There have been some rumors about Super7 havong a TMNT item for SDCC. I don't know how true these rumors are, BUT the most locigal answer is some ReAction figure multipack. But let's pretend that the SDCC item is an Ultimates figure. What COULD they do?
Honestly, I don't expect a new character. A redeco of an existing character is the most logical answer.
A GITD redeco would be the laziest solution. So I wont go into details here, although the best candidate of the preexisting 6 waves right now is MOUSERS 5 pack.
Alternative Source repaints are an easy option.
These figures will have no new sculpts and use preexisting parts.
Here are a few examples:
-Toon Rocksteady being the exact same figure we got but in cartoon colors. His knife would be painted brown as his wooden blade, everything else would be the same.
-Mirage April would be the same April we got in wave 3 but her jumpsuit would be blue and her boots brown. The toy head would be reddish brown similar to the "toon head". For accessories she gets 3 mousers (2 pristine and 1 beaten up), the mouser controller,
-"2012" 80s styled Bebop is a play on Playmates "1980s" Bebop in 2012 style. Same Bebop sculpt we got but in 2012 colors... basically everything black but with some "tron-like" purple lines.
Now I'm going to propose redecos that require new weapons/accessories. The figure is a repaint but they require a new accessory or 2.
For example:
Metalhead variants of Leonardo, Raphael, or Donatello would require a new weapon.
In Leonardo's case, a Beam sword that he can grip normally and a "megabuster" type blade... (yes, it's a Mega Man reference).
For Donatello, a techno Bo-staf/stun rod that splits in two., and a "Megabuster" (because a robotic Donatello would totally use an arm cannon weapon)
For Raphael a pair of fists with a pair of Data Spikes that he uses offensively maybe reuse the space Cadet Raph Sais as an extra.
While Wave 7 is getting canceled variant of vintage Shredder, SDCC could have a different variant of Shredder too.
Mirage red or 1987 toon colors are obvious variants. We could also have a Purple and black outfit with silver blades in anticipation of Super Shredder.
Or it could be just Foot Soldier with different accessories... because a brand new non-variant character would be...
But IF they're making anything I'm betting that it is some ReAction BS.
