Ooze

Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael began as mere turtles until they encountered a canister of mutagen that transformed them in to the lean, mean, green incredible team. The bright green toxic waste that mutated them was later dubbed “Ooze” by the turtles. We promise our version is free of toxins, but it just might turn you into a hero in a half shell. Go ahead, give it a try…

Turtle Power!
