What merchandise came out for the Japanese TMNT manga?

I was just curious what merchandise if any came out for the Japanese TMNT manga.(like that cool yellow cover one seen on the official site)

The only thing I know of was a couple years ago Hot Topic had stickers of all 3 of the covers. The turtles look so cool here compared to the old cartoon or Archie series, its a shame these are near impossible to get.

Well, there were action figures and some plushies (tho the UFO plushies i dunno if they're based on the anime, but they sure look anime-ish enough)

http://ufocatcher.net/ufoplush/ninja.../tmntmain.html <- anime plushie
Edit: the page is GONE!

the only thing i found while looking at that site's directory was this:

I think those 'super turtles' are so frikkin cool... it would be interesting to see the japanese version of the tmnt.

Does anyone else think the artwork for saint turtle and metal leo is oddly familiar to the artwork for the instruction booklet to tournament fighters??? I wonder if there was ever a tournament fighters manga or anime.....

True, i've seen the tournament fighters art at undermanhattan, it looks kinda familiar, i'm guessing the art was made by some japanese guy (since the game was most likely made in japan and all)
I had the tournament fighters raph wallpaper as a wallpaper some months ago actually
