I picked up the Mike and Raph Playmates Comic version turtles and I think they're great for the price ($8 each at Target). I just need to find Leo and Donatello and I'm all set.
 
I picked up Revoltech Donatello and Michelangelo yesterday. And I notice I had to readjust the joints on both figures.
 
Amazing figures and some real stand-outs in the Revoltech line! Got me an extra Leonardo cause he's my favorite Turtle.

I'm not too bothered that Leo and Raph have the same head sculpt, yeah, it is kind of lazy, but not a deal-breaker. But they also all have the same sewer cover stand so you can fuss about that too. Leo's and Raph's overall head shapes in the Nick cartoon are relatively similar anyways.
 
The Leo and Raph head sculpts look slightly different to me up close. They are very similar, but my Leo has some mold lines (eg. between the eyes etc) that are slightly different to Raph's. And with the ability to change the direction of the eyes etc, it's not even noticeable. In fact, the thought never even crossed my mind until you guys raised the issue! LOL!!

Overall, I think these are awesome figures and well worth the price. I do wish that they were slightly bigger though, being about the same size as the original NECA comic versions. If they were slightly bigger like the Playmates Classic Collection, that would make them even more awesome!

I looked closely as well and if anything, it's only the FRONT part of the headsculpt that is the same and NOT the back. The back part is totally different as Raph's head has a noticeable cliff-like curve (almost giving him a flat back of the head) while Leo's sort of slopes back.

Each figure is so noticeably different in unique ways that no Turtle is EXACTLY the same as the other. The height differences are there, the slight skin tone differences are there. These are honestly the best Turtle figures EVER. You do have to have some patience when posing because of the Revoltech joints, but you'll be pleasantly surprised when you're done.

The face-sculpts are all unique enough, if Leo & Raph are truly the same face sculpt, trust me, you won't first notice it...I didn't as well.
 
Try to get them from an Asian seller like Hobby Link Japan, Anime Export, or AmiAmi. They might still have them in stock. I got mine from HLJ for about US$45 each shipped to my door!
