The stars of WWE will undergo a cool transformation into ninja turtles, in a new line of figures.

What do you get when you mix the hard-hitting action of WWE with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? You get a new line of hybrid action figures that will hit store shelves soon. The news was announced this week at New York Comic-Con.

Imagine 15-time World Champion John Cena as Leonardo, the legendary Undertaker as Raphael, the “Macho Man” Randy Savage as Michelangelo, or even the man known as Sting taking on the image of a ninja turtle. That’s exactly what you get with this new creation from Playmates Toys. Those are the four big names that will be featured when the new line hits shelves exclusively at Walmart in November.

The figures will include incredible detail, capturing the likeness of each turtle but also the signature look of the WWE Superstars. The figures will stand 6″ tall, comes with full ring gear and various accessories to use for each turtle. The figures will be featured at the New York Comic-Con all weekend.

But this isn’t the first time WWE has teamed up with the half-shell heroes. Earlier this year, former WWE Champion Sheamus was featured as Rocksteady, one of the villains in the recent reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. In an interview earlier this year, the Celtic Warrior discussed his role in the movie.

It’s been a big year for WWE figures. Earlier this year at San Diego Comic-Con, fans got to see an up-close first look at a new line of retro action figures. That line will include Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, John Cena, Kevin Owens, and throwback versions of The Ultimate Warrior and The Undertaker.
