original_post:_8/13/2004____________________________ I still own a lot of my original action figures I had as a kid. I think, in some ways, that's really important to hang on to some of those things. They not only inspire nostalgia, but invoke sudden synaptic reactions like "oh yeah, somebody came up with these characters, these robots, these… ninja turtles." It's kind of inspiring. I don't play with them like I used to, but I don't have to. I still have a great imagination.
