(they had a WHOLE shell thank you very much)
Sometimes you just have to let it take you back. i have LONG since been a believer in the T-u-r-t-l-e power. :] from a very young age i watched the movies and played with the toys, and i miss the simplicity of those childhood things. which brings me to my point.
Ever notice how toys don't just do nothing anymore?
I remember about 14 years ago I had huge ninja turtle action figures. They did nothing, I doubt the existence of accessories...if they did have them, they were long lost come day 3.
14 years ago i had cabbage patch dolls that just LAID there. nothing. emptiness in their eyes and souls. but we brought life to it!
I had toy cars you had to PUSH to make go.
I had barbies (albeit i mostly just ripped off their heads in fascination of the ball on the inside, and for the challenge of trying to put it back on...always harder than it looked.) and they did NOTHING.
Now cabbage patch kids don't just sit there, try finding an elmo doll that doesn't laugh, and action figures action on their own, cars move with remotes, and barbies...well now she has a billion siblings and friends and whatnot and its just all gone to crap.
Give the kids back their imagination.
I want my big ninja turtles back. :(
