I was an asshole to kebab Girl after she spoke to Zack's parents. The game didn't let me tell then that I abandoned Zack's corpse after he made a Swiss Cheese impression in a meeting with ShinRa.

I actually didn't hate Chocobo Racing here, but still I'm derpived of weirdo beyond spinster crazy chocobo lady to a weird crazy chocobo teenage girl who wants to jump on Cloud's Buster Sword... Also, I don't think I commented this, but they gave Chole a bit of an aging spell and a glow up. In the OG she looked like Marlene's age, now she looks like she may have gotten a pair of periods under her belt and is waiting for her parents to take her to church. Hell, even Choco Billy got an age up.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So, the whole Barret/Dyne thing was radically changed and the game gave Dyne a dramatic hero death... then we fight Palmer.

The Proto-Turtles are a Target exclusive! The "Remastered" Turtles are a Wal-Mart exclusive. The Articulation isn't THAT advanced. Seems to be exactly the same as their <a href="https://neftyshouseofrants.blogspot.com/2020/12/it-came-from-toy-chest-playmates-lazy.html?m=1">previous comic book turtles</a>... but new vintage styled sculpting. This is an obvious move by Playmates to copy Mattel's Oranges line.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It can also be used as a move to cockblock Super7 from the vintage characters in Ultimates... thank goodness there's "other media" like Shredder's Revenge for them to pull off some vintage folks. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here's my prediction: The Turtles will look great... despite the limited articulation. Where they WILL drop the ball is when they reach Splinter, Shredder, Foot Soldier, April, Bebop, and Rocksteady.

Ine hours in and NOW I think I'm ready for the Midgarsormr, who unlike the Midgar Zolom is an obligatory boss battle.</p><p>9 hours = Nibelheim flashback, Kalm, Chocobo farm. OG game, Less than two hours. Now here's the weird part... the filler isn't THAT bad. Sure it's not "original" missions are mostly go from a to b to kill a monster and return. Random mini game with clumsy mechanics. The interesting part comes from expanded lore and areas. I have to admit, Kalm was an amazing experience and finding these places like the windmill settlement, Oliver's farm and even Chocobo Bill's farm.</p><p>But at the same time foraging, hunting random fiends feels very XV-like...</p><p>I killed the Midgarsormr... first try too! Unlike OG Midgar Zolom who violently raped me way too many times. I hate how they handled the Sephiroth killing the Zolom here. </p><p>The start of the game was the only part with a little bit of Kingdom Hearts bullshit, but aside making me cry like an idiot, it was enjoyable. The rest of the game so far, has been 98% Kingdom Hearts bullshit free. An improvement over The Whispers from remake. I just know that Team No-No will fuck up. Probably around the Infiltrating Upper Junon area.</p><p>With all that said, I'm enjoying the game.

