Founded in UsefulNotes/HongKong in 1966, Playmates carried on in profitable obscurity until 1987, when it decided to enter the marketplace for figures based on MerchandiseDriven cartoons. The company signed on with ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'', becoming the licensee for [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the first animated series]]. It was a make-or-break gamble, but it paid off handsomely; ''TMNT'' became not only a sensation, but a hugely popular franchise that has endured for decades. This massive success gave Playmates the clout to license other well-known properties like ''Franchise/StarTrek'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', but ''TMNT'' is still its signature product. During much of the 90s, they had a working relationship with Creator/{{Universal}}; many of Universal's properties or adaptations had their toys produced by Playmates, and in turn some Playmates properties like ''Earthworm Jim'' had their media produced by Universal.
