WWE and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are teaming up again, bringing an exciting new twist to action figures that will captivate kids and collectors alike. Toy News International recently unveiled images from Mattel’s first wave of WWE x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover figures, creatively blending the worlds of professional wrestling and animated heroes.

The partnership between WWE and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has existed for a while. Back in 2016, Playmate Toys launched a similar series, which was well-received by fans.

As the release date approaches, the anticipation builds among fans. The thoughtfully selected pairings of wrestlers with Ninja Turtle characters are likely to spark discussions and enthusiasm, as each figure reflects the distinct personas of WWE’s most popular Superstars meshed with the adventurous spirit of the turtles.
