Creating random TMNT characters

 Before I start, this is in no way, shape, or form, a wishlist for brand new characters. This is something thatwas cooking up on its own when I made some TMNT related lists. While attempting to pseudo deplaymatesize vintage characters. Some of the characters seemed so out there that need some sort of "enemy" to function.

For example, Sandstorm has this Camel dressed as a Middle Eastern Swashbuckler type of character. For his "enemy" I thought a Sphinx Cat character with a Pharaoh/Mummy motif. I know Sandstorm had some Egyptian motif for his concept. So, here's an idea for a Sphinx  Cat enemy for Sandstorm:

Neferkitty:

The name is a portmanteau of Nefertiti and Kitty. Yes, I DID think of it when I started giggling at Nefertiti's name. Brain kept hearing Nefertitty. Now I chose the Sphinx Cat because of the name and their old looking appearance...

The figure herself would be mostly covered in bandages on her head, Of she were made in the 80s she'd be wearing an oversized Nemes to hide her action feature. Think Double Trouble. I know that most female Pharaohs wore a different hat, but this is late 80s toy style and I need to hide another face in there. She'd have a neck collar (usekh) that would inject some color to the figure and add the Ankh symbol on her. Some sort of tunic top because despite her being wrapped in bandages, the fact that they're kind of skintight would imply nudity and mammals have nipples. So to appease potential 80s Karens about Neferkitty showing her Nefertitties. Yes, I'm going to milk that joke like a... moving on! She'd have a removable pharaoh belt with a piece that drapes over her crotch despite her tunic wrapping around like a one piece swimsuit. Shed have some gold bracers with color elements pulled from her vintage accessories and her Usekh. Think Vintage MOTU level of detail. For her feet some fancy gold sandals.

For accessories an ankh staff, Kopesh, Ooze filled canopic jars. In the vintage line, all four jars would've been sculpted together. Then a little sphinx cat buddy dressed like a baby pharaoh with fake beard and everything.

She'd be a villain, revived and mutated when Rocksteady and Bebop tried tonget rid of some ooze that a sphinx cat had licked. They dumped it in some canopic jars, which revived and mutated the organs of an unknown Mummy. Mutated into a humanoid Cat, she took the name Neferkitty. Taking the Sphinx cat that mutated into a humanoid baby now named Ankhenkatem, she needs to suck the Ooze put of mutants in order to retain her youth and be able to protect her baby, the future Ruler of the world, Ankhenkatem. 

Now if she were made for ultimates, which I'm not saying any of these character ideas should be made. But for the sake of the exercise, I'll adapt them to Ultimates, which is the goal.

Lose the oversized Nemes, since no action feature here. She'd get two heads. Young and old version. Old version has red eyes and wrinkly Sphinx Cat skin, while young lools, well young and a bit less cat-like. OK I lied. She gets 2 necks: one for the normal heads and the second neck with an action feature head (see MOTUC Double Mischief.)

The canopic jars from vintage would be separate.

The rest of the accessories would be multicolored versions instead of the neon pink weapons from "vintage".

And no, this isn't an Animal Crossing reference.

Funguy:

By the name you can deduce he's mushroom based. He is also a clown. Wisually I'm thinking creepy clown makeup on an alien face. Hair shaped like a mushroom cap with actual mushrooms acting as the mushroom spots. He

Is body should be kinda mushroom shaped. His arms should be long with 3 mushroom fingers.

Action feature would be similar to kenner's old lightsabers but with an elongating mushroom finger.

For accessories he has a Toad-stool. A literal barstool he uses to sit, as a weapon, or to aim his spore blaster. He gets a spore blaster based on vintage fumigation pump. A Mushroom shaped meringue pie. It's just a meringue pie with mushroom spots that has a weird handle due to the figure's sculpting...

