About TMNT (1990 film)

Steve Barron's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) surprised everyone by being a genuinely dark, gritty adaptation of the comic book that was far closer to Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's original violent, black-and-white indie comic than the sanitized cartoon that had made the characters famous. Jim Henson's Creature Shop created the four turtle suits, which were so sophisticated that each required multiple performers—one inside the suit and others operating the facial animatronics via remote control—representing the most advanced animatronic costumes ever built at that time. The film's depiction of New York City as a crime-ridden urban landscape, with the Foot Clan recruiting troubled teenagers, gave the story a surprisingly realistic edge. Made for $13.5 million, the film earned $202 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing independent film at the time and proving that comic book properties could succeed as live-action features.

It looks awesome and customer service is impeccable. There was an unfortunate situation where the XL I ordered wasn't available, I was notified immediately via email and given options (refund, different shirt, same shirt different size etc.) I decided to get a different size of the same shirt for my son. It will be big but I know he wont care because the picture is awesome. The woman with whom I dealt was fantastic and I received the shirt within a couple days (or less) of the original notification and deciding on a bigger sized replacement. Truly a great company with quality products. Highly recommend
