Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles I Can Hug!

Plush TMNT

Rabid TMNT fan­girlism + child­hood mem­o­ries + tax refund =buy­ing all four of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles Cud­dle Pil­lows (or “Pil­low Bud­dies”, depend­ing on which store you buy them from). There was really never any ques­tion that I would end up own­ing these, but I need to thank Tommy over at  Top Hat Sasquatch […]

My Bedroom, Circa 1989 (Mildly TMNT-Related)

I recently dug up this photo from one of my family’s albums. Why on earth they had a pic­ture of my bed­room on a ran­dom day in 1989, I don’t know, but I’m glad it exists if only so I can re-live the magic of get­ting splin­ters from my unfin­ished pine fur­ni­ture and star­ing loathsomely […]

Reunited with one of my best buds. It’s a Kodak moment…

michaelangelo-plush-90s

This past week­end I went spelunk­ing for price­less child­hood arti­facts over at my par­ents’ house and didn’t come away dis­ap­pointed. Between their attic, base­ment and crawl­space I was able to find a num­ber of items I prob­a­bly haven’t laid eyes on in over 15 years, hav­ing long ago chalked them up as rot­ting away in […]

For Trade/Sale: My Catwoman Comics

for-trade-catwoman-comics

This week The League is trad­ing our unwanted stuff ! I’ve got plenty of that around here, but I tried to pick some­thing that I know you guys in The League might actu­ally want–that is, unless any of you are inter­ested in Hello Kitty stuff or Insane Clown Posse CDs… Any­one? Bueller? Didn’t think so. So, […]

6 Inches of Vintage Turtle Power!

tmnt-buttons

What does it say about me that on my recent fan­tasy shop­ping spree to  Hakes Amer­i­cana & Col­lectibles I only came away with $1639.00 worth of stuff? I had carte blanche with my pre­tend money to pur­chase all the coolest, most ridicu­lously expen­sive pop cul­ture arti­facts I wanted, but wound up buy­ing tschotskes and a couple […]

Fantasy Shopping Spree at Hake’s Americana & Collectibles

hakes-shopping

I want money, lots and lots of money, so I can buy all this cool stuff at Hake’s! This week’s assign­ment from The League was to pre­tend money is no object and go on a fan­tasy shop­ping spree at Hake’s Amer­i­cana & Col­lectibles . Part of Baltimore’s famous Geppi’s Enter­tain­ment Museum, Hake’s is a huge […]

Huge Thank You to Shawn Robare for this Epic Care Package!

thanks-shawn

When my buddy Shawn from Branded in the 80s told me he was send­ing a cou­ple of TMNT comic books my way, that’s all I expected–a cou­ple of TMNT comic books. I didn’t expect a giant box full of extra good­ies and TMNT stuff  in addi­tion to  the comics, but this is Shawn, and he’s […]

Speaking of TMNT watches…

Closeup of TMNT Watch

Not to keep turn­ing this blog into “Hey! Look at my Ninja Tur­tles stuff!” but I thought some of you might want a closer look at the sweet Nick Tur­tles watch I scored last week­end at Toys R’ Us. I only went there to buy a TMNT iPhone case , I swear it, but this […]

What’s this? A TMNT Valentine Watch!?

TMNT Valentine's Day Watch

It was love at first sight, you guys. There I was at my local Wal­mart doing some under­wear shop­ping (TMI, I know) when I spot­ted this thing. If you’re famil­iar with how Wal­marts are laid out, you’re forced to walk past the dis­plays of sea­sonal crap to get to the clothes, and my eyes locked on […]

Ninja Turtle-izing my iPhone 5

turtle-phone

So, I just got a shiny new iPhone 5 (I know, I never thought it would come to this , either) and it was look­ing rather naked, so my imme­di­ate goal was to trans­form it into the most Ninja Turtle-iest phone pos­si­ble. Until they come out with real  T-phones  ( and not this plas­tic piece […]

