When the Evil Shredder Attacks...

[El Roranous]

I was at Target yesterday and was very surprised to see some "original" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the shelf. Apparently, it's the 25th anniversary of the turtles and I couldn't be more jazzed. I quickly and without hesitation bought both Donatello and Michelangelo... well they are my favorite turtles how could I resist.


Some great nostalgia packed into these little guys. They definitely have pizazz. Has anyone seen any of the villains in stores. I "need" them but am not sure if they are producing them as well. They are on the back of the box but who knows. I was never lucky enough to have them as a kid.

This is not at all what I thought this thread would be about going by the title.

But then, I never watched any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.....

..........i was expecting a video of a guy loading a paper shredding machine and gets his tie or shirt stuck into it..........

Here you go Jen...

They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (We're really hip!)
They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Hey - get a grip!)
When the evil Shredder attacks
These Turtle boys don't cut him no slack!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Splinter taught them to be ninja teens (He's a radical rat!)
Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Raphael is cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
Michaelangelo is a party dude (Party!)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Heroes in a half shell
Turtle power!


Now that's turtle power.

That would be pretty kick ass I must admit. Funny shredder videos would make a great thread.

That's a fact Jack.



By the way, I forgot to mention that these figures come with episodes from the original series.

I instantly thought of Ninja Turtles!

So Rory i'm curious these are reprints of the early 90's turtles? VERY Interested if so!

These are the original Turtles from the animated series which I believe started in 1987. The box says 25th anniversary, 1984- to present so it's a bit perplexing honestly.

These aren't the very original Turtles. You know the ones that had all the bandannas and knee pads the same color. Those were done by Neca, these are from the company Playmates. They even have those weird brown accessories that you have to break apart from each other. Some I have no idea what they are but I didn't back then either.

I think by 25th anniversary, they mean of their creation by Eastman and Laird, not of the TV show.

I really hope they sell the original Turtle van again! That thing was all kinds of awesome!

Yeah, that's what I figured. The only reason it was a bit confusing was because there were no other boxes marked with the 25th anniversary emblem-just these guys from the animated series. It's a whole brand anniversary and not just the animated series anniversary.

Since that's the case i do hope they release some of the Turtle figures from the movies.

"Bet he never has to look for a Can Opener"

damn that smiley needs a bandanna for this thread

 

[galactiboy]

I was hoping this was a thread about the NECA Shredder and Foot Soldier figures... starting to think those aren't gonna happen.

 

[El Roranous]

I wish they resold this one... I wants it. Never had it.

Something involving clothing or body parts being torn apart by a shredder. You know the office gal who's skirt gets caught and then woops - she's standing there in her undies.
