With the 25th Anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Playmates toys is re-releasing retro models of the original TMNT toys. Very little of an Ad-campaign and not much publicity, but they have stayed true in nearly all details, right down to the original packaging and figure accessories (although, Donatello is a bit lighter then the original). I happened to be grocery shopping in a Target, saw them on the shelf, and calmly walked over, picked up all 4, and dropped them in my cart. These were among my most FAVORITE toys growing up, and I think I might even have the originals somewhere at my parent's house. Good stuff. I think I will leave these unopened for my kids to play with. Or not.
And just to rattle your memory:

Oh my goodness!!!! I may not be as calm as you. I am so getting all four. TNMT were my all-time favorites!!! *sigh* I would leave work now, but I have to be here for some reason. Wow. I love TNMT!!
LOL who was calm?! I tried not to scream in the store, just dropped them in the buggy, checked out, and sat in the car taking pictures to send to all my friends. I must have used 20 or 30 texts just from the purchase.
Do I see 'Bonus DVD' on the packaging?!?!?!?
Yeah, each turtle comes with one of the first four episodes from the first season of the cartoon.
Very nice! I might have to get those...soon...perhaps today or right now.
I was there.. and u didn't just happen by! You intentionally went into Target to purchase these toys!
Eb, mind your business! I was shopping for groceries and toiletries!! (Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!)
