Unless you’ve been living in a sewer (groan, I know), you have probably heard that Nickelodeon is launching a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle animated series this Fall. In conjunction with the show, Playmates is launching an all-new line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys. They’ve sent us pics of their full product line of figures and vehicles, including the totally impressive Turtle Lair playset. We should see figures on shelves at all major retailers (Toys R Us, Target, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart) as well as select specialty retailers, beginning mid-August. And several mass and specialty on-line retailers will begin taking pre-orders as early as next Tuesday, July 10th.
We’ll start with the Classic line, as that is near and dear to our hearts. All text and images to follow are from Playmates except as noted.
Classic Collection Action Figures
The Classic Collection Action Figures reflect the look of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 80’s TV show. Each Turtle stands 6 inches tall, features more than 30 points of articulation and is authentically detailed to appeal to the true action figure collector. Each Turtle will come with its core Ninja weapons and a personalized sewer lid cover name base. The Classic Collection Action Figures collection includes Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo. (Ages 4+, $14.99 each, August 2012)
