Could those figures have been the inspiration for the Japanese 2-part "Supermutant legend" TMNT cartoon?
The figures are from 1994/5
The cartoon is from 1996

Hmmm, and here I always thought they were based off the cartoon, that is after I knew there was the Japanese cartoon and saw what they looked like.
I dunno...i guess it's possible...i still havent seen the cartoon..would love to :)

They tied in with the cartoon. They were originally released in Japan by Takara (makers of Transformers) and Playmates brought them over here, so they weren't made by playmates whastoever.
I own a dvd copy of the anime, but I hate anime so much that I never bothered to watch it. It's a bootleg as I don't think they've ever made an official release, but it's crystal clear like a real one (could be real). If anyone wants a copy I'll just burn it, just PM me and I'll send you one free of charge.

man I loved this line so much so that I wanted them to make the rest of the cast of characters as super mutants like mondo geko and rat king etc. how freakin awsome would that have been!
I kind of got so obsessed with it at one point just as I did with tournament fighters that its all I would draw is super mutant versions of the other turtle characters like rat king and slash!
ah the things that could have been!

The super mutants had the best articulation out of the old line.
Yea, that woulda been cool to have other characters in the Super Mutant series...Rat king is my all time fav character in the tmnt universe so I woulda loved to see him like that....

How would you like to see Krang, in his "super mutated" robot body, or him as an actual full bodied brain?
This would have been a possible Casey.

& I'd liked to have a new updated crazy version of krangs android body with a highly detailed more evil looking krang from season one of the old show.

I know, I'm saying that could have been a possible look for the Super mutant version.
