pinshape

Beginning in 1988, Playmates Toys has been the primary manufacturer of TMNT action figures. Their initial lineup, called simply Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the most part (some sub-lines had additional branding), ran until 1997, when they began producing action figures based on the new live-action television series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. In some markets, however, reissues of the original figures continued to be released until 1999.
