Favorite Mondo Gecko design from 4 series?

What's your favorite Mondo Gecko design:

Original cartoon:



Archie comics:



IDW:



Nick:




I think my favorite is IDW's, which feels like a good mixture of the classic design updated.

I like the Archie, Fred Wolf, and IDW design, Really hard to pick which one.

the thing is, Fred Wolf and IDW have similar origins, Except for Archie.

Though I personally like the Archie version better, Cause at least he had a Girlfriend, Who stayed with him even after the Mutation.

It's too bad he gets killed off iwhen he joined the Mutanimals.

The original Playmates toy is my favorite. Neither the OT or Archie books have him looking exactly like that, so I view it as another design. Fresh offa Ryan Brown's paper, no less.

I went with the IDW design, Cause he looked the most humanoid looking in that.

You know I just realized Nick's Mondo is the only one not wearing a yellow shirt. That's why he seems so different, that and no hair. The others were all dressed in yellow.

I agree. I usually like the original Playmates design.... and then get kinda disappointed when the cartoon goes some other route.

I do believe the Nick show is backwards, the characters appear in the show first and toys are made of them months or even waves later. And TMNT feet aside, so far the figures haven't been TOO different from how they look like on the show. Compare this to how the figures of Irma and General Traag came out in the older toyline...

I'll go with the Archie one. Not a departure from the toy or cartoon (I dunno which one came first) But streamlined and he's kinda got that 80's 90's hair metal thing going on with his hair do there.

I just realized something interesting about the character. Back in the 90s his comic book counterpart started out human, while the cartoon version started out as a lizard. Now it's the other way around.

Yep, The Nick version is based on the Archie version.
