As far as I know Super7 ISN'T MAKING Venus figures in their TMNT Ultimates line, but if they did, what would thse variants be?
While the Playmates blockade might be a thing that interferes with future variants, since a "vintage-inspired" Venus is for all intents and purposes a "New character", we can mimic Playmates' style since it won't be redoing a Playmates figure, but making a new figure that is visually compatible to Playmates designs.
Right now the only Turtle variants we have to wrok with are:
Disguised Turtles, Music Turtles, Sports Turtles, and Undercover Turtles. GITD Ooze redeco doesn't count.
Sports Turtles variant:
Roller Derby Venus:
Basically Venus in a 90s Taco Bell inspired colors Roller Derby uniform. The front would have the yin yang and a V emblazoned on it, while the back has NTTNM and the number 97 on it. Her boots would look like skates (removable wheels that attach to them.)
Accessories:
Heads:
Venus head with bandana braid made into a bun and wearing a Mouthguard. Removable Goggles can be put on this head.
Head with helmet and mouthguard with an angry/determined expression. The removable goggles can be put on this head as well.
Hands:
The standard set of hands but with fingerless gloves (c-grips, dramatic, fists) adding a hang ten hand and a I am number 1 hand.
Weapons and stuff:
The already mentioned goggles
3 sets of skate wheels: these would plug into the shoe with the peghole and other engineering tricks to connect them to her boots at more points.
-Traditional skates
-Inline skates
-rocket skates whose wheel arrangement is a hybrid of both inline and traditional skates with a pair of small thrusters in the back of the skates.
Wrist guard attachments:
-Since RD Venus fights the Foot and the Foot Soldiers are robots, one of her attachments would be a pair of blades in her forearm bracers used to slice the evil robotic ninja.
-The second set of attachments are small "glider wings" for Venus to slow down after usimg the rocket boots or to improve her jumping distance. Similar function to the parachutes in dragsters. Also they're a nod to her war fan.
-third attachment set would be normal tonfa-like attachment that isn't as lethal as the blade attachments.
Music Turtles Variant:
Idol Venus:
Basically, an 80s Asian singer look for her taking huge cues from Rin Minmei (Lynn Minmay for the Robotech kids)
Accessories:
Heads:
Maskless head with a wig that matches her mask's colors with a yin yang hairpin. Hairstyle should be reminiscent of Minmei.
Singing "normal" Venus head
Hands:
The standard hands:
C-grips, fists, dramatic.
Weapons:
-Kunai Microphone that attaches to a mic stand.
-Hidden jian sword Mic stand. Kunai Mic attaches to this.
-war fan (open and closed)
-2× Vinyl Record Shuriken (nod to Playmates Rocking Leo accessories that aren't on the s7 figure)
Disguised Turtles:
Agent Codename: Venus Turtle
Think Venus in a Sneaking Suit with elements from Solid Snake, Raiden, Snake eyes, and Sam Fisher.
Accessories:
Heads:
Normal Venus head with military styled facepaint
Normal Venus head without facepaint.
Head with a commando mask with elements from both Snake Eyes and Raiden
Hands:
The usual c-grips, fists, dramatic hands.
Gun grip hands
Accessories:
-portable transceiver
-gun with removable silencer
-karambit
-MRE pizza made out of pure sadness.
-(little buddy) Sneaky Weasel. A little anthropomorphic weasel that is a hacker with a labcoat sporting this in the back
私はウィーブーです
It translates to I'm a weaboo. Which is a kinda subtle reference to MGS.
-underwater explosive device... yes, it's the NES TMNT bombs from the Damned dam level.
Just as Astronaut doesn't suit Raph, Tpmboyish Action movie type commando Spy is an odd disguise that doesn't match with Venus.
Yes, the Konami references are nods to Konami's relationship with TMNT.
Originally, I wanted to have Venus looking more like Meryl, but that would've been a bit too on the nose.
I chose a combo of Snake, Raiden, Sam Fisher and Snake Eyes, because the combined looks can create something generic, yet unique. Not to mention that the accessories chosen are not directly tied to a single source.
