New TMNT Combat Gear Shell Backpack as featured on Wired.com

Over the past year, we’ve had the good fortune to bring you information about some pretty awesome new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise hitting the market. From Toys and DVDs to clothing items and costumes, there have been quite a few interesting items to talk about here on the site. We couldn’t be happier about the turtle’s rise to fame once again, as it has made the task of creating content all the more entertaining. That being said, we’ve never had the opportunity to write about something quite like this. We’ve actually got some breaking news for all you TMNT fans about a new backpack that is sure to raise some shell!

Oh sure, there have been items like this in the past, but none of them have ever been quite this deluxe. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Combat Gear Shell Backpack features not only the look and feel of a turtle shell on your back, but also includes some pretty important gear! Each pack comes with Raphael’s Sai and Michelangelo’s nunchucks, which is a pretty awesome little addition that makes the pack look more realistic. The weapons are held in place via a sash on the back of the shell, giving it the proper TMNT look and feel. As if the authenticity of this great new bag was ever in question, the “Turtles” logo is actually stitched into the back of the shell, with an official patch sewn to one arm strap.

Needless to say, this is a pretty deluxe item with a lot to offer for long time fans of these much beloved heroes in a half shell. Not only is it a legitimate backpack with pouches for all your school toting needs, but it looks so much like a Ninja Turtle shell that it’s sure to turn a few heads. Whether you’re looking for something practical and cool (but rude), or you just want to look the part at the party (dude), this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Combat Gear Shell Backpack is sure to please. So where and when can you get it? Well, this exclusive item won’t be shipping until late May, but you can put a pre-order in today at TVStoreOnline.com.
