Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the 1990s 
Игры
Were you caught up in the Turtlemania of the Late 80s / Early 90s? Man, what a time to grow up! Hope y'all enjoyed this video. Please leave a comment and let me know your favorite Ninja Turtles memory. TURTLE POWER!
I didn’t exist yet but it is fun to learn about what I missed ❤
A Great Memory Of Mine Was Getting Tmnt 2 For NES During The X-Mas Season Of 1990 And Finding The Coupon For A Free Personal Pan Pizza From Pizza Hut In The Manual! The Early 90’s Was The Peak Of Tmnt In My Opinion. I’m Happy That I Was Lucky Enough To Experience The Peak Of Tmnt In The Early 90’s.
Born 1985. They pretty much ruled the first ten years of my existence. 🤘😎💚
@@Ken_Smith 84' and same. TMNT and then Power Rangers swept too lol.
I definitely was. Back then the Turtles could do no wrong. Which is why I proudly bought the Coming Out of Their Shells 😆
Ah, back when we used to drink water from garden hoses and play outside until the street lights came on.
Good times.
Ah boring 90s. Full of cancer causing hoses and child predators no one talked about trolling the streets
Dude your dad is AWESOME! He is the original RUclips gamer! Congratulations!
I know! Thanks for saying that. He would have loved embracing RUclips
May your dad 👨 rest in heaven 🙏 😢 🥰😇
At 43 I still love the tmnt to this day!
Always and forever haha
42 now and me too. Had to buy all the neca figures
i tell u fam i still go back and play the classics!
Me too! But only old school ninja turds, not this rise of the woke rainbow turtles thing they got going on now.
44 soon to be 45 me too!
I have a 1991 Ninja Turtles pinball machine I plan to keep forever. Turtles for life 🤙
Cowabunga
That's frickin tight bro
Give me Turtles or give me death!
I love my Turtles Arcade 1up machine too! Cowabunga dude! 🐢🍕🕹😍
How much?
I was so into Ninja Turtles, my mom called all my action figures Ninja Turtles.
I saw all but the Michael Bay movies in the theater. My first memory ofna mivie theater was seeing the 1990 movie.
Yes! Ain't nothing like beating the crap out of each other after watching Saturday morning cartoons.😂
I am 11 and I always wanted original ninja turtle sewer. I got the six pack that I didn’t know was just the figures and I was heartbroken why it was just the figures. No sewer and it’s 200
The late 80's and early 90's were such an exciting time to grow up - the turtles were everywhere! Many of the original toys were re-released recently, so I've been able to pick up all the figures that I wanted as a kid 😁
Insane and incredible time to grow up!
TurtleMania has never stopped. Cowabunga dude!
I remember being at church hiding underneath the pews playing TMNT on Gameboy. My favorite turtle was Donatello I can still remember waiting in line outside the theater 1 block long. I totally lived turtle mania lol
This is SIGNATURE early-90s culture... 😎
Man, I watched this video with a smile from ear to ear. I was born in 1987 and distinctly remember playing ninja turtles with my friends in the front yard. And the excitement of getting new ninja turtles toys was just totally unmatched. I remember getting a turtle van that had a slingshot on top to shoot slime. My mom used to get mad at me for getting slime in the carpet lol.
I love that your dad thought to record even mundane moments like you playing outside with your cousins, or something as simple as backing out of your driveway. It's almost like he planned to give you a library of B-roll footage knowing you'd go on to make documentaries of your life. Making these videos is the best way ever to pay back the favor. I am so glad I found this channel - not only for the nostalgia vibes but because it tells a beautiful human story
Underrated comment.
God this brought me back to being a kid. For brief moments I can almost hear my grandparents. Lost them years ago but for just a fraction of a second I thought they still existed. It lasted just enough to want to call them then realized there isn't anyone to call anymore. Thank you
I know what it's like loosing a loved one too, may they rest in heaven 🙏 😢 😇
Touching comment, I kept an old cell phone around with a voicemail from my grandmother for a few years to play once in awhile.
Michaelangelo was my fave! The franchise was totally satisfying to a boy between the toys, the cartoon, and then the first two movies.
And TMNT video games!
