Hmm....it looks like I'm pretty close to Krang's height...but I thought Bebop and Rocksteady were taller than that, especially Rocksteady. I'm going to have to tweak my skopes. Does anyone have a size comparison between the hench-mutants and Shredder?

Personally, I think it's better that Bebop and Rocksteady look a little taller than the Turtles, assuming you want to play them up as imposing threats and not bumbling buffoons. In the first season, I believe they were a little taller than they are portrayed on the model sheet I posted.

All characters got a slightly different look after the first season, and were rarely "on model" until the CBS episodes got into full swing. At that point, Rocksteady seemed to be about the turtles' height, with Bebop being a little taller. I'm guessing Rocksteady had bad posture though.

The Playmates toys had Rocksteady standing erect and with a distinct height advantage over the TMNT.

I think bebop and Rocksteady shrank after the first maybe second season. I remember in their first appearance being a lot taller. But personally I prefer the bad guys beng taller, more imposing

Yeah, that's probably true. I definitely remember them being bigger in that first episode where they're tearing into the Turtles.

Me too Kiwamu. I like the heroes to seem outmatched. It provides more drama.

yeah, in the first battles they had, the turtles had to outsmart them and use teamwork, later one turtles could juggle them. Raph just picks one of the up and throws him around O_o

As everyone else said, they were in the first season. Even Krang's android body was a bit taller; like a turtle and two-thirds. But, as the show became more infantilized, the designs became more like charicatures, as well as Bebop & Rocksteady's characters being tweaked as the retarded slackers who slouch at ALL times.
I guess it all depends on which interpretation you're shooting for, Toei's (the pilot mini-series aka 'season 1') or the Fred Wolf charicatures...