Well now I'm back and the idea is to take it ABOVE ground and make it for TMNT Ultimates but allowing options to make it usable with non-TMNT stuff. The idea is to release throughout the years 3 sets that combine to create a street that can fit lots of figures and about 4 vehicles in the 1:10 to 1:12 scale (ie Party Wagon by Super7 and The Slambulance and 2 Slam Mobiles by Mattel). If you buy multiples you could make a longer street and even have a corner to turn.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Despite aiming for a lower price than the regular Super7 playsets, this would have to be crowfunded and it would have Tiered rewards. The following are the Tiered rewards for the first set:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 1: </b></div><div style="text-align: left;">-Alternate Signage without TMNT References. Instead of Ninja Pizza, you get a normal Pizzeria or a Diner sign. The droppable StockGen signs are replaced with generic signs, etc.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Alternate Sewer covers. Instead of the standard closed sewer lids you get 2 alternate slightly opened lids where you can barely see a bit of a Turtle or a Foot Soldier peeking out the manhole to see if the coast is clear.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 2:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">-Exclusive Civilian Figure. Inspired by the infamous <a href="https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Skateboarder">Skateboarder girl from TMNT Arcade game</a>, but not the actual character. The girl should be wearing an orange Mummy Boy shirt, a black leather jacket, cargo pants, and Chuck Taylor-esque shoes with a black and orange 80s Nickelodeon logo Skateboard. Standard hands normal and screaming head. Best part is that while TMNT inspired, she can work with other ultimates lines as a random civilian in danger. (MMPR/GI Joe)</div><div style="text-align: left;">-TMNT Weapon effects</div><div style="text-align: left;">Slash effects for Leonardo's swords, hands with twirling effect sais for Raphael, twirling nunchaku for Michelangelo, and twirling staff for Donatello.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 3:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">-Roadkill Rodney trio. 3 Roadkill Rodneys with the drilling out the ground effect, laser blast effeft, and whip arm accessories.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Transport module (elevator style) drill tip popping out effect.</div><div style="text-align: left;">For the moment a full Transport Module (elevator style) is not on the books but having the drill tip and breaking ground effects can spice up the display.</div><div style="text-align: left;">- Civilian child figure. Yes, he's supposed to be Chet Manley aka the kid who dropped the turtles. Just a kid in a hoodie and jeans. For accessories an extra set of hands (aside the c-grips) a fishbowl with 4 turtles.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now if not all tiers get made, for example, this playset only reaches Tier 1, the next playset's tier 1 will be the previous Tier 2 and so forth. Of course, this shouldn't be revealed to customers.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">But I haven't talked about the playset itself:</div><div style="text-align: left;">Each set should be roughly 48 inches long. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Since each set is "modular" you could have it as short as 34 inches or much longer depending on the configuration. The tallest point of the playset would be about 30 inches (In set 1, the top of the rooftop access to April's apartment) </div><div style="text-align: left;">Set 1: Pizza at April's</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">April's Apartment/2nd time around building would be roughly 20 inches long. Ninja Pizza would be about half of that. What would Ninja Pizza offer in play value? </div><div style="text-align: left;">Ninja Pizza sign atop the Ninja Pizza building has a collapsible feature that allows the plastic sign to be knocked off the building as a nod to the beat-em up games.</div><div style="text-align: left;">The front of the Ninja Pizza building has a functional door. Next to the door an interchangeable glass window (breakable and non breakable)</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Inside you have a small table and chair, a counter with spring-loaded pizza oven that shoots pizzas (through the glass of the building)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Also a falling fluorescent strip light fixture.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The 2nd Time Around building is a two storey building with a rooftop fire access. The top floor is heavily inspired by the arcade game. A ball can be dropped from the fire escape as a nod to the rolling balls from the game. Removable fire effects can be put on the inside display as a nod to the game. The window on April's apartment can be popped off as a nod to the game. Optionally, if you don't want to use that window, a falling StockGen sign can be used.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The first floor is an antique shop. The idea is to have random items to use as weapons/props like the 1990 movie did</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fM8yzQ9FwBA" width="320" youtube-src-id="fM8yzQ9FwBA"></iframe></div><br />That's pretty much set 1 in a halfshell. But i mentioned 3 sets:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Set 2: Purple Dragon Turf.</div><div style="text-align: left;">This would be a pair of buildings. Both about two storeys high. One of the buildings is a Pub where the Purple Dragons hang out. It comes with a functioning pool table, cue sticks, a bar with couple of alcohol bottles (intact and broken) jar of pickeld eggs, collapsible TV.