Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Pizza Hut And Dominos) In MTV's article on the history of pizza product placement in TMNT movies, they bring up that Pizza Hut had a tie-in with the VHS of the movie where a coupon would come with it and an advert would play before the movie starts.

Although the theme was officially launched in January 2013, the sets have been available at Toys R Us, LEGOLAND, the LEGO Store and Shop At Home since at least December 2012 in the USA. Most of the minifigures have molds that were designed exclusively for them.

The TMNT follows the journey of four young brothers (Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello) who have been mutated (via the definitely-very-scientific mutagen ooze) from baby turtles to turtle-human hybrids and live in the sewers of New York learning ninjutsu from their rat sensei/adopted dad, Splinter.

Since 1988, countless numbers of figures have been made, making TMNT one of the most successful toylines in history. Many of the earlier figures are highly desired by collectors now, so they fetch extremely high prices on the secondary market.

Each gofu gives the Turtles new powers, tethers them to the spirit world, and allows them to sense one another. The five elements are fire, water, wood, metal, and earth, and each plays off the other, generating one another, and having both opposing and complementary effects.

The Turtles Were Teenagers, So They Were Relatable These days, most superheroes or heroes, in general, are grown-ups, which gives the younger audience something to look up to, but it was special that the heroes kids idolized were supposed to be a few years older than them.

1988 In signing with Murakami-Wolf-Swenson Productions, Eastman and Laird saw the production of the first TMNT cartoon in December 1987. Playmates held up their end of the deal and produced the first series of TMNT action figures in the summer of 1988.

It wasn't until 1987 that the TMNT creators licensed out their characters to Playmate Toys, Inc. So, the very first batch of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise came out in 1988. Being the inaugural bunch makes TMNT toys from 1988 particularly collectible.

Venus That honor goes to Venus, TV's first (and still only) female Ninja Turtle. Unlike her male counterparts - Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo, all of whom were named after noteworthy Renaissance artists - Venus got her name from the famously arm-less Greek statue depicting the goddess Aphrodite.

Summary

• Raphael is the physically strongest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, capable of incredible feats of strength and overpowering opponents.
• Leonardo may not be the strongest, but his discipline and skill with swords make him a formidable fighter and leader.

Some of these beautiful molded pieces of plastic are worth a literal fortune. Whether it be due to limited release or rare misshapen/defective versions, there are some action figures out there that will put you in massive debt fast.
