A while back I wondered about Super7 and the "Classicizer". There I pondered if Toon based characters could be toon accurate, or if they had to be filtered through "the Classicizer". I used the Punk Frogs as an example back then.
What about Granitor? Is he worthy of a 100% new body or is he stuck being a partially modified Traag repaint?
How about Karai? She could be made starting from a Ninja Newscaster April and Shogun April as a base. I know what you're thinking. Playmates RARELY DOES the MIX-AND-MATCH feature. They simply repaint the whole figure and call it a variant/character. Since now each figure has way more parts than they did back then, I thought we could exploit it how to reuse Key Parts. It kinda keeps the tail of the line excess of odd repaints spirit, but with a bit of ingenuity to make old feel new.
Of course I'm just assuming that true accurate to the source material looks cannot be done for characters who didn't have a vintage toy. True accuracy can be weird because Toy Traag doesn't exactly look like a man made out of stone. We cannot have a highly mismatched pair of Stone Warriors.
One can only wonder as Super7 is keeping their cards too close to their chest. Let's see what happens to waves 3 and 4.
