cool, i have never seen any photos of the turtles in disneyland.
hm 90-94 the show wasent that popular in 94 and they shut down the turtle attraction, dont know if thats the truth. the popularity on the turtles stopped in 95 after that the biker mices from mars was the new big hit.

as far as i can remember the rival or the other popular action cartoons that came out when turtles was big.

the toxic crusadors - based on the b-move the toxic avenger from 1984.
i used to have the dog with his long tongue and the bad guy in the cartoon show.

power ranger - i was never any fan of it i used to despise it. almost everyone else in my class start liking the power rangers and throw turtles to the side.
but just months after power rangers was the nr 1 action heroes the biker mice from mars did get to the throne.

but for me tmnt will always be the greatest show for kids in the 90s.

I remember the Toxic Crusader's only because I had the action figures made by Playmates, the same company that made TMNT.

I watched the First season of Power Rangers, but I got bored with it quick. I also had some PR fig's.

i didnt know that playmates was making the toxic crusaders toys to, but they made a lot of money on it.

toxic crusaders did not last for long i think they gave up after one or two seasons and the comics also stopped at late 1992.

maybe playmates are planning to get a new version of the toxic crusaders on tv or in action figures.

There was a game for NES too.





Some of the molds for the vehicles were those of already existing TMNT vehicles.

woaaaw big thanks i never have seen so much old tmnt toys.
i still tries to recover the loss of my entire tmnt collection cuz when i moved into the city in 97 all my toys were wasted by my mom god i hated her for that. but now i can hopefully find the old toys that i always wanted to find.

i like some of the new action figures but for me the real thing was the old toys so many different charachters and so many vehicles and bases.