You and I would have made good friends as kids, because my mom kept buying me Michelangelo toys and stuff, but I only liked Leonardo! lol. I would have traded toys with you and other things, because where I lived most kids had either Raphael or Donatello. I have never understood why most kids did not like Leonardo like me - but it sure was a pain because I could never find a kid who like Mikey and got stuck with Leo toys! :D
Whoa....... the street performance footage is gold! Gold!!!!!!
I remember a very low rent ninja turtles performance at the opening of our local Taco Bell. Their costumes as I remember consisted of nylon stockings with balls stuffed in the cheeks. So funny thinking back at it!😂 wish I had video footage.
Videos like these inspire me to be an advocate for children and a champion of their joy. My parents didn't really like Spongebob, but they know it made me and my brothers happy through the 2000s, and I'm grateful they allowed us to indulge in this big chunk of our childhoods.
There are things today that kids are obsessed with that would make us cringe. But we have to swallow our pride and just go with it, because it's their time to be happy, and eventually they will thank us for capturing and supporting these precious moments of their youth.
Love this
As a child, I was totally obsessed with Raphael too (but in Italy he's called Raffaello, of course). I was a total Turtles-Maniac at that age, at the point that my beloved mom (passed away in September...) allowed me call to the (insanely expensive) official italian Turtles phone line, and she made believe that I've had a chat with...Raphael!
I was a huge Turtle kid back in the day. This video really gave me a huge nostalgia rush. I'd do almost anything to have video footage of me and my friends playing Ninja Turtles in the yard back then. I really enjoyed this video.
Dude Turtle Mania was one of the best times to be alive in. I remember Ninja Turtles were at a mall and we went to go see them. There was also Mario either the same time, or a different time. I think I have a pic with Mario somewhere. Unfortunately it was 80s cameras so they're not as good lol.
Yeah, as I got older I was moving on to other things like Power Rangers and Jurassic Park(movie and toys), I don't think I watched much of the later seasons of the Turtles, I'd say 91-92 was about when I was moving on, but those Turtles will always have a special place in my own heart. I always went for Don in the games 😊
So true, I am a Turtles and Power Rangers fan myself, and I too love Jurassic Park! 🥰🐢🍕🕹
I will stand by that people our age were so lucky to grow up In the 90s.
Not everyone lived in America some countries had it bad
@@enviousshade1770 Yes, the Bosnian genocide & Rwandan genocide especially comes to mind (too name a few). I grew up in the united states in the 80s and 90s - but understand that back then a lot of people had it bad too here. I grew up in a place were we were very poor and lots of bad things where happening to me (I also had no dad and we had no food). But the advantage of being in America, was at the very least, I can fondly remember the 90s as a time that was peaceful for most here. Compared now were things are still bad, but now the entire country sucks too. Compared to the genocides in the places I mentioned and other bad things globally, I understand why people from those countries do no like that time.
I'm glad I saved all my turtles stuff for my kids. My son uses my Turtle "locker style" back pack. I miss those turtle pies and the cereal. I remember my dad suprising me with all the Burger King Kids Club released VHS tapes of the Turtles. I still have those too. I rented the Ninja turtles video game all the time from Blockbuster. My favorite turtle was Donnie.
I feel ya, dude. Born in 81, so about 7-8 when Turtle mania hit full force. I 100% share your love and passion for the OG TMNT generation. Movies, arcade games, figurines, ice cream, posters, graphic novels, cereal ....Turtles Forever 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀!!!
This flooded me with memories. Playing with the toys making the weapons pretending to have weird toppings on my pizza. Thanks for sharing with us Tyler.
I remember getting The Technodrome for my birthday and all of my cousins went crazy seeing that reveal underneath the wrapping paper. In fact my cousin Cristopher took over and picked it up over he’s head and everyone followed him to my room spazzing out, while I still had lots of gifts to open up LOL!!!!
This took me back to the birth of the 90’s.
Thank you for all your contributions to the retro community, Tyler.
I had a Technodrome too, and a Sewer, Turtles and April Van's, Blimp, Pizza 🍕 shooter, Shredders module and car! Loved all the toys! 🐢🕹
@@Josh-Man me and you both! Was very grateful for being able to have those toys during those times.
