FTC has a new 2 pack

 With an accessory diorama.

$70 for Hunter, the Cop, and the Cell. Hunter, who will be officially reviewed for the Advent calendar in Toycember... I got him to use as a thug.


My review on the FTC Website.



It came from the Toy Chest: Pen dropping on thing edition

 If you know the infamous bloopers from the Original Thundercats, you know what I'm talking about.


I was going to review only Wilykat, but they're a set, even if they're individually packaged.

Super7, when?
But let's ignore Wildstorm  and focus on the youngest Thundercats whose names aren't Lion-O.
Size comparison.


Now the youngest looking Thundercats, since they're like 2 years older than Lion-O, but their cryopods worked correctly. 
The annoying Kid Sidekicks of the Thundercats... but a thousand times less annoying than Snarf... The Thunderkittens... Older than Lion-O before his pod malfunctioned, now Younger looking than Lion-O but still older than him...  there we go. 


Articulation:
Despite being different sculpts from their Mattel counterparts, the articulation is similar, but slightly better on paper. They have the terrifyong waist ball joint in place of an ability crunch. Wilykit's skirt isn't as intrusive as I thought.
4.5 for both


Paint and sculpt:
The paint is an improvement over Mattel... on their faces and Wilykit's outfit. A downgrade on Wilykat's outfit. Mattel's paint job is more accurate there. Wily Kit feels like she too has a wrong shade of blue. The sculpts are a bit better on Super7's. Also, they're smaller than Alice and barely taller than the FTC kids.
Kat: 3.5
Kit: 4.0


Accessories:
As with Mattel, there is a clear favoritism towards Wilykat.
He has 5 hands
Extra head
Coiled lasso (Reused with Kit)
Loose lasso (reused with Kit)
Spaceboard and stand (reused with Kit)
She has 3 hands
Extra head
Coiled lasso (Reused with Kat)
Loose lasso (reused with Kat)
Space board and stand (reused with Kat


At least Mattel was more unique with the weapons.

Kat: 5.0
Kit: 4.5
Kit: Oh my Lord! Why are you covering yourself?
Lion-O: It's nothing Wilykit. The Sword of Omens is acting up.
Kit: Aww! Remember when you had a crush on me?
Lion-O: I-uh I-I-I-I gotta go!
Kit: I have a crush on you now!


Overall;
Doing Math says that Wilykat gets a 4.33 while his sister gets a 4.33 as well? Fuckdammit!! Are these worth $55 each? Hell no! Are these figures an improvement over their Mattel counterparts? Yes... but only if you use the Mattel rope weapons with them. 
Kit: I'm on entrusted, Lion-O and you are the only suitable partner.
Lion-O: By Jaga!
Jaga: Lion-O you must stop! She's a teenager and you're-
Lion-O: A younger teen trapped in this body.
Jaga: But the optics...
Kit: Shut it, old man! Lion-O is my lord and sire and as his subject, I must take care of him! Not to mention that I'm OLDER THAN HIM! She needs someone her age! That's why I went back in time and brought young Lion-O.
Young Lion-O VO: That's not how this works. She wants Big Me! He'll, I want Big me!
Lion-O: What the Hell? I'm Gay now?
Jean Grey VO: You're welcome, Nefty!
Nefty VO: You were supposed to make Wilykit not be in heat. I didn't say anything about making Lion-O gay!
Jean Grey VO: can you say Hey?
Nefty VO: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!

Top vehicles I'd like to see in 1:10 scale

 I have been on a rough patch this month, since Mom's 10th Anniversary is coming and I still can't believe it's been that long. It still hurts like if it had been yesterday.

But, The show must go on.

Limousine:
Works for WWE, Marvel, DC... 

Police car:
With both Hasbro and Figures Toy Company making police officers makes sense to have cop cars.

Golf Cart:
Usable with wrestling figures, Donald Trump, Hell, I can see Deadpool riding one... or a power wheels. To the golf cart , I can see that chasing an enemy while quoting happy gilmore... or Gilmore girls. He thinks they're related.

PEO cart:
It looks ridiculous as hell that is why I'm interested in this.

