Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mini Mutants Toys TV Television Commercial from 1994.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (often shortened to TMNT or Ninja Turtles) are four fictional teenaged anthropomorphic turtles named after Renaissance Italian artists. They were trained by their anthropomorphic rat sensei in the art of ninjutsu. From their home in sewers of New York City, they battle petty criminals, evil overlords, mutated creatures, and alien invaders while attempting to remain hidden from society. They were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird.
The characters originated in comic books published by Mirage Studios and expanded into cartoon series, films, video games, toys, and other merchandise.[2] During the peak of the franchise's popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it gained worldwide success and fame.
In 1994, Playmates, in an attempt capitalize on toy lines like Mighty Max and Polly Pocket, shrunk the Turtles down to an equally small size in a sub-line simply named “Mini Mutants”.These were “Turtle Transport Combos” which contained one figure and two vehicles. “Bodacious Battlesets” which were four playsets which could connect via bridges/platforms; these included one figure.
“Turtle Top Playsets” were a characters head which would open into a double decker playset; these included three figures. Slimmer “Carry Along Playsets” took the shape of Raph’s sai, Leo’s katana, and the Turtle Communicator; these came with three figures. And finally, “Turtle in a Turtle” consisted of four playsets that were figures of the four turtles about 6 inches taller than the normal figure; their heads, stomachs, and shells opened into the playsets. Each had themed removable armor as well; two figures were included with each. The Mini Mutants line was recreated for the new 2000's Playmates toyline.
Each figure stands roughly 2 1/4″ tall.
