What really cheeses me off...
Pre-mutated Rocksteady. Everyone knows he's a black guy, so why is his toy a white guy with orange hair?

Uhh... Rocksteady WAS white before mutating. You're thinking of Bebop but they got the skin color right on that figure too.

Different side of the same coin...the mutating Rocksteady's hair wasn't orange. It was blonde. Yellow-blonde at that. Considering all the features it had to pack in (to mutate), that human Rocksteady figure wasn't too bad.

i think the reason mutatin Bebop was white instead of black was for contrast of hands.....u really wouldn't need to swap the hands if both sets was dark brown.....i'm not saying it's right...show or otherwise i just see why the toy is white...

Now why would the company mess up Bebop's skin tone? That's just plain ignorance. Great job on the repainting, JaffleMan. I would definetly buy your version over Playmate's bastardised version.

The company probably screwed up and mixed up pre-mutated Rocksteady's look instead of Bebop's. I doubt there is any ignorance involved.

I have an old toy mag at home somewhere which showed prototypes to the mutations before they came out and i'm sure Bebop was black. Also I remember him wearing a jacket instead of a vest and thus the reason I repainted mine accordingly despite knowing he had a white shirt underneath his vest in the cartoon.
