TMNT Accessory packs: Don't sleep on this Mattel...

 Let's be honest here. Mattel is stingy with accessories. So, accessory packs are the solution:

They used to do them with He-Man, WWE, Big Jim, Barbie... you get the idea. Well they still do with Barbie. So... 

Accessory packs. We can start with the obvious stuff:

Generic ninja weaponry that can be used by turtles and foot.

Recolors of the Turtle weapons. That's 7 easy items. Add multiple kunai and shuriken. Now we have 15 items for the most basic pack.

We can have a Pizza pack with various pizza slices that form whole pizzas, whole pizzas, half pizzas, various pizza boxes (made of plastic or cardboard) bitten slices. (Obviously for Mikey)

Junk-tech pack: 

Basically gimmicky gadgets and weapons made by Donatello. Spare Turtle communicators would be here. The Cheapskate (not the gigantic Playmates abomination, but a normal sized skateboard with a small engine)

4 sets minimum per customer guaranteed purchase just to have cheapskates for the 4 turtles.

Foot Armory:

If they go with the robotic foot soldiers, the earlier generic ninja weapons pack helps, but this gives us extra weapons from Dimension X  to use. Generic blasters, high tech ninja weapons to distinguish the foot from the turtles weaponry... evil communicators... etc. 

Mousers:

Playmates did it, NECA did it, Super7 did it...

It's obvious... also Roadkill Rodneys are a popular pack idea.

There are plenty of packs that can be made, like a premutation animal pack with said animals and ooze. A sewer marauder pack including stuff for Rat King (namely rats) and other sewer dwellers like Muckman...  the point is that Mattwl should look into it.

It came from the toy chest: Yo Joe!

 

This is why...

He'll fight for freedom wherever there's trouble, GI Joe is there! GI Joe! A real American hero, GI Joe is there! It's GI Joe against Cobra and Destro, fighting to save the day! He never gives up. He's always there, fighting for freedom over land and air. Wait did I just began singing the GI Joe theme?

Well, it's Super7's Ultimates Duke.

Now you know...
And knowing is half the battle.

Articulation:

If you've had older Ultimates, this has the same articulation.

There isn't much to write about other than it's functional, but not $55 functional when classified are so much better. I bought him for customizing fodder. He was like $20...

4.0

Over and out...

Paint and sculpt:

He looks like Sunbow Duke... the cartoon colors are vibrant. I've no complaints here.

5.0

All decked out... toy style plus radio.

Accessories:

Here we have a ton of stuff.

2 extra heads

Watch (careful when swapping the right hand)

6 extra hands

Cartoon rifle

Walkie-talkie 

Toy rifle

Toy backpack

Toy binoculars

Toy helmet

The reason I mention toy before some stuff, because the stuff. Comes from the ye olde Hasbro toy. 

5.0

Is that Lady Jaye? No...
Whew! For a moment there I thought Flint would have my ass...
Scarlett (VO): Aren't you forgetting about someone? You are gonna wish you didn't wake up from your coma...

Overall:

It's a shame the line died before Shipwreck... I've had issues mostly with Lady Jaye... but Duke is one of the better figures from the line. So Duke gets a 4.67 as his final score.
