The idea behind this list is to pad out the collection with characters/variants from other TMNT eras... kinda like MOTUC, but for TMNT.
Picture Jennika and Venus fighting off Fishlegs and Bebop, meanwhile Cassandra Jones AND Casey Jones (2003) are facing Dogpound and Armaggon. Aska is forced to fight the Utrom Shredder while protecting Vanilla Ice... Mutated Carter is battling Meat Sweats... you get the idea...
I won't be mentioning Turtle variants because they would be rather obvious... 2003 would require new feet and new belts. 2012 require new bodies... especially if they were to have different body types. RISE stuff? Kept to a minimum... I will tolerate Draxum, Meat Sweats, April and Casey variants... (worst case scenario, I can paint Cassandra's hair blonde and have a makeshift "Jennika" and April would become a new character.
Agent Bishop:
Let's start with 2003's Bishop, because the near immortal 18th Century Soldier becoming the leader of the MIB of the TMNT Universe is a cool character to have. Also, with all the freaks and monsters in TMNT, a guy in a suit and tie wis pretty weird.
Karai:
I'm going with the Mirage version here because of Tournament Fighters... (I made 2 references to it already) Also, the usual diversity checkboxes being filled... POC, woman...
Hattori Tatsu:
While NECA can't make a 1990 movie Tatsu, Super7 CAN get away with the 2012 Tatsu. From a lore POV, him being Karai's sensei while Shredder was away is a great idea.
Vanilla Ice:
You know you want him. Especially since he would be a slightly Stylized version of Vanilla Ice. Especially with Playmates styled weapons...
Calling it now: Microphone bullwhip would be his main weapon.
Armaggon:
I did mention Tournament Fighters as an inspiration for this list. Also, he seems like tge perfect counterpart for Ray Fillet.
Foot Elite:
Again, this is me trying to bring some Mirage stuff Into the Toyline. The funny thing here is that we hit a tough choice: do we go for Mirage accuracy or do we "Vintagize" the figures.
Option A would be making them have human proportions. (Like the movie foot soldiers)
Option B is to take the Existing Foot Soldier and give him a new head.
While option A would give the better looking toy, more partial towards the modified footsoldier.
Hun:
The Big Bad Purple Dragon Leader who is a giant of a man, but the only thing bigger than himself is his capability of inflicting pain. In some continuities he's Casey's father.
Venus di Milo:
The infamous NT:TNM character that Peter Laird hates. I'm curious how a "Vintage styled" Venus would look like.
Granitor:
The big question here is:
Will they go for cartoon accuracy, or will they take cues from the Traag Toy?
Aska:
Tournament Fighters... that is all... also, using the Japanese game sprites as inspiration. Instead of the more puritanical American version.
Those would be the top 10 choices that aren't based on the vintage line that aren't varianta of existing characters... because I could've padded the list with 2003 variants of April and Casey, CGI Movie Karai, Stephen Amell Casey and Megan Fox April, an Oversized Utrom Shredder with a Krang sized Ch'rell, 2012 Rocksteady and Bebop, The TAINT, the Shredder "clones", Rise and 2012 Aprils... just to name a few.
Most of these if not all are unlikely to happen, but a guy can dream...
