Tribute poster to the Playmates toy line

tatsfresh · 10-29-2012, 03:00 PM

I'm a big toy collector and just wanted to share a print I created celebrating the original toy line. When doing research for this project, I realized that so many of the design decisions they made back in the late '80s/early '90s would NEVER fly in today's toy market. Things like the Rat King's roadkill cat pelt and the illustration of Baxter choking Raph on the carded figure

27x39"

If you look at the description in my store...I'm hand drawing a turtle head on each print with colored bandanas

My cousin (who is a member of the Bay Area Ghostbusters) tried posting that GB print I did on gbfans, but they had an issue with it being a "solicited" link or something. I don't know. Their forum rules are really strict over there for things that are for sale.

I kind of took some liberties there. I know he turned back to the "good" side so I left him there. I guess if anything he should be straddling the two separate lines.
