Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles strike a pose for TMNT Comiquettes
With 25 years to their history, there’ve been a number of really cool products based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from the awesome arcade games to the sweet TMNT-style Snuggie. One particular item that caught our eye (and not with a Nun Chuck) is Sideshow Collectibles’ collection of Turtle Comiquettes – a hybrid word for comic book and maquette (which basically is fancy for “statue”). The level of craftsmanship in each of the figures is amazing, completely detailing your four favorite Mirage Studios’ greenies to the last bit; Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo never looked so good! As they prep for their official move from 4Kids (or “Toonzai”) to Nickelodeon, grabbing one of these would be a pretty sweet way to hype up!

Michael Bay producing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot
TMNT has been through some changes lately. First, they were back to the sewer. Then, Turtles Forever saw leagues of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles unite. Then there was the sale of the whole TMNT universe from 4Kids to Nickelodeon. Now, we’ve been hearing bits and pieces about a reboot to the live-action movies from the 90s, and today’s gossip is a big one: Michael Bay, of Transformers fame, will be heading up production. Peter Laird, famed TMNT co-creator, has been working with folks behind the scenes on getting the right fit for the upcoming films. Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures have now ensured Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes is on the fast track for the spot, hoping to take Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo back to the big screen with live action style.

Team Green may be relocating from 4Kids to Nickelodeon in the next year or so, but they have no plans on abandoning the company that has been their action figure home for the past 20 years. How do we know? Because we know everything!!! Well, and also because we’ve gotten word that Playmates Toys has just signed a new global master toy deal for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, pledging that they will continue to making toys based on the TMNT brand, now owned by Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products.
