Has anyone noticed...

... That the overall design of the turtles looks very much like the mirage vol 4 comics?

The overall blocky unrealistic style reminds me of the vol 4 turtles

Feel free to move this thread if its in the wrong place

If anything, and PlasticPlayhouse's customs kinda prove it out, they look like Ross Campbell's Turtles.

I would say that they look a merge between Santolouco and Ross Campbell.

Like if Ross took the design of Santolouco and draw them in his own style.

...You realize Santolouco's are based on the Nick toon, right?

Aren't Ross Campbell's based on the Nick toon too?

Ross did some Mirage work too. Before there were "Nick Turtles". lol. He did the covers to the Raphael:Bad moon mini series, I believe. That's the one thing I liked about the new toys when they were released, they looked more comic book inspired with a more realistic detailing than the cartoon. Got to love the details.....*smiles*
