It came from the Toy Chest: Don't shoot! This woman is not Black!

 The female FTC referee, gray shirt version: I already reviewed the OG female Referee.
There isn't that nuch difference between them, mechanically speaking. 

Articulation:
She has standard Articulation... minus thigh cut.
Also  that means that like her male counterpart she cannot look up or down. Referees need that Marvel Legends neck hinge but the way the FTC figures are built won't allow it.
3.5


Paint and sculpt: 
Here they improved over the OG referee.  New sculpt from the waist up and lools more feminine. Hell, her skintone isn't Black Black... it's more like a Latina mulata tone. 
4.0

Accessories:
9 extra hands:
She doesn't wear gloves... probably will buy a set of white hands and black gloved hands for both referees.
5.0


Overall:
This Mixed Latina Ref gets a 4.17 as her final score. We need now two more female refs.
Classic Referee with new upper torso to add a bow tie and the repaint of the first referee in Dark blue.

Building one Miniverse Playset made me think

Mattel could do something similar for TMNT.

They're like $20 and a bit bare bones... but modular.

Here it is with my Pizzaface Jr. I'm looking to get a second one to put  side to side and make a custom foam board roof... but we're not here to talk Miniverse... we're here to do Mattel TMNT. Picture something similar in true 6.5" scale. Hard plastic holey walls base and support structure for a top. Can we say Modular Sewer expansions, Channel 6 expansions, Technodrome rooms. These dioramas would be aimed for the adult collector, but making them compatible with kid core, is a great idea.

I need a second set so I can make it dirty manually.

They could copy some Jakks WWF elements such as this one that Figures Toy company has. 
 

Or if they wanna go beyond cheap that's what they could do cardboard with plastic frame and tons of accessories. Personally I prefer if they went plastic and modular.
