TMNT Ultimates wave 7 rumors

 The re-releases of the 4 Turtles are on the Ocean. Wave 5 is on first samples received... This worries me since at the time BOTH Wave 5 and the Rereleases were made available and I ordered Ray Fillet with the rereleases. They were supposed to come out at the same time. 

But that's not the important thing. Allegedly, B-Flynn has been doing virtual interviews and Wave 7 might be put online in early March. This wave might be another 5 figure wave and 1 figure is a NON-TURTLE Variant.

We can discard Space Usagi. It makes no sense to make this variant before we got standard Usagi.

 Rock-N-Roll Mondo Gecko COULD be a possibility highly unlikely but still a possibility.

Who else has variants?

-Bebop and Rocksteady:

Wacky action, Mutations, Robotic,Mutant Military... just to mention a few.

-Splinter:

Wacky action, Mutations, Movie, Shogun...

-April:

Mutations, Ravishing Reporter, II, Ninja Newscaster, Movie 3, Shogun...

-Foot Soldier:

Mutations, Movie star, Robotic

-Krang:

Android body 

-Shredder:

Toon, Shogun, Metal Mutant, Super Mutants, Big Daddy Diesel, Mutations... etc.

There are far too many choices for variant figures.

So we have 5 figures 2 variants... Who could they be? I have no clue, but I'll try to make some guesses.

Turtle variants is either Don, the Undercover Turtle,(New Torso with plastic Coat, new arms) not to be confused with the eventual BBTS Exclusive Undercover Don (normal Don, cloth trenchcoat), or Raph the Space Cadet.

We finished 1 out of 5... unless they throw us a curveball and release a Donatello or Raphael variant from a different wave.

The other 3 figures are a "Mystery". 

Heroic Characters I could go for:

Genghis Frog:

Genghis could be one that could get reuse as a repaint for Attila or Rasputin.

Mona Lisa:

Since she's both Vintage and Cartoon, this could put Super7 ahead of NECA since most of Super7's releases have had a NECA counterpart released or at least announced before S7 managed to set up a preorder.

Irma:

There is a Huge demand for Irma. Just look at how people are selling their Channel 6 sets from NECA WHILE KEEPING IRMA.

Tattoo:

He would be an interesting choice. The tattoo stickers would be the only downside.

Wyrm:

Another interesting choice with a peculiar leg that would require Special articulation. 

Baaaaaad Guys are a different story:

There are way too many choices as well. So let me pick a few:

Pizzaface:

I've been not so subtly campaigning for him to be made, because of him being one of my Childhood figures. 

Chrome Dome:

NECA Showed that a Non-Chromed Chrome Dome can be doable. What we'll get is a Metallic white figure. Not to be confused with Silver, which is more of a metallic light gray. 

Rat King:

He's high on my list because of TMNT: TiT... I also had him as a kid. 

Groundchuck or Dirtbag:

Since these two are a pair like Rocksteady and Bebop, I'm mentioning them together. They would be interchangeable for the slot because the sooner we get one, the sooner we get the other. Out of the two I find Groundchuck the most interesting figure.

Tokka and Rahzar:

The same thing I mentioned with Groundchuck and Dirtbag applies here. Tokka would be a Slash Repaint with new head and hands, so Rahzar's the most interesting figure of the two.

Now for The Non-Turtle variant figure:

Super Lazy variants:

Newsvan April, Orange April repaint, Toon Shredder, robotic Foot Soldier:

These three would be LITERAL REPAINTS... Newsvan April doesn't even have accessories... so a single carded release could reuse the normal accessories from April in a different color. At least the Orange April has a new head.

Toon Shredder only has a TV as his "New thing".

Any of these could be a cost saving measure.

The Foot Soldier is literally a metallic paint job with no changes in accessories.

Somewhat lazy variants:

Movie Star Splinter, Movie 3 Splinter, wacky action Bebop and Rocksteady, 

The Splinter variants are a different kimono, new head and flocked body and different accessories.

Bebop and Rocksteady are new heads and a couple new accessories.

The Big Ones:

Of course I'm talking about Big Daddy Diesel Shredder and Krang's Android body.

and

One of these two are the most likely candidates for that fifth spot... Personally, I'd rather have a $65 Super Shredder right now than an $85 Krang's Android body in a 5 figure wave.

Based on how Mon*Star scales to other figures, Krang's Android body is most likely to share the same size and pricetag.

Of course Super7 can still throw us a curveball and make something like:

Movie star Foot Soldier, Shogun Shredder, Private Porknose Bebop

We'll find out in less than a month...
