Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume in Minneapolis?

Looking to be the super uncle for my TMNT obsessed 4 year old nephews bday party in August. Any ideas where I can find an "official" Turtle costume like those used in the movies?

Could you please clarify? For you to wear at the party or for a gift for him?

Go to the Warner Brothers Studio Facilities website, and click on [Costume rental catalog]. You just might be able to get one of the actual costumes. An email to [e-mail] might be a good idea, too, especially if you explain about your nephew. :)

The costumes in the movies had a sophisticated array of animatronics in them, so I don't think you're going to be able to find anything at quite that level. But a TMNT costume should be doable-- just do the legwork and call all the costume rental shops in the area. This ought to get you started.

You don't need much to look like a Ninja Turtle.
