The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" enjoyed quite a heyday throughout the early '90s. Along with the success of the live-action comic book film that debuted in 1990, the franchise was bolstered even more by the animated series that began a few years earlier in 1987. In fact, it was the animated series that inspired the beloved Playmates action figure line that churned out endless versions of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, as well as the extensive array of mutant villains for them to face off against. Some of those weird toys even inspired a few sneaky Easter eggs in the new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem."
Speaking of which, since there's a new "Tmnt" movie in theaters, of course there are new toys on shelves inspired by the stylish movie that refreshes the franchise in exciting and visually stunning ways. Paramount Pictures and Playmates sent /Film the basic action figures...

This article contains spoilers for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem."
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" undeniably does one thing better than any of the other "Tmnt" movies that came before it: The film accurately and delightfully portrays Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo as teenagers. Along with having teen cast members Nicolas Cantu, Micah Abbey, Brady Noon, and Shamon Brown Jr. record their dialogue together to capture their young energy bouncing off each other, "Mutant Mayhem" really hones in on the challenges of growing up, especially when being a mutant keeps you from being part of society.
Thankfully, by the end of "Mutant Mayhem," the turtles aren't seen as monsters, and they're actually accepted by heroes as the humans of New York City, which allows them to experience something else that no movie has done before: Letting them go to high school. The turtles take off their masks, put down their weapons,...

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem" is digging deeper into the roster of mutant characters than any other big screen adaptation before it. Sure, the more recent live-action adaptations produced by Michael Bay gave us photorealistic CGI versions of Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang, but "Mutant Mayhem" digs into the stranger corners of the long history of "Tmnt" comics and animation to deliver a roster of wacky and weird characters for the Turtles to square off against.
Leading the mutant mayhem is a character known only as Superfly, a mutated, bipedal fly with an axe to grind against humanity. Voiced by Ice Cube, the character brings some Blaxploitation flair to the movie. However, it sounds like Superfly was originally going to be a much different character that took a more direct cue from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" history. And it all starts with Baxter Stockman.
