FTC: Embracing the weirdness:

 In a previous rant, I mentioned "crazy" characters.

NINJAS:
This one is self explanatory. 
These would require new bodies. Specifically the bare chest and arms.
Ninjas would get wrist overlays in addition to the torso overlay. There's a myriad of color combinations that can be made. White, black, red, blue, green, yellow, etc. Sleeveless and painted sleeves options.
Ninja weapons
2 tonfa
1 ninjato
1 naginata
2 sai
2 nunchaku (string)
1 kusarigama with a kunai at the other end (string)

Kunoichi are far easier to make than men
For the females something similar to this... but obviously with a more conservative top. This can be made with new lower legs and feet and a new torso overlay for the female body. Obviously new heads and masks.
Myriad of colors with heads being the defining difference... sleeved and sleeveless versions would be available.
Kunoichi weapons:
2 war fans
2 sai
2 wakizashi 
1 ninjato
2 tonfa
1 naginata

Specialized Ninja hands:
-Ninja 2 finger pose.
-tekko nagi hands.
-Sai hands

Ninjitsu Armory pack:
2 Ninjato
2 Sai
2 Nunchaku (string)
1 Naginata
1 throwable shuriken effect (plugs into fan accessory left hand)
1 throwable smoke bomb effect
1 throwable kunai effect
1 Ninja Scroll
1 Ninja Substitution Log effect 

Ninja headpack:
Essentially unmasked heads for the Ninja:
Revenant (an undead head)
American (Blond spiky flattop)
80s (Hair similar to 80s Sho Kosugi)
Ponytail (anime inspired long haired ninja with ponytail)
Baldie (Toshishiro Obata inspired head)
Oni (generic ninja with horns)

Kunoichi headpack: 
Headband long (breast length hair tied with headband)
Headband short (similar to Sakura from Naruto)
Ponytail (inspired by the Mido Miko hairstyle above)
Odango (Sailor Moon inspired but with shoulder length tails)
Perm (80s perm hairstyle)
Short (inspired by Yuffie from FFVII)

Western:
This one requires new lower legs, feet, and in some cases new lower arms slip on piece. Blue Referee body and policeman arms do the heavy lifting. The new lower legs and feet are for the cowboy boots. Of course some could get a slip on vest. Others a bandolier with bullets/shells.

For specialized accessories:
Revolvers 
Old school shotguns
The aforementioned bandoliers
Cowboy belt with holster
Plastic Lasso (looped, twirling effect)
String Lasso

Female cowgirls would need new torsos new lower legs (both referee lower legs, fan lower legs) new gunslinger hands. 

Sumo:
This one only requires two dudes.... maybe 4. Most of the body parts would be new...
2 traditional Japanese Suno Wrestlers and 2 American Sumo wrestlers 1 white, 1 black. Yes, they'd all be having the Sumo Hairstyle.

Since we have Sumo Wrestlers, let's make a Fighter line: 

Using the bare torso premade from the Ninja, here we have various fighters from various disciplines.

Say Boxers:
4 of them:
Slim bodies and fat bodies.
The new parts would be the boxing gloves and lower legs with the boots for the fat body. For the slim new shorts and bare legs.

Gi wearing folks:
Karate, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, etc.
The main difference between taekwondo and the japanese arts would be the torso overlay shape.

Muay Thai.
They would reuse from boxers the shorts but get new arm overlays based on Muay Thai.

Wrestlers:
The FTC Original Wrestlers could be made here... both male and female.

That's enough weirdness while keeping it SFW...  No Ash from streets of rage types... no drig dealers or prostitutes...

If more companies made affordable "plays with" lines, I wouldn't have to go down this rabbit hole.
