Tribute poster to the Playmates toy line

[tatsfresh]

I'm a big toy collector and just wanted to share a print I created celebrating the original toy line. When doing research for this project, I realized that so many of the design decisions they made back in the late '80s/early '90s would NEVER fly in today's toy market. Things like the Rat King's roadkill cat pelt and the illustration of Baxter choking Raph on the carded figure :o

If you look at the description in my store...I'm hand drawing a turtle head on each print with colored bandanas :)

My cousin (who is a member of the Bay Area Ghostbusters) tried posting that GB print I did on gbfans, but they had an issue with it being a "solicited" link or something. I don't know. Their forum rules are really strict over there for things that are for sale.

Wait? Mutagen Man was listed as an ally?

I kind of took some liberties there. I know he turned back to the "good" side so I left him there. I guess if anything he should be straddling the two separate lines.
