With all this artwork they have floating around, it's disappointing that they haven't put out an art book. I know I'm not the only one that would love to have that in my hands.

I am surprised or wondering if Playmates saw this artwork and is gonna make toys

Playmates had a display at one of this years toy fairs of all the toy lines they were doing. This was shown to be one of them. I wish I knew where the picture was.

you are right it was the one Greg Cipes showed I completely forgot. That is what happens when you stop caring about playmates.

Raph is wearing a T-Shirt tux! I'll keep note of that if I ever want to make a lazy Dracula costume to

I would LOVE an artbook.
I think the concept art is one of the strongest things the show has going for it.

I'm wondering why they didn't stick with the original Leo/Wolf Don/Drac Franken/Mike Raph/Mummy

I mean not that it matters... I just feel like it would've been a nice nod.

Yeah, they did stick with the vintage Playmates pattern when they did the Cave-Turtles/Dinosaurs tie-in.

However, it is possible Nick decided to change it up a bit so as not to run into legal trouble with Universal, since the original Playmates figures were officially licensed to promote the Universal Monsters heritage. Generic interpretation of Mummies, Werewolves, Dracula, and Frankenstein's Monster may all be public domain, but a direct homage might have been sufficient to catch a lawyer's attention.

That said, I was always jealous that Leonardo got my two favorite Universal Monster tie-ins, Wolfman and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. It got annoying because if I wanted to feature them both, I'd end up with a duplicate Turtle. Consequently, I thought Raphael got the worst monster amalgamations: Mummy (still looked cool though the rotting skin was disgusting) and "The Mutant" (looked awful).
