The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are traveling to Eternia to team-up with the Masters of the Universe for an all-new “Turtles of Grayskull” toyline.
Mattel and Paramount announced on Tuesday that they are teaming up for a “Turtles of Grayskull” toyline. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the guardians of Eternia will be teaming up and will be sharing armor and weapons for this new battle.

The figures are slated for release in Jan. 2024.
