TMNT and Vehicles: A Mattel Rant

 I truly hope we get some for the "adult collector Chronicle/WWE scale" line. That way those of us who have slambulances, lucha low riders, slammobiles and slamcycles can still use them. Also, I wonder if havig the Master License allows Mattel access to work done by Playmates under contract to Mirage...

Turtle Van/Party Wagon:
Let us start with the obvious one: The van.
I mean it's a yelpow and green van... add some play features and call it a day.

Villain vehicle:
Depending on what they're going here, they have plenty of stuff to choose from. While I'd like a Foot Cruiser-like vehicle, I'd be open for something different. Like a Rocksteady themed Jeep styled vehicle. A Bebop SUV... not the Toitle Tenderizer...

Casey Vehicle:
The options are limited: Realistically, a Bike for Vigilante mode Casey and a Beater pick-up Truck for non-vigilante Casey.
Or if Mattel wants to be fancy, give him an older muscle car.

April Vehicle:
Here, the options depend on which direction they go with their continuity. Whether it's a News van for the Fred Wolfverse inspired, or a normal vehicle for other continuities, it's up to them.

Cheapskates:
These should be sold at a cheaper price, maybe pack them with character specific accessory packs.

If we are getting Fred Wolfverse characters, then:

Footski:
Mainly because Rat King.

Transport Module:
Both modes: 
The smaller Elevator kind and the larger tank kind.

Look at the old games for ideas... and even MOTU/Max Steel and other Mattel lines to copy...







Kojima has been given the Boot by Sony

 They seem to be loving taking L after L.


XBOX is now partners with Kojima to bring Physint to life... 


As much as I have gripes regarding Kojima and his ego, having a new Metal Gear styled game is printing money. I'm guessing this is payback for Kojima defending physical media.

I fear that post 2028 might mean I end up getting an XboX...
