>>8335278it seems like the characters are based on their "canon" cartoon heights although the sculpts are based on the original playmate toyline.
As such, I was just thinking out loud - some of the playmate toys were shrunk or sculpted a little weird to fit them into the one-size-fits-all standard cardback packaging. If Rocksteady being bigger is an indicator that Super7 isn't feeling those constraints, and as suggested by (pic related) Shredder being the same sculpt and paint style, but being re-imagined without a hunched back and with upright legs, then what do you think about Leatherhead?
If they're willing to change Shredder a bit, then perhaps the notoriously small and flat playmates toy of the character will be updated to be much bigger.
Or maybe not?
Do you think they'd try to recapture the original toy's flat, crocodile-like silhouette, or do you think they'd try to make a toy that can either hunch down or stand upright? Presumably he'd have elbow and knee joints, so all you'd really need is an extreme neck joint that allows him to look upright at a 90 degree angle.
