Playmates Toys

Some toys just scream buy me when you see them on the shelves.  The toy that jumped out at me before it was even in stores was Playmates Toy’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RC Shellraiser.  It fits toys inside, it shoots sewer lids and it drives.  Though when I got it, I wasn’t going to open till I could do it on camera which meant this one sat around for a little bit.  I finally got the chance to break it out of package.  Here is my review of the RC Shellraiser!

In 1983 Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they released these characters to the public in 1984 as a Comic Book.  The Turtles were a huge success through comic book fans, though for those not into the comic scene it was not heard of.  Things could’ve remained this way if Mark Freedman did not get into the picture and go to Playmates Toys for the action figure line.  Playmates Toys loved this story so much that they funded the first five episodes of the original cartoon series.  Making the Toys one of the major backbones behind the Turtles which helped many of us fans learn their story.  I for one am Thankful as they helped
