The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have battled across comics, cartoons, movies, and video games for nearly four decades. Now, in partnership with Paramount, VeVe is bringing these heroes in a half shell into the world of premium digital collecting.
On November 8, 2025, fans and collectors will have the chance to own a true origin piece: the very first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectibles in augmented-reality-ready digital format.
But that’s just the beginning. One week later, at DesignerCon Las Vegas, VeVe will celebrate its 5th anniversary with the full launch of TMNT collectibles on the platform. This milestone release marks a bold new chapter. Setting the stage for a multiyear journey of collecting, storytelling, and interactive fandom unlike anything VeVe has ever attempted before.
Every legend has an origin. For the Turtles, it all starts in the sewers of New York City. To honor that story, VeVe is introducing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Origin Diorama as the centerpiece of this collaboration. Crafted with extraordinary detail and designed for augmented reality, the diorama is fully animated. When the cycle begins, the original TMNT theme music plays, instantly sparking nostalgia for collectors.
David Yu, CEO & Co-Founder, VeVe
"When you think of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show, that unforgettable theme song is the first thing that comes to mind. We knew from the very beginning that the Origin Diorama had to capture that feeling to life. That’s why, when the animation begins, the classic TMNT theme plays right alongside it, it’s pure nostalgia that instantly transports you back to where it all started. And the best part? No batteries required."
This origin piece is the opening chapter in an ambitious plan that will unfold across vehicles, villains, accessories, and show-stopping dioramas. For collectors, it is the foundation of a new series that will carry long-term interest as the first appearances of key TMNT characters and IPs, in premium digital form.
The celebration continues with the first of the four brothers. Michelangelo, the fun-loving and party-obsessed Turtle, will be released in three colorways. Collectors will want to keep their eyes out for the rarest Chaser Variant, with only 87 editions being created, in total. The Chaser Variant was designed as a direct homage to the gritty Eastman and Laird comic that launched the franchise in 1987.
Devin Hart, Head of Production, VeVe
"The chaser was our chance to add a personal touch to the legacy of TMNT by going back to the 1987 roots. Plenty of physical companies have honored Eastman and Laird over the years, and we wanted to do the same. For us, that means remembering these collectibles will be scaled, spun, placed, and displayed in AR and the VeVeVerse. Every polygon has to be precise. When you look at the chaser and see the hand-drawn lines that create the shadows, each marking is a love letter from our artists to both TMNT as a franchise and our collectors."
By blending the playfulness of Michelangelo with reverence for his earliest appearance, VeVe is giving fans a piece of both history and innovation. This, blended with the scarcity of the Chaser Variant, will likely make Michelangelo one of the cornerstone Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectibles for the line.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectible release on VeVe is the beginning of a multi-year collecting adventure. Each release will unlock new ways for collectors to engage with TMNT, whether through premium 3D sculpts, interactive vehicles, or villains that bring balance to every hero’s story.
Unlike traditional companies focused solely on physical products, VeVe’s digital-first model enables experiences no other platform can deliver. Collectors can be rewarded for holding certain items, use past drops as keys to unlock future surprises, and see their collections evolve in ways unique to digital ownership.
David Yu, CEO & Co-Founder, VeVe
"The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are true pop culture icons, and bringing them to VeVe is a dream come true for our team and collectors. This partnership not only celebrates their incredible legacy but also pushes the boundaries of what digital collecting can be. We’re delivering premium experiences at an unprecedented pace, and TMNT is the perfect brand to showcase the next evolution of VeVe."
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line represents VeVe’s most ambitious collection to date. Built on five years of experience, it has been shaped into a collector's journey. For first-time fans, this is the perfect entry into digital collecting. For seasoned collectors, it is a chance to secure first appearances and cornerstone pieces that will stand the test of time.
VeVe has spent the past year expanding its infrastructure and preparing for a new wave of fandom. In-app upgrades now include private chat features, group chat functions, and image sharing that allow collectors to connect, trade knowledge, and celebrate their fandoms together. These community tools build on VeVe’s global marketplace, where collectors can buy and sell directly with others around the world.
At the same time, VeVe has positioned itself as a premium destination for value-driven collectors. Many of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles releases will represent a first appearance on the platform. This marks many of them as historic digital collectibles that will stand the test of time. For fans seeking iconic pieces that carry both cultural and collector value, these drops represent milestone opportunities.
Dan Crothers, COO & Co-Founder, VeVe
"With augmented reality and the VeVeVerse, collectors are no longer limited to simply buying and selling. They can play, display, and experience their collectibles in ways that feel alive and connected. We’ve been building the foundation of our platform with this kind of growth in mind. Now, as we welcome TMNT fans into the VeVe community, we’re excited to see how they bring these heroes to life in showrooms and beyond."
The ability to place collectibles in augmented reality, customize digital showrooms, and interact in the VeVeVerse ensures that every TMNT piece becomes a living part of a global collection.
VeVe’s production team has spent months designing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, working closely with Paramount to bring decades of fandom into a digital-first environment. For many of the artists and designers involved, it’s been a childhood dream come true.
Devin Hart, Head of Production, VeVe
"Working on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is incredibly special for our artists. These are characters we have loved for decades, and now we get to design them for a fully interactive 3D world. Every collectible is built with both premium artistry and playability in mind. It is about blending the polish of VeVe with a design approach that feels almost game-like, so collectors can immerse themselves in TMNT like never before."
By merging premium craftsmanship with interactive features, VeVe is shaping a collection that pays tribute to the past while opening doors to the future of digital collecting.
TMNT has been at the heart of 80s fandom since their inception. From action figures in the 80s and 90s, to high-end statues, comics, and video games, fans have celebrated these characters in every medium. VeVe is now carrying that tradition into the digital age with its line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectibles.
For collectors, this means:
The Paramount partnership marks one of VeVe’s boldest collaborations to date. It is a celebration of the past, present, and future of collecting.
As VeVe turns five years old, the platform continues to redefine what it means to be a collector in the digital era. The TMNT launch is more than a milestone. It is the beginning of a new adventure.
Collectors can look forward to Michelangelo, the TMNT Origin Diorama, and a year of unforgettable drops that bring Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, their allies, and their villains into premium digital form.
The future of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectibles is arriving, and it all starts in the sewers.
