Boredom struck again. So let's do a part two over Vintage inspired variants: Again, these aren't necessarily things that I WANT WANT WANT, but to see if I can squeeze some creative juices.
"Mutations":
No, I'm not asking for Mutating figures. I'm asking for "opposite" versions of SOME Characters.
Hamato Yoshi:
Soft goods Kimono, belt and Hakama
Body can be reused on Oroku Saki.
Splinter accessories
Art History book
Oroku Saki:
Soft goods Kimono, belt and Hakama
Sewer samurai Leo Ninjato and Kunai
Empty Shredder helmet without mouth guard
Soft goods sleeveless tunic.
Dr. Stockman:
Body that can have parts reusable with Vernon.
Soft goods vest, sweater and labcoat
Add a mouser, the wave 6 remote alternate head (with neck) and hands to make the Other Baxter if this is sold as Mirage Baxter, add the parts for toon Baxter or vice-versa.
Rocksteady:
Taking a page from NECA's book, Roclsteady could share parts with Burne, mainly the lower arms. Visually he should look close to the cartoon version of Rocksteady but in vintage colors: Black shirt, olive green vest, forest camo pants.
For accessories
Knife
Grenades
Submachine gun
Bebop:
He should be a hybrid of the toon look with Playmates elements. Ie, toon closed vest with popped up neck, but shirt is now a long sleeved pink turtleneck and for shies, reuse Casey's.
For accessories:
Knife
Cordless drill
Alternate skintone hands and head (AA and Caucasian)
Casey Jones:
Basically an Unmasked Casey wearing a slightly different outfit. Short sleeved t-shirt and a removable vest. (Think Movie inspired but in different colors) for hands mirrored image of current Casey. (RIGHT gloved, LEFT wrapped. That way we have most of a "movie Star Casey" ready.) For heads, I think 3: Normal mask, maskless, broken mask creating a pseudo domino mask. Reuse the rest of Casey's stuff.
Wildcat April:
Basically making a more Varnerized Feline April new furry torso and arms, new crotch with tail Peg, new feet with torn boots for her hind paws.
Vernon the Wererat:
New torso with tattered shirt, new forearms and new legs with tattered pants like Fly Baxter, but with exposed rat parts. New crotch with rat tail poking out.
Irma the Wererat:
I've suggested soft goods clothing for Normal Irma. Here is no exception. The difference is that Normal Irma's soft goods items are for swapping looks. Here is for potential future parts reuse. A tattered light blue blouse and purple skirt would complete the look.
Sumo Turtles:
They should be big like the Playmates figures, but not exactly like the Playmates figures.
This time we get all 4 with New belts. Removable color coded mawashi. Soft goods Kimono that cam be worn normally or like E. Honda.
3 heads: Playmates Inspired, with Traditional Sumo hairstyle wig, "Normal looking" heads.
For hands:
C-grips, Dramatic, Fists, salt throwing right hand and pointing left hand.
For accessories: Chankonabe pizza bowl, sandals, the Aforementioned soft goods robe, removable mawashi, and their signature weapon(s)
Adventurer series:
Playmates made 3 Turtles with semi questionable accessories... I can kinda get behind this wave but I need a small tweak or two. Like eliminating the Water guns.
Deep Sea Leonardo:
Loosely inspired by the Playmates figure. The Grey on the Divesuit should be slightly greener, because Turtle. The Silver elements should be brass colored including the diving helmet. (Helmet should have a hole on top where we can pass a coated wire to act as a air hose for display purposes.) Maybe mirror flip the ctap stuck unto him and add color.
Heads: Vintage inspired, Dive helmet
Accessories:
Octopus
Dual hookswords that connect into an anchor
Speargun
Antarctic Donatello:
Similar to his Playmates Counterpart.
First we tweak colors:
Coat should be bluish purple and the glasses should have metallic colored lenses. Boots and gloves should be a bluish white with the fur trim being yellowish white.
Heads:
Similar to Playmates, one with glasses and no hood (pulled back hood neck overlay should be used with this head)
Accessories:
Escrima sticks pickaxes that combine into a dual pickaxe bo.
Penguin that can attach to flamethrower tank
