To be honest I never realized till recently all the animal mutants from the old 90's Playmates toyline had the same impact on kids back then as Pokemon does now.
Just like Pokemon is about "Gotta catch 'em all," back in the 80's and 90's kids wanted to buy every animal mutant on toy shelves they could find. I know I did, I wanted every single animal villain or character they made...I didn't care about the Turtle variants.
It holds true today, with all the Nick mutants in the toys and cartoons essentially exist so kids can buy the new animal mutant they made and have fun with it. TMNT really was the "Pokemon" of the 80's and early 90's.
