Lionsgate has announced the 7th Season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will arrive to DVD on May 12, 2009 in four collectible packages. This is the first time these episodes have been released on DVD.

Read the info from Lionsgate below (I especially like the Toys feature included on volume 1):

COWABUNGA! It’s been 25 years since Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello, emerged from the sewers of Manhattan and were transformed into heroes-in-a-half-shell battling petty criminals, evil megalomaniacs, and alien invaders. To celebrate the 25^th anniversary of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles^®, Lionsgate Home Entertainment is presenting all 27 episodes of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 7, available for the first-time ever on DVD.

Fans can collect the commemorative set that will be sold as four separate DVDs, each featuring different episodes from Season 7 and a Mini-Classic Turtles Action Figure! All four DVDs feature a different turtle on the cover, and fit together to create one power-packed scene with all of the wise-cracking, pizza-obsessed superheroes aligned and ready for battling evil. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Season 7 DVDs will be available on May 12^th, for the suggested retail price of $14.98 each.

Although the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand originated with comic books first published by Mirage Studios in 1984, the “heroes in a half shell” found pop culture fame in large part due to the animated television series that ran from 1987-1997. The original animated series has enjoyed phenomenal success on DVD with more than 1.3 million DVD’s sold to date.
