As the target demographic in the 90s, I was happy to beg my parents for them and watch the TV shows. I saw it as a win-win.

I didn't have a ton of toys as a kid but I loved Ninja Turtles. When I got the sewer lair playset I was pumped. What I really wanted was the Technodrome though. I think that's what it was called. Wonder where all my TMNT dolls ended up?

You obviously never saw Mystery Men.

That could be anybody.