1990 to 1993 I was 10 to 13 years old. So I was slightly older when Turtle mania was at its peakness. But I still loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I had the toys. I had the Raphael toy with his sais you could equip in his hands. I watched the 1987 cartoon. And I loved the two live action movies. Especially TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze. Love this video. Thanks, My Retro Life, for sharing your home movies! 😊❤❤😊
From the comics of the 80s to the cartoon of the late 80s to 90s, I was obsessed with TMNT as well. Still remember trying to beat the first TMNT NES game, and collecting the Turtles' action figures.
I was a Leo kinda kid, the dual swords were just way too cool, also Casey Jones was such a badass with all his sports equipment he'd use to beat ass.
I love Casey Jones! "Cricket, nobody understands Cricket!" 🏏 😂😂😍😍🐢🍕
Turtlemania was indeed BIG! Everything about it was perfect for a kid growing up with older brothers. The toys were priced modestly at $3.96 each. So I could actually save up money to buy at least one at Wal-Mart or even two from Kay Bee Toys discount bin. I even remember gifting one at a birthday party I was invited to. The live-action movie just made them alive to me. I knew they were in costumes in the back of my mind, but that was the most believable versions of them in "reality". Those were some fun times!
I vividly remember meeting the Ninja Turtles when I was 4 at Disney World in 94’
I had the entire bedroom suit, movie posters, games, figures, etc. I still love TMNT 30 years later 😂 I even had the sweater you were wearing.
I used to watch tmnt here in Brazil in 1989 and in the 90's as well
My parents never thought Turtlemania would go away.... Then Mighty Morphin Power Rangers came out. I love the turtles so much.
True confession- I never liked Power Rangers even at Age 6!
Theres a cross over of power rangers and the ninja turtles @MyRetroLife
@@MyRetroLife that's cool, most kids my age (9-11) when it came out said they didn't like it either. It was like live action Voltron to me. I also still loved Turtles, but it got harder to find the toys. Like you, I was also a big X-Men fan at the time too. Oh and Spider-Man.
This put a smile on my face. I was born 89 so I remember the second wave
I’m 41 now but I still love TMNT. Was obsessed with the cartoon.I remember my Dad taking me to see the first movie. It was mind blowing 🤯
I've been watching the 80s Ninja Turtles for a while because I wasn't a 80s guy or 90s but I wanna experience old cartoons tv. I'm a 2005 and I love 80s and 90s games, tv and toys.
My favorite Turtle is My boi Raphael cuz he's an Amazing turtle 🐢 ❤
As a child of the 90s myself, I too was obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Some specific memories stand out with the Ninja Turtles, is definitely seeing the first movie with my brother and my cousin and thoroughly enjoying it even to this day. Another memory is the year my grandmother won the bingo jackpot which was $1000 and she used that money to spoil us on Christmas presents and I got the Technodrome and a bunch of figures that year. Finally I remember being absolutely obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 4 turtles in time for the Super Nintendo and every time we would go into a toy store or a or a big retail store I would head to the video game section and see the box art for TMNT4 and just drooling over it, also begging my parents to buy it for me. That year for Christmas I got the game and I couldn’t be happier.
Born 1985. So yeah lol. 💚
PIZZA THROWER Bullet looks like a POGS 🤔💭 😄
Yeah, but they weren't in Alf form
Singular is "Pog". And, not really, the pizzas are plastic but pogs were cardboard.
Love your videos. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and this is exactly how I remember it. Couldn't get enough TMNT
I was also around during that time, too, RetroLife, I was born in 1983, I remember I had some Ninja Turtles toys back on my 7th birthday. Boy, I was happy whenever I got my Donatello figure first, I got Raphael, Leonard, and Michaelangleo, plus I got the Pizza Thrower. It was a great birthday, I couldn't be more happy on that day. Turtle Power! I miss those days a lot.
I was born in 1981in France, so of course I was in TMNT. My very first video game I owned was TMNT on NES, the first VHS I asked my parents to rent was a TMNT 4 episodes tape, I had the toys, the sticker album...
I have a cousin your age and I’m right around your cousin Manny‘s age. We were always close growing up. It would take forever to explain how much I relate to these videos. It’s so cool that your dad left so many memories. I know that he would think that what you’re doing with his channel is the coolest thing ever, and if you will allow me to say. I know that he is very proud of you.
Been waiting for my retro life fix all week 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 needed this one.
Hope you like it!
