How could Super7 get some Karate Kid Action?

 NECA got some Karate Kid, Icon heroes got some Karate Kid, Playmates got some Karate Kid via Cobra Kai, Diamond Select has some Karate Kid via Cobra Kai. Pretty much everyone and their mother is doing Karate Kid...

It's a 3 Figure Wave and Done! A great "small line" for Super7 to do. This also allows for a better TMNT Karate Kid crossover than what Playmates did.

NECA made a MEGO Miyagi. No one else is doing a Miyagi... I honestly want a Miyagi more than anything and if he's made for Ultimates, then I can have Splinter and Miyagi reminiscing of Japan and Okinawa respectively. This is the part where I mention that the LatAm dub of Karate Kid had shared VAs with TMNT... Miyagi is Michelangelo and LaRusso is Leonardo.

Also, going with Animated series seems to play to the Fourhorsemen's strengths. Since their cartoon based sculpts tend to fare better than Real Life Sculpts. Not to mention that this doesn't step on everyone else's toes that are doing Karate Kid and Cobra Kai... notice how everyone doing Cobra Kai only focus on Johnny, LaRusso, and Kreese. Sure Playmates made a Miguel, but no Sam, Robbie, Tory, Demetri, Eli/Hawk...

Super7 has done: He-Man, TMNT, Thundercats, GI Joe, and Silverhawks in a compatible scale... it would be cool if we could add Chuck Norris, Karate Kid, Knight Rider, The A-Team, and MacGyver to the mix...

There is one thing that could top this if they made Ultimates of...

... it would be outrageous truly truly outrageous!!
