My god, I loved TMNT so much.
I remember my Mum got me a Donatello action figure and my brother got Leonardo, and we were both cut that we didn't get Michealangelo. Raphael was awesome too.
During my playtime for a long long time after that, Donatello beat the living shit out of GI Joes, Legomen, then had a fight with Voltron, but then they became friends and went on a rampage through the kitchen bashing in the heads of army men. Then I got a Scorpion doll from Mortal Kombat and Donatello's arm got ripped off by the dog.
I also recall spending some gigiantic sum of money, like at least 12 dollars, which was a lot when you're 8 playing the Ninja Turtles arcade game. Only Golden Axe or Double Dragon was better than that shit.
Bah, backpacks under the shirts, everyone did that. But did you take the head off your mop and stick rulers in the backpack and beat the hell out of cacti out the back of your house...
Ahhh good times...
