I hope that we get some good news in the toy department. Or is it SDCC... many companies are doing their own things so I lost track. In any case this weekend, toy news. Oh shit it's in 202X that SDCC dies and becomes something else.
Hasbro:
I will only comment on Legends, since I'm not much of a Classified customer. I don't care about Black Series either.

- Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle
- Kraven the Hunter (Aloysha Kravinoff)
- Ironpool (without alcohol)

Bishop
April
Baxter
Hun
Karai
Chaplin
Karaibots
The Justice Force Members
Vintage INSPIRED TMNT:
I NEED to establish the term Vintage INSPIRED because I don't want to ruffle Playmates's feathers too much. I will also split this into various subgenres.

Figures that were in the Vintage line but tweaked to appease Playmates
- Pizzaface
- Dask
- Kala
- Traag
- Chrome Dome
- Hothead

"New" Characters Vintageized
they're new as in they didn't make it to the Vintage line, but they'refrom 80-90s media: Don't worry, No Next Mutation here.
- Granitor
- Dregg
- Carter (Mutated)
- Tatsu
- Lotus Blossom
- Attila the Frog
- Rasputin the Mad Frog
- Stainless Steve Steel
Vintage inspired variants:

Detailed explanations:
ND Don:
Basically Don the Undercover Turtle but with soft goods coat and different accessories.
80s Briefcase
S7UC Raph gun
New collapsible Bo
Eastman and Laird Masks
Glam Rock Raph:
Basically HM Raph with different tiger stripe pattern on his pants, Microphone on Raph's belt is removable. The shirt is painted in Metallic purple to have a "satin" look.
80s Sai drumsticks
80s Base
New 80s Mic
New Dee Snider styled Wig
New David Bowie styled Wig
New Slash (GnR) Wig with hat
DS Leo:
Basically Lt. Leo inspired look with a touch of Guile:
Guile Tanktop with Desert Camo Military pants.
Removable soft goods vest
Removable bandolier and dog tags.
For his accessories NONE of the vintage ones will return.
S7 Slash Grenades
New:
2 "Rambo" knives
M249 SAW with ammo belt
M9
Shotokan Master Mike:
Basically Karate Choppin Mike with soft goods Gi top and belt.
Heads:
Toy based
Screaming
Hands:
Standard hands
Judo chop hands
"Kamehameha" hands
Accessories:
Gi with sleeves
Sleeveless Gi
Belt
Fireball effect with stand
Anchor woman April:
Basically a modified take on April The Ravishing Reporter.
The Blazer and Skirt would be soft goods for the sake of articulation (skirt) and for the sake of displayability (blazer) the color scheme would be yellow and white. If the skirt is removed, she'd be wearing biker shorts.
Accessories would have to be new and follow the theme of concealed weaponry.
Microphone Whip
File Switchblade
80s compact shuriken
Cellphone rapier inspired by Burne's
Hamato Yoshi:
Basically the human form of Splinter
The sculpt could reuse some Shredder parts but with the addition of soft goods kimono and Hakama.
Heads would be normal Yoshi heads and a turning into rat head.
Hands would be the same, but with a turning into a rat hands.
For accessories, rack weapons new walking care, and Renaissance Art book. Would be funny if a nod to this mural was made
Oroku Saki:
Basically a Nod to Mutatin' Shredder, but with soft goods clothes. If you remove the soft goods clothes you'd have a Shredder body without spiked armor.
As I've often mentioned, this would be a 2-in-1 with piecerls to make A Shredder.
Snap on arm and leg spikes slip on neck piece and alternate Shredder helmet and done!
Shinobi Bebop:
Basically Ninja Knockin' Bebop in Maroon and blue grey. The color scheme is meant to echo the OG Bebop palette in a more subdued stealthy ninja style. Some further deviations from the OG design would be adding the Ninja fishnet undershirt to his torso
For accessories:
Bebop sized Shuriken, Ninjato, Kunai, Meteor hammer (not a ninja weapon but a nod to a different Bebop figure)
Pit Fighter Rocksteady:
His design would be heavily inspired by Gatekeeper Rocksteady
The filigree details would be different as well as the shape of some of his armored parts (leg and Arm armor) the Torso armor would be interchangeable with a faux fur tunic reminiscent of Pit Fighter Conan. His crotch would have a MOTUC styled Loincloth with a belt inspired by Both MOTU and the vintage GK Rocksteady.
Accessories:
Knuckle dusters (hybrid of Conan and PM Gatekeeper Rocksteady)
Spiked Gauntlets inspired by Conan
Gladiator Sword
Spiked Mace
Gnarly Biker Karai:
Sounds like a new variant, but not. It'll be just ne a way to get the April 2 Body made but in shades of Red with black accents (think Tetsuo, Kaneda) the back of her top will have a black Foot Clan Insignia.
Accessories:
Katana
Foot Soldier Blaster
Kunai from sewer Samurai Leo
Kusarifundo
This Karai would be a single release paired with the Foot Sasori Bike a purple, grey, and teal repaint of the Ninja Newscycle with a "tail turret" and "tire slashing claws" remaking parts for the future redecos of April II, which would be rechristened to Bodacious Biker April with the Ninja Newscycle. Which should be colored like in Shredder's revenge.
New Variants:
Precedent is Wanderer Leonardo...
Let's tackle these! First let's complete the action movie Turtles
- Tracksuit Mikey: Based on Game of Death Bruce Lee but in an Orange tracksuit with A dark green stripe.
- Chinatown Rumble Raphael: Loosely inspired by Jack Burton: Tanktop design should have Casey Jones and a Pepperoni Pizza .
- Don the Kame Senshi: Loosely inspired by 70s-90s Tokusatsu shows
Now let's tackle a few variants:
Human Baxter:
Self explanatory. 2k3 has AA Baxter, 87 should get their Blond Goldblum.
Burne The Investigative Editor:
This is based on the Cartoon, specifically an episode where Burne's with Vernon out in the field. Burne is sporting a Trenchcoat and hat. You see where I'm going with this. They can bypass the Playmates pitching, since this Burne isn't a copy of the vintage PM toy. This has a trenchocat and hat (alternate hatless heads)
Rampaging Rocksteady:
A new bulkier version of Rocksteady with different paint job and looking like he could be a battering Rhino. Add new heads. With and without helmet. (An excuse to give us a closer to toon accurate Rocksteady)
Foot Elite:
I've mentioned these way too many times
But let's see what SDCC? Brings us.
