Gamers' favorite -- and quite possibly the only crime-fighting turtles in the world -- are coming out of their sewer and making an appearance on the big screen for the TMNT 2014 movie, 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' Since the announcement of the "real-life" adaptation, turtle nostalgia has been popping up for resale all over the Internet.
'Three Bricks Clothing' company decided to join in on the reptilian hype, but it decided to take the old and make something new. You can now wear Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael action figures from 1998 around your neck. The company took the original action figures and handmade necklaces with matte acrylic beads to hang them from. This is a totally new take on vintage jewelry.
