Playmates Toys announced today that Toys“R”Us will be the exclusive place to purchase their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection. Available now in Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and online at Toysrus.com, the Classic Collection features action figures, vehicles and more manufactured from the original molds by Playmates Toys, which reflect the look of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 1980’s television show.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Collection from Playmates Toys, available only at Toys“R”Us stores nationwide and online at Toysrus.com, includes the following:

Action Figures

Inspired by the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show from 1988, the newly designed and developed Classic Collection 6-inch Action Figures feature more than 30 points of articulation and are authentically detailed to appeal to the true action figure collector. These newly tooled figures come fully equipped with their core Ninja weapons and a personalized sewer lid cover name base. The collection includes the four main turtles; Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, Bebop and Rocksteady will be released later this month. Additionally, the Original Movie Turtles will be released in 2014, inspired by the authentic Turtle look from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie. The Classic Collection 6-inch Action Figures are available exclusively at Toys“R”Us, as well as at specialty retailers.

Originally released in 1988, the Classic Collection 4-inch Action Figures are back! Made from Playmates Toys’ original molds, these figures are fully articulated. Each figure comes with their core Ninja weapons and an extra weapons rack. The collection includes the four main turtles; Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello, along with Splinter and Shredder. The Foot Soldier and the Kraang will also be coming soon.


Vehicles

First released in 1988 and featured in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles television show from the 1980’s, the Party Wagon is the Turtles’ original group vehicle. Equipped with a radar dish and other techy gear, kids can open the top, place all the Turtles inside and they’re ready to roll! While Leonardo drives into battle, Michelangelo can sit shot gun in the side chair which swings out, taking down the evil Foot Clan during attack.

The Mech Wreckers, originally released in 2004, are real motorized walking battle suit figures that each come with the original Leonardo and Raphael action figures based on the look from the 1988 TV show. Kids can open the front cage and Raphael and Leonardo take their places in the **** pit, ready for battle. With a hit of the switch, the battery powered Raphael rolls and Leonardo walks into battle. Each Mech Wrecker features shoulder mounted spring loaded projectiles and mechanically activated weapons. Leonardo features his ninja chopping katana swords and Raphael features his triple headed spinning sai’s.
