Ninja Turtles was an even better example. My favorite ninja turtle toys growing up were the versions that had them playing different sports, and the one I played with the most was Donatello with his basketball hope that he could actually shoot the ball into.

I don't remember that even being cartoon accurate, but damn did those get massive play time in my room and just about anywhere I could bring em.

lol, sorry just made me reminisce.

Yeah, I think the first time I really cared about "accuracy" was when the Michael Keaton Batman film came out, but I was 11-12 years old by then so getting to the point where I was a little more discriminating about my action figures.

Of course, the other big difference between our childhoods and now is that in our childhoods most toy manufacturers hadn't already demonstrated the technology to make good-looking movie-based figures. We were still pretty much in the "Kenner Star Wars" stage of things.