Jet Ski:
Or whatever the generic name for it is


Sorry guys, I can't get my head in the game, it's just

Sep 28, 2025

The next Jada SF wave won't come out until 2026

 I'm not pointing fingers but

You know... is it Grate again? 
In any case, there will be a Street Fighter drought until 2026...

On the other hand the NECA 2012 TMNT are dropping in October... yay?

Should we get the odd titles on a Metal Gear Solid Master Collection

 Master Collection vol 2 would most likely be: Peace Walker + MGS4 and MGSV.

So what about the odd games like:

Ghost Babel
MG Rising: Revengeance
MG Acid games
Portable Ops
And:

It would be a cool idea...
Even if it's just for The Memes, Jack!

FTC Trump expansion pack ideas

 This is about the Toy, not the man the toy is based about. With that said let's talk accessories:

MAGA Hat alt heads:
The same heads we got but with a MAGA Hat

The rest of the Male hands in Trump Orange:
That also includes the Cellphone and accessory holding hands from the fans line.

Charts and graphs with dry erase marker:
He loves personalizing those charts:

Special Signing hand:
Whether documents, bibles, or women's breasts, The Donald loves to put his name on things.

That would be the Basic Donald... Now for Figure Numero Dos:
Donald Trump: Golf Edition:
Basically a Non Talking Donald in Golfing Outfit.
Maybe FTC could consider making a Special Presidential Golf cart  (and sell a normal version separately)

Hasbro is getting a trademark

 For Transformers

that... Hasbro protecting their IP, surprised it took them this long. You'd think they would have gotten it earlier.

It sounds silly but at the same time it makes sense. 

Capcom Punisher 2 pack is out

 For Pre-order...


Hot damn! I regret not being able to pre-order due to having too many preorders... it has most of what's needed to make a great representation of the game in action figure form. $63. It's not that bad price but there are tariffs and other additional costs that may have an adverse effect for some people. 

Kingpin repaint when? 

Buuuuuuub! Insomniac Wolverine trailer revealed

 Holy Asscrackers!


The only thing it could've given me a bigger boner would've been Cathal Dodd... or Scott McNeil playing Wolverine.

Wonder if it'll be Mission based or Open world...

So much gore. Last time I felt like wolverine was when I sadly strangled my Scott Summers to Jean Grey... Not telling you if it was Famke or Sansa...

Noah Centineo as Ken is giving me mixed vibes

 This pic has been making the rounds.

He captures the essence of Ken... then I remember that Akuma is Roman Reigns... and all my excitement gets killed.

They're currently filming in Australia. For some reason, I'm getting street fighter 94 vibes in a it's gonna be a bad movie but not Legend of Chun Li bad...

Also, this movie lacks Pedro Pascal.

The way they're combining characters.This is gonna be a different canon. Also , this can has a street fighter V vibe to him.

Sep 23, 2025

Mondo 200X He-Man

 Will be $95 while Clawful is $125.

The Limited Edition of He-Man will be $115.
Ha ha, ha, yeah, no. Nearly twice the price of Super7, with similar or worse quality control.

Don't get me wrong for the most part.It looks pretty good but the quality control is not inspiring. Lately I've been hearing lots of horror stories with the quality control of the larger figures.

But if you are gonna take a chance with them. The human is about a little bit over 7 inches.

Gues who got left behind

 Today was the Rapture. Survived Y2K, Hercolubus, Mayan Calendar... MGS1-4 + Revengeance, Thundarr the Barbarian.


So far no one I know has been Velociraptured.

Konami is womdering what METAL GEAR game to remake

 Everyone and their mother are screaming for MGS1 but I have better choices 



I know that metal year solid bakes. Elements from both games and turns them into 3D but to have the actual original 2D games in 3D would be amazeballs.

This is what people should be choosing, but no, they're gonna go metal gear solid one metal gear solid 1 and metal gear solid 1. Yes, I would like to see all the metal gear games. Made in 3D and 4 modern consoles. But let's pick the ones that needed the most first like the presolid games.

Sep 21, 2025

Somehow The Virtual Boy has returned

 Yes, Nintendo's WORST console is back for the expensive NSO tier.


