Awe crap, I thought this was a survey on how old you are now, I clicked before reading. So please discount my answer in the '25 and over' category.


I became interested in the OT when it first came out, and I was 7 years old.

Oops, totally clicked my age bracket now (I'm 30), before I read it properly...
Sorry! You can mark me down as under 12 - I can barely remember life before TMNT! Or Hero Turtles as it were when I was growing up...

I was 3 or 4 when I really got into the OT. Had all the toys from the classic line. Then they all got sold at a garage sale. Now the rest of my life will be dedicated to buying them all again lol.

I didn't read the title

I discovered TMNT under the age of 12. I put 18-24 because I thought the poll was asking for our current ages. Please disregard that vote.

I was born in 1970 and have been aware of TMNT since it first came out. Started collecting Mirage books (and later Archie books) in the mid to late 80's. Yeah....I'm old!

Wow guys thanks for all the responses. This will really help with the focus of my paper. I probably would've focused more on the turtle phenomenon itself, but the focus of the class is perceptions of age, so I'm trying to focus on demographic. The survey results are showing about what I expected, but it will be really helpful to have something to cite!

Haha almost exactly like me and my bro except for the baby pen and Mikey toy.

Rather limited options. Should have split the first option into two.
