The enduring success of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[Onket]

My 4 year old son loves them.

As does my 4 year old daughter. I always thought they were shit but I think I was probably a bit old for them when they first came out.

I loved them the first time round - my mum made me and my brother costumes

I was 11 when they were massive the first time, which is probably technically too old, but I still loved them.

We've got our daughter a Turtles duvet cover for her birthday next week.

And some Turtles bath foam.

I think you can get pretty much anything.

The first time round was in 1984 when the comics were a satire on numerous genres at once, played relatively straight as ninja stuff with plenty of blood.

I started a TMNT gang when I was 11, but was ousted in a coup by the kid whose house we met in (he wanted to be Leonardo and told his mum I'd swore, so she kicked me out )

Painful memories (not least the fact I started a TMNT gang /nerd)

It's finally going to be on in 5 mins and she's been asking since half 6!
