Something CHEAP I noticed about the Extreme figures

I was looking at the figures today and noticed to give the turtles new expressions, they just used the head mold of a different turtle from wave 1.

Raph has Leonardo's head/expression
Don has Michelangelo's head/expression
Leo has Raphael's head/expression
Michelangelo has Donatello's head/expression

So, in other words, Mikey and Don switched heads, and so did Raph and Leo. Cheap Playmates.

That's the reality of the toy business. And that's what it is, a business. They'll entertain any way to save money. It's been like that since the days of tin soldiers. Get used to it.

If you really want to talk cheap look at what Hasbro did with Batman while they had the licence.

Yes this is true, but has also already been pointed out I believe.

Plus the turtles do basically all look alike. So it's easier to mold the heads in the proper skin tone for that particular turtle and just switch them.
