More dumb Turtle Variants

 I haven't had a great day, so I'll ease off my mind making dumb Turtle variants that Super7 could exploit... some are less dumb than others.

Let's call this wave idea: TMNT 2.0 
Leonardo:
Same vanilla turtle body, but the swords on his bandolier are parallel to each other instead of crossed like vintage.
3 heads: Traditional Vintage, meditating, with hat.
Hands:
  • C-grip horizontal and vertical hinge
  • Fists
  • Dramatic expression
  • Pointing
Accessories:
  • 2 katanas
  • 3 kunai
  • 2 Cat claws
  • 2 4 point shuriken
  • Soft goods coat
Donatello:
Same vanilla body but new bandolier with bot straps going over the same shoulder.
4 heads: Vintage, new pensive, new angry, with hat.
Hands:
  • C-grip horizontal and vertical hinge
  • Fists
  • Dramatic expression
  • Pointing
Accessories:
  • New longer bo staff with Naginata blade plug in.
  • New Mirage inspired Gauntlet blaster
  • 2 cat claws 
  • Night Vision Goggles
  • Soft goods coat.
Raphael:
Same vanilla body with new belt without push knife slot on the back but with 2 tonfa loops instead.
3 heads: vintage,new screaming, new brooding.

  • Fists
  • Dramatic expression
  • Pointing

Michelangelo:
Same vanilla body with new belt that has the nunchaku loops on the side similar to the SOTO movie Mikey.
3 heads: Vintage, new goofy expression, with hat.
Hands:
  • C-grip horizontal and vertical hinge
  • Fists
  • Dramatic expression
  • Pointing
Accessories:
  • 2 New stringed nunchaku.
  • 2 cat claws
  • 2 twirling nunchaku like pantrho's
  • Manrikigusari with real chain
  • Soft goods coat
  • Sunglasses
The idea behind these 2.0 is to "refresh the OG turtles, make companions to the UC Raphael, to bring some things some fans wanted (like Donatello without crossed straps), some extra heads and some accessories that are kinda needed. These are meant to be released as "non-wave" quarterly releases. 1 Turtle per quarter.

Now for some "dumb" variants: 

Kagemusha series: Ninja Turtles dressed as actual ninjas.
Kagemusha Leonardo:
Essentially Leonardo in a traditional Ninja Outfit. This outfit will be reused on all 4 turtles.
In Leonardo's case the outfit is a faded navy blue to contrast with his blue hedband. His belt has no loops on the back but has one on the side to hold a second ninjato.
Heads:
Normal, hooded without mask hooded with ony mask (like Sewer Samurai Leo)
Usual hands
Accessories:
  • Scabbard and ninjato from sewer Samurai Leo.
  • Cat claws
  • Kunai
  • 4-point shuriken
  • Grappling hook
  • Smoke bomb (exploding)
Kagemusha Donatello:
Sporting the same outfit as Leo in faded purple, Donny's belt has a loop to hold his bo staff in retracted mode or blowgun.
Heads:
Normal, Balaclava with High tech visor, hood and modern facemask.
Usual hands plus new hand holding caltrops
Accessories:
  • Bo staff retracted and extended
  • Blowgun with plug in firing dart effect.
  • Clear plastic piece with sculpted and painted caltrops
  • Cat claws
  • Kunai
  • Grappling hook
Kagemusha Raphael:
Same outfit in faded Dark blood red with belt with sai loops.
Heads:
Normal, Hooded with Kitsune Mask, Foot Elite styled Mask and strawhat.
Usual hands
Accessories:
  • Sai
  • Kusarigama with real chain
  • Cat claws
  • Kunai
  • Grappling hook 
Kagemusha Michelangelo:
Faded yellowish brown Kagemusha body, belt has loops for his nunchaku.
Heads:
Normal, hooded with orange Tengu Mask, no hood with tengu mask on the side of his head, normal but looks as if he's blowing something.
Unfortunately, my original idea of April's Panties mask would never happen, but yeah I wanted Mikey with a Pantsu mask.
Usual hands
Accessories:
  • Nunchaku
  • Grappling hook 
  • Cat claws
  • Kunai
  • "Blinding mist effect" (plugs on fourth head)
These are in a way an homage parody to traditional Ninja movies and other movies that tried to copy TMNT (ie 3 ninjas).

This wave idea has no name as it's taking random crap and seeing what sticks: 

Training Leonardo: 
Essentially Leonardo with a new nude torso. He's sporting the wandering leo pads and wristbands.

For heads, 2 with shredder helmets. One of them has a red mouthpiece.
Usual hands
Accessories:
  • Sai
  • Kusarigama
  • Bladed tonfa
Artistic Michelangelo: (this would be a $75 deluxe item due to the large amount of larger accessories)
Basically NAKED Michelangelo with a soft goods robe and apron.
Heads: maskless head with "bubble pipe" plug in mouth hole, maskless head with beret on, maskless head with paint stains on face.
Usual hands plus a brush holding hand
Accessories:
  • Palette
  • Easel with 3 canvas paints (A Mike and pizza inspired by the creation of Adam, Venus the turtle in a nod to the Birth of Venus, with April, Casey and Irma being the other characters, Mona Lisa as her namesake.)
  • Painting knife
  • Partial lifesize sculpture of April as a greek goddess. (With removable pieces that reveal more of the statue.)
  • Hammer and Chisel nunchucks
  • Typewriter shield.