</div><div style="text-align: left;">On the floor above the pub, there's a functional window with working fire escape ladder that descends to the first floor on the outside. A piece of floor that acts as a "breakaway trapdoor" causing a figure to fall into the Pub. Breakaway crates and additional random gang styled weapons would be included. The rooftop has an access door that can have a wire from building 1 to building 2 for figures to cross. Optionally it could connect to set 1's Ninja pizza and be used as a zip line.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Building 2 </div><div style="text-align: left;">The second floor has a collapsible fire escape that drops a character on a dumpster (can be filled with slime if you're into that.) </div><div style="text-align: left;">The second floor is Casey's Apartment. </div><div style="text-align: left;">Sofa bed couch, TV, Punching bag, extra sports equipment for Casey.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The first Floor is the lobby. It has a soda firing vending machine with various soda cans, Mouser breakaway holes. The lobby also has another feature. You know how if you step on some planks in the pirate ship level of TMNT TIT the planks hit you? Well, that.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now assuming all Previous Tier rewards were hit, Here's the Tiers for Set 2:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 1:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Casey and Shadow Jones:</div><div style="text-align: left;">-This is a "new" Casey figure (new parts being Torso without his shoulder padand unmasked head)</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Shadow would be Thunderkitten sized</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'd base her look on the punk kid look from Mirage and an alternate blonde head.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 2:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Street Additional deco pack:</div><div style="text-align: left;">-80s Phonebooth big enough to fit a MOTUC</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Subway entrance</div><div style="text-align: left;">-collapsible trashcans</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Alternate Non-TMNT Signage.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Newspaper vending Machine</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 3:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">- Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird figures.</div><div style="text-align: left;">80s Playmates inspired style versions of Estman and Laird for Ultimates. Can be used as random civilians on other displays and the Ultimate Easter egg for TMNT displays. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Set 3: Warehouse showdown:</div><div style="text-align: left;">This one is a single building. It will be mostly hollow depending on I-Beams and rafters for support and to have ninjas sneak into a warehouse or chop shop. The building should be close to 2 stories high and big enough to house the Party Wagon and have some additional display space. Using WWE Wrekkin vehicles you could make a chop shop as an alternative display. A few breakaway crates and some mechanic's tool carts maybe a modular pulley system and various oil drums</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 1:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Chop shop expansion:</div><div style="text-align: left;">-hydraulic lift</div><div style="text-align: left;">-random spare car parts</div><div style="text-align: left;">-engine block to be used with the pulley system (and function as a wrecking ball)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 2:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Warehouse expansion:</div><div style="text-align: left;">-More crates with crowbars to open them.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-breakaway antiques.</div><div style="text-align: left;">-smuggled weapons, furs, ivory, and other restricted items (Not drugs)</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Mystic artifacts from various TMNT Sources</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Tier 3:</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>-</b>Mr. Null.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Whether it's a warehouse or a chop shop, Null profits from the evil-doing happening there.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Eventually I'd like to tackle things like Channel 6, TCRI building, etc. </div>Neftyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11076491811170083524noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2378293000024191849.post-49590232103754880032024-03-07T12:14:00.003-04:002024-03-07T12:14:00.143-04:00I want a remake of Final Fantasy VI, but NOT like FFVII Remake...<div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><b>W</b></i></span>hat does that even mean? <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/01/dont-expect-a-remake-of-final-fantasy-6-soon-if-ever">According to Square-Enix, a remake of VI would take double the time of VII</a>, if made like FFVIIR. So, I don't want a remake like that. I want something closer to a remaster...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm talking building the game in 3D with prerendered backgrounds like 7,8, and 9 and have the characters with graphics similar to the HD remasters of 8 and 9, but for FFVI. Add tons of FMVs. For example, Celes singing would be an FMV. Personally I would add one for the end of the Ghost Train battle, where our boy Sabin/Mash suplexes the Ghost Train. They already have the cutscenes from FF Anthology as a starting reference. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The idea is to deliver a "What if Final Fantasy VI had been released in 2002" and save the Kingdom Hearts Bullshit styled remakes for games that deserve it (FINAL FANTASY VIII I HAVE MY EYES ON YOU...) </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Everything before 7 should be remade in the style of OG 7,8,9 Remasters but with added cutscenes like Anthology. To be honest, only 8 deserves the Nomura remake treatment. Especially since a lot of stuff was left on the cutting floor.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Also, I bought FFVII Rebirth online but it hasn't arrived.

