High School TMNT Figures Coming to the Mutant Mayhem Line

We were sharpening our ninja skills at our local Walmart store and an associate was nice enough to let us play around with their PDA. We made a cool discovery and it appears that High School versions of Raphael, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo, are coming to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Mutant Mayhem line! If you recall, the end of the TMNT Mutant Mayhem movie ends with the Turtles enrolling in High School. In a post credit scene, we see the Turtles settling into school. We have not yet pinned down High School Leonardo and Michaelangelo but stay tuned for more updates and when we can pull up the Walmart listings, we will share the barcodes and link you to the product pages.

Here is the plot of the TMNT Mutant Mayhem movie from Turtlepedia:

Techno Cosmic Research Institute (TCRI) executive Cynthia Utrom sends a squadron to hunt down rogue scientist Baxter Stockman, who has created a mutagen to form his own mutant animal family, starting with a housefly. Stockman is interrupted by Utrom’s strike force and killed in the resulting explosion, while the mutagen falls into the sewers of New York City.

Fifteen years later, turtle brothers Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello have been raised by their adoptive rat father, Splinter, after the five of them were transformed into humanoid mutants by “ooze” — Stockman’s mutagen. Being chased away by humans led Splinter to distrust humanity and train his sons in the art of ninjutsu, instructing them to only leave their sewer home to steal supplies. Now teenagers, the Ninja Turtles long to live as normal high schoolers, much to Splinter’s dismay.

During a supply run, the Turtles defeat a gang of criminals to recover a stolen moped belonging to a teenager named April O’Neil, revealing themselves and their origins. April, an aspiring journalist struggling to move past an embarrassing viral incident of vomiting on camera, has been investigating a series of robberies of TCRI technology by a criminal known as “Superfly”. The Turtles plan to stop Superfly and, through April’s reporting, win public acceptance as heroes.

They intercept a piece of stolen technology and meet Superfly under the Brooklyn Bridge, discovering that he is not only a mutant himself, but the leader of a mutant gang, a warthog named Bebop, a rhinoceros named Rocksteady, a bat named Wingnut, an Australian-accented alligator named Leatherhead, a frog named Genghis Frog, a lizard named Mondo Gecko, a stingray named Ray Fillet and a cockroach named Scumbug. Ecstatic to meet fellow mutants, the Turtles bond with Superfly and the others, and he explains that they were created by Stockman, evading TCRI and living on an abandoned ship in Staten Island. Like the Turtles, they were attacked by society, and an embittered Superfly has stolen TCRI technology to weaponize ooze to mutate all wildlife on the planet into the new dominant species and enslave humanity.

The Turtles try to intervene, but the gang escapes with the equipment while a tracker allows TCRI to capture the Turtles. At TCRI headquarters, the Turtles regained consciousness and were met by Cynthia who tells them that they needed their blood to make a stable mutagen and make super soldiers, and take over the world. The machine starts, and the Turtles are painfully “milked” for their mutagen. They begin to share their final moments, regretting before they will get milked to death. But then, April arrives with Splinter to rescue them. Splinter scolded his sons for lying and disobeying him, and angrily tells that they had to fix the mess and stay in the sewers to where they belong. At the gang’s hideout, Splinter and the Turtles convince most of them that their plan for domination will make them no better than the worst of humanity, and together they turn on Superfly. Superfly asked the mutants why they are turning against him, and angrily urged them to listen to him. Splinter realized what he had done and started to help the mutants push Superfly to the machine, destroying it. However, the ooze combines Superfly with other nearby wildlife into a gigantic whale-like kaiju and attacks the city. Splinter reconciles his sons that he messed up and doesn’t want to be like Superfly. He told his sons that they can stop the monsterous mutant and make the people love them. April calls them and said that she has an anti-ooze on her scooter and told them to meet her here. As they made to shore, the Turtles and other mutants attempt to stop him but are assumed by the public to be fellow monsters. It’s then that Leonardo finds his voice as a leader, utilizing Michelangelo’s gift for improvisation, Donatello’s intelligence, and Raphael’s rage to drop the anti-ooze canister into Superfly’s blowhole.

April overcomes her anxiety and commandeers a news broadcast to explain the mutants’ good intentions and the citizens of New York come to their aid. Superfly grabbed the Turtles and started to crush their shells as Splinter watched in horror. The citizens began to gather around and recognize that he is with the Turtles. Overcoming his hate of humans, Splinter told the people that he needs to get the anti-ooze to his sons, and they decide to help him. Their actions distract Superfly long enough for the Turtles to free themselves and manage to throw the canister inside Superfly, turning him back into a collection of normal animals. Reconciling with Splinter, the Turtles, April, and the mutants are celebrated by the city. The other mutants soon move into the sewers with them, Splinter and Scumbug fall in love, and the Turtles enroll at April’s high school, where they are all embraced as heroes.

In a mid-credits scene, the Turtles are enjoying high school life: Donatello has made friends in the computer club, Raphael is on the wrestling team, Michelangelo takes up improv comedy, and Leonardo — who has developed a crush on April — joins her investigation into TCRI to stop Utrom and her agents from creating super soldiers, who escaped during the rescue. While the five of them enjoy themselves at prom, they are under surveillance from Utrom (holding the now unmutated Superfly captive), who plans to recapture the Turtles and decides to call an old acquaintance.
