I haven’t yet been to the Playmates booth to take in the latest Turtles, but this panel served a dual purpose – one, of course, was to highlight upcoming product. The other was to do a bit of a retrospective of the last 30 odd years, with members of the Playmates team that had worked on the lines for most of that time.

If you’re a fan of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, you’ll like what Playmates has planned for San Diego Comic-Con this year. First, folks from the Playmates TMNT team will be hosting a panel at SDCC to cover the plans for the toy line. They’ll have folks on hand that have worked on the line from the very beginning, through three incarnations of animated turtles.
They’ll also have an exclusive vac metal Shredder available for collectors. Cowabunga, dudes!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Action Figure Showcase
Playmates Toys, the master toy licensee for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, is hosting a panel during Comic-Con. We’ve included additional details for you below, and we’d love to see you there!
- When: Thursday, July 18th 2PM-3PM
- Where: Comic-Con International: San Diego, Room 25ABC

Exclusive Shredder Action Figure
Playmates Toys and Nickelodeon will also be debuting a special Comic-Con edition Shredder action figure, which will be on sale in Nickelodeon’s booth – # 4113. Standing at a height of 5.75 inches tall, the 2013 Comic Con Edition Shredder is ready for battle. Protected by his vacuum metallized razor-sharp armor and helmet, Shredder stands on his customized sewer lid base looking for revenge. Packed in his one of a kind, four color closed box, this figure is highly collectible with only limited quantities available.
Playmates has revealed new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures for their fall line-up. The Cockroach Terminator and Rat King are new villains, and the Turtles get done up in Stealth Tech. Kid-friendly Turtle variants are to be expected, but it’s still cool that it looks like they still have unique sculpts that are express the individuality of their character designs for the show.
The new TMNT line-up is expected to hit shelves in July.
I’ve got to hand it to Playmates – they’ve really taken the license for Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and made a toyline that caters to kids and collectors alike. In its second year, the TMNT line is still kicking.

2012 Was a pretty amazing year for toys. It was hard to narrow it down to one favorite figure for the year. A few contenders were the super-rad Castle Grayskullman from Master of the Universe Classics, and the Hasbro version of MP-10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime. But in the end, pure child-like excitement and fun won the day with my number one choice.
A lot of new properties popped up like the new Nickelodeon TMNT line. This line really surprised everyone, myself included. The four main turtles were perfectly articulated, masterfully sculpted, and insanely low priced. I never would have imagined in 2012 we could get a great figure like this for under $8. That is why my choice is the new Playmates Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Raphael.
