Ninja Turtles 3D Nightlight: Cowabunga Dude!

After you’ve eaten all your pizza and are laying there with a bellyache, this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles night light will keep you safe late at night, even if you live in the darkest part of the sewer.

Your child(or you) can rest easy at night and be protected from all of the night’s many terrors, like the boogeyman, ghosts, or even The Shredder. This night light gives off a nice radioactive like glow that creates great ambient lighting. It looks like the turtles are busting through your wall and are about to lay the smack down.

This cool night light is only $29.99(USD) from Target.

Krang Belt Buckle: Waist Clan

Villain in a buckle, alien power! Let the disembodied villain use you as his exo-suit. Freakshop proprietor Christopher Genovese made this awesome oversized belt buckle featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s sworn enemy. I’m not sure how large the buckle is exactly, but it’s probably as large as a child’s head.

Christopher made the buckle out of urethane resin. Then he painted it by hand and finished it with a polyurethane clear coat.

Christopher can also add a mount to Krang if you’d rather hang him on a wall, but unless you have a person hanging on your wall, what fun is that?

Activate the Technodrome and head to Freakshop to order the buckle. It costs $190 (USD) and is made to order, so give Christoper one to three weeks to make you one.

Custom Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES: Heroes on a Console

The last time we featured console modder Ryan Fitzpatrick aka Platinum Fungi we saw his personal tribute to Mega Man 2. His latest finished project on the other hand is up for grabs. It’s a radical Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES.

As with the Mega Man 2 NES, Ryan worked with fellow modder Custom NES Guy on this mod. The star of the project are the cutouts on top of the console, which Ryan painstakingly made by hand. But there are also lots of tiny details to appreciate here, from the great color scheme and paint job to the four bundled controllers, each with an overlay representing a different member of the Turtles.

As I said, Ryan is selling this particular console. It’s going to cost you more than a box of pizza though. As of this writing you have to bid at least $1,275 (USD) on eBay to get a chance at owning the console.

Hello Kitty Ninja Turtles: Heroes with a Hairball

These cool looking toys are aimed at the amazingly small cross-section of people who are fans of both Hello Kitty and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or maybe there are a lot of fans who like both franchises. What do I know? This combination does make a super neat looking group though, I have to admit.

These feline heroes in a half shell are pretty adorable. The six inch-tall figures even have bows that match the masks. They are limited to 1,000 pieces and are going for ¥6,980 (~$69 USD) each. Pretty expensive, but then again, it isn’t everyday that you see Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitties.

They are available through DCT as far as I can tell since I don’t speak Japanese. Get the whole set. Who knows? Maybe this will be a cartoon.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Crochet: Heroes in a Snail Shell

Teenage Mutant Ninja Snails are just like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They can be found in sewers, and I bet they love pizza too. Sadly, they can’t reach their weapons. And bad guys can always track them by their slime trail.

Grillain Villain Aprons: Kill the Cook

Etsy shop Haute Mess makes Grillain Villains, a line of handmade aprons that are based on the costumes of famous supervillains. Haute Mess gleefully proclaims, “If you gotta cook and clean why not look evil doing so?!” Because you want people to eat what you cook? Oh was that a rhetorical question? Okay then!

The Krang apron is my favorite of all the designs, although just about all of the women’s aprons look neat. I don’t recommend the Boba Fett men’s apron though, unless you want to be the evil Thong Man.

Summon your minions and head to Haute Mess to order a Grillain Villain apron. They cost between $40 to $150 (USD) depending on the design.

TMNT Patrol Buggy: Ninja Turtles, Assemble!

One of the buried treasures at last week’s New York Toy Fair was this cool buggy I found hiding out in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles booth. Basically, it’s like a mega buggy that can seat all four Ninja Turtles, but can also break off into individual cars.

The Patrol Buggy line comes in individual rides for Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo, and then they can snap together to form the giant   four-turtle mega buggy shown above.

You can also connect two of the vehicles together and launch either Leo and his rocket grenade, or Raph and his road rash missile towards their foes.tmnt buggy 2

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles patrol buggies will sell for $19.99(USD) each when they arrive this August, and are compatible with standard TMNT action figures (each sold separately.)

TMNT Rafael Soup Mug: Not for Turtle Soup

I lived in New Orleans for a number of years, so I’m actually quite familiar with the taste of turtle soup. It’s actually not bad – mainly because all of the creole seasonings pretty much drown out the flavor of the turtles who gave their lives for the stuff. Frankly I much prefer alligator soup – since it tastes like chicken. From the look of Rafael’s expression on this TMNT soup mug, he’s none to pleased with the idea of turtle soup either.

Raphael would much rather have you fill his oversize 24oz. head-mug with some cream of mushroom, chicken noodle, or maybe even a giant cup of coffee. Actually, he’d really like you to eat some pizza in a cup in it.

Ninja Turtles fans can pre-order the mug over at Entertainment Earth for $9.99(USD), and it should ship sometime this March.

TMNT Flower Pots: Heroes in Your Herb Garden

While I usually associate the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with unhealthy food like pizza, it turns out the turtles can also be used to encourage healthy eating. Assuming, that is, that you plant some delicious edible plants and herbs in these TMNT flower pots and don’t use them to serve slices of cold pizza.

They’re handpainted by artist John Moriarty, and 50 bucks buys you the complete set of four pots, including Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michaelangelo. And if you don’t have a green thumb, you could always use these for storing pens, pencils, action figures, katanas or other whatnots.

You can find the full set over on Ginger Pots Etsy shop, where you can also fill your garden with pots adorned with Mario, Sonic, Optimus Prime and The Avengers among others.


TMNT Wedding Cake: The Caterer Served Pizza

One of my guilty pleasures growing up were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Though I’m not sure that I would have wanted Michaelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael crashing my wedding reception with their sword- and nunchuk-wielding antics.

tmnt wedding cake

I’m actually having a hard time believing this was a wedding cake, as there’s no bride or groom on top – unless it was four masked anthropomorphic turtles who got hitched that day. It’s more likely that it was a groom’s cake. Either way, it’s pretty special. My favorite part is the bottom that looks like a deep-dish pizza, complete with onions, pepperonis, olives and cheese – all made in sweet, instead of savory form.

And while TMNT purists will say their bandanas aren’t quite the right colors and they’d never serve a pan pizza, I still think it’s great. What are you eating?
