Quoted By:
When I was a little kid, my dad wouldn't let me have "girl toys," which stunk, because I wanted all of the Muppet Babies McDonalds toys (couldn't have Miss Piggy), and I had every original TMNT figure, but wasn't allowed to have April O'Neil, not that she was easy to find anyways. My mom spent practically two months showing up to Kay Bee Toys as they unboxed TMNT figures from the crate and finally convinced my dad to just let me have it, explaining that I wanted to have sex with April O'Neil, not BE April O'Neil (which was true).
My parents put it on top of my bunk bed while I slept and told me in the morning to climb up and see what they'd found... April O'Neil. I was ecstatic.
Three days later, the girl down the street broke off her leg. It was fucking devastating.
Anyways, that was now probably 25 years ago or whatever, but my parents went out of their way to buy the original, on card, for a hefty amount of money two years ago. It actually made me tear up.
