This photo shows "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' " Half Shell Heroes, from Playmates Toys, on display at the TTPM Holiday Showcase, in New York. Toy sellers aim to perk up sales that were

flat last year, though they hope to get a boost this year from toys related to Disney's "Frozen" and the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
