And then the standard 12-ish inch size. There are actually two variants of Mike and Raph in this size. The earlier versions had wire stiffeners in the frame of the body, intended to make them somewhat posable (it never really worked). Later versions of those two didn't have the wire. Leo and Don never had wire.
And I believe Playmates made a giant size Mike and Raph, but not Leo and Don.
There was only a Santa Raph.
There were a lot of other plushes available from that time, most notably by ACE novelty company. Frankly, all of these were crap.

I can confirm that they did indeed make giant sized versions of Leo and Don since I own a giant sized Leo (and Raph and Mikey) myself, and I've seen Don on eBay. The giant sized ones are extremely rare and usually go for crazy prices, so I consider myself lucky to have been able to pick them up (if anyone is sitting on a Don, I'd be interested...). I also have all four in medium size and Leo in small size.
The small ones came with or without suction cups. I think maybe even the medium sized ones could have suctions cups, but I might be wrong.
These were all made by Playmates and they are definitely of much higher quality than the ACE ones, which I agree are total crap.
EDIT: After a quick Google search I found this, confirming that giant Donnies do exist!
