Most I remember from it is an episode about cufflinks that I had recorded back in the day - watched the crap outta that one. In any case, now that you mention it I really do gotta slap my forehead 'cause NOW I remember!<br /><br />Thanks!Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-21399551464923193102013-08-30T00:41:38.397-04:002013-08-30T00:41:38.397-04:00How do you not know that the "walkie-talkie&q...How do you not know that the "walkie-talkie" thing, is the communicator that Shredder used in like 90% of the old cartoon? It was one of the best accessories Playmates ever made. Shredder/Rocksteady/Bebop were always using a device like that to talk to Krang in the Technodrome.<br /><br />Of course, who knows why it came with Super Shredder, but I was glad to get it.<br /><br />Fun review of an awesome toy.Newton Gimmickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03123592172997157224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-27090590173956311632013-06-06T12:24:09.260-04:002013-06-06T12:24:09.260-04:00I was going through the old junk my dad brought ov...I was going through the old junk my dad brought over from his house (interesting fact: I'm pretty sure I still own everything I've ever owned) and I've found bunches of either torn peices of paper or cue cards with all my Mega Man abilities written on them from the countless Mega Man games I made up with my toys. Abilities like "Explosion Beam" or "Acid Smoke." Geeze I have no idea what half that crap was supposed to do back then. Pretty sure I set up junk that were supposed to be destroyed by certain abilities as well.<br /><br />Biggest thing I've ever done in terms of "creating" a video game from toys was this massive sort of RPG I made with a friend. We took up the whole basement at my house back then by dividing up the G.I. Joes into characters (towns folk too) and made this huge store with all the G.I. Joe weapons. We made up some batshit crazy monetary system and ways to get money and....oh man it just failed at all angles. Pretty sure we spent SO much time making it all up that we never played any of it. Left it all set up for the longest time 'cause we thought we would get back to it...ya know, 'cause we were kids. So much ambition! Too bad I couldn't hold on to that insanity.Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-78484494765428937092013-06-06T12:14:49.440-04:002013-06-06T12:14:49.440-04:00Yup.

Sometimes we even drew up fake players' guides and stuff. TMNT and Mega Man were frequent subjects of this type of play.Draculahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587852177919783864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-25121472342871956512013-06-05T17:14:56.823-04:002013-06-05T17:14:56.823-04:00I'm really hoping the new Classics TMNT line g...I'm really hoping the new Classics TMNT line gets to Shredder - or, is allowed to. I know it did well when it reached stores, but I don't know if it is still blasting out of stock like it was. The next ones are Bebop and Rocksteady, but I'm honestly not that big on those two. I want me some SHREDDER! <br /><br />And thank you!

The v...YEAH, that's the Super Shredder I want! The video games are always some of the most potent TMNT memories I have, honestly. When I played with my TMNT figures back in the day I always created my own game, of sorts - having them jump out of a "building" (the top bunk) and fighting down the "street" (hallway) and so on and so forth. The Super Shredder from Turtles in Time is probably the reason why I wanted this figure so bad back then.<br /><br />Anyway yeah: It's so strange how this one is just as stubby as the original Shredder...but he's not hunched over like the original. So like I said above: I have to assume the mutation just filled in his hunched-over body rather than letting him stand up straight!Alexxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467443844522666834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607162899803883062.post-68843166352248990872013-06-05T16:49:20.764-04:002013-06-05T16:49:20.764-04:00The Classics Playmates Super Shredder is still to ...The Classics Playmates Super Shredder is still to this day one of my all time favorite toys.

The Super Shredder I always think of is the one from the end of "Turtles in Time" that blasts you with insta-KO lightning from his fucking fingers. No amount of wood was going to defeat that guy.<br /><br />Also the funniest thing about the first Shredder toy is when you think about how tall he would be if he stood up straight.