But my only complaint about the sculpt is that Super7 amputated 2 of his arms. The vintage toy has two shriveled bug arms sculpted on his abdomen.

The main differences would be wanting the plastron to look like plastron instead of a nippleless male fat body. I want them to be wearing standard belts without buckles, but each belt is colored like the bandanas. Removable mawashi in bandana colors, soft goods yukata, with the Turtle colors. Removable geta sandals. Chanko Pizza ( whole pizza with the ingredients for Chanko as toppings.), Chanko stew bowl. Second head without Sumo wigs.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Now for the individual turtles, here's what I'd do:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Larger versions of their distinctive weapons, because Sumo. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>I'm aware of the original line only had two turtles. It just would be weird only getting two and not four. I'm also aware that this wouldn't be a popular pick.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Groundchuck:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>I expect him to be roughly Bebop Sized woth articulated tail (red with green tip). He should look like a hybrid of Playmates and cartoon version. Maybe some changes to differentiate him from other versions is swap the torn scale shirt to a torn shirt with chainmail over it. It creates the same effect as the Playmates toy design, but different.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>The cartoon had the great idea of painting his belt a different color from the furry loincloth. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Slight alterations to the leg armor and cybernetic leg to differentiate from Playmates, like say, have it be slightly more angular while preserving the details.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Different shades of yellow between his bullseyes and the lens on his cyber eye. For his accessories, I'm thinking the Pipe from TMNT 3 Manhattan Project, a taser bullwhip, wrist dart launcher (similar but different to Playmates designs) Foot Clan brand iron (both normal and flaming hot) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Dirtbag:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Personally I feel he should be 7 inches and a bit wider than a MOTUC. I want him as muscular as the vintage toy and not as flabby as the toon version. Perhaps some middle ground to differentiate him from both versions?</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Theoretically speaking He should suffer a departure from vintage in his color pallette. He's supposed to be wearing overalls, but the vintage toy AND toon version have the colors wrong. The overalls are painted like a pair of pants and a separate tanktop. What I would do is have his overalls be the lighter green that his top has, but have his overalls be super dirty, particularly the leg area to create that distinction in color. His removable backpack shows the difference between clean and dirty. Pack should also be very dirty. It should have a loop for the removable spade and 2 clips to hold his dual pick axes (a replacement to the Playmates 4 point Pick Axe) and a Jackhammer. (Nod to the jackhammer gun playmates had) a second head with his miner's lamp "turned on" (GITD white paint) would complete the figure.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>As long as we don't get topless Dirtbag from Manhattan Project... though that COULD be the safest direction for S7.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>These last two are a copy and paste from a past rant. I couldn't add much to that. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Traag:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>This one vexes and troubles me. I DON'T want a Playmates Traag. On the other end of the spectrum, I don't want a pure toon Traag. The <a href="https://neftyshouseofrants.blogspot.com/2021/12/advent-calendar-23-stone-soldiers-from.html?m=1">NECA offering was underwhelming </a> unpopular opinion ahead:</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Have the body shape of Toon Traag but in Playmates colors. I would add Alternate boots. (Reuse this element on Granitor) that way a more vintage accurate Traag can be made, a more battle damaged version with both boots broken or one without any broken boot.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Oversized Footsoldier Weapons minus the Shuriken could be used for him. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Fugitoid:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><a href="https://neftyshouseofrants.blogspot.com/2023/04/super7-fugitoid-rant.html?m=1">I already touched him</a> and mentioned that a GITD Redeco might make him more mirage inspired... but if they make a 2k3 Fugitoid, that will most likely be my canonical fugitoid. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Punk Frogs:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Going by purely vintage, I'm speaking of Napoleon... but this also applies to the missing two. A part of me wants a Horny Toad Napoleon and that the other two end up being different frogs... but a part of me expects Genghis repaints with maybe alternate heads, arms and legs to make up the others. So we have to wait and see.