I thought I had some photos of the open Moo Mesa toys, but I can't find them, so here's some of the "official art" which are usually a mix of photos of prototypes and 3D renders.
And here's a photo I lifted from instagram showing the other two characters.
Each toy comes with swappable heads, hats, multiple firearms, root-beer, just a really overwhelming assortment of accessories considering the price.
I still have a lot of these in stock, because their arrival coincided with some changes in both the retail market in general and how we specifically handled our new retail toys.
If you want more than one, or you're interested in picking up a case for resale, let me know and I'll work out a deal.
These guys came out of the same general toy boom that produced EXTREME DINOSAURS and STREET SHARKS and a couple of other related franchises, all trying to vaguely cash in on the success of TMNT, without really understanding what made TMNT a success in the first place.
Each of these shows succeeds and fails in it's own ways, none of them is an absolute success or a total failure, but Moo Mesa is probably the weirdest of them, and the one that is perhaps the least well remembered.
(mostly that's because Moo Mesa came out on the extreme leading edge of the TMNT response. The Moo Mesa show was released in 1992, while the turtles were at peak popularity. It has kind of old school sensibility, feeling less like an EXTREME 90s cartoon, and more like a throwback to the 80s adventure cartoons.
Street Sharks and EXTREME Dinosaurs would hit the scene as TMNT was waning, coming in to bring MORE ATTITUDE to a world where The Turtles had lost their way.
But I lump all three together because they used very similar ideas for the toys. BIG heads, chunky bodies. It doesn't have to move, it has to look imposing.)
Of course, if you're less interested in cows and bulls who are also police officers in a weird western pastiche, and more interested in genderfluid sky pirates or giant mechs piloted by labor unions, we've got you covered there too!

The original/vintage toys were made of stiff vinyl, solid cast, heavy and inarticulate. They were *big* and pretty detailed, but oddly shaped and without much movement.
