Creating new characters for TMNT can be fun... I should eventually do a MOTU one, but I'm here to talk TMNT, since like I said, it's easier.
Coinflip:
After making a genetic abomination combining a Bullet ant, a Scorpion, a Hercules beetle, and a Bee; Shredder dunked this abomination in Ooze.
So, we have a dual headed, dual "tailed" insecticide creature. An upwards facing Hercules Beetle head with a forward facing Bullet ant head. On its back tiny bumblebee wings then a Scorpion tail and a Bee stinger.
It has four arms 2 with scorpion pincers and 2 reminiscent of Baxter's fly arms.
The idea behind the design is that it should work in both Bipedal and quadrupled modes.
Heads:
Ant head with detachable Pincer.
Hercules beetle head
Hercules beetle head with broken horns.
Hands:
Pincer hands would be Articulated.
Baxter fly hands
New fist hands
New flat hands for "foot mode"
New C-grips.
Accessories:
-Mandible cannon (a gun that shoots the removable bullet ant mandibles)
-Honeyspoon themed bludgeon.
The name is a reference to a coin flip... heads or tails, but with this evil dude the answer is always PAIN!!
Didgeridoo:
A Humanoid Platypus whose outfit is based on Aboriginal Australians. Something about him being an aboriginal who once helped Walkabout recover from some wounds and becoming friends with the Mutant kangaroo. He was doused with Ooze and turned into a Platypus.
3 heads:
Neutral, angry, blowing didgeridoo.
Hands:
C-grips, wide C-grips (for didgeridoo playing/weapon), Fists, relaxed
Accessories:
Spear
Woomera
Boomerang
Didgeridoo
Aboriginal shield
Aboriginal club
The idea for the character is to have another Australian character, but it's coming from a respectful Place, not from mocking stereotypes. Sure, I may be leaning a bit into the "Magical Native" trope, but it's not fully intentional.
The toy needs to be brown, but glow green under UV light... as a nod to Platypus doing that. (GITD Green S7 variant right there.)
Artemio Apollo:
This is a Mutant Hunter: Think a Meal Team 6 kind of guy who thinks he's an old school white game hunter like the one from Jumanji. Hailing from Buttzville New Jersey, Artemio has NEVER seen actual combat and only became a hunter after spending a year with some survivalists in Massachusetts.
So we're visualizing a Danny DeVito sized guy with a body similar to DeVito as the penguin.
Sporting a Thick black Skullet with ridiculously old school burnside muttonchops.
His rotund body begin with an I'll fitting T-shirt with half his hairy potbelly showing full of Foodstuffs and sweat. Shirt says No Muties.
Sporting Knee-length cut off beige cargo pants with pockets full of Candy Bard and snacks
On his left forearms he has a Jolly Roger Tattoo.
On his right bicep a Tiger face tattoo.
He's wearing a pair of Chuck Taylors with one sagging sock.
Heads:
Dumbfounded, open mouth, and cigar smoking head (think Ace Duck)
Hands:
Gun hands
C-grip
fists
Accessories:
Trucker hat with CRAP or HATE logo
Safari Helmet
Toupee
Aviator glasses
Shotgun
Desert Eagle
Leatherhead's bear trap
I'll fitting Bullet vest
Partially eaten Hotdog
Penn Gwen:
A female Ice Skating Macaroni Penguin/human hybrid. Picture a female Ice skater wearing a sleeveless Tuxedo themed Leotard but her face is that of an anthropomorphized Macaroni Penguin with two blonde pigtails that mimic the Macaroni Penguin Eyebrows. Her arms look like human arms halfway turning into flippers. The inside part is white while the outer part is black. Her feet are penguin feet.
Heads: Neutral, open mouth, open mouth with plug for Ice effect.
Hands: Neutral, Fists, C-grips, cryomancy hands.
Accessories: Ice swords, Ice skates (made of ice), Ice throwing knives, ice slide.
An ice skater named Gwendolyn Penn being hit by Ooze. Turned into a penguin cryomancer, she fights the foot in order to stop their Ooze distribution. (1980s toyline Shredder was making Ooze readily available everywhere.)
