Making another case for the oddball TMNT mini characters

 Super7 is taking the mini characters and bringing them to life in the Ultimates line to the point that a sculpted oddity on Space Cadet Raph, became its own character. I've mentioned some mini characters that could be added in a previous rant. The reason for this rant is that I was prepping some Advent Calendar stuff and I tackled the Spy Fly that comes with the NECA Mousers. At first I didn't recognize what it was until I took a look from the other side. I didn't recognize it, because they're much bigger in the videogame.

Personally. If Super7 were to add these guys, I'd wish they were a bit bigger than NECA's, but not Videogame scaled. The biggest they could go should be slightly smaller than  the non-mutated turtle from Splinter. 

This is another opportunity for me to push for Roadkill Rodneys. I reviewed the NECA ones already. I still believe that we need Super7 versions of them. Since the "vintage weapons tree" is going the way of the dodo, having some of these little guys being reused on various figures as "added value" could theoretically help S7 when balancing new stuff with old. I mean, they could re-release a Foot Soldier and pair him with a Roadkill Rodney instead of all of his weapons... (maybe give him an existing sword) it's a nice way to refresh army builders and entice Army Building, since a single Roadkill Rodney isn't enough.

Heck... if they play their cards right by sneaking these little guys with other figures, Eventually they could reach the point that they could do a release similar to the Mousers with all the little guys:

-2 Mousers (one clean, one Battle Damaged)

-2 Roadkill Rodneys

-4 Spyflys

-4 Utrom robot walkers (2 dormant mode and 2 active)

-anything else needed or that s7 might consider worthy of adding.

They could call it the Technodrome defense pack.

Hell, the NES Game has some enemies that make tony copies of themselves when you attack them. One kinda looks like a Foot Soldier and the other is the Flaming dude...

The Foot Soldier one is the easiest, since all we need is a 4" mini Foot Soldier and a pair of 2.25" static figurines.

What I'm trying to say is that we don't need to just redo the vintage mini figures, but to use this chance to expand the toyline by starting with somewhat canonical itesm that didn't make it back then.
