Pizzaface: where does he stand?

 I keep coming back to Pizzaface, since he's the one Toy Oddity that I truly wanted to see in Ultimates. With the Playmates designs embargo, I have to wonder where does he stand:

TMNT Entity has a good chunk of info on Pizzaface that I've referenced a few times. In the blog post we can seea concept art of him going by an earlier name: Pizza the Hut... a reference to Jabba the Hutt and Pizza Hut. The art is made by Errol McCarthy, a name that should sound familiar to fans of a vintage toyline from another company...

The Pizza the Hut figure concept looks very different and quite similar to the actual toy.

Instead of having the Italian Mustache, it looks like he has a massove 5 o'clock shadow. He's not missing a finger on his left hand, and various details are different from the actual toy.

Then we have the Newspaper strip appearance of Pizzaface that was allegedly drawn by Jim Lawson, creator of Rat King at Mirage, who has worked with Eastman and Laird on TMNT.

While somewhat similar to the toy, there are a couple of differences on the drawing:

Full set of teeth on Lawson's PF, while the toy is missing a few. Lawson's PF has some thick eyebrows that the toy lacks. There are no tattoos or creepy crawlies on Lawson's Pizzaface. The pants on Lawson's are long enough to cover most of his leg, while the toy has shorts that are slightly longer than Daisy Duke's...

Now you can guess where I'm going with this:

What if, a big and huge What If? Super7 could take Pizza the Hut's concept art, combine it with elements from Lawson's Pizzaface and make a whole "brand new Pizzaface" that is not purely Playmates... Like say, having the Lawson styled head as an alternate head, while the main head is Pizza the Hut's. Maybe even adding the mini head from the prototype as an accessory that could be swapped for the chef's hat...

For hands, the usual c-grip, fists, relaxed hands. Perhaps an additional pizza tossing hand like a Frisbee could be added. 

For accessories, alternate peg legs (pizza cutter, cleaver, rolling pin, even a partially chewed long and thick chorizo chain), couple of flinging pizzas, a chef's knife that can be sheathed on his apron like a sword (see Pizza the Hut as reference) the idea remains that his cleaver, rolling pin, pizza cutter and chorizo can be used as a weapon or a leg. The chorizo chain should look like Pizzaface is twirling a chorizo lasso, but at the same time it should be usable as a leg.

But Super7 could also give him an extra "normal leg" to make a "pre-mutation" Pizzaface. Using Lawson's look as pre-mutation and Pizza the Hut as the Mutated form.

What I left behind from the vintage toy is the Pizza box foot, the pizza box shield, the creepy crawlies, and the missing pinkie on his left hand.  

Assuming that he is doable, this is one potential direction they could take on the figure. Another radical change would be making the 2012 toon version of Pizzaface... Personally, I'm not too excited about that version. I guess this issue would also arise with characters like Hotspot or Monty Moose that didn't get any appearances in other media. 

We shall see where we stand once Super7 announces Wave 11... The non-Karai figures shall show us the direction the line will take.

Karai better be a part of it, because I want, nay I NEED HER! But wave 11 might be a bit further away... since we have 4 TMNT waves up in the air. (7,8,9,10) We probably won't see wave 11 until two of those waves begin appearing on people's hands. Hopefully, we can get a pleasant surprise with the unpleasant looking pizza chef.
