Favorite Old-School Playmates Turtle Sculpts?

[Monte Williams]

Howdy Folks,

I was a total nerd for Playmates' initial series of Ninja Turtles figs; from the four brothers to Ace Duck and Mutagen Man, I bought every figure they produced for quite some time.

One thing I never bought, though, was duplicates of Leo, Don, Mike and Raph.

I was content with the original versions, and really, the nonstop Turtle variants didn't become prominent until after I'd quit collecting.

I was aware of some of the duplicates, though, and while most of them looked somehow cheesy and/or more toylike than the originals, others seemed pretty cool; where I have always hated any and all transforming Turtles figures (the sculpts are inevitably clunky and awkward), I thought the Turtles with storage shells were cool.

Since I no doubt missed many a highlight, I thought I'd ask you lot to share some of your favorite vintage sculpts of the four Turtles.

Photos would of course be appreciated, but simple lists can suffice, if necessary.

Thanks!
