Playmates' Laziness has reached a new Low... TMNT vs Street Fighter II!

 Better be ready for yet another reuse from the "Classics" Turtles body that they have used for their TMNTC, Movie Turtles, SOTO Movie Turtles, "Mirage" Turtles, Vs. Cobra Kai Turtles...

So, are the Street Fighter figures worth getting another set of oversized Turtles?

Holy Hell is that supposed to be Ryu, or an Elvis Impersonator? Also, why is Leonardo so grimy and creepy looking?
I'm hoping that Ryu is taller than BT Bukkake Billy Eilish. The Kojima reference is a nod to Turtles and Kojima sharing Konami. Otherwise, I could not get the most out of this set.
After seeing Chun Li,  she might be shorter than Mutated Goldeen.

While not shown, Raphael will go home and be a family man, while Donatello might need some mighty wings...

Wait, SFII is only getting Guile, Ken, Ryu, and Chun Li?
Playmates don't ⅛ ass this? There are 17 SSFIIT characters... You have already made Rocksteady, Bebop, Shredder, and Triceraton...
There you have enough for Zangief, Dhalsim, E-Honda, and Blanka...

If you play it smart and make a Cammy, you could reuse parts from her and Chun Li to kitbash parts for an April. Ryu or Guile could provide some kitbashable parts to make a Casey. Now you have an excuse to finally delive Splinter and Krang...
Huh, now you can do Cammy, M.Bison, Vega, and Fei Long.

Now you need 4 more TMNT folks to reach the 16... 
Modify the Turtle Torso, fingers and you could have Slash. New arms, head and lower legs on the Shredder body yields a Foot Soldier, reusing a Human body and adding some kibble overlays could make a Rat King. Zangief body with some rocky torso overlays makes a Traag.
There you have all 16 characters...

Akuma has potential as a PX exclusive.

Sadly this would require Playmates to ½ ass things and not go with their traditional ⅛ assing.
