Toy Fair 2016: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Transform and Roll Out

We had some oddball cartoons on TV when we were kids. One particular cartoon featured a kid who could turn into a car when he got hot and bothered. ...It was a weird time. The fact that humanoid lifeforms transforming into inanimate object is border-line disturbing has never stopped toy makers from using this gimmick for popular characters from comic books, cartoons and movies. Some are instantly forgotten...and some become legend (i'm looking at you Punisher who's crotch is a gun). Just last year, Playmates released a wave of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who transformed into their signature weapons! This year, they went a bit further...

Introducing... Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutations Turtle to Vehicle Action Figures!!

We've got Leonardo who becomes a three-wheeled motorcycle...



Raphael who becomes a sort of three-wheeled motorcycle sports car hybrid. 
 
Of course..his transformation has to be a little more...umm...showy.....


And Michelangelo who says LET'S GO BIG, as usual, and transforms into a racing car falling somewhere between Mad Max and Deathrace 2000. Good job, boys.



These are only the first bits we've seen of new TMNT product, so there's plenty more to come!
