What was your 1st TMNT item?

Mine was the 1990 1st live action dvd.

Edit: Sorry, if your first item was a VHS, you can vote for TMNT DVD.
Sorry prescribeddrone!!

Either a toy or the first movie on VHS.

*ToTheNines* · 11-28-2009, 03:49 PM

I little while after I got my NES, my dad took me to the video game store and we got all 3 TMNT games used... awesome day

*Scandia* · 11-28-2009, 06:54 PM

My brother had the Ninja Turtles toys back in the OT era. But the first TMNT goodie that I bought for myself was probably a comic book. Either that, or the 2k3 DVDs. I am not completely sure.

*Oculus Orbus* · 11-28-2009, 07:03 PM

The OT Mikey figure, for my birthday I think. That was great, I still have it. I remember I painted pupils on his eyes to make him look like in the cartoons. That's probably the only custom I've made in my life, and it didn't come out very well!

*Raph's Girl* · 11-28-2009, 07:39 PM

My first TMNT item was a TMNT Adventures comic....I don't remember which one... I think it might have been #3....

longbowhunter · 11-28-2009, 08:12 PM

Man,posts like this make me feel like an old timer. I believe my first TMNT ANYTHING was an issue of the Mirage Comic...I think Issue..7 or 13...it was the one where Splinter switched bodies with the old man who wanted the TMNT to get his grandson to accept his ninja legacy. I was instantly hooked and tracked down as many back issues as I could. I remember seeing an ad in one of the Mirage comics for the upcoming toys and waiting on those to be released...my grandpa bought me the whole set when we found them at Toys R Us.

I voted as the "Everything Else" option. Ha ha, I can't believe I really did it, but I bought a full size TMNT (2007) poster with frame. Cost about $50 for everything, but it still makes me smile every time I look at it...

Seurat · 11-28-2009, 10:02 PM

For my birthday - I mighta been, like, five - I got a Raphael action figure, a Bebop action figure, and the Footski. Good times, good times...

TurtleGuy · 11-29-2009, 03:08 AM

My first TMNT item was a video tape my grandma recorded for me and my brothers that had a bunch of episodes of the OT on it and the 2nd movie.

My second item was the first NES game that my dad brought home.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 11-29-2009, 06:14 AM

I voted for TMNT DVD, but it was a videotape back in 1991. It was long before DVD (only videotapes and laserdiscs were around).

*Candy Kappa* · 11-29-2009, 07:14 AM

Turtle toy. Got Leonardo from 88 line when I was a kid

*Jephael* · 11-29-2009, 12:51 PM

I remember getting Raphael and Michaelangelo for Christmas in 1988!

BoggleKng · 11-29-2009, 06:12 PM

Leo, Don and Splinter for my birthday!! Still have the picture of me playing with them the day I got them..

prescribeddrone · 11-29-2009, 07:03 PM

Before the internet, around 1990 or 1991 this was my gateway to knowledge beyond the movie/cartoon/Archie

Anybody else own this?

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 11-30-2009, 12:38 AM

As far as I can remember, a comic was the first thing I had. It was the Archie's Adventures mini-series and I had the whole comics in the 4 part series with a cassette (yeah you heard me a cassette

) that followed along with the comic. It was pretty cool.

Shreddy · 11-30-2009, 12:58 PM

I think mine was the Metalhead figure. Either that or one of those BK VHS tapes that had back in the day. I'm not sure, that might've been later.

*Luzmagica* · 11-30-2009, 01:17 PM

My first collectible after de VHS tape movie I, was a plastic TMNT key-ring....

....

~~Toonami Tom~~ · 11-30-2009, 01:21 PM

My first TMNT item was an action figure. The first one I remember is storage shell Raph (there could have been others before that figure, but I think Raph was first).

saiyan_monkey · 11-30-2009, 01:29 PM

I think mine was Splinter & Rocksteady toys OR I could be wrong, it could of been cards. It was 20 years ago so I cant remember 100%
