Playmates has revealed new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures for their fall line-up. The Cockroach Terminator and Rat King are new villains, and the Turtles get done up in Stealth Tech. Kid-friendly Turtle variants are to be expected, but it’s still cool that it looks like they still have unique sculpts that are express the individuality of their character designs for the show.
The new TMNT line-up is expected to hit shelves in July.
The Rat King has been a character in most of the incarnations of TMNT – he gets a new look for the Nickelodeon cartoon. The Cockroach Terminator is a new character that appeared on the show last year.
I’m not sure if the Stealth Bike has made its appearance in the toy line yet, but it’s been in several recent episode, including the one that introduced the Cockroach Terminator. Stealth Turtles seem a natural extension, even though as Ninjas they probably don’t need the technology for it.
Here’s a bonus stop-motion video using the original TMNT line-up of figures. Enjoy!

The Stealth bike was released in the first wave of toys. It comes with a version of Raph that has a yellow helmet and )painted) gloves.