Super7's process to make him an Ultimates figure, would give him 3 heads (they share the Mushroom cap shaped wig) 3 expressions: the vintage grin, a new angry face, a maniacal laughong head. He would get standard articulation and be able to properly sit on the Toad-stool and properly use the fumigation blaster. The extending finger can be improved to extending FINGERS and for both hands. The pie would get a removable vintage handle since the new hands allow for it being normal. Yes, this is a Wingnut villain. The concept started as a Mr. Freeze inspired  character that evolved into a Harley Quinn due to the name.

Paw and Order:

It's a K9 officer. Basically a police dog turned into an anthro dog. As an officer of the law, his uniform should be spotless. Due to his lower paws being more dog-like he doesn't wear regulation footwear. He's a German Shepherd. 

For accessories, he has:

Police Belt with holster for his gun and baton

Gun (reuse revolver from US Raph)

Baton shaped like a bone, a Boneton

Officer H. Amster, a little buddy (female) Hamster ready to shoot a perp.

Turning him into an ultimates figure would give him 2 extra heads aside the "vintage" slightly opened mouth so he can chew his boneton. The extra heads would be growling and "good boy" heads. The regulation belt won't be removable,  the gun and officer H. Amster would get color. He'd get a riot shield aamd a removable bulletproof vest and reuse Leatherhead's shotgun.

Obviously, he's meant to go against Scratch due to the cops and robbers dynamic. He's also a not. So subtle nod to Police Academy. Officer H.Amster is a reference to Hooks while Paw and Order is a mix of Tackleberry and Hightower.

Komrade Mivied:

It's a Spetsnatz Brown Bear. He has the striped tank top from Russian Military, a removable blue beret, arctic camo pants and boots. His boots are torn due to his bear feet being too big for them. The bear has a flat top like Ivan Drago. 

For accessories he has an AK-47 styled machine gun, Mossin Nagant styled Sniper Rifle, a Makarov inspired gun, Honey rations, and an oversized ballistic knife with flick firing action. 

For the transformation to an Ultimates figure, he's getting a second head which is slightly more modern and has a scar over his left eye, now all white due to the wound. He still sports the flat top to hold the beret or the new Ushanka. He gets the standard hands, redos of his vintage accessories in realistic colors, 3 new to scale realistic ballistic knives. (Normal knife mode, firing the ballistic blade, deployed blade... he also gets a pair of hands with the empty handle sculpted into it. The handle has a hole to plug in the blade.) These are a replacement to the vintage flick firing ballistic knife.

He's meant to be Guerilla Gorilla's enemy... Sgt.Bananas on the vintage line. 80s, Cold War, you get the idea... and no, he isn't a Metal Gear Solid reference. Oleg Miviedski was a Spetsnatz Operative who fought a brown bear who went on a Retromutagen Ooze filled rampage. (Yes, it's a nod to the Cocainum Bear). After besting the creature (he killed it, but we can't put that on a kid's toy.) his open wounds allowed for the Ooze and bear blood to enter his system, transforming him. Now this bear ain't Pooh and the one thint he craves more than Honey is Turtle Soup. Add some bear puns like he survives the unbearable Siberian Weather.

Watchdog:

A Doberman Pinscher Bouncer/Vigilante: Think Final Fight/Double Dragon/Streets of Rage type of character combined with Elements of Mr.T. 

Visually he's an anthropomorphic Doberman wearing a tight fitting red T-shirt, sporting LOTS of chains that he takes as trophies from people who were up to no good until he made them see the error of their ways with a beating. Torn blue jeans and extremely clean white sneakers. Despite having his hands taped, he sports rings on each finger spelling JUSTICE! (Reversed on his hands in order to have the word properly spelled out on the suckers he beats up)

For accessories he has:

Half eaten Dumpster hotdog

Punishing pipe

Better yourself bat 

For the Ultimates version, he gets a few changes. He gets removable chains, a new removable jean vest, a pair of extra fist hands with rings that spell out HERO HOUR on the criminal's body. An alternate head with a swollen cheek, a black eye and some other bruises. Removable sunglasses. His old accessories now in color  he also gets dumpster ribs.

