Super7 and the 3 figure wave rumor.

 IF TRUE and if they reestablish USPS as a shipping option for pre-orders, then it would be a godsend and I'd be able to split waves between S7 and BBTS. In some cases, I could theoretically get the whole wave from Super7.

Now the question is how will this affect THAT line.

My Guess is:

-New Variant/Non Vintage character

-vintage Variant/Repaint/MOTU styled maximum parts reuse figure

-Vintage characters

Let's make a few non-2k3 waves as examples 

Example 1:

New Variant, Redeco, Vintage character:

Martial Arts Mikey: inspired by Game of Death Bruce Lee.

Mirage Shredder: 

Wave 10 Shredder with black wraps red pants and Torso and silver blades. (See ReAction Mirage Shredder as reference)

Tokka:

Close to the Playmates Tokka (reusing Slash parts, but with new feet based on Turtles in Time in order to differentiate itself from both NECA and Playmates.

Example 2:

Non-Vintage character, Vintage Variant, Vintage character:

Mutated Carter: 

Carter in his mutant form MOTUC body highly recommended. Weapons would be "Super Shredder styled" Rack weapons, because Carter learned under Splinter.

Don the Undercover Turtle:

For some reason, I see Super7 making this with soft goods to appease Playmates and taking some liberties.

Like my custom, but with some Vintage figure accessories and some new ones.

General Traag:

Here Kyle will pull a Rat King with Traag amd pseudo vintageize a Shredder's Revenge Traag.

Wave example 3:

Non-Vintage Character, Low New Tool character, vintage character:

Granitor:

Gets some Traag parts pre-made. Also it gives Kyle the excuse to make Traag similar to Granitpr if he can't go full Playmates on him.

Rasputin the Mad Frog:

Refuses the whole.Genghis body, Repainted.

Refuses Splinter's Bow and Arrows

New pieces: Quiver, Archery hands

Napoleon Bonafrog:

For the Most Part he'd be Playmates-like but with a few changes to appease the Master License golder.

Example 4:

New Variant, Vintage Variant, Vintage Character:

"Punk" Rocksteady:

This is based on the 1987 Pizza Power boardgame where both Rocksteady and Bebop were called "Punk" Essentially it's Toon Rocksteady in Vintage toy colors... but that would be lazy... I'm looking at the European version of the game, where he is called Kerato.

It would only require a new torso/heads, but premakes the toon redeco.

I mean, the American is a nice excuse to get a Toon Rocksteady Body, but check Kerato out!

Shut up and take my money! Personally i'm not too sold on his color palate but the design is killer! It's like Rocksteady made love to mad max..

Heavy Metal Raph:

We want the 80s Glam rock, hair metal Raph, Kyle!! None of that black metal, death metal, goth metal bullshit!

Dask:

The sculpt would be mimicking Playmates but with the proper Cartoon application. Translation: Cheez Whiz Yellow pants.

At the end of the day, all this does is delay releases to a drip in a line like TMNT. 

B-Flynn is slowly becoming Neitlich 2.0 with the corporate double speak, "alternative facts",  and skullduggery. But Playmates is throwing wrenches to screw over S7 instead of looking for ways to collaborate. Like say, softening up their grip on the toy designs in exchange for Playmates getting access to the new variants/ Characters to be fully vintageized... like say 5" scale wandering Leo, Karai,  and Guerrilla Gorilla. For example. Last but not least, Vintage Purists. Yeah, Playmates is being a little bit h about things, wanting the line to fail because Traag won't have the stupid Creepy crawlies from Playmates is dumb.
