Playmates Toys – New Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Toy Line & Sewer Squad Pizza Points Loyalty Program

The turtles have returned with an all-new look in the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, and Playmates Toys have announced the Rise of the TMNT toy line to be available at major retailers starting October 1, 2018! Cowabunga!

Playmates Toys have developed an all-new product line based on Nickelodeon’s Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series. I have already reviewed the premiere episode, which debuted on the network on September 17, 2018. I am a huge fan of the redesigns. It helps to give each turtle a distinct look, and Playmates Toys have conveyed the individuality in the Rise of the TMNT toy line, too.

Along with the Rise of the TMNT toy line, Playmates Toys is also introducing a Sewer Squad Pizza Points Loyalty program. This allows fans to collect and redeem pizza points for exclusive toys and more. Take note that a “unique, secret code is included in every Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy package from Playmates Toys.”

Fans can go ahead and visit Playmates Toys to register and join the Sewer Squad in order to qualify for exclusive toys and other rewards.

“We carefully developed the new toy line with unique sculpting and incredible detail, in order to closely resemble the dynamic look of the Turtles in the new series,” said Karl Aaronian, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Playmates Toys. “With Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles being an enduring, iconic franchise, we are also delighted to bring back the Pizza Points Loyalty Program, which first debuted in the late 1980s, in an exciting new way for today’s generation of kids to enjoy.”

“The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a property that has reinvention in its DNA and Playmates has been there every step of the way,” said Jon Roman, Senior Vice President, Toys, Nickelodeon. “Show creators for the new Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ant Ward and Andy Suriano, worked hand in hand with Playmates to ensure that the bold, colorful design of the show translated into product at retail and we can’t wait to introduce them to a new generation of fans.”

As I said, the individuality of each turtle and the characters from the new animated series does show in the Rise of the TMNT toy line. So, kudos to Playmates Toys for doing an awesome job!

The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy line from Playmates Toys features the following:

Action Figures