The dumpster food is a nod to beat-em up games, which you know I love since the Nick R. Cade character Idea that evolved into the Nefty-kun for TMNTU is meant to have them. The other two accessories I left pipe and the baseball bat are nods to these type of games too.

The Bling is the obvious Mr T reference, and he's like the "Ultimate Bouncer". 

The idea behind the character is that he's a mid-20s guy from Harlem (Tyrone Braun) that acts as a community organizer by day and a Bouncer by night. Worried about the rising crimes in Harlem after the Turtles' activities in lower Manhattan pushed many petty criminals up north, he began a Watchdog initiative on his neighborhood. One night after taking an injured Doberman to a veterinarian, The Turtles were on the Party Wagon chasing Rocksteady and Bebop who were riding the Toitle Tenderizer. An ooze vial fell from the Tenderizer and hit Tyrone, who mutated into an actual Watchdog. Now he dedicates to full-time vigilantism, much to the chagrin of Paw and Order. It's also a subtle reference on how Dobermans were being phased out by German Shepherds as the security guard dog.

Rockster Lobster:

It's a literal Rock Lobster! I mean a Lobster whose body is made of rocks. As in Lobster + Ooze + Stone Soldier = Rockster Lobster. Basically a stone creature in the shape of a Spiny Lobster, aka Rock Lobster. He has 10 limbs like lobsters:

Main claws being the first pair of limbs. A pair of (non poseable) tiny legs near his face. The feeding limbs (first pair of walking legs in a normal lobster)

2 pairs of (barely poseable) spidery legs that allow him to stand in a hexaped mode.

The last 2 legs are the humanoid legs that allow him to stand bipedally.

The only piece of clothing it has is a loincloth made of matching towels... (yes, it's a reference to the song). Due to him being vintage it kinda looks like Mowgli's "diaper" styled loincloth.  The rocky body can have seaweed, bits of coral and barnacles and small sea creatures like crabs, an actual lobster, clams, starfish, etc. in vintage Playmates fashion. His action feature is articulated claws. And slightly hinged tail. For accessories: tanning butter stick. (It's just a stick of butter, because he's a lobster), reuse the crab budy from sewer surfing Mike, Lobster trap shield. 

In the change to Ultimates, this figure would be a bit taller than the Turtles. He could get more articulation on the "lesser legs". He could get a second head to use in hexaped mode. Adding soft goods towels to make a more loincloth looking loincloth. 

I don't have to say that B-52s Rock Lobster was an inspiration.

Snek:

It's an anthropomorphic Mullet sporting Rattlesnake with an eye patch on his right eye, wearing an outfit inspired by Jack Burton. But with the foot insignia covered by a 🚫 and Snek written  on it.

On his left arm he has the same "handcuff" Plissken had in Escape from LA.

For accessories:

Silenced gun, machine gun, grenades, soft goods trenchcoat. A little buddy that is a Jack in a box. The box has a lightning bolt sculpted on it. The Jack in the box has shoulder length hair and looks like a pretty boi.

The change to Ultimates adds 2 more heads:

A Snek head without eyepatch, a black bandana and a cigarette sculpted on his mouth. The other head is blond. With removable sunglasses and a ponytail.

The guns come in realistic colors instead of vintage white plastic. The Jack in the box is painted in pale blonde hair, a pale face and a grey outfit. The box it grey, turquoise and the lightning bolt is the color of Jack's hair.

It's obvious that Snek is a tribute to Kurt Russell, but my Super7's extras turn him into a Konami nod that is a nod to Kurt Russell. It is also a nod to TMNT's close relationship with Konami. Something something EPF agent who volunteered for a mutation experiment. Bishop aims for Snek to join the Mutanimals and become a government liason between the Mutanimals and the EPF. And yes, his shirt is a nod to no step on snek parody of the Gadsden flag. The reversed eyepatch is to make it less obvious that it is a nod to Plissken, but also it's a nod to Naked Snake. The Jack in the box is a double MGS reference: Jack in the box is known for hiding in a box and surprising people. Which is a nod to the Cardboard box trick, and he is supposed to look like a Raiden reference.

