Ways friends/family have supported your interest in TMNT?

~~blockhead~~ · 01-13-2011, 11:25 PM

-When I was a kid my mom threw a TMNT birthday party for me

-My dad taped secret of the ooze for me when it came on tv back in the day and bought me lots of the toys and playsets

-one of my ex girlfriends bought me a bunch of vol 1 tmnt comics. same girl also made me a pillow case with raphael's picture on it (she was into sewing) she also gave me head while i leaned back on the pillow and we watched the old toon

-my best friend as a kid gave me several of the figures as presents

-my mom got me a tmnt costume for halloween one year

-my friend and i had an OT marathon while we tripped acid one night

What have you guys done with loved ones related to tmnt or how did they support your interest in it? I'm lucky to have a lot of cool people in my life who think my interest in tmnt is awesome.

Considering this forum is based on a "Childrens Cartoon", keep it PG, okay?

Are we not allowed to talk about sex on here? I guess I assumed most people here were in their late teens and up. I didn't think much of it cause that really did happen and after all it was turtles related! I tried to not make it graphic so as to not be offensive though. I thought it was really cool of her cause it was combining two of my favorite things: ninja turtles and being with a beautiful girl (who I was in love with at the time) I still have that pillow she made and I really like it. She made me things that went with a lot of my interests. She made me a plush of cloud from FF7, a godzilla plush that unzipped and had a little heart inside, a my neighbor totoro giant pillow, a dbz pillow and drew me pictures. She thought it was "cute" that I liked tmnt and would listen to me talk about it. I even got her to read some of the comics!

Well I mean, you didn't necessarily cross any lines perse, but there are kids who post here and that is why the topic is kept strictly in the "Volcanic Asteroid" section of the board, for those 18 & up or whatever.

As far as being on topic, my TMNT tattoo was paid for by my family as a B-day gift.

I saw your tattoo on your facebook, it's pretty cool. I like the interpretation of the turtles you chose, it looks kinda like the turtles on the packaging of the old toys. the turtles have the multicolored head bands so it isn't mirage, but they also have no pupils so it's not like the OT. did you base it off the toy line version of the turtles? and where did the picture come from? concept art or an original design?

Thanks, man. I got it from the back of an Archie collected book that was released in 09. I picked that piece because like you noted, it sort of looks like an amalgamation of all of the previous versions of the turtles. The artist is unknown, however. The book does not credit him/her and no one at Mirage could recall who did it.

I really liked the first few waves of figure box art, the ones that looked like this:

I always thought the later ones like the one below looked sloppy and kind of lazy too because they were the same for every figure. They were a lot more boring. This is the one I'm referring to:

To me, the first one looks like Playmates was taking their time and trying to put out a good package. In the second one, it seems like the mentality was "Let's just use one bland package for all the figures in this line. Who gives a **** as long as they keep buying it?"

*ToTheNines* · 01-14-2011, 06:37 AM

My sister's always kind enough to play TMNT games with me when ever I get the urge.

My dad's side of the family are big time flea market/yard sale people, they always keep an open eye for Turtles stuff for me.

*Luckyday* · 01-14-2011, 06:40 AM

They dont know about it yet and I want to keep it that way.

*BubblyShell22* · 01-14-2011, 07:35 AM

My BF got me a Leo alarm clock and the first Turtles movie for my B-day one year. My mom also got me Turtles Forever for Christmas and a TMNT shirt from Kohls. My sis also got me a TMNT shirt for my B-day last year.

Desslok · 01-14-2011, 07:59 PM

My parents bought me a Leonardo snuggie this last Christmas.

When I was younger they bought me all kinds of TMNT related stuff, I remember one day after school climbing into the car and they pulled out a VHS of one of the movies and a related figure, I was pretty happy.

raphfan84 · 01-14-2011, 11:09 PM

My wife buy's me TMNT stuff all the time as well as my family. Simple as that she and my family support my hobbie all the way through.

*shuriken* · 01-14-2011, 11:30 PM

my ex girlfriend bought me a TMNT shirt and the Neca Black and White figures. I wanted to marry her right then and there. She also helped helpe make me a foot ninja costume for Holloween 2 years ago. but alas
My sister gets me TMNT shirts and stuff all the time. Currently wearing a TMNT shirt she got me for Christmas.

TMI dude. TMI

*Eiko* · 01-15-2011, 12:20 AM

my Husband and kids and my Mum support me. But my Dad thinks I'm to old for Ninja Turtles. I told him it is who i am so be happy about it.

Abnormal Freak · 01-15-2011, 01:02 AM

I suppose my friends support me by not making fun of me. :p

A lot of 'em think it's pretty cool how much I like the Turtles, though.

My good gal pal usually asks me if I've picked up any new Turtles comics or cool finds, so she has a genuine interest both in the comics (I lent her the first collected book and she enjoyed it) as well as the things I care about.

why did you make a wikipedia about your life?

*Katie* · 01-15-2011, 05:43 AM

.....uh, that's not a wiki about him.

Also, it's not prudish that we don't want to hear about your sex life. Normal people don't go around telling random people about their exploits. I'm sure you wouldn't want to hear about my sex life or anyone else's around here. That stuff is better kept between you and your hand...I mean partner...(I assume you do have someone?)

People who need to talk about it a lot are teenage boys or sex addicts...maybe you need help?

Anyway.....my friend gave me the original movie poster. And gave me all of volume 1. She's a huge anime freak so I keep my eyes open for stuff she'd like too

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-15-2011, 10:30 AM

My Father and Step-mom think that I'm to old and constintly berate me for it. More of my stp-mom then my Dad. He at least lets me be me when I was around.

My sister picks me up random things when she sees things that I might like.

I've dated girls who have and haven't minded my fandom. Over all though most people I know let others like what they do.
