The very first UK releases of vehicles like the blimp, Party Wagon, cheapskate etc. had unaltered "Ninja Turtles" logos, which were later changed to the UK "Hero Turtle" logo. The packaging had the "Hero" logo, regardless.

When I can dig them out, I'll snap a photo of my Cheapskates with the logo differences - one was an original '88 release, the other bought a couple of years later.

Did one of the Cheapskates have the big Turtle head?

Nope, they're both this one:

AFAIK, both of mine have the 1988 date on the underside - the only differences were the logo stickers.

I actually wish I had the original as a kid...Cheapskate 2.0 was kind of odd.

I loved the original! It was one of my first all time ever toys. I should still have it here somewhere. I'll have to make sure it's alright.