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Chrome Dome:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>After some mental back and forth, I don't want a chromed Chrome Dome. Especially with Super7 factory hopping between waves. I hope he's not NECA HUGE... but I guess he could end up more like the card art.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Pizzaface:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Because fuck you Kyle. Gross and disgusting is a huge draw for this line and toxic crusaders. Pizzaface has to be gross and disgusting.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>We start with the Playmates figure as a starting point. Painted details on the crap and splatters all over his body. The condiments on his back could be removable, as well as the knife on the front of his apron. Painting his cut pinky is important. Painting his apron a grungy white and yellowing our his teeth can help differentiate him from the purely playmates look. Have the hat be removable to reveal the unused prototype head with the conjoined twin. Maybe add the Ninja Pizza logo (heavily faded and stained) to the shirt. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>For his legs, we get the Cleaver, the Pizza Cutter with Pizza box stuck to it, a new Pizza cutter without box. (The one with the box doubles as a shield without copying the vintage shield)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>He gets new nasty pizzas with different toppongs from Playmates and painted realistically.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Channel 6 employees:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>I've gone over them way too much. Right now I just need them to round up my Channel 6 team. Toon Colors is the way to go in order to appease Playmates. Also soft goods on Irma ALL THE WAY. That way Super7 could add alternate skirt, vest and blouse matching the Playmates toy as an extra. Since they're soft goods, they aren't mimicking the Playmates toy. It totally has nothing to do with wanting an Irma that can strip to her underwear as a desperate woman trying to get some Hard Dick. Sure, it would make for a nice ICFTTTC joke, but her baggy clothes would fuck up articulation if they were sculpted. Like it seems that the rumor that the fourhorsemen aren't as involved with Super7 seems to ring true based on recent figure sculpts being badly engineered. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Neutrinos:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Dask is rather easier to adapt without making Playmates angry. First most of his sculpt should be Toy based. I'd give him a slightly more detailed crotch piece so his pants read as pants like in the toon and not leggins like the toy. The leggins that peek under his pants and shirt should be in metallic lavender. The pants should be in flat lavender while the shirt should be in glossy cheez whiz color. The blue stripe and gloves should be gloss blue glossy black completes the shoes. Hair should be 3 tones 2 light blues and 1 dark blue.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>For accessories, reuse the hoverboard from Zak.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Give him a new blaster in addition to the playmates inspired blaster. The jetpack might be problematic. Add a recolor of Zack's turtlecomm.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Kala... oh boy... Toon and toy hybrid for the colors. Basically toy colors from the neck down except the arms. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Accessories, yeah... reusing Playmates stuff would be a big no-no.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span>Reuse the Zak Hoverboard with new decal. Not so sure if she could get her jet shoes. Her space laptop? Maybe... the comb and mirror gun... no thanks. Maybe a Noisy Cricket type of blaster. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><b>Mona Lisa:</b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here I'm going to deviate a little bit:</div><div style="text-align: left;">2 heads: toy inspired vs toon inspired.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Scarves would be swappable:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Vintage toy based</li><li>All new long scarf</li></ul><div>Her back would have a couple of swappable pieces that attach to a trapezoid hole.</div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Vintage pseudo shell</li><li>Toon flat back</li><li>"Modern lizard fin" back</li></ul><div>For accessories, they can go crazy here.

Blazer, blouse, leggins, and skirt. No, it's not for perverted reasons. It's for customization purposes. Hear me out:</div><div>The idea is to have her alternate clothes be inspired by the Playmates toy. Her in box outfit would be something different. I'm going to say a pant suit in yellow with a white blouse... because April. The reasons for soft goods clothing are simple: like I stated with Irma, the idea to allow for a "Playmates inspired tribute outfit" as an option can appease the vintage purists. Also, it allows for a beach variant or something. I just want to avoid Super7 using the OG April body underneath the outfit. This new torso could lend itself for a base for Aska as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Krang's Android body:</div><div>That Super Cyborg Bullshit won't fly with me.
