Turtles fans were given a sneak peek at the new product range at last weekend's MCM Comic Con 2015, while also being treated to an appearance from the pizza loving foursome - Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael, below!


"We're excited to partner with Forbidden Planet for the first time on a range that gives a nostalgic nod to the original series," said Marianne James, VP consumer products UK & Ireland and European retail sales and marketing, Viacom International Media Networks.

"As a family brand it's fantastic to have a new line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles products which appeals to adult fans, in addition to our licences that cater to our kids' audience."
