The irony is not lost on me, it’s the same thing they did to Stockman. Black dude in the comics, white ginger in the cartoon.

It's funny because he actually looks like WWE Sheamus' Rocksteady.

They might've ended up using an earlier design for a ref. If you look at early merch by Random House, human Bebop's pictured on one puzzle with same skin and hair colour.

[@BKLYN_TZU]

I remember when TMNT's was a week long special when I was a kid back in 1984 Bebop was black before he got mutated into a wart hog it's weird they would change from his original race to being white

[@MICjordanTPR]

It's not that weird... back then they didn't really make toys of black characters. (Name ONE other than Lando Calrissian). Remember, this was before Spawn.

[@BKLYN_TZU]

@@MICjordanTPR that's not true I had the black action figures from those TV Shows and Movies so your wrong their they based the toys characters off these films so it's very weird they would change his race

[@TheBetweenWorlds]

I have never seen human bebop until now and they both look cursed. Hopefully I forget this and go back to thinking they were animals to start with and the mutagen was added to them.

[@KemuriZen]

I remember as a kid having the Donatello mutatin toy it would freak me out because how real it looked as a regular turtle

[@spiritandtimeakalilroachie7014]

With motorcycles. Footclansmen. Weapons. I just subbed. Thank You for flashing me back to the past. Phenomenal collection.

[@romanempire8139]

I had the TMNT show version figures. As a kid I painted their eyes white and with a blacker paint id etch lines in to make them look like from the comic. I eventually found out yeaaars later there's lots of people who do that. To look more faithful to the comic. Looks cool if you do it right

My brightness was so low I thought he changed race during the mutation 😭

[@fredmanie2926]

I still have these, and about 75 more from the 80s and early 90s, but had all my accessories in another bag thats been missing for years, and probably gone forever, I thought about selling them but they're not worth much without the accessories 😢

I bet it was a misinterpretation of some old black and white concept art sheets

[@gregoriocruz4530]

I had all the mutating turtles, and Bebop. I never understood the change either.

[@cleangenJZ]

Probably to avoid the heads being same color. But as a kid I never really thought about it.

I had the original mutating Rocksteady but I remembered seeing Bebop similar to the cartoon. I feel like a Mandela effect happened with this figure for me. I am so confused. Obviously he was bulky and not a perfect bebop human form, but the face was fairly close, from my memory. I don't even remember the drills in the feet. Mind blown. 🤯
I even had the mutating Raph.

I used to have the Raphael version of these when I was a kid. I don’t think I actually “mutated” him too often because I was too young to entirely understand to change him lol

[@Quintesson05]

That was my #1 beef with the vintage Mutations line. In the Season 1 cartoon, and even origin story coloring books, human Bebop was black, with blue or purple 3D glasses. How did he come up Whiter than human Rocksteady?
What's more, Bebop's shade of brown isn't very far away from a human skintone, if anything, Bebop would've been the only Mutation to look natural, excluding the Turtles.

[@gummiworm6171]

Bros tail is in the wrong place

[@garganrose]

It kind of reminds me of the reason why the Baxter Stockman from the 87 cartoon was white, despite the book version being black. I heard it was because they didn’t want to portray any negative stereotypes about Black people i.e. being a criminal or something like that, but then everybody was so quick to point out how BB was black before he became a mutant wart hog.

[@LankNtheBoys]

Man I think I heard bebop a few too many times

[@VAGABONDBASSIST]

It’s modeled of the original cartoon design of human Bebop from the late 80s/early 90s series.

[@justjasonbeardenjokes]

No, because the human Bebop from the 80s toon looked like the first figure he showed.