And you need an additional peripheral to play this shit. But they also made a cardboard version for those who want to go green while they see red.

Honestly, I don't see the appeal of this being on the higher online tier. This is not exactly making me feel like holy shit. I need to upgrade my Nintendo switch online.

Sep 19, 2025

First official MOTU pic...

 It's He-Man...

Riding Battle Cat... that's it... the movie might suck donkey dick, but it'll have He-Man riding Battle Cat on the big screen... duuuuuuude! This is freaking huge. Wonder when will the trailer come out...

The only thing I hate is that Mom isn't here to see it with me.

Sep 18, 2025

Melodia is here!

I am so fucking aroused...

And Hardware... and Flashback...

$65 each!? Yeah, no...

Their killen teh lien.


Sep 16, 2025

Son de plata y de acero

 Silverhawks... Super7 remembered they do Silverhawks toys and they teased Flashback

I suppose the reveals will come during the week.

Honestly I don't know if waves will be smaller, but I'll post a speculation list assuming a normal wave.:

Flashback
Condor
Timestopper
Hardware 

I would prefer Melodia, but the joke is delaying Melodia.

Non-vintage toy making a case for TMNT's:

I'm going to borrow a term from a former Mattelian Diplomat, The Classicizer Machine. Use it to "turn other era figures" into Playmates OG line visual style, but with Ultimates! Articulation.
These will be for multiple characters;
Next Mutation is temporarily banned from the list:

Categories I'll use:
Mirage Comics
1987 Cartoon
1987 Era Videogames
Live Action movies Including the Bay Turdles. Of course, there will be separations via eras.
2003 Cartoon
2012 Cartoon
RISE of the TMNT (I know)
IDW Comics
Archie Comics
Mutant Mayhem Fuck Mutant Mayhem.

Unlike the Toy based rant, this one won't be monthly and there will be a December hiatus due to the final Advent Calendar and last Toycember... y'all know why. Yes, the intro has been copy/pasted.

Representing Mirage Comics:

(^)(^) of Time: 
It's Renet. But she wouldn't be 100% Mirage Accurate, to avoid stepping on NECA's toes. It would be a Playmatesized Renet.
She needs larger than April V1 sized melons. No buts! She needs her old school cleavage as well. 
Her leotard would be cerulean Blue with a gold belt made of golden pocket watches with a larger watch on the front. Two watches would be placed on her large breasts acting as "additional nipple protectors" and 3 smaller watches on her abdomen.
She would also have a neckpiece that holds her gold shoulderpads AND her red cape clips to with 2 pocket watch clips similar to Wingnut's. 
Her gloves would be red with Gold Bracelets and Vambraces.
Her red Pirate boots would have golden shinguards with blue accents.

Hands: Usual hands.

Heads: (4)
"Blonde v-toy April"
"Hooded Blonde v-toy April"
Renet no hood
Renet hooded.

Accessories:
Timestress helmet for hooded heads:
Red Helmet with gold and blue elements
Soft goods red cape
Time Scepter (based on the Third Live Action Movie)
Chrono Shield A large Clock with removable clock hands
Hourdagger
Minuteknife
Shogun fauld

Why Renet?
Boobs... is what Nick Cade would say.
Justification for Walker and a Spector-esque saga is what the horrible fanfic writer in me would say.
Since Savanti Romero has Shogun elements, I added the fauld to Renet to complete the Shogun Time Trio, which also complements Walker. But seriously, the answer is Boobs.

Representing the 87 Cartoon is:

Caitlin:
The previous list had Zach and expanding the Not Teen Brigade. I'm just getting rid of the Hyumans to get to the nitty gritty, the freaks! Also, Nick is pointing a Stinger Missile launcher at me demanding Caitlin. Since I want to live, I am adding Zach's girl space friend.
Although,  she looks more like his sister than his female friend.

