In unexpected merchandising news: NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony has partnered with Nickelodeon to develop a line of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” consumer products. Announced Tuesday at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, Anthony will act as creative director of “Turtles by Melo” and oversee a variety of Turtle-inspired products ranging from video games, publishing, home furnishings, lifestyle items and more.

Scheduled to debut in spring 2016, just ahead of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2,” “Turtles by Melo” is the culmination of a burgeoning relationship between the NBA player and Nickelodeon.

“I am so excited about the opportunity to work with the Nickelodeon team on this new ‘Turtles’ ‎venture,” Anthony said in a press release. “The Turtles were such a huge part of my childhood, so to now be partnering with Nickelodeon on ‘Turtles by Melo’ is honestly something I never could have imagined.”

Nickelodeon called it an opportunity for the franchise to branch out into new territory. “We are so happy for Carmelo Anthony to join the Nickelodeon family for ‘Turtles by Melo.’ A product line created and curated by a superstar—and super-fan—like Carmelo is testament to the Turtles’ ever-growing appeal, and it’s a huge part of the drumbeat beginning for new seasons of the TV show and the theatrical sequel from Paramount Pictures next summer,” Pam Kaufman, Chief Marketing Officer and President Consumer Products for Nickelodeon, said in a statement.

The NBA All-Star will also make a cameo in Paramount’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2″ film. Re-launched in 2012, Nickelodeon’s current “Turtles” series is currently in its third season and has helped keep the long-running franchise alive. “Turtles” action figures were the number one selling toys in the U.S. for 2014, icing out “Frozen” for the top spot in sales.

I'm more impressed by the toy sales figures than the rest of it. And really- what else are they going to put the TMNT on that they haven't already? Bath towels? Check. Toothpaste and sunscreen? Check. Popsicles? Kid's chairs and bedding? Check. Check. Shoes? Check. Belts, socks, tents? Check, check, check. You get the idea.

Yeah, TMNT is pretty much in every product out there, I just wonder what Carmelo Anthony's involvement is about, Maybe a new line of basketball shoes that are TMNT themed? Who knows.

TMNT themed Victoria's Secret collection would have been absolutely fantastic.

*TigerClaw* · 06-10-2015, 05:36 PM

If the deal has him come up with ideas for TMNT video games, Then he should tell them, to make the TMNT games, Like the ones from Konami back in the days.

*turtlefanforever* · 06-10-2015, 06:26 PM

This, I'm hoping this means that Activision's contract with TMNT video games has expired and this "Turtles by Melo" thing will end up publishing TMNT video games which hopfully means more money going towards making TMNT games/hiring better game developers which then means better quality TMNT games

psychturtle · 06-10-2015, 10:08 PM

get ready for cool shoes, athletic wear, and gear. Plus, I'm betting he gets his own set of toys too.

It'll probably be games based on the Nick Show. and I wouldn't be surprise if some of them are mobile games.

Why get one of the most selfish NBA players to rep tmnt? TMNT is all about team work!!! LOL I dont get it.

*ToTheNines* · 06-11-2015, 07:20 PM

This is weird.

Gunstar_Red · 06-11-2015, 11:27 PM

The videogames part caught my attention. Flashbacks of Mega Man Soccer comes to mind. TMNT Basketball, anyone? ^^;

Shorts, huh? I literally live in basketball shorts, wear 'em all year. Would looove to have a TMNT pair.

*IndigoErth* · 03-01-2016, 06:05 PM

Saw an article that said it's only for kids... *sad face* I guess with other merchandise it wouldn't matter, but in terms of clothing, sad. As much as I welcome and am glad to see new young fans come along, it sucks when some idea centered on them is just "for kids" and cuts out the original now grown generation(s) that love them still. (Why not do some in sizes for all ages?) Keeping that stigma strong...

*grumbles about other heroes not being put through this*
