Old Turtle memorabilia

[Danceingfae]

I just moved into a new place with my husband late last month and lately we have been going through a lot of our stuff which was in storage. As expected I came across a lot of my old ninja turtle stuff, action figures, backpack, folders, a lot of fun stuff that brought back fun memories. But none made me laugh as much as my old dairy!

In it I have entries about when I bought certain turtle action figures, my Halloween turtle decorations, silly dreams I have had of meeting the TMNT and me asking Donny for a turtle com! Oh it was a blast (From the past, literally, lol).

You gotta love finding old stuff like that!

That is so cute, Fae! The only Turtle memorabilia I have are old toon episodes recorded on VHS (with OLD commercials!!) and various other store-bought VHS. Come to think of it, I think I DREW the Turtles when I was a teenager (back when I collected the Image comic series), but those are nowhere to be found

I love finding old stuff like that though!

I hope the move wasn't too rough there Fae and you're enjoying your new pad!

Finding old TMNT stuff is fun! The feeling you get is almost like when you first got it or made it. In fact, there's a couple of boxes of TMNT stuff I need to go through one of these days. I'm kinda glad I didn't label them... otherwise it'd ruin the surprise.

I wish I could share the experience!  My parents actually wanted me to act like a girl so the only TMNT toy I got was a used Rat King from a thrift store.  But I do have memories of kidnapping the neighbor's Usagi toy and trying to keep it.  *L*  Oh come on, I was a kid!

Thanks Mindychan, i specialize in being cute   but i have to add in that i found even more stuff after this post. I had Ivey on the phone while going through this stuff and one of the few things i found was old posters one from the first movie of the turtle sitting in director chairs with thier names on it (plus a little mermaid one and the guys from the old cartoon). I was so surprised that i shouted "OH MY GOSH!!!"

And a bonus, in the backpack was a ton of the old TMNT comics from the archie series! It was so cool looking though those again!

Most of our boxes aren't labeled so this is a bit of a treasure hunt for me (especially with this box) and hubby. We're loving the new place and having our own space!

I was lucky that my parents didn't make me act any girly way or such as a kid. I had a very free childhood to do as i please (in certain aspects). My spirit is very free and wild

Consider this a public service announcement.  *L*

Parents, your child isn't going to turn into a butch biker babe if she wants to play with Ninja Turtles and GI Joe toys.  Besides, they're cheaper than Barbies.  GIVE IN!

Oh, come to think of it I did have a gigantic stuffed Donatello when I was a kid, but I don't have him anymore.  When I was 9 I broke my foot and the neighbor who had been a family friend for longer than I'd been alive made me walk on it.  She used to be a nurse and she was SO sure I hadn't broken it.  When she found out I had she felt so guilty she gave me a stuffed animal, tons of balloons and then on Halloween gave me the Donatello.  She didn't know my favorite was Leo but of course I didn't correct her, I was just happy to have the toy!  

Aww, I feel all happy now!  Memories are good.

Just the other day I was in the basement looking for some canned food or something when I came across my old TMNT drink box caddy with a picture of Raphael from it doing a sort of leap over the cartoon logo. I am so psyched to see I still have it!