Always solid 🤌🏼
I’m still obsessed with turtles
Why of cooourse you have the most perfect 90s ninja turtle footage. Your dad captured the most quintessential 90s videogame kid childhood of all time. Videos and pics of me in the 90s are a couple birthday parties or stilted family shots. The reality was I was playing tons of games and also obsessing over the ninja turtles etc. Zero footage though. It's great your dad deemed that stuff worthy of documenting. (not that I blame my family for not documenting it. Your dad is very unique in that regard.) An incredible time capsule that so many of us relate to.
My dad was equally obsessed with ninja turtles. His favorite was Raphael too. When he was 3, some extended family came back from America to give him some turtle toys (we live in Ireland so we had teenage mutant HERO turtles) and he was ecstatic about them.
Man, the footage you have is unreal, I turned 39 today and I feel like I went back in time with your videos and stories. Thank you
I love all your videos Tyler. I was born 1979 but your videos bring back so many good memories from my childhood in Sweden.
Oh man!! Nostalgia overload! I remember I had so many figures, I had the blimp, the pizza thrower, the posters, the games, etc. It was a magical era! Man tear. 😢
Born in 84 i was there for the TMNT and RGB ride! Back when we were kids were actually kids, played hard stayed out till dark.. i miss it especially the hype of TMNT RGB all of it.
I'm a grown ass man I'm still obsessed with TMNT glad they made a comeback and full swing
I was born in 1979. Turtles were pretty big in my house. We had GI Joe's and Turtle battles in our bedroom.
I love this! Thanks so much for this trip down memory lane. I was born in late '88 and I had the Turtles slippers, the games on NES, and I even snuck to a friend's house to watch the the first movie! I was obsessed.
Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles (as we called it in the UK) was the first TV show I ever remember looking forward to every Wednesday night. I remember being probably 5 or 6 years old at school and getting excited remembering it was on TV that night. I also remember finally getting to the Technodrome level on the NES and having to go to my grandma’s house so we left the console on for like 9 hours until we got home which was unheard of for me! 😅
I was born in 83 and absolutely loved the ninja turtles..it was my number one thing …I had the first two NES games ..I saw the original movie in theaters in 1990 and the sequel in theaters as well …I was all in …i had a bunch of the action figures and the pizza thrower that you showed in this video ….i have rebought most of these toys and have them on multiple shelves…it’s great to have them
Oh my God dude...I remember Saturday mornings, sitting on the floor playing TMNT on Nintendo, in my TMNT pj's, eating TMNT cereal, out of my Leonardo bowl (with Trix color changing spoon). The marketing force was strong with this one. This story bears repeating: My brother and I went to see the original movie when it came out as kids (7 and 9?) Afterwards we were looking down the sewer drains to try and see them on a rainy night. 30 years later...he and I went to see the special anniversary theatrical release. It was absolutely amazing nostalgia
🍕🐢🐢🐢🐢
Great video, Tyler! Turtlemania was awesome. In 1994 here in Russia we woke up in the morning to watch the new episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too. Toys, comics, movies, videogames - all of this was so cool, and it is our childhood as yours. Thanks for memories!
I was five at Disney land and saw the same performance. Everyone I have ever talked to about it had no clue what I was talking about and then I saw your footage and it made me smile. Thank you. Still collect tmnt to this day and have many figures, vehicles, and advertisements
TMNT was my favorite of all time. I had clothing, video games, lunch boxes, toys and everything else you can think of that had TMNT. I went to the movies, public appearances and even had all 4 came to a few of my birthday parties. I had almost every toy line up to 2010 of TMNT, but as I grew older I had more responsibilities and it was time for me to let go of the past and move on. So, I sold off my TMNT collection.
Something about playing outside with your friends and everybody gets to be a turtle is one of those childhood memories you truly cherish as an adult.
One of those thing we'd all absolutely love to be able to do again, but if you ever said it out loud people might look at you funny.
But as long as you keep stuff like that in your mind, you'll never truly grow old.
As an adult, you don't break that immersion for kids. When you see kids playing like that, you just smile and remember good times, and try not to do anything to interrupt.
Because we know all too well, just how fleeting those golden moments are.
True escapism, shared among friends.
