Does anyone else think the Turtle Blimp was their best vehicle?

Radical.

I always dug it through a child's eyes, but it's really an impractical, poorly-designed mess. Forget the lack of stealth, how about the lack of f*cking SEATBELTS?

The thing is fragile enough for an errant branch to cause a near-death experience, and not only is there only one seat, there's nothing keeping any or all of those riding in it from falling to their death almost immediately after take-off. April or the other Turtles would never go up in that deathtrap.

That said, we all wanted the toy. That was one of those toys I never had but a few of my friends did. Most of 'em just liked bopping the inflatable blimp part around until it finally broke.