Body sculpt:
The Classicizer might make Caitlin Older, due to old Playmates figures being roughly the same size. This is convenient because we need a 16+ Caitlin to be able to use the Party Wagon. So, a slightly taller Caitlin. But in Classic Playmates Fashion, we need to change her and not make her toon accurate:

Like Zach, she gets Kneepads and elbow pads. Cade, get your mind out of the gutter. I don't care you're a year younger than her! The knee pads would be Pink, while the elbow pads would be light grey. Her outfit wouldn't be Toon accurate. She has her light pink sweater, but she also wears a saturated pink vest. Her pants would be light grey with red Chuck Taylor styled shoes. She would require swappable feet at the slightly above the ankle cut

Hands: 
Standard hands, lockpicking hands with sculpted picking tools, computer hacking hands

Heads: (4)
Neutral (ponytail)
Laughing (ponytail)
Neutral (loose)
Laughing (Loose)

Accessories:
April styled Turtle Communicator
Pink Skiing  visor with pink lens. (Works on all heads to act as a "Mask")
Pair of stun batons 
 Zach's Backpack in maroon
Laptop
Alternate bare feet (reference to Don Turtelli)

Why her?
Again, Not Teen Brigade and Zach needs his boss. Also, I'm being threatened with Metal Gear Solid weaponry. 

Representing the 1987 games is:

Hyperstone Heist Tatsu:
 He's a lot easier to make than say, Fire Freak or sissyphus. 

Heads:
Mask head (Basically a featureless head where you attach various masks)
Neutral
Angry

Body sculpt:Based on the Shredder body with new Torso and shoulders. He has the Shuriken spike launchers mounted on his forearms and a new plastic Gi (can be reused on Blade/Ninja Robo)

Hands:
Standard Shredder hands Plus kunai Spike holding hands
Accessories:
Rack Katana
Sewer Samurai Leo Kunai
War fan open and closed
4 Masks:
Oni
Tengu
Kitsune
Hannya mask 

Why Tatsu? 
Do I EVEN need to explain why? He's the one character that has been missing for  early 40 years!

Representing the 90s movies:

Other than movie variants of April, Casey, Shredder, I don't see what else could be done...
This will be skipped and be replaced by media from Another Source... wait,  the CGI movie counts as part of this continuity.

Nightwatcher:
Using the Classicizer would make the Nightwatcher Inaccurate to the source Material:

Heads:
Helmet
Unmasked Emo Raph with greasepaint around his eyes.

Body sculpt:
We start with a new Torso, Space Cadet Raph Shoulders and hands with new biceps and forearms.

We finish with Rappin Mike Legs and Space Cadet Raph lower legs and feet.

Accessories:
2 manriki
2 Sai
Cowabunga Carl oversized head in Michelangelo colors 
Soft goods brown poncho for Leonardo

Why him?
Because I ran out of worthwhile Movie Characters (Keno, Perry, Tatsu and I cheated with Tatsu.)

Representing the 2014 Turdles from Bay:

Cyber Shredder:
I mentioned him when Making Sacks. Classicizer powers are go!
Take 2003 Shredder with new head and right hands.
Give him a new razor cape. Repaint him in a more silver Samurai inspired palette.

For accessories, clip on extra blades.

Rerelease as Vac Metal figure with new hard  fauld.

Representing 2003:

Mutant Hun:
Once again, the Classicizer is in OVERDRIVE!!
We start with the Slash body:

Heads: 
New Hun head gritting teeth and posable ponytail 
New snarling head with posable ponytail

Body sculpt: Hun gets a new Slash belt with a sort of loincloth dangling on the front as a nod to his pants. His buckle reuses the Tokka Foot Clan insignia. He refuses the Tokka Shoulders and Biceps with new Spiked Forearms.

Hands: New Slash hands WITHOUT the blades.

Accessories:
Slash nunchaku
Head and spine of a battle damaged Foot Soldier (nod to Rahzar's weapon)
Saw blades shuriken (the plug into belt like Slash)

Why Mutant Hun?
I did say he was coming, so here he is.

Representing 2012 toon is:

Spyder-Bytez:

The Classicizer has a lot of work to do here, since part reuse is impossible. 

Body Sculpt 
His limbs would be similar to Slash's in both size and  proportions, but insectoid in sculpt. He would also get the Spiked pads.
His body that should be roughly the same as slash. He should be slighty wider though.
Instead of swappable heads, he gets swappable mouth plates. Sculptwose, he'd be made less adorable and more creepy to fit with the i0s aesthetic.

