I think they have known for some time that they would be able to do so. I suppose that would be the reason why most of the Silverhawks are built in harder plastic. Even the wings aren't made of soft plastic as one would expect...
Something I didn't think at the time... What TMNT Character could benefit from vac metal... and his name is NOT Oroku Saki... because a Vac Metal blades Shredder would be so badass. It's not him... yes, it's the obvious choice:
Since the whole Playmates BS thing, blocking vintage accuracy, I'm thinking: How can he be made and not violate that rule?Making him A bit Bigger but not like NECA did. Otherwise, he'd be Mon*Star big and with the Vac Metal added, he'd be Over $100.
This is Too big... Nefty VO: That's what she said! |
We need to make him a bit smaller... 8-9 inches seems like a decent size...
Visually, he should look like a combo of Playmates, Tournament Fighters, and Shredder's Revenge. In vintage toy colors. His back wings should be hinged in order to not hinder articulation and distance themselves from "straight up Playmates look". The accessories are what would make or break the figure. Using the gun and swords from the cartoon would be a start. Then adding goupillon int 3 ways: 1 with real rope, 1 with plastic rope (not in the playmates toy pose), 1 new "retracted version" think Tygra's bolo whip. And the Silicon sai is just that, maybe tweak the design a little. NO VAC METAL in the weapons. The reasoning to add the 2 vintage toy weapons is that the ReAction figure has them.aybe even adding red energy effects to the swords could be a nod to the toy's red weapons.
The point of all this is, that we could end up getting a chromed figure of Chrome Dome because Super7 can do vac metal now.
