Painful Mispelling on E-Bay...

You've got to see the spelling on this. Krang, I sympathize.

Oh...kay.... I know there were some really weird action figures, but... has anyone ever heard of THESE??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=16474

I can picture it now:

L: "Beam me up, Mikey."
-or-
R: "Damn it, Leo, I'm a doctor, not a ninja!"

Aw yes, back when Playmates was making virtually every stomach churning TMNT variant you could think of, milking the licence for every last drop. For every cool TMNT toy, new TMNT line and Simpsons figures there are always these doozys.

Some of the most common misspelling I've found are Ralph and Leon.

This is such an abomination of TMNT! How could ANYBODY make the mistake of spelling "Krang" as "Craing"? I could spell it correctly even when I was 5 years old!

Errr... I never noticed that before, but damn, that is scary to imagine! I guess they have to have Don be Spock!

hmmmm

they made them that way because of the turtles' personalities not their occupations.

Still, anyone would have to be nuts to let Raph tend thier wounds.... And I don't trust Mikey to be able to keep a microwave running, let alone a starship.

well

The comment about Raph is more or less accurate, but Mike is much smarter than most people acknowledge (excluding his pre-red sky cartoon and next mutation versions).

They made them that way because of the turtles' personalities.

Leo is the bold leader.

Raph is the cynical, sneering, aggressive one.

Don is the passive, scientific, withdrawn one.

Mike is the relaxed, good natured one with a sense of humor.

Their personalities are almost a perfect fit.

On a TMNT fan website (I don't remember the URL) they spelled Raphaels name as Ralph. This wasn't a common typo, everywhere where he meant to say Raphael he spelled it as Ralph. I don't know how someone who is a big enough fan to make a website cannot spell a name right.

Hmmm... Heh, you've got a good point there.

Leo=Kirk
Raph=Bones
Don=Spock
Mike=Scotty

That actually fits really well, now that I think about it. Although I can't really picture Leo as a womanizer...
