I joked about this on a previous rant, so this is not a serious list (aside maybe Beach April and Irma) but boredom has struck and I need to ramble about something, dammit! There will be no Michelangelo as these are supposed to be companion pieces to Sewer Surfing Mike. Oh no, I feel like I'll make companion piece to all 4 disguised Turtles...

Tubular Surfing Ninja Leo:
This is a nod to the Playmates toy but not exactly. Also, it works as an indirect Nod to surf Ninjas. But back to the Leo figure. It shares a lot with sewer Surfin Mike but it's not a straight repaint. The changes in sculpt would be New heads fitting for Leonardo, new right forearm to replace the crab with a pink sea star. The feet are for him to have surfer shoes instead of flippers.
The suit should be painted in a way that's inspired by vintage toy but different enough so Playmates won't complain:
Sharks would have to be brownish like bull sharks, the Eel in a raph green to look like a moray. For the suit, Neon Green for the yellow parts and yellowish orange for the red orange parts.

Surfboard (Turtles Surf with Honor would replace Mike's Kowabunga)