Plates:
Gritting teeth
Smiling
Spitting

The spider legs atop his head get pseudoball joints.

Hands:
Standard hands 

Accessories:
Webb and acid spit effects

Why him?
It's the worst possible Man-Spider. He has this 80s toy vibe despite being a 2012 character. Also, the list was already human heavy and I need to add some freaks, hence the no Bradford... I just happen to like This widdle fweak! 

Representing Rise of the TMNT:

Meat Sweats:
A Mutant pig made from a former chef. The Classicizer has some heavy work to do.

He should be Bebop sized, because pigs...

Heads: 
Grinning
About to eat with mouth wide open
Angry

His body, like I said should be Bebop sized but unlike Bebop, meat sweats doesn't hunch over.
He would require chunky legs to hold his rotund body and we can have a stand disguised as an overturned Mixing Bowl with spilled contents that plugs to any of his heels as an 80s style added support.

Hands:
The usual hands
Tendrils of various sizes to assimilate powers.

Accessories:
Tenderizer 
Chef's Cleaver (reuse Pizzaface's)
Chopping board shield

Why Him?
I could make an alliance of evil cooks between Pizzaface, him, a brand new Chinese cook, and a brand new Puerto Rican cook. 

Representing IDW:

Null:
While the Archie Null is more Toyetic, I'm choosing IDW's Null.

For the Toy, I'll take elements from the Archie Null and apply them to the IDW one to make Horny Gender bent Red Lex Luthor more exciting. 
Heads:
Neutral
Angry
Full Demon mode with Long horns.

Body sculpt:
Brand new body sculpt with ar.s from. Inja April and forearms from Vanilla April.
Her Torso would sport an ancient looking Battle armor similar to Karai's, but showong more cleavage. From the waist down she sports a business pantsuit and high heels all in black. Her back has an interchangeable tab to plug in wings.

Hands:
Usual hands 

Accessories:
Flaming sword with removable flame effect
Blaster
Wings 
Soft goods "button shirt" in grey that can be opened.
Soft goods black blazer

Why Null?
Honestly, I've no idea. It just made sense somehow. I know there are other Mutants like Sally Pride, Lita, Sheena, etc. But Null made sense.

Representing Archie Comics:

Null:
This Null has a penis and is flesh colored. The other Null has a vagina and is red colored.
The Classicizer had some work:
Heads:
Neutral
Grinning
Cigar head
Full long horned head
Body sculpt:
We start with a Thundercat styled body for Null.
He would have holes on his back for the wings.
Removable suit overlay with swappable arms:
Suit arms and bare arms.

Hands
Usual hands, Cigar holding hand

Accessories:
Slip on suit
Alternate suit arms
Wings
Blaster
Flaming sword

Why Null?
We have the IDW one, why bother with the Archie One? Same reason I want both white and Black Baxters or white and black Aprils.
Also, the list is a bit girl heavy and adding a nearly 10 inch Vulvana would get me killed.

AI stories a rant

 Have you seen the AI girlfriend ads on various platforms?


Like that. Most of them require money... like porn, why pay for stuff that can be obtained free?

Enter Reddit. I was guided to some AI story websites. I've had more fun there than the last 5 games I've played. Especially derailing stories. 
Like there was this story where the Player character gets caught by his stepmother banging his stepsister. She's supposed to dominate and peg him. I got her to whip the character to the point of being hospitalized due to blood loss, then the AI decided the mother and daughter were lovers who were traveling Manhattan while the player character was ignored. Then the player character escaped the hospital through the sewers and fought Ninjas to get back to his stepfamily. Playe's character dad resurrected as a possessed zombie. 

On another story, PC (player character) was being set up with a girl for a romantic date. We ended up watching The Room and making fun of it just to be attacked by mimes... not just any mimes, NINJA mimes. The AI added the ninja to my guiding mime prompt.

Then there was the one where PC has sex with a girl and has to meet her father.
Forces PC to fight in one to one combat.

One time I had the PC pull an Autumn Snyder and have the AI character try to hide the body. 