Jane Doe:

As her name states, she's a female deer. She's also an amnesiac who doesn't remember anything aside a few days ago, when she woke up shackled to a wall by a group of survivalist weirdos (Committee to Rebuild American Patriotism guys or the Humans Against The Extraterrestrials guys. The point is that it'sa hate group of survivalists that the Turtles stopped.) who were interrogating her about the Turtles, when Casey Jones showed up and saved her. After taking him to his grandma's farm and giving her some clothes that belonged to his late ex, Casey named her Jane Doe.

The idea for the character is that she looks human from the neck down AND all of her clothes hide her features. Her face would be covered by a Burlap sack. The idea is to hide which version of Jane Doe you bought. Since V1 of the figure had the human chase variant be 1/100. After the backlash a v2 of the figure was released that used a new human head, and a slightly different color on her outfit. Now you had a 50/50 chance of Jane or Doe.

Red turtleneck with a dark brown leather jacket and dark brown gloves blue jeans and black boots complete the look. For v1. For v2, the red is darkened and the browns lightened a little.

Her human heads v1 is a Blonde April v1 head. V2 human head is a blonde Mitsu head.

For accessories she has the burlap sack that covers her head, image inducer belt (gift from Prof. Honeycutt to give her a human appearance. Also explains the human variant), reuse April's gun and flashlight, ooze vial.

The Ultimates version of her would have both human heads, the normal Doe head, and an expressive doe head (terrified) obviously some extra hands and all her vintage accessories in realistic colors and maybe some shackles to chain her up.

Charley Horse:

Basically a horse racing jockey anthropomorphic horse Cronenberg body horror thing. Multi colored shirt, white pants torn in some places, you can see his tail popping out the back of his pants, his left leg is partially horsefied with a hoof and hosreshoe, while the right leg looks human. His head is fully horsefied and somehow his jockey helmet stays on.

For accessories he has the riding crop (he can spank himself to run faster), champion wreath shield, call to post bugle

Super7 would toss in 1 extra head that looks like he's running hard. The accessories would be in realistic colors.

Gulo²:

Imagine a vertically challenged Lumberjack crossed with a carcajou... an animal that rhymes with polverine. He should be about a head shorter than the turtles, but as stocky as them. Dressed like Paul Bunyan after fighting a bear WITH A TORN RED PLAID SHIRT, BLUE JEANS AND BLACK BOOTS. The figure should have a roaring face. 

For accessories he gets a lumberjack ax, a cybernetic muzzle/mask, an empty can of hoots, and a jug of maple syrup, because Canada.

The Ultimates version would get two additional heads. One of them will be with the Muzzle/mask sculpted in with additional details that would make it reminiscent of the one used on WeaponX... again, if.it wasn't obvious that Gulo² is a parody of Marvel's Angry Stabby Canadian, the Muzzle/Mask would make it obvious.  The other head would be a more surly expression and not roaring like the "vintage head". I wanted to add an addituional head with an eyepatch, but that would've made the Rogan-san conneection too obvious. (I worte his name in Japanese on ourpose since they have no L.)

His fiust hands would have brass knuckles with small "spikes" between the knuckles. Another subtle nod to "the best there is at what he does and what he does ain't nice, bub!" 

He gets all the accessories, but in color. In addition he gets a torn and broken version of his control helmet that can be put on the vintag head or used as a prop. 

Gulo² is an angry short lumberjack who loves fighting in Inderground Canadian fighting tournaments. After losing to Karai in one of these (subtle nod to Tournament Fighters) he was dumped in the Canadian Wilderness. In his stupor he pissed off a Wolverine and as he ran away from the little freak, he stumbled and fell into the same ooze that created Monty Moose. Now turned into a rabid carcajou,  Karai recruited him for her secret army against Krang and her father as an assassin for the Foot... or something.

Wowee! I ended up making way too many characters... This was supposed to be just Neferkitty, Funguy,Watchdog and Paw and Order. I had fun... even if 2 characters are blatant ersatz parody versions of other characters from other properties.
