ISSUE 21: CUPID CIRCA 2007

Love is in the air and the green machines are taking a big whiff. Each year the Ninja Turtles spout off sentiments of love in the form of Valentine’s Day cards. What they lack in romanticism, they make up for in humor. The Sewer Den has covered a variety of Valentines, showcasing the Turtles and their eye rolling humor.

Cupid’s arrow has struck once again. With each new Ninja Turtles series or film, the world is treated with another line of TMNT-themed Valentine’s Day cards. We’re taking another trip down memory lane. But, not too far back. Rewind to 2007 - an iconic year. After a 14-year hiatus from the silver screen, the Turtles returned to cinemas with their bandannas a-blazing. In 2007, our heroes made their comeback in TMNT. The fun flick opened number 1 at the box office the weekend of March 23^rd. And do you know what Ninja Turtles success means? More Ninja Turtles merchandise.

Merchandising. Forget that the Ninja Turtles had a TV show and a few movies, they made their sweet bucks selling a haul of silly goods. A typical day for a kid in the 90's was surrounded by the madness at every turn. You woke up in your green pajamas, followed by a bowl of nutritious Ninja Turtles Cereal for breakfast, then off to school with your TMNT-themed lunchbox, eventually returning home to eat dinner off your Raphael plate, and then finally you would find yourself drifting into sleep between your comfy Ninja Turtles bedsheets. It was fun for sure, but to the parents it must have been exhausting.
