long time too. It's a good time to be a turtle fan.
I know some of you are too young to remember the rather insane "turtlemania" phase of the late 80s and early 90s, but it is nowhere near that now (and I'm glad- a little too crazy for me). I don't know if it ever will be like that again, but it seems they will stay in the public's consciousness for at least a little while.
