ids can re-create the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ mutations over and over again with Playmates Toys’ Pet to Ninja Turtles action figures, designed for kids ages 4 and up. The figures convert (or mutate) from little pet turtles into fully articulated Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael figures. Each 5.5-inch figure comes ready to fight crime with its character’s signature weapon. With Mix and Match Mutations, kids can mutate TMNT characters to give them different heads, arms, legs, and torsos. Each action figure is 4.5 inches tall and allows kids to create hundreds of unique mutations. Kids can choose from the four turtles, as well as Splinter, Metalhead, Shredder, Slash, Tiger Claw, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Casey Jones. Designed for kids ages 3 and up, T-Machines allow kids to race with their favorite characters from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show on Nickelodeon. Each die-cast vehicle is designed to capture its character’s personality and includes an action-posed, non-removable figure in the driver seat. T-Machines Single Pack Vehicles will continuously roll out throughout the year, beginning with Raph in Shellraiser, Fishface in Shell Crusher, Shredder in Shreddermobile, and more. In addition, T-Machines 2-Pack Vehicle Sets will feature decorated Ninja-Charged vehicles complete with translucent wheels.