DJ Soul Presents the Fila x TMNT Mixtape

fila-tmnt-mixtape

Here’s what I’m jam­ming on today at work: Inspired by the sneaker col­lab­o­ra­tion between Fila and Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles, [DJ Soul] teamed up with Nick­elodeon and recorded a mix to remind peo­ple of the influ­ence both brands have had in music and fash­ion since the 80’s. If you want to pur­chase the kicks, they are […]

I’m possibly the only person who remembered it’s Ya Kid K’s birthday today.

ya-kid-k-90s

Happy Birth­day, Ya Kid K ! Almost 25 years later, you are still pumpin’ up my jam . I have to admit, I thought you were a dude when I first saw you per­form live on TV some­time back in 1989, before I knew what a les­bian was. Sorry about that. In fact, your gen­der was […]

Toddler Turtle Raph is now the cutest toy in my collection.

toddler-raph

(Well, you know. That col­lec­tion I keep insist­ing I don’t have.) When my good Twit­ter buddy Eric Stettmeier a.k.a.  @BubbaShelby , who is an avid toy col­lec­tor (AND awe­some artist , by the way), offered me his extra Tod­dler Tur­tle  fig­ure for the incred­i­bly gen­er­ous price of free, you know I was all over it. Eric […]

So effin’ cute: NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles BATSU Figures

Neca TMNT Batsu Figures

Work­ing title for this post: “I’m Not a Toy Col­lec­tor, I Swear!” I didn’t know about these  Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles  BATSU fig­ures from NECA until I saw them over at Top Hat Sasquatch  (sup, Tommy?) a few months ago, while ran­domly brows­ing old TMNT-related posts. And then last month Ama­zon had Donatello on sale for […]

The cool surprises in the mail just keep coming. (I heart UnderScoopFire!)

Hashy

When I came home this evening after nine gru­el­ing hours at the office (ten if we’re count­ing my com­mute) and saw a pack­age in my mail­box from Under­Scoop­Fire , one of my most favoritest places in all of inter­net­landia, my crappy mood melted away and it was almost as if I hadn’t just spent all day in […]

Oh hello, huge box of TMNT & Nintendo Stuff!

Care Package from Cool & Collected

Have I told you lately how much I love The League of Extra­or­di­nary Blog­gers ? Just look at this big box full of cool stuff that our great leader Brian of Cool and Col­lected sent me: Get­ting this truly awe­some care pack­age in the mail put a huge smile on my face and really helped take […]

My childhood arrived in a TurtleVan.

TMNT Complete Series

Well, tech­ni­cally it arrived in a box from Amazon.com. One of the shit­ti­est things about break­ing up right before Christ­mas was hav­ing to return all the gifts I bought for my boyfriend (actu­ally, the shit­ti­est part was hav­ing to unwrap them first, then return them–do you know how depress­ing that was?), but hey, at least […]

You guys are the best. (More Christmas stuff & thanks!)

McDonald's Christmas Ornaments

Over the hol­i­day break a num­ber of dif­fer­ent pack­ages arrived unex­pect­edly on my doorstep–Christmas gifts from some of my favorite peo­ple! This has been one of the hard­est hol­i­days I’ve ever had to get through, but com­ing home to these lit­tle sur­prises really helped cheer me up. For real, you guys–it meant a lot. Thanks Shawn! […]

Belated thanks to my Dork Horde Secret Santa!

Fishface

As you know, I’m recov­er­ing from the flu (among other things) which means I haven’t got­ten around to post­ing about any of my cool Christ­mas gifts, or thank­ing every­one I need to thank.  If you sent me a pack­age, rest assured it’s on my to-do list to post about it here, and also know that […]

Nickelodeon TMNT Toys Now at McDonald’s!

nickturtles-tmnt-happy-meal-toys

I swung through the drive-thru of a McDonald’s on my way to work this morn­ing (for a break­fast burrito–it was deli­cious, thank you for ask­ing) and was ecsta­tic to see they finally had the Nick­elodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Tur­tles Happy Meal toys . (Thanks again to Cody of Crooked Ninja Tur­tle Gang for the head’s […]
