TMNT toys ordered from a comic?

I found this on Ebay just now... the auction is almost over, but it has me intrigued.

This guy claims these figures were ordered out of the back of a comic, but he doesn't say much more. The picture isn't great either, but to me they look practically identical to the 88 figures. The skin tones for each turtle are the same, though they only have their trademark weapons, not the whole rack they came with in the 88 release.

I've never seen these before or even heard of mail order turtle figures. Are these really early versions that Laird & Eastman were hocking themselves, or just bootlegs of unusually good quality?
