Heroic Half-Shell Sacs

The Ninja Turtles Backpack Pays Tribute to an 80s Classic

— December 20, 2011 — Life-Stages
Now you can store your favorite pair of nunchucks in your own half shell just the way Michelangelo does with this officially licensed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles backpack from online retailer 80sTees.com.

Worn in LMFAO's music video for the song Party Rock Anthem, this piece allows you too to show your affinity for the 80s cartoon with this nostalgically hip novelty bag. The green turtle shell sac is large enough to transport all of your belongings and will transform you into one of the sewer-dwelling superheros.

The bag comes with padded, adjustable shoulder straps for extra comfort and four eye masks -- in purple, red, orange or blue -- so you can decide which one of the fab four turtles you want to resemble. You could even create your own color of mask and dress as a new addition to the crime-fighting foursome. With the Ninja Turtles backpack, storage meets fantasy and your imagination is the limit for what this bag holds in store.