Spare Rib:
Imagine a Pig version of Guy Fieri, back when he was pudgier, but with the more muscular arms of current Guy. Now this Pig Guy Fieri has a removable Spare Rib poking out his left side. In Varner fashion his Right leg is a pig leg and his left hand is a pig/human hybrid hand/hoof. His outfit would be a Bowling shirt with Bacon and pig designs with flames at the bottom.
On one leg he's Sporting jeans and sneakers where the pig leg has a torn Jean leg and the pig hoof.
Heads: grinning head open mouth head that the apple hanging on his necklace cam be shoved in his mouth.
Hands:
C-grips, Fists, dramatic.
Accessories:
Various spare rib weapons:
Curved dagger
Curved sword
Boomerang
Non intrusive display rib
Larger display rib
Tray with peg (works as a stand and can be used as a tray for the baby back ribs accessory.)
Single rib with Ooze dip
Pineapple drink
Lei.
Basically the dude dipped his spare ribs in Ooze and became a flesh eating Mutant pig in a Luau attended by Shredder. Now as the ever hungry Spare Rib, he fights for the foot as he shares a dream with Shredder... eating Ninja Turtle Soup!
Professor Birdbrain:
Picture a hunched over Humanoid owl with a lab coat with holes for his wings and an exposed brain covered by a glass dome. Sporting a soft goods furry brown long skirt (think Mattel Grizzlor's fur) that hide his VERY sexy legs.
Heads:
Normal head
Head with light piping with both brain and eyes.
Hands:
C-grips, Fists, dramatic, pointing, trigger hands
Accessories:
Sci-fi blaster, titanium graduation cap helmet, utility belt, Birdroid.
Essentially a mutated owl who was dying after its brain got too big for its head and it was encased in a Dome inspired by former Justice Force Member Doctor Dome. Once recovered he decided to become Doctor Dome's successor and became Professor Birdbrain.
(Here's the S7 weird redeco: Neon Green with Green GITD brain and other parts variants could be done as a parody of
another Green owl.)
Specialist Mahble:
This is a Stone Warrior made of Marble. Unlike the big and bulky warriors like Traag or Granitor, this one is roughly MOTUC sized. His face kinda looks like David Hayter with a Kurt Russell's Plissken wig. Picture a rockier MOTUC body but with 4 fingered hands wearing a grayish white speedo with a military belt and grey boots. He also sports a torn white tanktop with his rank insignia on his chest. He also wears dog tags. (Removable)
In Varner fashion he has a few creepy crawlies all over his body. Among them, 5 Snakes:
A Grey Snake on his back a pale yellow Snake on his right forearm and a brown snake on his left bicep. A horned Viper on his left leg and a white snake shedding it's skin on the right leg.
(The snakes ARE a reference)
Heads:
Eyepatch head with Cigar, Eyepatch head without Cigar, patchless head.
Hands:
C-grips, trigger hands, Fists, wide grip/dramatic
Accessories:
Plastic Explosive
Handgun styled Blaster
Combat knife
Grenades
Evil communicator
The idea behind him is to expand the Stone Warriors sub-faction. Also, make a tribute to to Konami since the weapon choices are a subtle nod to Metal Gear and Konami had a relationship with TMNT in the 80s and 90s. Fun fact: the original idea was a nod to Stefanie Joosten's Quiet... and The Boss from MGS3. I changed it after remembering the whole Quiet scandal... so I chose David Hayter's face as a Fuck you to Hideo Kojima.
Detective Eagle-Eye Griffin:
A Humanoid Bald Eagle dressed like a Detective from a 70s Cop Show. Button up shirt, tie, suspenders, soft goods trenchcoat with wing holes. Hands and feet look like eagle talons.
Heads:
Half asleep, neutral expression, bugged out eyes.
Hands:
C-grips, Fists, trigger hands, donut hands, dramatic hands
Accessories:
Whole donut
half eaten donut with an end wet from coffee
Splinter's mug
UC Raph gun
Police baton
Badge necklace
Honey badger little friend (loose nod to Mel Gibson's Riggs) named Max. He's foaming up the mouth like a rabid dog.
Wings
The idea is a Detective (Lionel Griffin) turned into an anthropomorphized Eagle whose hands and feet are similar to an eagle's talons, giving him a griffin-like appearance. He's been two weeks to retire since 1972. The idea is basically a subtle homage to Danny Glover's Murtaugh.
That's it for now... I probably have like 20-something creations here... in total, not just this rant.
until next time I'm bored
