TMNT Bust Banks by DST
 

Why can't they make figures that look like this?

Dunno, but these are so bought. Will look perfect on the overhead shelf with the other turt stuff in front.

These look great. I might have to get me a Raph bank. Though there is something that bothers me. It's a small detail, but Raph's eye's aren't the right color. Leo and Mikey are the only ones with blue eyes, Raph's are green.
Because Playmates makes the figures.

Yeah, but couldn't Playmates use the 3d files from the show to make exact, detailed figures?

Knowing Playmates... I would guess that it's not something they probably can't do. They severley limit articulation and paint apps due to budgetary reasons as-is.
