Don the Undercover Turtle: a Rant

 For some Reason, Super7 has been avoiding one of my favorite Childhood variants from TMNT: Don The Undercover Turtle. Not to be confused with Undercover Don from 1994, which is part of the wave that has BBTS's exclusive Undercover Raphael. 

First of all both have Different Accessories.

The obvious difference between both figures is the trenchcoats. On Don the Undercover Turtle, the coat is plastic and sculpted over his shell. On Undercover Donatello, the coat is soft goods.

Now, with that said, we NEED Don the Undercover Turtle as a normal release between waves 13-16. The reason I suggest him so far away is because we have to go through a second variant of Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo. Now back to Don the Undercover Turtle:

He's basically a new torso, 1 "soft plastic belt and lower coat overlay", shoulders, biceps, and forearms. The Epaulets on the coat could be cleverly sculpted using the shoulder disc as the epaulet with the shoulder having the end of the Epaulet sculpted as the same width of the disc. 

Everything else is already made: vanilla legs, hands and heads from Undercover Raph complete the body.

For accessories, a modified gun from UCRaph gives us the joke pistol for Don. The mask will most likely end up as an alternate head like Sewer Samurai Leo. They could sculpt a new Pizza slice or recycle an old one. The Briefcase would be new. That would be it for the vintage toy accessories... personally, I feel something is missing: a Bo staff... but how can we give him one?

Collapsible stun batons that combine into a Bo Staff...

I didn't know they were a real thing. I knew of collapsible stun batons that work like escrima sticks, but thanks to this video now I know that collapsible bo staffs exist. If they want to be Extra special, they could make the sculpted dagger on the vintage figure be a removable accessory on this one.

While Technically, they could take Undercover Don, which would be a redeco of Undercover Raphael with Donatello belt and colors with:

New Zack Morris phone, new gun, new Laptop, reused staffs, reused glasses from Sewer Surfing Mike, reused communicator, new masked head, new briefcase, and new joke gun. It would kill 2 figures in one blow, but to me it would feel like a cheap cop-out. I want the 4 1991 Disguised Turtles wave over the 1994 Undercover Turtles wave...
