Live Action Turtle Designs: Barron's '90 Turtles v.s. '91 SOTO Turtles

Which designs did you prefer?

How would you classify the differences?

I personally feel to make the movie more kid friendly, less gritty, for the sequel they made the turtles for the second film more cartoony looking. Bigger eyes, much bigger expressions. Even for live action turtles, more cartoony.

I obviously prefer the more nuances, detailed, smaller eyed design og the turtles in the original. The ones that were designed by Henson himself, and not his company.

Does anyone have legit information on why they were even changed? No longer the subtle details like a scar on Raphael's beak for instance. By the third film, the designs fell off a cliff. But I've seen some say they prefer the live action turtle designs from Secret Of The Ooze sequel.

Just wanted to see what fellow hardcore turtle fans feel about the changes made, preferences, etc.
