And no, I don’t think it’s the last you’ll see of FW styled Turtles.

The Classic Collection and NECA Retro Collection 2 pack sculpts are off because the turtles in both FW cartoons did not show the bottom row of teeth when the turtles got angry. The front teeth of the turtles was rarely shown in the FW cartoon, also. You would never know that the turtles had teeth from most of the clips of the FW cartoon. The model sheets posted here did not even show Donatello with teeth. The Classic Collection Michelangelo head sculpt looks to be the only head sculpt from the 80s to today that looks screen accurate to Michelangelo from the 1987 opening. The other turtle head sculpts from Playmates and NECA were inaccurate.
There might be FW turtles made by different companies in the future, but the head sculpt to Classic Collection Michelangelo is the only one from this century that looks screen accurate so far.
