TMNT Ultimates Accessory Packs: another Rant:

 I'm not a fan of the current Super7 Bullshit packs where they remove accessories from figures and hold you hostage to buy entire waves when you only want 1 character. 

First, allow more pay in installments options. I can't use Shop Pay because it doesn't recognize my address/card. You USED TO have PayPal's pay in 4, but now you don't. So it looks like I'll have to get Copper Kidd from a third party that allows payments in installments that I can use.

Second: Don't toss all 4 Turtles in a wave, because I won't be getting all 4 from you, given how you limited my options.

Third: the packs are not an incentive, they're more of a reminder of how you're ripping us off with their bullshit. No mailer box, no protective sleeve, less accessories per figure, but y'all keep increasing prices.

With that said, Accessory packs ON THEIR OWN, aren't a bad idea. The thing is that they can't be as lame as the Mousers. 

I will make 4 sets of 30-ish items to represent the yearly releases of 2 sets roughly every 6 months: they will have a combination of old and new items with very little paint: gunning for a $45 price tag.

Set 1: Clan Hamato Tubular Training Set:
- 6× Kunai
- 4× Cat Claws
- 2× Hook Swords
- 1× Sansetsukon
- 2× Jitte
- 1× Naginata
- 1× Bow
- 3× arrows
- 1× quiver
- 1× Training dummy with holes for kunai.
- 1× pizza slice with sai hole
- 1× pizza minus single slice
- 2× Underwater Explosive device (NES)
- 1× Sushi (Shredder's Revenge)
- 2× Turtle Comms (for Mikey)
-1× Turtle grappling hook

Set 2: Foot Clan Funky Fight Gear:
-2× Katana in Foot Soldier colors
-1× Naginata in Foot Soldier colors

-1× Bandolier with Knife sheath ( for Rocksteady)
-1× Triceraton Gun in Bebop colors
-1× Broken Ooze canister toon colors

-2× Foot Tonfa (nod to Arcade games and Mutatin' Foot Soldier)
-2× Foot Crossbow
-4× Spy Flies (nod to the Arcade game)
-2× Leatherhead Bear traps

But since super7 would behave like a bag of dicks and remove accessories in order to produce an extra, here's the "extra pack to force you to buy both packs"

2× Trigger hands for Rocksteady and Bebop
2× Expressive hands for Rocksteady and Bebop
2× Ninja 2 finger pose for Shredder (w2 and w8)
1× Hang Ten left hand for each turtle
2× pointing hands for each turtle
2× Michelangelo twirling nunchaku hands (first movie reference.)
2× twirling nunchaku
2× twirling pizzas

Accessories wave 2:
 Set 1: Radical Accessories pack:
-1× TV with interchangeable Screens
(April, Shredder, static, turned off)
-1× Self propelled Sewer exploration device (nod to the Sewer Swimming Donatello toy.)
-1× Cheapskate Prototype (inspired by the Skatin Mike skateboard with a box fan.
-2× Sewer Squirters (nod to the Child role play toy made for the actual toys) with squirting ooze effect
-1× Cricket Paddle
-1× Baseball glove
-1× Tennis racket
-1× Bazooka
-1× slingshot
-2× turtle sized gas mask
-1× plunger
-1× chained claw (it was in the vintage line and a reference to Kung Pow: Enter the fist.)
-1× Battle axe (nod to Panda Khan)
-2× full pizzas

Set 2: Foot Reinforcement Pack:
-2× Roadkill Rodneys 
-3× Long tendrils
-6× short tendrils
-3× stands
-1× harpoon gun (Manhattan Project nod)
-1× LH tobacco leaves painted in correct colors
-1× LHturtle painted in correct colors
-1× LH crawfish painted in alive colors.
-1× Knife for Leatherhead (TMNT:TiT reference)
-1× Baxter Blaster from TiT with effect piece.
-2× Kusarigama
-1× cloth tunic for Shredder
-1× tattered cape for Shredder

Now for the Dickish extra pack:
-4× Turtle heads Meditation.
-1× Unmasked Casey Head
-1× Oroku Saki head
-1×Shredder head with Eye of Sarnath
-1× April head inspired by the first movie.
 
 Due to the large items, the amount of extras in the second pack are reduced. 
 
My original plan was to have 2 packs every four months. The s7 styled "dick move packs" were made out of body parts that would've been spread out theoughout the packs.
