Being a kid was pretty cool, in my opinion. My day to day in middle school was primarily centered around making sure I made it home from school in time to catch that afternoon's episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They were, and still are, heroes in a half-shell. The TMNT cartoon toys of the period captured the feel of the cartoon perfectly, and right now at Target, you can capture that feeling for yourself with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon 4-pack of figures.
Quick heads-up: the links to Target should pop up right in this window, so you can add the 4-pack to your cart, check out, and stay right here for a dose of wistful nostalgia.
TMNT Cartoon 4-pack at Target
As noted above, the pack contains all four of the Turtles, in all their 1990s Playmate Toys glory. Each one has a special move you activate, to show off just how stoked they are on pizza. Leo's eyes bulge out, Donny's bandana knot spins comically, Raph's entire head twirls around and Mikey's tongue hangs out. I really think there's no better way to show just how much the Turtles love pizza than by defying the laws of physiology. It really drives home the point that these fellas right here, well… they LOVE pizza.
According to the description on Target, each turtle comes with their "signature weapon, an Animated Toon Television, Toon Turtle Pizza Disc, and Turtle Communicator." That's quite a value right there, although I am skeptical as to whether or not the TV is real. Seems like it would add to the costs. OK, obviously it's not real, it's probably lenticular or something, which makes it even more awesome in my opinion.
If you're looking for something else to scratch that retro-Turtles itch, check out our review of TMNT: The Cowabunga Collection, which, of course, I bought immediately.
The TMNT Cartoon 4-Pack is $49.99 and available from Target and only Target.
