Eastman’ & Laird’s ol’ Buddy was the first real artist they went to back in the day when TMNT really started branching out in popularity just before the Teens’ phenomenal “CARTOON BOOM”.

As one the Mirage Alumni’s longest illustrators, colorists, inkers, letterers & creators .. Steve’s contribution to TMNT as well as the arts is almost infinitesimal.

Even a good majority of the classic style guide on so-called “RETRO” branded TMNT merchandise from T-shirts to shot glasses to boxer shorts seen to this very day are responsible from this man ( the powerful team of BROWN / LAVIGNE ).

and here we have a P.K. “SCRAMBLED VARIANT”. Not a “REAL” variant, but an unusual case of scrambled parts in a MOC package.

Li Yang’s broken appendages appear all over the insides of this plastic bubble either courtesy of Krang’s pan-dimensional brain scrambler device or one of Lord Shibo’s evil body-part mash-up spells.

This was received courtesy of P.K.’s courtesy of Li’s co-creator; Monica Sharp.

And it would appear the real culprit of this “variant” is poor assemblage. After Li left the factory – stress and settling during shipping just sent him all to pieces.

This really breaks Tokka’s heart so i’ve set to repair him.

Plus it gives us a brief glimpse at the inner workings of the construct of a vintage TMNT figure.
