TMNT childhood memories

*cowabunga14* · 03-03-2005, 06:19 PM

In this thread write about your most remembered,funniest,most touching,and greatest TMNT memories as a young kid/toddler. Be creative and have fun typin' up your memories. I got some great one and I'd like to share 'em. You can share like when your were a kid if you can't remember any as a toddler.

Alright, let me start. The turtle craze back in the day was such a high for us kids and everyone was hysterical about them. Well one of my more prominent memories starts on a sunny Spring afternoon as the school bus I was riding pulled up to our stop. I saw my mom talking to one of my friends mothers through the window and as I got off for the usual hug and constant turtle talk she surprisingly cut me off and told me how surprised she was that so many kids had the toys. She told me she was talking to a couple of parents and was convinced to buy me one. I couldn't believe my ears!!! That evening we went to a local RockBottom in the neighborhood and low and behold a whole end cap devoted to the turtles!!!. They didn't have Leo as that would have been my first choice but it was still VERY hard. Since I had no TMNT stuff aside from some books I couldn't make up my mind as I stood there for what seemed like an eternity trying to figure out which turtle to get. I could care less of the other characters at the time, the turtles were top priority as they were quite rare to find at the time due to the large demand. So I continued to stand there trying to decide. I didn't want to just get one because he would be all alone brotherless and when my mom heard that she told me to pick up all three of the turtles!!!!!

That nigth was one of my favorite of many TMNT memories and I still ask her about it time to time. Oh, the memories of childhood. Hope you enjoyed!

hmm, I have a lot, but the one that I most remember is getting the Party Wagon, and a Basketball Donatello along with a Baseball Raphael and just playin for hours with them.

The very first time I seen the TMNT is in the 2nd movie, "Secret of the Ooze". One of our family's friend's son, Blake, traded another movie for the TMNT movie. When I was 4, I asked Blake if I could watch it because I was of course curious because it was so popular back then as well as today. I was afraid for a silly readon because I thought the mutated turtles would look like monsters and I would have nightmares about it. But, I feel in love with the TMNT and I had dreams instead of nightmares.

-Short but this is my fondest TMNT memory because it was my first!-

**Jester** · 03-06-2005, 08:00 PM

I have pictures....but i'll only post them if u want me to....don't wanna kill a thread...

I do remember playing with my freinds and we never argued over turtles, we each liked diffrent one....i was always Raph, of course. i used to use sticks with 3 prongs or those tent stakes with the lil' green plastic piece as sais....dangerous, but hey i was 8, i didn't care....we also played with the figs...i never had any varients of the turtles...my parents didn't see the sence in having 27 raphies....but i had most of the first releases....if only i hadn't sold them....

*PizzaPower* · 03-06-2005, 08:02 PM

that sounds cool. The first tmnt ep I have ever saw was where I was 3 and I was flipping the channels and I came accross this green turtle, he was Mikey although I did not know who he was so anyway it was the ep "Michangelo Toys Around" My favorite episode today, luckily I have this ep so I will never forget about it.

When I was about 10, some of the neighbourhood kids took over their parents garage and built a makeshift "sewer system" out of cardboard boxes, shipping crates and an old AF issue parachute. Some kid with questionably legible handwriting scribbled "THE LAIR" on the side of the largest box. The insides were then outfitted with flashlights for lighting, our moms' hair dying towels for carpetting and other such trinkets we smuggled out of our homes.

After school, all the kids in our cul-de-sac (eight in total) would strap on whatever TMNT gear they had and then go chill out in the Lair until our parents announced it was dinner time. The only requirement to hang out in the Lair was that you were a Ninja Turtle. So at any given moment, there would be 3 Leonardos, 2 Michaelangelos, 2 Raphaels and 1 Donatello. Splinter was played by my decrepit Manchester Terrier/Poodle, Robyn, who always wore doggie jackets because her hair was falling off and she was always shivering.

The kids who lived in the cul-de-sac across the main road from us were instantly coined "The Foot Clan", and we'd plot their demise on a regular basis.

Lioness-Goddess · 03-07-2005, 04:58 AM

Well, the old TMNT show was pretty much over by the time I was old enough to remember it. But when I was reeeaaallly little I had a plastic ninja turtles raincoat. The back looked like a shell, and the hood was a head. I think it was Raph.

Also, Next Mutation was around when I was in elementary school. Having only five channels, I liked it. Me and my friends would play that all the time. We would ride our bikes around the yard and call them motorcycles.

I remember we had 'ninja hide and seek' as well. Whoever was 'it' had to be Shredder. Then he / she would count to 100, and we would hide. Then as they looked for us, we would have to quietly get back to base, but if you made a sound, and they saw you, you were out. *sigh* I forgot all about ninja hide and seek until just now!

We had ninja tag, too, but I don't remember how that worked.

Now I am going to have to say this is a true TMNT van. My Brother use to be a TRUE Batman van, he used to where he's Batman costume out everywhere, lol. I remember playin TMNT just with my self and my brother andI had a TMNT mask.

*cowabunga14* · 03-07-2005, 05:42 PM

One that I remember was when my mom rented the first movie for me from Blockbuster. When I watched it I had more respect and more fanboyism for the Turtles. I was little when I rented and when my mom said she had to return it I cried. I wanted to literally see the movie again. Blockbuster should let you renew what you rent. I loved the TMNT more I thought I would after I first saw the movie. If I didn't pick that movie up I woulda picked up some Spider-Man cartoon. Now I have the actual tape and the DVD of the first movie.

