Toon Raph and Leo are scarier than Breakfightin’ Raphael. In case you can’t tell, I’m in the camp of people that is against variants in action figure lines. I can tolerate some, but sublines of them I loathe.

Well, in defense of Playmates, twenty seven years ago, technology was not as advance as it is right now. The 2017 NECA San Diego Comic Con exclusives were what children of the 90s wanted then, but the likenesses would not have been easy to achieve in those days. 1987 Fred Wolf cartoon accurate turtles, villains, and side characters would not have fit well into the 1988 original toyline at all. The toon turtles did not either.
