Playmates Vintage Remastered

I didn't see a thread started yet, but this photo was shared on Instagram.
Can anyone confirm this is legit?

This is the second smart decision out of Playmates this year. I hope this is a full line that expands to other characters.

That is hysterical! Talk about beating Super7 at their own game and likely at 1/3 the price point....
They are basically MOTU Oing the Playmates TMNT.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about the skin texture either. They look more like divots which is a very odd, ugly choice. It looks too busy.

Should have just done the texture and detail like the old movie figures but without the big spots. They went overboard with these.

So I'm not a big collector. I have neither the time or the money to collect every TMNT thing out there. I just buy what really interests me; this would have interested me if not for that horrible skin texture. I tried to keep an open with the first picture but this went from a must buy to hard pass.

I wonder if it's too late to remove those bumps from the molds.
