Why Remake, When You Can Re-Release!

tmnt

To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Playmates are re-releasing the original 1988 action figures – seemingly unchanged – in a successful attempt to blow nostalgia into the underwear of 80′s kids everywhere.

At first I thought they were just re-releasing the four turtles, but it would appear that they’re re-releasing the entire line – vehicles (and possibly playsets?) included.

Each figure also comes packaged with a DVD containing an episode of the original 80′s cartoon.

If it weren’t for my strict “Kubrick Only” policy when it comes to toy collecting, id be all over these in a heartbeat.

    if the online feedback from this is any indicator of it’s success – other toy lines might follow. we can only hope.
