Our most recent batch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys were of the Half-Shell variety. We received three Half-Shell Heroes toys to play with and review. These were some toys that I was very excited to add to our collection and Andrew was excited for something new to play with. The toys that we received were a 2-pack of new villains, Bebop and Rocksteady. We also received a bath toy, the Dive Boat with Diver Donnie and one toy that we already had which was the Raphael figure on a minibike. I made a video of the unboxing of these toys which you can see below.
Christmas 1984 was one of my best ever. I was ten years old and Transformers had just come out. My grandmother dragged my grandfather into every mall and Bradlees up and down the eastern seaboard to buy me and my sisters some great toys. I was a very lucky kid and I loved playing with those toys. I stayed up all Christmas Eve putting on stickers and transforming every one of my new robots over and over til I could do them all in my sleep. But even though those were some of my most favorite toys ever there are still some things that we have today that I wish were around when I was a carefree 10 year old who had much more time to play with them.
