Super7 2k3 Turtles: a rant

 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2k3 figures are supposed to be announced in April. (Not like that... I'm talking about the Month, not the redhead.) I have a few fears:

-I fear the cartoon's stylized look having a negative effect on the figures. I want to mix and match between Vintage inspired fogures, new creations and 2k3... in a matter how the Classicizer approach worked with MOTUC. I want to use, say the 2k3 Foot Soldiers as the Japanese branch of the Foot, which would match better with Karai.

-on the other hand I also fear Super7 going Playmates lazy... wouldn't be Super7's first time either. I mean look at their "Mirage TMNT ReAction" which are 87 toon ReAction TMNT in greyscale. If the 2K3 Turtles are the exact same tuetles we got with new belts and brown pads, then they're an easy skip.

-sleeveless Splinter... please don't fuck this up and give us a Splinter with a sleeved Kimono... in fact he needs two of them. One based on the earler 2k3 seasons and the other based on back to the sewers.

-Klunk NEEDS TO BE AN ACCESSORY FOR MICHELANGELO. DON'T SCREW US OUT OF AN OFFICIAL KLUNK! 

-relying on the Turtles themselves to see if 2k3 should move forward. The turtles are very likely to sell. So would Shredder, April, Splinter, Casey,  Foot Ninja. The real Gauge goes beyond the core folks.


Then there's the usual Super7 delays, hit or miss QC, etc. I honestly don't want this to fail, but I can't be too optimistic.
