Awesome Tmnt

Filmmaker, animator and illustrator Malcolm Sutherland pays tribute to the radical reptiles we know as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with this no-frills, martial arts focused short.

Get in your Saturday morning jammies, grab a bowl of cereal and fire up this stop motion version of the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoon’s opening sequence. Music by The Boom Bang.

Playmates Toys is set to release a line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise based on the upcoming animated TV series from Nickelodeon. The Ninja Stealth Bike is radical. (Thanks, Kyle!)

The most radical beanie in the world (That’s a fact!). It has an eye mask sewn on, so you can spring into action whenever there’s a bad guy – or pizza – nearby. All four eye mask colors available.

A photoblog that shows the hero in on all of us. None of the photos have been modified save for the addition of the radical turtles. Cannot be unseen. Heroes on your nostrils! Nasal power!

Trailer for Casey Jones, a short film directed by Polaris Banks that creates a more in-depth, yet faithful origin story for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s vigilante buddy. Watch the full movie here.

Melissa Dunphy made this awesome Halloween costume for her husband – Krang’s robotic exo-suit, along with the ugly alien of course. Props to Melissa for making Krang move and speak.

Be an alien supervillain’s mechanical body with this sweet Krang hoodie. Fortunately the rest of the ugly exo-suit isn’t printed on to the sweatshirt. Watch out for turtles when you wear this.

Very NSFW: after running out of puns and pizzas, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles finally use their weapons; too bad there’ll be shell to pay from the legal system and network censors.

If you’ve ever wanted to be a hero in a half shell, here’s your chance: Hot Topic’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Shell Backpack not only includes a 16″x18″ bag but four masks.

Michelangelo goes cowabunga-kick-ass with this fantastic 12″ polystone comiquette; he’s based on the comics (hence the red bandana), but you can get the orange variant here.

The Foot Clan leader is apparently a fashion trendsetter, too: this TMNT Shredder Hoodie features arm and shoulder spikes and a zip-up half mask to scare your half-shell enemies.

PS3 and Xbox 360 owners don’t have a monopoly on turtle nostalgia: check out the features trailer above for TMNT: Smash Up, a Wii/PS2 2.5D fighter due out September 2009.

Get ready for a massive 80s/90s cartoon flashback: your favorite half-shelled, pizza-devouring heroes are hitting XBLA and PSN on 8/5/09 with TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled.

The humor in Donatello Gets Screwed is pretty crude (particularly from an ornery Splinter), but we couldn’t help laughing at (and pitying) the forgotten fourth Ninja Turtle’s plight.
