Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans are about to have a new way to shell-ebrate their favorite heroes in a half shell. Wonderland Amusements has announced the launch of pre-orders for an officially licensed TMNT home pinball machine, bringing real mechanical pinball action out of the arcade and into living rooms, game rooms, and basements everywhere.
The company, founded by members of the team behind the home arcade phenomenon Arcade1Up, is continuing its mission to make authentic pinball more accessible to everyday players. Following the successful Kickstarter debut of its first machine, Alice Goes to Wonderland, Wonderland is now turning its attention to Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael.
The machine features original artwork by acclaimed TMNT comic artist Mateus Santolouco, whose dynamic illustrations help transform the playfield into a colorful Turtle-powered adventure. Designed with families and casual players in mind, the game aims to deliver all the excitement of traditional pinball while remaining approachable for newcomers.
“TMNT has always been about fun, energy, and shared experiences,” said Jerry Cummings, CEO and Creative Director of Wonderland Amusements. “Parents who grew up with the Turtles are now enjoying it alongside their kids, and that cross-generational appeal makes TMNT a perfect fit for what we’re building at Wonderland.”
Two versions of the machine are being offered. The Standard Edition carries a retail price of $1,100 but is available during the presale for $849. Fans looking for a little extra Turtle power can opt for the Turtle Power Edition, which includes a topper and character figures. That version is priced at $1,450 retail and $1,149 during the presale.
For anyone who spent their childhood feeding quarters into arcade machines — or for a new generation discovering the Turtles for the first time — the TMNT pinball machine offers a chance to bring a little arcade magic home. And if Wonderland’s plans pan out, this may be just the first of several Turtle-themed products headed our way. Sign up for updates at wonderlandamusements.com.
