It all began as a comic book in 1984, featuring four turtles named after the Renaissance artists Donatello, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo who fought petty criminals from their home in the storm sewers of New York City. Today they are a global phenomenon – the crusaders battle evil overlords, mutated animals and alien invaders in this and other worlds. Hugely popular with kids of all ages, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT or Ninja Turtles) has spawned an extensive range of officially licensed merchandise that encompasses toys, bedding and home décor. Notable items include play tents, fleece throws, kid’s dinnerware, awesome peel and stick wall decals, insulated tumblers, diaper bags, cape-style hooded towels, infant hats, baby booties, bib and booties gift sets, swim goggles, bath towel and wash mitt sets, sheet sets, kid’s multivitamins, pillow and throw sets, seating and more.
