So last night just before I turned in for the night I
decided to read an old copy of Mad.
I loved Mad as a kid and read old back
issues almost every night before I turned in, sometimes with a flashlight well
after I was supposed to be asleep.
I wanted to read an older one from before advertisements and
color had corrupted my favorite publication.
I reached into my magazine box full of old Mads and grabbed
this issue.
Mad number 306 from 1991 with the Ninja Turtles on the cover.
Reading the Mad spoof of TMNT II Secret of the Ooze took me
right back to the days when the Turtles were the biggest thing and I was eating
an ooze filled Turtle Pie every day for lunch.
I thought about the Turtles pie stickers
and the Turtles Pie
secret message clickers.
and of course my Turtles figures
As I read, I was also reminded that I never acquired three
of the Turtles figures that I wanted from the movie.
- Super Shredder
- Rahzar
- Tokka
I had a decent Turtle collection but never got my hands on
these three.
In light of the comming Turtles re-boot and the
introduction of the awesome looking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classics
figures I think it’s time to fill these long standing gaps in my collection.
A quick scan of eBay shows that I should be able to get decent
looking complete figures pretty reasonably.
While I attempt to get my hands on these figures, I’ll also try
to get some of my miscellaneous Turtle stories and stuff posted. Cowabunga dudes!
