Waspinator is, to date, the only kreon I have. And it's so close to being a great, but Kreo's lack of intuitive accessories totally botches it.

Anyway... Lego minifigures are great for simple humans like Harry Potter, Indianna Jones, and Luke Skywalker. But they sometimes tend to halfass other things, and I could have easily seen the turtles ending up being halfassed with only painted details (instead of having a removable shell and new heads), like the Kraang. For that reason, I'd wanted to see Kreo get the lisence originally. I'd thought Kreos would have likely been more willing to alter their "iconic base figure."

All that said, I think that the UK's Character Builder has the best minifigures. Anyone who;s never heard of them, google Character Builder Doctor Who.
There's actual sculpting going on.

The Who ones are neat, though really I only want a building set tardis and Daleks. I have the Galvatron Kreon, so I'm pretty happy about Kreons.
The thing I love about Kreons and Megablocks though, they have ball jointed legs and arms. So wider poseability.

Megablock in particular goes all out though. Most of my minifigs from them have elbows, knees, balljointed heads, waist swivel, and the ball jointed legs and arms. So it's almost like having a mini MU figure really. That's what I'm tired of with lego, especially on the turtles. Turtles need those sculpted details and poseability. They're turtle ninjas! I'll give em credit for cutifying it, but eh, hasbro has proven you can cutify and still give poseability.

Limbs that only go one direction is just boring to me. Especially now that I'm hooked on the sculpted detail of megablocks or the detailed accessories that came with Galvatron.
