TMNT have taken over Sydney! Larger than life balloon sculptures of Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo were created by Matthew Falloon to celebrate the release of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Rise of the Turtle DVD, which is out today.

How AWSM do they look, YAKS? They’re five metres tall and took two days to build. We reckon it’s a rad effort ‘cos they totez look like the dudes! We dig that they even have weapons.

They’re on display for today only, so if you’re a Sydney MANIAC, head over to Darling Quarter (1 Harbour St, Sydney – between the two CBA Buildings), between 9:30am-5:30pm. Matthew will also be there showing off his balloon artistry and even making mini TMNT and balloon weapons!