Other times the AI goes on a fritz. In the end it's a bit scary. How artificial intelligence can "adapt".

It came from the Toy Chest: Inner Circle intensifies

 You know what's coming.

The Figures Toy Company Police officer is here.
I don't  think I need to explain a cop, right?

Articulation:
If you have a previous Figures Toy Company Wrestling Crew Figures, you know what to expect. There are no overlays hindering the articulation.



All in all he's a basic FTC Figure 
4.5

Paint and sculpt:
The Police officer has some new parts. Arms, legs and upper torso. He resembles Johnny Sins.
Guess we need prisoners...

That aren't bald Mark Zuckerberg.
The badges are painted on..
4.5


Accessories:
Multiple hands
Alternate head
Slip-on utility belt
Handgun
I wish he had come with a Police baton... for reasons.
5.0


Overall
Officer Johnny gets a 4.33 as his final score. 
Hopefully a headpack will be made and maybe add black cops. There's an accessory pack available.


Expanding on the Law Enforcement line: Criminals:

 Well, it makes sense. Not all arrests will be for Supervillains. We also need average criminals for street level Superheroes...

So, for that, I'll create the Criminals:
It will be stereotypical looks for criminals, ie:
Italian Mobsters wearing suits and carrying Thompson Machine guns, gangbangers wearing sports outfits, torn hoodies, lots of bling, Yakuza being in suit and ties while sporting katanas, etc.

I will choose 6 kinds of gangs:
East European Mob
La Cosa Nostra
Yakuza
Narcos
Hoodlums
Bikers

The East European Mob is obviously lily white, therefore, no racial variation. So let's begin: 
Tracksuits would be in Red, Yellow, Orange, Black

Type 1:
slim body with tracksuit

Arms, legs, shoes, tracksuit overlay
New Accessories:
Steel pipe

The colors for their suits would be:
Black, grey, blue all with matching ties.

Type 1:
Reusing the Announcer body, hands are black to simulate gloves.
New accessories:

Making a case for TMNT's:

 Wyrm: This one is easy but it's hard at the same time. But let's try. Mustn't step on any toes and ruffle feathers:
NECA did an amazing job with the commercial version. But we need to tackle Temu's Mantenna.

Sculptwise He'd be inspired to the original...
Changing the shape of the tears in his clothes will be a start... his paintjob will be different:
The sucker's on his left leg will be painted and the area surrounding the suckers will be yellow. The unpainted areas will be painted in purple and dark green accents. His flesh will not be that vibrant light blue. It'll be closer to Skeletor's blue while the greens, yellows, and purples are vibrant. His uniform will be olive green, a lighter shade of Leonarso skin.

He would have a single head with articulated jaw. Swappable tongues and eyes.

Tongues: (4)
Neutral no worms
Neutral worms
"Venom styled" long tongue no worms
"Venom styled" long tongue worms

Eyes: (6)
Neutral (2)
Mantenna styled round with veiny stalks (2)
Ad/NECA styled "phallic bugged out eyes (2)

Hands:
The usual hands
The wiggling index finger come on hand
Pointing hand

What about the right tentacle leg?
Ooh! Easy! Interchangeable legs!
Let's say 4 of them:
Somewhat curled. Not in Playmates style to avoid issues.
New standing straight leg
New sitting/crouching leg
New violent kick with almost fully stretched out tentacle.

Accessories: 
They will all need to be changed.

Worm belt:
Gone. He gets standard carpenter utility belt. Blame Playmates.

Wrench: 
Loses the Porcupine sculpted into it. Buuut hear me out!
Playmates is a little bitch.

Sledgehammer: It would get a longer handle.

Worms: Even though I attached some presculpted worms to the tongues  I want to have the extra hanging off his mouth.

Why Wyrm?
He's a gross character that I had as a kid. 
Also, Super7 can doubledip on a GITD redeco.
GITD Blue Plastic with the clothes painted in Neon green, the hair, Boot, and glove in Neon Pink with the tentacle yellow areas.

