If you're a child of the eighties and nineties, there's no doubt that you loved the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Spawned from a distinctly dark comic by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the franchise exploded thanks to a wildly popular Saturday morning cartoon, followed by a smash hit series of movies for New Line/Golden Harvest. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo – these heroes in a half shell were every kid's favorite toy growing up. Join us as we look at the merchandising bonanza that this franchise kicked off, from action figure to rock concerts (remember the "Coming Out of Our Shells" Tour?), video games and more on JoBlo Collector's Corner!
