>>8089212So I was like 5-6 at the time, super huge into TMNT as this was the height of their popularity back early 90s. It's christmas day and three of my older brothers and I are waiting for the curtain to literally drop so we can burst into the living room with all the xmas gifts waiting for us under the tree. At this point I was already well aware Santa wasn't the one bringing gifts so I had no problems sneeking a peak past the curtain to see if I could see anything good.
What I saw, was four piles of boxes and toys, and one of which was ALL Ninja Turtle stuff, so I was hyped. We wait a bit longer for my parents to give the go ahead, and once they do the stampede begins. All of us hit our respective piles hard and start tearing into things. My pile, as mentioned earlier, was nothing but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle labeled boxes.
First thing I grabbed was giant figure...that turned out to be a literal shampoo bottle. Then I moved on....and found bars of mini soap. Then a toothbrush set. Then a laundry basketball hoop (I didn't even like basketball). Then pajamas and underwear. And it just kept going, where I would open a Ninja Turtle themed item...and it turned out to be anything BUT a toy, all dollar store merchandise with Ninja Turtle stickers thrown on it.
Meanwhile one of my brothers go a new stereo system, another got a guitar, another got the FREAKING ROLLING THUNDER and other awesome Joes (which was my number 2 toyline at the time). But all I had so far was TMNT branded paper plates.