LionO · 03-13-2005, 09:13 PM

I think this was either the first or second Christmas when I knew their was no Santa. Since money was tight that year I bought myself a Christmas present and that was the Double Barreled Plunger Gun

That was my first and sadly last TMNT vehicle so it was very memorable. Aside from that I also got a Mutagen Man as a surprise. I was really happy because I never found him and always wanted him cause he looked so cool on the back of the cards. Anyway, that was a nice surprise!

BaldMonk · 03-13-2005, 10:40 PM

Ah... Memories......

I remember the series had just started, and I was hooked just from the opening intro... it was great. Well, the next day, having lunch on the field, some boys a year older were playing with one of the figures... I was staring at it like crazy and he said "Hey kid, whaddya looking at?" And I was like "Oh, where you get him? Can I have a hold" To which surprisingly, he said "Yeah, go for it"... I played for it for a little while, so not to be rude, and he said I can find them anywhere, he got his from a store called "Farmers"... so I got home, told my little brother, and we continued to pester my dad until he said he's get us one. IT was Friday, so he took us out that night. I can't remember if they had the regular figures, but we both grabbed a Wacky Action figure each... I got Raph, and my brother got Donatello... and it all took off from there... more and more, we'd do heaps of chores, and go out every 2 weeks to get another... it was great. We also got a little money every week to put into bank accounts, and one day me and my bro were sick, and sent mum out with our bank savings to get us some toys... she got me that Trashcan slime throwing vehicle thing, and Psycho from Toxic Crusaders... I had no idea Toxic Crusader figures were out, so it was a nice surprise

Bye bye savings... haha.

**Kali** · 03-13-2005, 11:00 PM

The only childhood memories I have of TMNT are my drawings. I really don’t have a good memory for past events, but I distinctly remember all the TMNT drawing I did. And I remember drawing girl turtles.

I wish I knew where those drawings got to. They might have been saved and stored away, but I wouldn’t know where to look.

TheShowstoppa · 03-13-2005, 11:02 PM

Lemme see... I was 5. I remember walking into a store that, at the time, was called Ben Franklin. I walked to the toys isle as most kids my age do and I say an endcap full of TMNT! They had never been seen to my eyes before and I was hooked on them. I pulled my mom over and WANTED ONE! She usually was all like, not today, etc. But she said yes! I saw one with blue on his wear and instantly wanted it because blue was my favorite color.

The next Sat. I woke up early and turned on Cartoons. I was flipping through the channels and saw the end credits for TMNT. I freaked out! The next weekend I woke up early enough to catch it... sense then, I've been hooked on them!

Shadow Leonardo · 03-14-2005, 09:01 PM

I remember when I was around 3-5 I use to go to my friends who's names were William & Chris who lived all the way in El Paso, Texas because I live in Alamogordo, NM. Anyways we would always go to the mall there and buy either a TMNT toy or a Power Ranger toy from Kaybee. One day we went into Kaybee and my Mom and their Mom said we could get one toy we all instantly rushed to the TMNT section and I got the Mutating Leo, William got Mutating Mikey, and Chris got Mutating Raph. God I missed those days. Also back then they had the Tournament Fighters game, I would always beat William, but Chris when he put Shredder against me I never had a ghost of a chance

. Ahh my TMNT memories.

*zkarlette* · 03-14-2005, 09:49 PM

I remember going to a mall with my parents and seeing Leo giving out authographed pictures and ofcourse I got one

sadly I dont have it anymore

darn

twopinacoladas · 03-15-2005, 03:54 PM

I remember the first time I saw a TMNT figure, they were out in the US but the show hadnt yet come on in Canada yet (nor had the figs) my best friend just came over and had a Leonardo, I was still into Ghostbusters at the time. Me and my friend drove Leo around with the Ghostbusters in Ecto 1. I wanted a TMNT fig bad.... time went by, people knew I wanted them... I had to wait a while, my aunt went down to Duluth, and when she came back she dropped Leonardo and Rapheal off for me. I cant remember being so happy as a kid lol it was the greatest day. I set them up beside my bed, and the turtle craze begun lol.

Later my mom went again to Duluth for the weekend and she brough back Mikey and Don another happy moment. But going to see the TMNT movie was pretty awesome I had to bug my parents for a while, it was the first movie I saw at probably 5 yrs old.

I remember ppl my aunt/mom etc said u wont like those forever you will grow out of them, I said I would like TMNT forever... well I sold my TMNT figs at about 13, then I got back into it lol. Bought some used off Ebay and watch the new toon and collect the figs... I didnt even mention the comics.

*PizzaPower* · 03-15-2005, 04:34 PM

I also remember kids stealing my tmnt toys. But I do not really want to go into a lot of details about that. I also remember when the next mutation previews came on. I was so exitied because I had not seen tmnt since the red sky series. It was a big COWABUNGA.

*That Matt Guy* · 03-15-2005, 06:00 PM

So many to choose from. I got the TMNT "subterranean hockey" game for Christmas one year, after months of whining about wanting it. My dad put it together that morning, but we quickly found out that the top piece that you move the players on was a hunk of warped plastic. The game didn't work. I cried and threw a huge fit about it.

*cowabunga14* · 03-15-2005, 06:30 PM

One I remember was whenever my grandma came to visit form Texas she'd buy a few Ninja Turtle figures. I remember goin' to Toys R Us or Target while I was in the cart in the Ninja Turtles action figures aisle and pickin' out what I wanted. Some figures that she bought me would be Krang wih his walker, Movie Star Foot Soldier,and Mutant Master Donatello. Those figure were really rad and I'm glad that my grandma spoiled me with the TMNT figures I wanted.
