Tiago Rios. He also did a kick ass Lion-O. He actually works for Santa Monica Studios.

You're correct. Custom studios are unlicensed, and therefore, not legal reproductions. They have no rights in this scenario.
The artist sold his work to them, as he could have sold the files to anyone with a 3D printer. PCS buys his work to produce a licensed product, but probably wanted to change it up slightly so it's not confused with unlicensed product out there.
Too bad, because Donatello with goggles looks lame. Hope they drop that.
