2003 in Super7 Ultimates: the rant

 Apparently, wave 12 of TMNTU will be Ultimates themed: 
So aside the usual suspects (Turtles, Shredder, Foot Ninja, Casey, April) who would I want to see?

Before I start the list: I don't want them "Cartoon Accurate". I want the Classicizer approach on these. For example, 2k3 Baxter has a flat top and very angular features. I don't want that. I want a Baxter figure wearing the 2k3 outfit, but looking more like this:

In the case of the Turtles, I want them to look a bit taller, wider and muscular than the 87 styled turtles... as seen in Turtles forever.
The turtles should match the skintone of the previously released turtles and the head pegs should be compatible with each other. Like the 2k3 versions could be reused as "Late teens versions if the 87 ones" if you catch my drift.

In other words I want them all to look like they're part of the same line and not two different toylines.

Hun
First obvious choice: I'd expect Super7 to sell him at $65. I'd make his top a soft goods item so I can change it between black and white. I'd gove him a rocket launcher, his gauntlets, and alternate head.

Giant Mouser
It's big, it's bad, its accessories can be additional mousers. It also lends itself for a GITD or vintage redeco.

Baxter Stockman (human)
Personally I prefer this look for his human mode sonce it lends itself for both Cyborg and Fly Outcomes and with some slight retooling a vintage Human Baxter could reuse some of his parts.
Alternate cyborg head and left hand are obvious accessories, as well as some mousers.



Baxter Stockman (cyborg)
This is basically Baxter's human head inside the Utrom Android body.

Agent Bishop
I've been clamoring for him for ages. SO I WON'T GO INTO DETAIL HERE. I expect lots of MIB styled weapons.

Nobody
Simple figure to make, cloth cape, mostly black and red, police equipment as weapons.

Rat King
It allows me to have multiple rat kings in the Neftyverse. Super7's accessories should be a surprise. Since the toy only has rats and a cinder block mace.

Fugitoid 
The 2003 Fugitoid looks more like its Mirage counterpart than the 1987 line... that makes me more interested in it.

These are my top wants from the 2k3 line... wait, this might also be a sneaky way to get the Usagi I want...
