Metal With a Half Shell: Loot Crate Re-Imagines Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Characters as Metal Bands for New T-Shirt Collection

Loot Crate launches a TMNT-themed apparel collection that combines your favorite Nineties cartoon heroes with iconic band motifs


Fans of Eighties and Nineties nostalgia take note: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back — this time with a guitar in hand — as part of a special collection of apparel that launches this month.

The Loot Crate TMNT Hesher Capsule Collection features four, retro-inspired T-shirts with images of Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, Shredder and Splinter, based on the look of the characters in the beloved '80s and '90s animated series, re-worked as iconic band motifs. The shirts pay tribute to metal bands like Motorhead, Judas Priest and Poison, with bold graphics and TMNT-themed puns (think “Shreadhead” for the Shredder-meets-Judas Priest Screaming for Vengeance-inspired shirt). There’s even an April O’Neil appearance.

You can check out all the TMNT Hesher Capsule Collection T-shirts below and buy them here on LootCrate.com. Each shirt will run you $30 a piece, but if you order them all, you’ll save yourself 20 percent. Bonus: To round out your look, Loot Crate will throw in a pair of neon green TMNT socks if you add all four shirts to your cart. But move fast because this limited apparel run could sell out before you can get the TMNT theme song out of your head.