Expanding on the Law Enforcement Officers line from FTC:

 When the LEO line was revealed, I mentioned the lack of Melanin of some officers. I also mentioned the lack of females and lack of Obese officers. Well I want to expand on that:

Detectives:
Basically, Plainclothes cops. Here we can get a couple... and very little new parts needed:
All Detectives will need a new hand: The badge holding hand (similar to the cellphone hand from the fans)

Uptight Detectives:
For the males a recolor of tthe Announcer body:
For the African American one:
Tan suit and red tie.
For the Caucasian one:
Grey suit and dark blue tie
For the Females:
The Referee body with new arms and a new female blazer. Use Amber's feet for shoes
For the Fat one:
This one require the most new tooling. But it can be for the most part reused on the other LEO styles as well.
This requires a new Button shirt torso, new long sleeve arms, new slack pant legs and new shoes.
New gun hand and gun. Lastly a new blazer.

Loose Cannon Detectives:
For the Males, reusing the generic Male Fan body with new overlay and arms to create a Varsity/Team Jacket. Think of Foley or Riggs.

For the Females, a New Torso is needed. The standard female bra torso or the referee torsos are not good. Although a new upper torso with a more plunging neckline could work with the referee abs. If you want to go for the T-shirt look, then the referee arms work. If you want a leather jacket look, the Uptight female detective arms could work. The legs should be the Amber's legs painted as pants with the boots painted in a different color.

For the Obese ones, we have the body parts already.
One could wear the T-shirt torso with the Blazer and slacks (in jeans colors) and the shoes painted as sneakers.
The other can be in the T-shirt torso, jeans and sandals instead of shoes.

The Unorthodox:
For the guys this is mainly the heads, which should look extra scruffy. Maybe having a cup of coffee and a half eaten donut as special accessories.

For the Men:
Type 1:
Long sleeved outfit without blazer, slacks and shoes. Add soft goods trenchcoat.

Type 2:
Standard Male body with Hawaiian shirt overlay. Pants are painted like jeans and shoes are painted as sneakers.

The idea is that Type 1 are the "Noir wannabes." The Detectives who joined the force after watching too many movies and old TV shows. 

Type 2 is the laid back detective with weird quirks that somehow gets the case solved. He plays the good cop to the "noir" bad cop.

Fat ones:
Type 1:
Soft goods long trenchcoat. Long sleeved outfit and slacks.

Type 2:
Standard fat body (including shorts and sandals) with a Hawaiian shirt overlay.

There are no "unorthodox females" on this lineup.

Undercover:
While plainclothes Detectives (ie Loose cannons and Unorthodox type 2s) can work as UCs, visually. I want Criminal-looking UCs.
Special accessory:
Badge hand from detectives
Men:

Type 1:
Brad Overlay in neon (non pink) color normal t-shirt underneath, new shorts and sneakers.
Black dude is definitely getting an Orange hoodie and Green shirt. Blue shorts and green sneakers. White dude is getting a blue shirt with red hoodie and blue jeans with red sneakers.

Type 2: 
Sleeveless tanktop (shirt body, new upper arms), jeans and sneakers.
Black dude is definitely getting a white tanktop, blue jeans and black sneakers. White dude gets a white tanktop with khaki pants and black shoes.

Type 3:
The Hunter Hoodie with long sleeved arms and jeans.
White dude gets the black hoodie with the long black sleeves. The Black dude gets a white hoodie with white sleeves.

Fatties:
Type 1:
Tank top and shorts with sandals.
White dude would be red shirt blue shorts.
Black dude would be blue shirt red pants.

Type 2:
Hawaiian shirt overlay long pants and sneakers
White dude
For the white guy Light blue shirt grey pants white sneakers.
For the black guy, pink shirt khaki pants, black sneakers.

Women:
Type 1: 
Aside the heads, there is only one new body part here: a short jacket torso overlay:
Using the Amber body, skirt, and the referee arms we complete our first undercover female cop:
For the white gal: pink bra, red jacket, pink skirt, pink panties and brown boots
For the black gal, red bra and panties, pink jacket, red skirt, and beige boots.

Type 2:
Using the Lisa Body with the Referee Upper torso to create a faux crop top and by having the upper part of the thighs in pant color and the rest of the leg in flesh tones we complete the short shorts look.
For the white girl, a light blue crop top with pink shorts and shoes.
For the black girl a lavender top with neon green shorts and shoes.

