What’s with the lame Rocksteady and Bebop designs?

[Bry]

Yeah, the art for Bebop and Rocksteady and the Turtles seems to be the newer art they produced for new retro-style merchandise 5+ years ago. It looks fine, but definitely a bit "off". The Turtles themselves are taller and leaner than most of the art from the '80s/'90s - their height and proportions almost look closer to the 2003 versions than the '87 designs.

Good catch! They definitely look like they're based on these:



(And I still find it weird that Bebop's human form on that toy was a white guy with orange hair for some reason...)

I actually picked it up at a Hot Topic sale when I was in the States recently. It's pretty great. Love how some of the "TMNT Adventures" mutants are represented.
