1. Bebop and Rocksteady and cult characters popular with adults and have not had an action figure in about 20 years. Playmates look at these characters and see that they could also be popular with kids who are growing up with the new series, and rather than make ANOTHER Shredder, April or Splinter whom are already available in the other line decide to make these guys. They are more mutants for the Turtles to fight. It's an excellent strategy as fans will more than likely snap these guys up due to nostalgia and kids will due to their appearance which would mean that if financially successful we will definitely be getting other characters as well.

2. I see them in Toys R Us in the UK.

I. Cannot. Freaking. Wait. For. These. Guys.
