Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume



The teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles originated in an American comic released by Mirage Studios in 1984 in Northampton, Massachusetts. The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Kevin Eastman during a casual evening of blue skying with his mate Peter Laird. Using money from a tax refund along with a loan from Eastman's uncle, the young artists self-published a single issue comic planned to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s : Marvel Comics' Daredevil and New Mutants, Dave Sim's Cerebus and Frank Miller's Ronin. From their home in the typhoon sewers of NY, they battle petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien attackers, all while remaining isolated from society at large. In the peak of its popularity in the latter 1980s through early 1990s, the franchise gained substantial worldwide success and fame. Much of the TMNT's fame is owed to a licensing agent, Mark Freedman.
The 4 main characters in TMNT are :

Leonardo ( Blue bandanna and ninjato- ) - The courageous leader and devoted student of martial arts. He's the eldest of the 4. Originally indicated by 4 giant horns protruding from his head, Leonardo is named after the Italian polymath, scientist, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor : Leonardo Da Vinci.

Donatello ( Purple bandanna and bo- ) - The brilliant scientist, inventor, engineer, and technical genius. He is maybe the least violent Turtle, preferring to use his intellect to solve conflicts. He wears a purple mask and wields the bo-staff. Donatello.
Raphael ( Red bandanna and sai ) - The team's bad boy, he's got an aggressive nature and barely hesitates to throw the first punch. He's a very strong fighter. His personality can be alternately cruel and sarcastic, and often delivers deadpan humor.

Michelangelo ( Orange bandanna and nunchaku ) - The easy-going and free-spirited Mikey provides a lot of the comic relief. While he loves to relax, this Turtle also has a bold and creative side. He wears an orange mask and wields nunchaku. His name was originally misspelled'Michaelangelo' by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman - at the time they were employing a typewriter and did not own a compendium.

When little known Playmates Toys Inc. was approached about producing a TMNT action figure line, they were cautious of the risk and requested that a TV deal be acquired first. In 1998, the Turtles headlined in a real-life TV series called Ninja Turtles : the next Mutation that follows the occurrences of the flicks. A fifth turtle was introduced, a female named'Venus de Milo' who was talented in the paranormal arts of the shinobi.

Who do you most resonate with - the courageous Leonardo, the genuis Donatello, the bad boy Rapheal or the easy-going Michelangelo. Whichever one you select, there is the perfect Halloween costume prepared for you at Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Costume Store.
