Well, I'm 39, and as a kid I did see it that way, and apparently Leo656 did as well.

Anyway, I'm happy for those here who are happy to have these.

When Hasbro's April has a better looking head and face than anything NECA or Super7 have put out so far, must sting.

I'm not IN LOVE with the idea of a Power Rangers / TMNT crossover. I was never a follower of PR as a young person. It was all TMNT for me, and once it started to fade and PR started to take its place, I tuned out and got interested in other stuff. And at that age, there's no shortage of things to latch onto so I had no ill will towards the franchise, I just wasn't interested.

I'm buying these because well, it's turtles -- and IMO, the figures are done WELL. I've always been curious what turtles by Hasbro would be like and while this isn't the form I'd prefer, I'll take it.

Much like the DC Collectibles Batman vs TMNT figures... these are one of those odd mashups that back in the day I never dreamed would happen, let alone become figures, and yet here we are... so I think they are a fun addition to a TMNT collection even if you aren't really into Rangers, just like me.

Not exactly the same thing, but it was the animated X-Men series that killed TMNT for me, but I love them both as an adult. Like you, I never liked Power Rangers, but mostly because I thought the show was dumb.

(12- or 13-year-old me had a major crush on Amy Jo Johnson, though.)

Very similar here. As TMNT was starting to wane, we started to get Fox's X-Men The Animated Series and Batman The Animated Series (two shining examples, but there were plenty of other shows I liked around that 92-94 period for sure)

I had been drowning myself in turtles for over four years by then, so while I wasn't done with turtles, I was ready for something fresh and new for sure.

I'm still a huge X-Men fan to this day.

I think all these figures are very cool (even the fact that they exist at all), but I don't really see how this April head sculpt is anything special:

such a boring April, it's just reusing the same pink ranger body and a new headsculpt which I agree is nothing special but I also agree I like it more than Super7/NECAs.

While it isn't special, it also doesn't look bizarre, doll-like, shiny, disproportionate or overly generic. It's somewhat reminiscent of the GI Joe Classified female head sculpts.

I think the Hasbro April most resembles the DreamX "Newshen," but with minimal paint application:

I don't think this is exact reuse of pink ranger. For one there is no skirt. But also the proportions seem a little different. I could be just seeing things as far as the proportions go though. My eyes are not the best at that sort of thing.

Actually, you're right! It does look like the DreamX "Newshen"

By the way, why is she called "Newshen," instead of April? They called their Casey, Casey.

They had lost the license by the time April was scheduled to release, so they got "creative" like they did with their original Krang/Cerebral figure.

Green Ranger Shredder will be packaged alone. Raph will either come with Casey Jones or Tommy Oliver as Steve (the Foot Soldier).

I’d rather have a new Casey. Hope it’s him.

I am loving the line so far. Can't wait to see Casey as foot soldier and Shredder.

Yeah, I didn't expect the april figure but it is a cheap figure with a new head slapped on.
