Fans of the heroes in a half shell are in for a radical treat. The original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy is finally slicing its way onto 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray for the very first time, thanks to the folks at Arrow Video.
Whether you're revisiting your childhood or discovering these cult classics for the first time, this release is the definitive way to experience the green machine's big screen debut. I loved the first two films in the franchise, but it lost me with the third. Maybe I'll have to give that third movie another try!
The new box set includes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993).
Arrow Video has given these fan-favorite films the full restoration treatment. The first film was meticulously restored from the original 35mm camera negative, while the two sequels were spruced up from the original 35mm interpositives. Expect these classics to look sharper, cleaner, and more vibrant than ever.
This isn't just a basic re-release either. The trilogy comes packaged in a limited edition box set that includes a perfect-bound collector's booklet featuring new writing by Simon Ward, John Torrani, and John Walsh.
You'll also get reversible sleeves with both original and newly commissioned artwork, brand new commentaries, and fresh interviews with the directors, cast, and crew.
Arrow Video shared all the juicy details, noting:
4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentations in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of all three films
New 4K restoration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the original 35mm negative by Arrow Films

And more to be announced!
Currently, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy 4K Blu-ray set is available for pre-order in both limited edition 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray formats. You can grab them from Arrow Video, with price points set at $70 and $65. Arrow is also dropping exclusive versions with alternate cover art for collectors who want something a little extra on their shelves.
Pre-orders are expected to hit Amazon soon and will likely make their way to Barnes & Noble as well. Heads up, B&N is running a 50% off sale on select Arrow Video releases, which might be the perfect opportunity to score some extra goodies.
Whether you're a longtime Turtle fan or a new recruit, this 4K box set is a shell-shocking addition to any collection.
