As a baby of the early 90s, I’ve very fond recollections of taking part in with TMNT toys as a child. Even simply taking a look at this playset is inflicting uncontrollable waves of nostalgia. I solely ever had a number of motion figures (particularly Donatello), so it is the design of the Turtles themselves that’s actually bringing me again. Trendy interpretations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are nice I believe, however nothing can actually high a mean-mugging Raphael or Leonardo from the ’80s. At the very least for me.
We broke the information of this playset going up for preorder on the IGN Offers instagram and it is clear that Amazon has struck a really particular nostalgic vein with this set. Commenters are chiming in with their remembered love of this set or deep disappointment for not with the ability to get one themselves once they had been younger. Now that it is being re-released, adults now have the possibility to relive a childhood second themselves or along with their youngsters. And since adults turning into one of many largest markets within the toy trade, I definitely would not be stunned if an increasing number of basic toys get introduced again. LEGO has additionally performed one thing comparable with the current Recreation Boy set that’s being bought as an 18+ construct.
That is to not say this playset would not nonetheless be superior for youths. I’ve a one-year-old son who’s simply now beginning to present curiosity in a few of my outdated toys and I can not assist however need to give him among the enjoyable experiences I skilled throughout my early life. He is nonetheless a bit too younger for me to introduce him to the 1987 TMNT cartoon collection I grew up on, however I’ll sometime. If he finally ends up being a fan of the identical model of the heroes in a half shell I do know and love, it is good to know there are nonetheless toy choices out there for him on the market.
