A while back, I mentioned an idea for a tribute to Warriors of the Forgotten Sewer WITHOUT Making straight up Warriors of the Forgotten Sewer, because of the whole Playmates cockblocking Super7 rumor.
I mentioned a Berserker Raphael who was basically a homage to Kratos from God of War.
I mentioned that Leo would be a Paladin, Don would be a Wizard, and Mikey the Bard...
So, I'm going to elaborate on those and some supporting characters.
I'll start with Leonardo the Paladin:
He should be HEAVILY inspired by NU52 He-Man and Netflix CG He-Man... Yes, the readoning behind Leonardo being heavily inspired by He-Man is a reference to 200X Prince Adam sounding a lot like Leonardo. Enough Liquid References, let's be serious for a moment.
The reason I chose those 2 versions of He-Man is because their armor is more Paladin like than the Traditional Barbarian He-Man. For accessories I'm going 200X for inspiration: Skeletor's Dual Blades. Paladin Leo should get 2 katanas that can fuse into a sort of broadsword... Axe and shield are the obvious additional accessories.
For heads, one maskless head with long blond locks (Liquid Snake wig to be precise to keep it within Cam Clarke references), second head is a masked head with a Prince Valiant Hairdo.
Mage Don:
Final Fantasy Black Mage is the main inspiration here. I'm thinking basic purple soft goods robe that can be opened. From the waist down Don would be wearing pants and just under the knee fantasy boots. On his bare torso, he'd have 2 bandoliers echoing his TMNT straps, but these have potions and other alchemic elements. His bare arms would have runes painted/tattooed on. For heads, he'd have one with a purple bandana covering his mouth all the way up to his eyes. (With eyeholes to mimic his tmnt mask) the second head would be bare (no mask, no bandana.) Hat should be removable and usable on both heads. He should have a staff (readons: being a mage and Donatello)
Mike the Masked Bard:
One part Medieval Fop, one part Tracksuit Elvis and 1 part Liberace. The idea is to make Mike look Fabulously Medieval. For accessories, he'd have a Lute, 2 flails (as Nunchaku substitute) removable fop hat, 2 heads: one winking and one singing/puckering up for a kiss head. Lute playing hands are obviously needed.
Archmage Splinter:
DnD Archmage being one of the inspirations, the other source, the 2007 Mako Splinter. His outfit would be highly ceremonial and with elements from the Mako Splinter made out of both soft goods and plastic.
For accessories a large staff that looks like a larger version of Splinter's walking stick. The accouterments for Splinter being able to prepare Jasmine tea.
April the Valkyrie:
Basically a Rendition of a classic Valkyrie in April Colors yellow tunic with silver armor with white leather accents. For accessories, a spear, a flaming sword, shield. 2 heads: one with a winged helm. The other without helm.
Casey the squire:
Basically, a Medieval version of Casey Jones:
The outfit would be heavily inspired by the movie version, add a fantasy styled pauldron, gauntlets, and shoes. For the mask, it's obvious that an iron mask with elements reminiscent of the familiar Casey Jones Hockey mask.
For accessories, he has 2 blackjacks, a club, a hoe, and a bag of holding reminiscent of Casey's golf bag. A second unmasked head and we're done.
Dungeon Master Shredder:
Basically Shredder as an evil knight.
Mimic Krang:
Basically Krang in a Bubble walker that looks like a Treasure chest.
Foot Bandit:
With a few tweaks, mainly head and forearms, the existing Foot Soldier could be turned into a generic masked bandit. Like swapping the head for a burlap sack mask no turtleshell forearm cover on them, add random villager tools as weapons (pitchfork, hoe, torches, sickles)
Brigand Bebop:
Eh, you could combine elements from Bebop's outfit and Shrek's. Instead of glasses, Bebop would have a bandana covering his eyes.
Pirate Rocksteady:
Indirect nod to Turtles in time, but I was looking for a class more likely to have a Giant humanoid Rhinoceros that can use a cannon like a blunderbuss. The saber would substitute Rocksteady's knife.
Anthrax:
He already looks like an Executioner. He fits in seamlessly.
Golem Traag:
He wouldn't be that different from normal Traag, just some runes painted on his body and wearing a more medieval outfit.
There you have it 14 figures that could fit on a Tabletop Fantasy take for TMNT.
