Any chance we could get toy versions of Eastman and Laird’s original turtle drawings?

I don’t mean as in Issue 1, I mean earlier when the two passed drawings back and forth for fun. One turtle from Kevin and one from Peter. I’m not sure how well they’d look as toys, but I really do want them. They’re niche but simply being ninja turtles means they’d likely sell.

The 40th anniversary coming up seems like the perfect time for it.

I'm pretty sure there was both a figure and a statue of the First Turtle about a decade ago.

You are correct. And it is available in several versions

Didn't those MONDO TMNT figures not sell all that well?

I remember the horrible QC issues with Leo and the rest of them just seemed half ass ... and then eventually more from a Mirage line was teased and then they just fell off the face of the earth.
