David Wise's TMNT
 

I remember awhile back there was some thread talking about an interview with David Wise and part of it went into how he had modeled each Turtle after a certain character or celebrity, but I don't remember who he modeled them after or where I could find such a list.

Can someone more in-the-know about behind-the-scenes OT stuff help me out?

My interview perhaps?

I don't know about modeling after celeberties. But Wise was the only one that cared about continuity, character presentation, and details in that show. Little things like Krang being a disembodied brain instead of just a weird looking alien, or Oruku being Shredder's FAMILY name not his first name like other writers always seemed to screw up.
