In 1986, Dark Horse Miniatures produced a set of 15 mm lead figurines. In January 1987, Eastman and Laird visited the offices of <a href="/w/index.php?title=Playmates_Toys_Inc&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Playmates Toys Inc (not yet started)">Playmates Toys Inc</a>, a small California toy company that wanted to expand into the <a href="/wiki/Action_figure" title="Action figure">action figure</a> market. Development was undertaken by a creative team of companies and individuals: Jerry Sachs, ad man of Sachs-Finley Agency, brought together the animators at Murakami-Wolf-Swenson headed by Fred Wolf. Wolf and his team combined concepts and ideas with the Playmates marketing crew, headed by Karl Aaronian, VP of sales Richard Sallis and President of Playmates Bill Carlson. </p><p>Aaronian brought on several designers, and concepteur and writer <a href="/w/index.php?title=John_C._Schulte&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="John C. Schulte (not yet started)">John C. Schulte</a> and worked out the simple backstory that would live on toy packaging for the entire run of the product and show. Sachs called the high-concept pitch "Green Against Brick". The sense of humor was honed with the collaboration of the MWS animation firm's writers. Playmates and their team essentially served as associate producers and contributing writers to the miniseries that was first launched to sell-in the toy action figures. Phrases like "Heroes in a Half Shell" and many of the comical catch phrases and battle slogans ("Turtle Power!") came from the writing and conceptualization of this creative team. As the series developed, veteran writer <a href="/wiki/Jack_Mendelsohn" title="Jack Mendelsohn">Jack Mendelsohn</a> came on board as both a story editor and scriptwriter. David Wise, Michael Charles Hill, and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Reaves&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Michael Reaves (not yet started)">Michael Reaves</a> wrote most of the scripts. </p><p>The miniseries was repeated three times before it found an audience.

At the height of the frenzy, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Turtles' likenesses could be found on a wide range of children's merchandise, from <a href="/w/index.php?title=Pez_dispenser&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Pez dispenser (not yet started)">Pez dispensers</a> to skateboards, breakfast cereal, video games, school supplies, linens, towels, cameras, and even toy shaving kits. </p><p>While the animated TV series, which lasted for 10 seasons until 1996, was more light-hearted, the comic book series continued in a much darker tone.
