CJ Products previously created illuminating Dream Lites of the popular heroes in a half shell. The new TMNT licensing agreement will extend the line to include Turtley Awesome 18" foldable plush of the Heroes In A Half Shell - Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello!
Considered one of the most popular kids' television programs of the 1980s, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" first debuted as a successful comic book series and then became a hit animated TV show, a live-action television series and later spawned four theatrical releases. Since its launch in 2012, Nickelodeon's all-new CG-animated "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has re-introduced the characters of this popular franchise.
"The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" fan base continues to grow with the recent live-action feature film and Nickelodeon's hit animated TV series. Parents and children alike are able to have an emotional connection and bond with these characters," said Jennifer Telfer, CEO of Pillow Pets. "We are excited to foster this relationship and turn these iconic half-shell heroes into cuddly plush."
Additionally, CJ Products will also create a PAWsome 18-inch foldable plush Pillow Pets of Chase, the heroic German Shepherd and Marshall, the brave Dalmatian, from Nickelodeon's popular CG-animated preschool series "Paw Patrol"!
"Paw Patrol" stars a pack of seven heroic rescue pups – Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, Skye and Everest - who are led by a tech-savvy boy named Ryder. Together they work hard to show the people of Adventure Bay that "no job is too big, no pup is too small!"
CJ Products' "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Paw Patrol" Pillow Pets will be available at retailers nationwide and at www.pillowpets.com from Summer 2015.
