For me at least, this boils down to age. I was much younger when He-Man came out, they were my first big boy toys/action figures. I watched the cartoon, even She-Ra. Me and my best friend both collected and played each other. By the time TMNT came out, I was growing out of toys and moving into comic books, video games, and music. I loved the Turtles original comics and cartoons. But I had stopped playing with toys and so had no Turtles. My little brother did, though.

As far as the polls, it seems that they are paired off against similar lines in terms of type of toy and popularity. It would be pointless for Go-Bots to go against Transformers, but going against another line in terms of popularity gives them both an equal chance. Thus TF vs. Star Wars.
