How old are you? What's the average age of the Technodrome Member? - Page 2

Michelangelo · 12-02-2013, 04:59 PM

I'm 32 going on 33 early next year.
Not surprised that most are in the 28-35 group.
Another interesting poll would be to see how many people are from which country.
I am from Australia.
Nice to see there are some older fans and that there are of course younger fans coming on board too.

I'm 43 (44 in March '14)!! Been a fan of TMNT since the #1 issue dropped from Mirage! I didn't really collect the figures though as I was around 18 when the figs started coming out. However I bought many of them for my nephew at the time and watched the 80's toon with him every week.

I didn't start becoming a toy collector until years later as an adult (mostly DC Comics stuff). However when the Nick Turtles toys came out I couldn't resist. After buying everything made so far in that line I turned to getting a set of the NECA figs (bootlegs from ebay...still haven't received them yet) and in the last week or two I started buying the old 80's stuff. My goal is to get 1 of every character to display in a glass cabinet. Just in the last couple of weeks I've already purchased more that 50 of the classic toys, plus a lot of the 2003 line. Thanks to several sellers here on the technodrome for helping me out with the hunt!

I just joined here after finding out about it through my search for classic toys. Its a great community here and I look forward to hitting this site every morning!

I'm 27. I grew up on the Original TMNT Cartoon.

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 12-02-2013, 07:12 PM

I'm 29 and grew up watching the OT and still remember getting to go to see Secret of the Ooze in the Theatres. We were pretty strapped for cash growing up and it was a real treat that I got to pick the movie! (probably not such a treat for my patient parents, lol)

*Shogun26* · 12-02-2013, 07:53 PM

Also born the year of the turtle, 1984.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 12-02-2013, 07:55 PM

I'm 17. I didn't grow up with the old cartoon, but i try to watch what i can. Let it be online or on DVD. Other then that i've watched every Next Mutation *_* (oh no. Never again..) and 2k3 episode. And I'm just watching the nick tmnt as it comes. Sometimes I'll rewatch some 2k3 episodes... Yep

cammy85 · 12-02-2013, 08:00 PM

I'm 34!! I love watching oldschool TMNT!!

Gwydion · 12-02-2013, 08:20 PM

30 - Grew up on the original cartoon, and while I didn't really get back into the fandom until the Nick cartoon, I kept an eye out for all things TMNT regardless. Almost joined the boards back when the 4kids show was airing, but I couldn't get into it so I didn't. ^_^;;

*chrisdude* · 12-02-2013, 08:40 PM

I'm 26. I grew up with the cartoon and the movies. I was watching the cartoon too early in my life to remember starting. But I do remember seeing the third movie in theaters

Nameless · 12-02-2013, 08:44 PM

25 and i have loved turtles for along as i can remember

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 12-02-2013, 09:02 PM

Wow- apparently, I'm only the second oldest member here, age-wise, according to the responses so far. I'm 37 TODAY! Yup, today was, in fact, my B-Day, and it looks like I'm older than almost everyone here, from the ages I've seen posted. Great, now I feel REALLY old.....

*sdp* · 12-02-2013, 09:03 PM

This topic is depressing, I was but a teenager last time I replied to this and now I'm 27.

Dammit, we're all getting old, aren't we? It feels like the last 10 years since we graduated High School has just flown by.

I remember in the early 2000's still watching Batman/Superman/Batman Beyond/Justice League/Teen Titans, Pokemon, TMNT 2k3, DBZ, X-men Evo...Futurama...etc.

I can't believe this is all 10 years ago now.

*PApagreg* · 12-02-2013, 09:10 PM

18 just barely an adult

Dirty Blond · 12-02-2013, 09:32 PM

I'm 32; it's depressing AF.

*shuriken* · 12-02-2013, 09:49 PM

I'm 24. And I've answered a similar thread question at least 4 times.

clodguy · 12-02-2013, 10:52 PM

I am feeling old more and more... My younger sister (6 years younger) visited from college the other day and was saying, "Man I feel so old!" then she looked at me- she says "But then I think of how old you are and I feel better!" Yeah, that comment made me feel grrrrreat.... Thanks sis!

I'm 31, but if you saw me in person you'd be surprised I'm that old.
