The Half-Shell Heroes Get Their Own TV Special

When I was at Toy Fair this past year I toured the Playmates booth and got to see a ton of things coming for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. One of the things was a ton of new toys for the Half-Shell Heroes line. These are the toys that are mean for pre-schoolers. They are smaller, cute versions of the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. I thought that this would make a great series that my kids would enjoy and I am excited that this will actually be a TV special. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dinosaurs. A fun combination. Check out the Press Release below.
