Another Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki in Ultimates rant:

 I got to keep pushing for these because I want them... No, I NEED them. Also, they'd be Theoretically easy to make and they have a moderate amount of part reuse. Theoretically, you can get 4+ figures out of this body:

We start with a modified Shredder body with no neck overlay, no shoulder spikes and bare forearms. For the lower legs the Foot Soldier boots work. For hands, the Foot Soldier and Shredder hands work. Let's call this body NeoFoot buck

Hamato Yoshi:
Neofoot buck (bare arms) black belt, grey pants, light grey boots.
Soft goods Fuchsia Tunic
Soft goods light grey Hakama. 
Shredder soft belt.
Foot Soldier hands plus 2 Dramatic furless rat hands.
Heads:
Neutral Yoshi, Meditating Yoshi, turning into a rat Yoshi head

Accessories:
Bow and Arrows from Splinter
Zatoichi styled Cane Sword
Cage with pet rat
Renaissance Art Book
Framed photo of Tang Shen

Oroku Saki:
Neofoot buck (Bare Arms)
Black pants and belt with dark brown boots.
Soft goods navy blue tunic
Soft Shredder belt
Dark grey soft goods hakama
Soft goods navy blue Shredder styled Tunic.
Plastic neck overlay with shoulder spikes (head keeps it in place)
Slip on forearm blades (see Mattel Masterverse figure vambraces as reference)
Strap on leg blades (see Mattel MOTUC Man-at-arms as reference) 
Foot Soldier hands and new left hand Fist with sculpted on Shredder blades

Heads:
Normal Oroku Saki, Angry Oroku Saki, Battle Damaged Oroku Saki, Shredder head with Gunmetal black helmet (blades would be GMblack as well.)

Accessories:
Thermite grenade
Backstabber knife
Katana

Tatsu:
Neofoot buck with Shredder forearms (without the spike armor. Instead he has a strap with throwing spikes attached to both arms.)
He uses Shredder hands with additional hands holding some throwing spikes between his fingers and a pair of hands with throwing spikes effect.
Heads:
Neutral, angry
Soft goods Burgundy tunic
Dark grey soft goods hakama. 
Blueish Grey soft goods torso overlay.
Soft goods Red tunic with black flames sleeveless gi.
Shredder soft belt

Accessories:
Sewer Samurai Kunai.
War fan open and closed

Oroku Nagi:
Neofoot buck with bare arms. Dark grey pants with dark red boots.
Foot Soldier hands
Soft goods sleeveless Black Tunic with red flames.
Soft Shredder belt.
Heads:
Neutral Nagi, Angry Nagi, Battle Damaged Nagi. Note, heads should be 2 pieces with the hair being a separate piece. (Important for variant)

Accessories: 
Rack weapons.
Battle damaged Hamato Yoshi head.

Bonus Figure: 
Ghost of Oroku Nagi: (GITD)
Neofoot buck bare arms and new clawed feet
The Dramatic hands from Yoshi New clawed fists, clawed pointing hands
Soft goods ragged wraith robe

Heads:
Angry Nagi (living look) Angry wraith head with longer hair. Neutral wraith head

Accessories: 
Flight stand 

The figure should be molded in GITD BLUE Plastic with the hair being GITD white.
The torso and arms should have battle damage painted on in a shade of blue similar to the body, so it only shows when glowing.

So as you can see, I pulled 5 figures out of the same buck. I left some nods to the original Playmates toys without stepping on their toes. I kinda used the Playmatesizer on Tatsu with the recoloring.
