Nickelodeon is going to be putting together a huge booth that will feature a Hidden Turtles Lair, Towering New York Cityscape, Double Dare’s Hamster Wheel, a 23-Foot-Tall Reptar, Life-Sized Loud House Characters and more at Comic-Con International in San Diego on July 19th through the 22nd.
There is also going to be a one-of-a-kind virtual reality experience where you can hang out with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live,” which allows you to hang with the crew in New York City. You can have a conversation with Mikey or Donnie, who with be voiced live on the scene by Brandon Mychal Smith and Josh Brener. This will probably lend itself to some funny conversations between guests and the voice actors.
The “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Live” experience is created by Nickelodeon’s Entertainment Lab who debuted Slime Zone in 2018 as well. We expect that we will continue to see some cool things from this team going forward.
The booth at the show is going to feature a New York City cityscape as well as many other items. The Double Dare hamster wheel will be there as well where fans can take photos with the obstacle course challenge. The one that seems most exciting is a photo opportunity with life-size characters from The Loud House. There will a 23 foot tall Reptar that will look over the retail area as well as an Invader Zim themed area as well. There will be some character appearance as well at some autograph signing sessions.
Nickelodeon will present two panels at the show: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, featuring the new voice cast and a sneak peek at the upcoming series; and INVADER ZIM: Enter the Florpus!, a reunion with the original voice cast celebrating the new TV movie.
