This Fan-made TMNT Donatello Figurine is Insanely Good

A concept artist going by the moniker Embertwist recently shared their latest creation on Reddit. It’s a sixth-scale figurine of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle’s gadget expert, Donatello, but with a couple of slick twists. First off are the immediately noticeable purple Air Jordan 1 sneakers, but Don is also rocking a backpack that’s partly made from an NES.

Embertwist designed the 3D model themselves, then 3D printed the model to make a master mold. The final figurine was then cast from resin and handpainted. Aside from the radical accessories, the coloring and textures are just top-notch. It’s amazing how much one person can do these days.

This is actually the second TMNT figurine that Embertwist designed and created. He made a Leonardo figurine last year to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the TMNT movie. Here’s an awesome video synopsis of Embertwists’s process, which they said was the same for both figurines:

 

If you’re a hardcore TMNT fan, this is the best bit: Embertwist is going to offer a small batch of the Donatello figurine for sale. Keep an eye on their Instagram account for updates and more pictures.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pizza Maker

Nearly everyone has something in common with Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: a passion for pizza. Why not express that thin-crust love with “the World’s Most Awesome Pizza Machine,” a simple non-stick appliance to cook frozen or fresh pizzas and quesadillas. It’s a handy addition to the man cave when the kitchen seems too far.

It easily bakes up to a 12″ frozen pizza or an 11″ hand-tossed pizza, and features a non-stick interior. Since it required no pre-heating, it’s gonna cook up your pizza faster than a regular oven.

If you’re craving a slice of pepperoni pizza tonight, you can grab one from Amazon for about $34.

Playmates TMNT x Ghostbusters Action Figures: Parapsychologists in a Half Shell

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures get a ton of alternate and crossover versions, but Playmates’ Halloween offering has to be an instant classic. It’s a mashup of New York weirdest: TMNT and Ghostbusters.

The mashup casts Raphael as Winston, Leonardo as Ray, Mike as Pete and of course Donatello as Egon. Not only do they have ghostbusting uniforms and accessories, they even have their respective characters’ hair. Each action figure also comes with a different ghost to bust.

Now we need a mashup of the Turtle Van and the Ecto-1. These figures should be available very soon at Target stores for $20 (USD) each. Toyark got their hands on the figures and took tons of beauty shots, so be sure to check out their gallery if you’re interested in the toys.

This Legend of Zelda sweater, featuring Link, is truly a holiday treat. You may not get the Triforce for Christmas, but this could be just as satisfying.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ugly Christmas Sweater


Turtles in Time is one of the best SNES games created and if there’s one thing I love other than that game, it’s pizza. If there’s one thing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles love, it’s also pizza.

Jurassic World Ugly Christmas Sweater


I never beat the original Jurassic Park video game, but it’s part of a classic franchise of successful movies that spawned many games, sequels, and all kinds of merchandise. The latest entry, Jurassic World broke all sorts of records upon its release. Prepare for the inevitable sequels by picking up one of these fantastic sweaters! Look how cute that Santa hat is on the T-Rex!

Star Wars Dark Side Helmets Ugly Christmas Sweater


This is actually the first of two Star Wars sweaters I’ve decided to include.

Skyrim Ugly Christmas Sweater


Are you the dragonborn? No matter, this sweater suits any Elder Scrolls or Bethesda fan. You’ll feel warm and cozy wearing this sweater while picking the pockets of townspeople and slaying dragons in the desolate, freezing land of Skyrim.

Fallout Ugly Christmas Sweater


With its simple, immediately recognizable design and logo, this Fallout ‘Happy Holidays’ is the sweater to wear if you’re the type who doesn’t like explaining what video game or movie your clothes came from. Fallout also has the advantage of being one of the most popular series right now, with Fallout 4 released just last year.

Star Wars Yoda Christmas Sweater


The second Star Wars sweater that I couldn’t resist including. “Silent Night, Jedi Night,” get it? “Silent night, holy night? Jedi knight?” Yeah, you probably got it. Anyway, look at that Santa Yoda. I’d love the jolly green jedi to bring me gifts. “A merry christmas, I wish you.”

Pac-Man Christmas Sweater


Colorful, festive, and very 80s esque, this retro blast from the past is great for the nostalgic video game fan. Or the hipster who refuses to play anything besides Atari and NES.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Put Their Apartment on Airbnb: Viral Power

Don’t tell Shredder, but it turns out New York’s sewers are just one of the Turtles’ hangouts. They also have a nice three-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, and they let folks stay there while they were out fighting crime.

To promote the upcoming movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows, Paramount turned a Manhattan apartment into the Turtles’ lair, complete with a TV area filled with boomboxes, a basketball ring, a weapon locker and lots of graffiti. Then they put it up for overnight stays on Airbnb, throwing in a couple of free pizzas. It’s already fully booked, but at least we have these pictures.

Their Airbnb account says that for every guest that stayed, Paramount will donate money in their name to PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. Check out the Airbnb page for more shots and messages from Leonardo. So what’s next, Casey Jones on Tinder?

The Official TMNT Pizza Oven: Chewabunga!

Give your kid a small electric appliance and let them bake some pizza. What could go wrong? Remember the Easy Bake Oven from your childhood? This is the TMNT version. Cowabunga!

tmnt_pizza_oven_1zoom in

This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Oven comes with a cheese pizza mix, spatula, baking pan, and a measuring tool that will let you make a totally rad cheese pizza in just 15 minutes. It’s going to be a small (and probably not very good) pizza, but still. This will get your kid on his or her way to living in sewers and ordering their own pizza while taking orders from a rat.

You can also pick up a refill pack with six more mixes so you and your friends can all enjoy.

Check out these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pajamas being sold on Amazon for $40. You can choose from Leonardo (HERE) or Michelangelo (HERE). No word on why they didn’t include Donatello and Raphael but my guess is, someone’s got a grudge. Probably Krang.
