Time for the TMNTU Wave 12 speculation post

 With wave 11 revealed we have wave 12 to talk about. There's a room where that weighs 12 will be based on the 2003 cartoon so one of my potential waves will be inspired by that. The other way would be somewhat similar to wave 11. Before I start I need to remind people that we still have the restrictions put on by Playmates Toys being a little bitch.

For the 2k3 wave it will be 4 characters and two of those will be turtles. Supposedly the rumors claim Super 7 would try to release the turtles a lot faster in the 2003 Style than they did woth vintage.

TMNT 2K3 Wave 1 (aka Ultimates TMNT wave 12)

Donatello

Raphael

Baxter Stockman

Shredder Elite Guard 

I know that wave one almost looks like vintage Wave 1 but with the addition of Donatello. It was on purpose. Since I had to add two turtles Splinter was replaced. 

Now for the Echoing Wave 11 wave 12:

So we have new character

New turtle design that keeps the turtle too close to vanilla.

Variant

Redeco

For New Character I choose: Fugitoid. I've mentioned him a couple of times, so I won't go into details.

For the Redeco, I choose Triceraton. New head and have him be in yellow skin.

For the variant I won't do a Turtle. I say: Oroku Saki.

Hakama and kimono will be soft goods. I would add grandmaster torso overlay (soft goods and plastic) soft goods belt. The grandmaster overlay on a different color is meant to be used for a Tatsu.

Underneath the Suit we use a Shredder body WITHOUT spikes... or neckpiece. This is to have an Oroku Saki. That can be displayed shirtless without the Shredder neckpiece or spikes.

An alternate Shredder head where his shredder helmet is more Samurai-inspired with a mouthguard looking like an oni mask. Two slip on spiked guantlets (see Masterverse slip on arm gauntlets as refernce) and a red tunic for a 'proto Shredder that is reminiscent of the Playmates wacky action Shredder.

New Turtle Design is Machinist Donatello... yes, it's a nod to the old Donatello does machines verse. Using the visuals from Ninja Nomad Leo. Let's take Vanilla Donatello body

For his bandolier, taking inspiration from Metalhead and Slash's belts for the design. The belt's  Buckle should be D shaped. The Shoulder straps should have Liefeldian pouches... the wristbands would be watches now. The kneepads would be those larger safety kneepads construction workers use. Bulkier elbow pads.

For heads one of the heads should have a sculpted in jewelers eyepiece. The other head would be one that could use a removable respirator that the back piece would plug on the Bo staff loop on his back

For accessories some tools, the mentioned respirator, a collapsible bo staff and a purple mechanic's apron.
