What is the source/inspiration for this particular look for Toad? It doesn't match the artwork in the packaging, the version used for the original 20 years ago or any classic Toad I remember. Is this a more recent version?

I believe this is based on the Jim Lee/Rob Liefield art from the early 90's.

It is. Somebody found some Liefeld artwork that looks almost exactly like this and posted it over on another forum back when Toad here was first revealed.

Yeah it's the 90's version Rob Liefield was doing, Jim Lee was doing something similar.

 

I do as well wish this Toad was a classic Toad, a plumper version

this would have been the ideal version for me

but I guess I will just take what I can get, this version we got is fine enough...wacky head and all (which I'm not a huge fan of)

Really wish they just reused pinless Amazing Fantasy Spidey arms for him.

[McHogan]

So bad... just laughably bad. If truly based on Rob Liefields art then I must ask: why?  

If anyone was holding their breath for this ive got to think it was hoped that the execution was better. 

Id be ok if Hasbro moved on from the ToyBiz homage figures. The price is just too high for what we get

I thought it would be hard to pass up an updated Toad figure no matter what it looked like, but it appears I was wrong.
