Classic Playmates Sculpts based on which artist?

So...looking through peoples' sale threads and acquisitions I've seen Turtles that make me wonder if they are based on certain artist depictions of the Turtles.

I mean, the Pizza Tossin' and Deep Diver Leo look familiar. Can anyone help me place them?

Hedden & McWeeney's designs seem the most likely inspiration for the Pizza Tossin' Turtles' look.

Kinda what I was thinking. Deep Sea Leo seems to be Simpson from a couple Archie issues.....maybe.

I've always thought the pizza tossin turtles looked like they're going for the Rat Fink style.
