⭐ Special Add-On · Kevin Clash Exclusive
Meet Elmo & Splinter — In Person.
Kevin Clash — the original puppeteer and voice of Elmo and Splinter from the 1990 TMNT film — is bringing both puppets to Saint Joseph Retro Con. This is an extremely rare opportunity to get a photo with the actual characters, performed live by the man himself. These packages are separate from the standard TMNT photo op and will be in high demand.
