Cowabunga, dudes! Turtle Mania is set to hit Tucson Comic-Con like a slice of pepperoni pizza flying out of the sewer, and fans of all ages won’t want to miss it.
This year’s convention, running from August 29–31, 2025, at the Tucson Convention Center, celebrates the 35th anniversary of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (1990) in a shell-shocking way. Whether you grew up quoting Mikey’s one-liners or you’re raising the next generation of ninja turtle fans, this is your moment.
In an epic reunion, all four original Turtle actors from the 1990 live-action film will be in attendance:
- David Forman (Leonardo)
- Leif Tilden (Donatello)
- Michelan Sisti (Michelangelo)
- Josh Pais (Raphael)
But it gets even better — Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman will also be there to meet fans and celebrate more than three decades of Turtle power.
This is a rare chance to meet the legends who brought the Turtles from the page to the big screen. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the fandom, these heroes are ready to meet you face-to-face (no Foot Clan interference expected).
What’s a celebration without photo ops? Tucson Comic-Con is bringing in the real deal with:
- The iconic Ninja Turtles “Party Wagon”
- Life-sized movie-style Turtle suits
Yes, you read that right. This isn’t some retro Instagram filter — you can actually take photos with the van and the suits straight out of your childhood dreams.
While Turtle Mania might be the highlight, Tucson Comic-Con 2025 is packed with panels, cosplay, collectibles, contests, and more — a full weekend celebrating pop culture in all its geeky glory. The con is now in its 16th year and continues to grow as a community-driven event for fans, families, and fandoms of all kinds.
If you're planning to join the celebration (and why wouldn’t you?), grab your Early Bird tickets before July 1st to lock in discounted memberships. Head over to www.tucsoncomic-con.com/tickets and secure your spot before the Foot Clan tries to hack the site.