Standard Police Officer:
We already have the white dude:
Enter the Black dude. New head same police body.

Enter the Policewoman:
From the lower torso down, Females Referee. New upper torso and arms. New utility belt.
For the white policewoman, a ponytail edging head
For the black policewoman short curly hair.

Big Guy:
I mentioned most of the body parts needed on the detective. Complete the rest of the parts to make a donut muncher. New utility belt.
White guy should be bald as well but give him a mustache.
The Black guy should be bald and clean shaven. So he isn't confused with Reginald Veljohnson.

SWAT:
Holy shit! I didn't realize SWAT dude has Cargo pants... (note that I will most likely forget when I buy one of these: they all do)
So, Black dude with Flat top... kinda like a young Will Smith without Dumbo ears.

Female SWAT Officer 
Would need new helmet, new tactical vest:
Reuse the Ref body from the crotch up, maybe reuse the guy cargo pants.
White officer, slicked Carrie Ann Moss styled hair
Black officer, shaved head like a black GI Jane.

SWAT fatcat:
Would need a new vest and helmet.
White dude could be a blond dude with a ponytail. Think Super Saiyan Steven Seagal.
Black dude could be looking like after sundown, he shall partake on chelonian potage.

Not touching the State Troopers, because I would be highly venomous towards them. Because I'd make them ultra rednecks and even suggest ghost outfits...

Sure, I'd like to have California Highway Patrol Officers for no reason at all.

The biggest expansion: 
Police cars:
Your Basic 90s to early 00s Crown Victoria styled cop car made for 6-7 inch figures.
Features:
Rolling wheels
Driver and passenger side doors open and close
Sits 4 figures.
Has built in divider.

Comes in 3 color schemes:
Manhattan Blue and white
Tampa Green and white
Los Angeles Black and white

I'm guessing this item would be on the 60 dollar range.

Undercover car:
A two seater car something that looks like a Toyota Corolla hatchback kind of car.
Features:
Rolling wheels
Opening doors and hatch.
Can store Police weapons in trunk.

Police Bikes:
Not all cops ride cars and police bikes might be a Cheaper option for some folks:
Just like the cars, you get 3 color schemes:
Manhattan Blue and white
Tampa Green and white
Los Angeles Black and white


Accessory pack 2: (this will be made for the current white male police lineup, not my ideas for expansion)
Bringing new accessories to the fold.
2× Police batons
1× Female body handcuffs
1× Male body handcuffs 
1× Fat body handcuffs 
2× Tear gas launchers
2× TASER guns
2× Pepper spray guns (the spray can with gun grip)
1× Half eaten Donut
1× Whole Donut 

That's just stuff from the top of my head, as I could also add Criminals, but that's a rant for another day.

Figures Toy Company did it again!

 You know how I've been asking for Law Enforcement Officers?

We got PIGS!! We got regular pigs, Country style pigs, and Extra Spicy pigs! Where's the bacon, here's the bacon!

Cade! Cut it out! Yeah, the officers are all lily white. The standard blue cop is Johnny Sins... not really, but white, bald, no barcodes on the back of his head. We finally have a trigger finger... both the policeman and state trooper come with a gun. The hats are non removable, sadly... swat guy comes with a machine gun and a shotgun.



Hopefully a wave 2 of these shows up...
Black normal policeman, different white state trooper, black swat guy. 
Maybe wave 3 could do the crazy thing of adding women and fat cops.

Mattel is fully committed to MOTU

 They're going full steam ahead with a multimedia plan. Including Playsets, books, animated prequel.


Yes, Freaking Playsets... I smell Origins sized figures. Hopefully the playsets are Bi-scale and work for both Origins and Masterverse scales.

What's this Animated Prequel thing?

Fuck if I know! But that worries the shit out of me. Cartoons shouldn't be related to the movies. They can take design cues and visual elements, ie Batman The Animated Series, but they should be their own thing. What if the movie sucks donkey dick?

Most importantly: 

What the fuck are Fashion-first collections?
