Hear me out. Or read, since this is written. I totally did not buy a Robot Reaper for the Not Gameboy for the GameDude... I also wanted the endoskeleton and robe for two different MuTeens characters and the bitching Scythe for Nick Sr. But THAT got me thinking:
It would be cool if Super7 did Ultimates compatible accessories to play across their different lines. I know other companies do stuff that works with various lines. But we need accessories and Dioramas:
Seeing the 1980s Huge ass floppy Disk on Robot Reaper got me thinking:
We need a 1980s Computer that could fit that Floppy. (In addition to other floppies)
A 90s counterpart with 90s floppies and CD-ROM would be nice too.
A couple of the Not Gameboys from Robot Reaper would be nice to add. They would work in most of the Ultimates displays. I can totally see Shipwreck sitting in a corner playing a Not Gameboy, same thing as Donatello and Michelangelo, Zack, etc.
80s Futuristic computer panels work for Joes, TMNT, Transformers, and Silverhawks, as well as others.
We could get a small diorama with a desk and chairs, a file cabinet. Again, this can be used in multiple lines (and we need an alternative to hinting down 2002 JJJ desks by ToyBiz) For example: generic Metal desk variant that can be used through multiple lines paired up with one of the computers already mentioned from another acc. pack while Wooden Desknis exclusive to stargazer and has Silverhawks themed accessories.
We got a few tools in the Party Wagon. So, bringing forth those tools and others we could have a workbench diorama. Useful for garages, makeshift labs, etc. With some tool switching around and adding theme specific items, we could turn those into a TMNT item, a GI Joe item, etc.
Same thing would apply for the "futuristic computers" I mentioned. A "gold variant" could be the Transformers item, while a metallic blue variant with a few specialized items could be COBRA themed.
Now the "brand specific" sets should be a smidge more expensive as they should be "more Deluxe". For example: Office Diorama:
Standard:
-Desk
-2 chairs
-File Cabinet
-files
-Desk Calendar
-Telephone with speaker that can be picked up and hanged up
-80s PC
-80s floppies
-empty coffee mug
-rolodex
That sets you back $45.
The Stargazer deluxe Office Diorama would set you back $75
-Desk
-chair
-bookshelf
-Fan
-Back wall
-floor
-side wall
-weapon storage
The main price difference is the walls and floor plus the license specific items.
The Deluxe Diorama sets should be put through "kickstarter styled" preorders. Whole the standard sets should be put through vanilla preorders.
While remaining on the Desk diorama theme, S7 could also release themed Accessory packs to supplement the dioramas:
For example: a Channel 6 Upgrade pack for the desk set:
This set of monitors shown here could be a nice addition. (Hollow to use as an item storage unit). Toss in some Channel 6 employee placards (A. O'Neil, V. Fenwick, I. Laginstein, B. Thompson). Channel 6 coffee mug with removable steaming coffee effect, 2 tv cameras, and other Channel 6 themed paraphernalia
But back to the original point: accessory packs: These Generic Packs could also be used to bypass some restrictions. One of these generic packs could be food themed and one of the items could be a Pork Chop Sandwich! Since Hasbro wouldn't want an official GI Joe Porkchop Sandwich, this would be a nice way to bypass that issue. Also, calling it a Katsu Sando would throw off Hasbro.
Also, GI Joe could get a PSA themed pack:
-Roadblock's pole grabber
-Winter coat for Shipwreck
-Campfire and blanket (for Spirit)
-old Refrigerator (now I want Punky Brewster Ultimates)
-Tree branch
-Medicines
-sunscreen
-spray paint cans
Completely unrelated but I'd buy a PSA Scarlett variant.
