They made some cool toys so why not bring it up?

That marketing copy is just amazing.

First of all, acknowledging that the blimp is "incredibly wacky"

Then trying to sell the fact that it doesn't float, mount or have any powered features as "Just you and good clean fun!"

I like how they didn't even bother to match the cartoon and toy versions like at all.

I wanted the Technodrome so bad...

But this unlocked a memory of my very early 20s. We were having a party at my apartment and somebody got a big TMNT doll out. Like a foot long, don't remember which turtle. We tied it to a hook in the ceiling of the 2nd floor porch and strapped a bunch of fireworks to it including several rockets duct taped to the back of his shell. My roommate set it off while there were at least 15 people on that porch. Fucking hilarious, it spun around crazy fast exploding shit everywhere.

Kids- we are lucky nobody got hurt blah blah blah
