Teenage Mutant Nostalgic Turtles!

Nostalgia is something that everyone who has a found memory of anything can relate to. It gives you feelings of yesteryear and reminds you of the good ol’ times. Well, the animation world has given this writer a reason to feel nostalgic today. As it turns out, cable network Nickelodeon is revving up to give the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a new life in today’s generation. Just from watching the trailer posted on the link, I can already see how much the turtles I knew as kid differ from what today’s youngsters I am sure are going to grow up with and love.

The biggest and best memories these turtles bring, don't come from the television shows or the number of live action movies that were made last century. Instead, every time I think of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the first memory that pops into mind is the abundance of action figures this franchise had. Playmates, the maker of these great action figures, made an action figure for almost every character that ever appeared on the TV show and the films and then some. The beauty of this product line was that it did not just stop at character figures, but play sets as well as vehicles and turtle blimps even.

For the new incarnation of these heroes in a half shell, Playmates will once again be the company to bring the youth of today their turtle action figures. They even plan to bring about a rendition of the action figures that I, and others like myself grew up with, by having some of the figures look like the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Even though the new Turtles look a little different form their 90’s counterparts (Shown in picture), the feeling that they come with is nothing new. New audiences will definitely fall in love with the new reboot of the Turtles, and I am sure come Christmas time, many youngsters will put these Turtles on their Christmas lists just as some parents today did so when they were kids. All in all, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are set to jump into action on the 29^th of September, hopefully they still love pizza as much as they used to. As I hope all the Turtle fans out there enjoy the new adventure!