I was definitely swept in Turtlemania. Transformers stopped with new episodes in 1987 and TMNT quickly took its place. Along with an NES, the games, the toys, the cartoon when it aired all of it. I even saw The Coming Out of Their Shells Tour at both Radio City Music Hall and at Six Flags Great Adventure. I took karate to defend myself against bullies and TMNT, along with Karate Kid, were inspirational for that.
What's your fav song from the coming out of our shells album?
@@theodorebennefield2030 everyone loves Pizza Power, but I also liked Count on Us, No Treaties, and Skipping Stones.
I have pictures of myself with those same turtles at MGM. That was the most wonderful time of our lives and we didnt even know it back then.
I grew up with the 2012 era of TMNT and the Turtlemania that went along with it. I was obsessed with everything Turtles (still am), and that obsession led me to loving every generation of the franchise (except Next Mutation 🤪). So getting a glimpse into what og 80s/90s mania was like really made my day (your dad was awesome)! I'd also like to mention, TMNT 2007 on the Gameboy Advance is one of my favorite games of all time.
Lol your dad deserves a prize for capturing such precious moments.
Loved this video.
Born in 1980 . Yes I was obsessed with the turtles, first played on the spectrum 128k and then onto the sega megadrive ❤ a magical time to be a kid .love from Ireland 🇮🇪
I still have about 70% of my original TMNT toy collection. The rest were lost to garage sales. May they RIP!
Being born in ‘92 I unfortunately missed the pinnacle of TMNT, but it’s something that I’ve became more interested in recently. Thanks to retro game collecting and shredders revenge I feel like we’re in a mini resurgence.
I subbed off this video. You captured those days perfectly bro. It was touching to see you thank your family with a hug at that party. Your parents were obviously really great and I try to instill those values in my kid too. Well done all around. Kids today will never know how special it was and really culturally significant.
born in 1987, and man, TMNT in the 90s as a kid was SUCH a big part of my childhood. also you unlocked memories of disney in the 90s, i saw the same tmnt thing, also had the autograph book they had where you get all the mascot/costumed characters autographs. was so much fun
My older brother was about your age Tyler so I grew up with all his Turtlemania hand me downs. T-shirts, toys, and the movie.
Awesome video, love your channel!! ❤️
Those action figures are so good looking. The villains were all so different, but clearly from the same world. Shredder's Revenge really recaptured the aesthetic for me and reminded me of how much i liked those toys.
Oh man... your video brought me tears! What a wonderful time! Here in Brazil things took a while to arrive (the animated series arrived 2 years after the USA), but we were also caught up by Turtlemania. The arcade game was something surreal, I glued my ears to the machine just to listen to the opening song (where here in Brazil the opening song was cut). I went to see the three films at the cinema, rented all the games, and read all the comics I could. Anyway, I still love them to this day (at least the OG phase), and it was an honor to watch your videos as a kid in love with them. I appreciate you for that! 😊
Great video, love seeing the early 90s stuff. TMNT was my obsession as well. Looks like you have great memories!
Glad you enjoyed!
That’s awesome! Your mom kissed Raphael and got a picture with you and him! By the way, in 2010, I met Rob Paulsen’s sister with her family at a cinema! I was with a friend and it was a great time! He was the voice actor for Raphael, and later Donatello. If you want to count parodies, he voiced Michelangelo on “Anamaniacs”. He was Yakko and Pinky on that show, too!
Dude thanks for this. Totally brought back my fondest childhood memory. I’m about 2 years younger than you and ninja turtles were my life up until 95. This footage was such a warm feeling. My dad fully supported me in my turtle mania just like yours. Cowabunga my dude
Turtles were a global phenomenon I'm a Milennial from Argentina and it was all about the Turtles, Terminator, Ghostbusters, Rambo, Robocop and GI Joe and Silverhawks in the early 90s for kids. Right before the anime boom started in the mid 90s with Saint Seiya, Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball.
The fact that Turtles games were among the best NES and Arcade games available sure helped a lot.
Don't forget Transformers and Garfield!
My favorite cartoon growing up. I watched the show religiously, I played the arcade game, bought the Nintendo games, bought the action figures and trading cards. Great times…
That was amazing to see, never saw it at Disney before. I really miss those good times. Fun, happiness, innocence, and no adult problems.
Thanks for the content man. Brings back memories!
I’m 41 and I still love TMNT just as much. It’s an honor to have been a fan when it all started. #TMNTOG
Man that’s cool as hell of your parents to document all of the Ninja Turtle mania
This is GOLD!!!! TMNT 4ever. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.
One of the best videos I’ve seen on all of RUclips. What a treasure that your dad captured all of that footage!
Turtles were huge here in Brazil as well. Nostalgia!
I can relate ENTIRELY to this. I was born in 83 and in the nineties, TMNT was huge...I was completely obsessed, and I'm pretty sure it's where my love of pizza came from. Michaelangelo was my favourite turtle.
This brought back some great memories, thanks for uploading!
Soooooo the dance finished, and my 46 year old self just applauded. Oh my dude....the memories.
I will always have a special place in my heart for The Turtles. I was lucky to live my Turtlemania a second time vicariously through my own son when he also turned 4 thanks to the 2012 series. I got him figures and dvds and birthday parties and everything. I even gave him many of my old action figures.
This was a great nostalgia trip and fun video to watch and see your own history with TMNT. Thank you!
P.S. I also had that sweater you were wearing near the beginning. Lol.
Man, this was such an excellent video. The smell of pizza in an arcade will always remind me of the great TMNT times. Growing up, I also used to fight as a turtle all the time with my brothers and my cousins in my grandparent's basement. My older cousin was also shredder. Donatello was my go-to.
I'm an 80s baby and I was totally into TMNT back in the day. My favorite NES beat 'em up is still TMNT III: The Manhattan Project.
Thank you for sharing your great memories. I almost cried watching this.same generation, same obsession
I was right there with you. Born in 84, went from He-Man, TMNT, GI Joe, to XMen. Back to collecting vintage TMNT and turtles of Grayskull.
Been waiting for this video! Listening at work and will watch then I get home.
I've tried to explain to my niece what it was like being a kid at the height of 'Turtlemania' in the early 90s. But unless you were actually a kid at the time, you'll never really understand. TMNT (or TMHT here in the UK, as 'Ninja' was deemed too much and was replaced with 'Hero') was EVERYWHERE. I remember my friends and I at primary school pretending to be the Turtles on the playground. Bringing to school coloured scarves into which eyeholes had been cut. Of course because it was so popular we'd end up playing with 4 Leonardos, 8 Michelangelos, a few Raphaels, and MAYBE one Donatello (he wasn't as popular). The TMNT arcade game was one I'd always seek out in arcades. Four kids could crowd around the cabinet to play as the four Turtles.
There is SO MUCH TMNT merch coming out still to this day. TMNT is still wildly popular... but will never recapture the FEVER of its early 90s peak. If you lived it, you know what I'm talking about. Toys, t-shirts, lunchboxes, bedding, backpacks, stickers, coins, books, tv, posters, magazines... the Turtles' visages were on everything and anything you could think of.
I'm lucky. I was a kid during, what I believe to be, THE best time to be a kid. The 80s and 90s were amazing times. At a time of a cartoon-driven pop culture explosion few things would have the lasting impact of the Teenage Mutant Ninja (or Hero) Turtles.
As my favourite Turtle Raphael would say: It was radical.
My 5-year-old has been obsessed with the TMNT for the last 18 months. He has watched everything available and has a collection of toys that would make anyone jealous. He told me a few days ago that when he is bigger, he wants to be a turtle for a career.
Wow dude. Just saw your x-men video and thought how much I could relate to you. But always was the biggsest turtles fan. And now this pops up. Funny how so many kids in different countries shared the same passion and BIG kudos to your dad filming all of this. Its a relic from the past and I wish I had footage like this. But it still is so wholesome to watch yours.
I am super grateful for my family and my mom who always tried to make me happy, even though there were times where we really did not have much. And I am super happy for you that you also had such a wonderful childhood and loving parents. Also learning that your grandpa was Mike Esposito blew my mind...what a legend.
When the pizza thrower was being unwrapped and I heard the TMNT NES theme kick in, I sat up at full alert in my chair. Forever PTSD on that game
Lol watching you guys take turns playing your own video game of knocking down the characters with the Pizza Truck had me laughing lol
Bro! This takes me back! The Ninja Turtle blimp was one of my favorite toys. I think it lasted a whole day before it’s first puncher.
