So I'm bored and have pre-election jitters. PR's election cycle has been mostly silent, aside the pro-statehood party making ridiculous ad campaigns against communism and socialism that seem almost like a GTA Parody and not a peep from any of the other candidates. Not to mention the clown show that has been this US Presidential election campaign cycle... but fuck politics, The House of Rants is supposed to be an escape from that bullshit! Let's start this list!

Top 11 Random TMNT Characters I want to see in Super7 Ultimates
Walker:
Ah yes, the British Weapons Dealer from the 17th Century who managed to have access to a Time Scepter. Can't you see the story potential of a man out of time plundering the eras and stealing weaponry from the future and taking it to the past? It is a nice way to bring forth...
Renet:
While the characters are chosen at random, I am trying to make some sense for the choices. I just want a Super7 scaled Renet, since I never got around ordering body parts from shapeways to make a custom Renet, but an official one sounds much better. She would open the doors for Savanti Romero, White, Lord Simultaneous... also we have a vintage Chote, so another reason for Renet.
Pizzaface:
It's not a S7 TMNTU Wishlist without Pizzaface at the House of Rants. Therefore Pizzaface.
Any of the Channel 6 trio:
And while part of me wants to say Irma first, I'm trying to be impartial on who I want. And you aren't buying that bullshit. You know the race is between Irma and Burne. Irma because damsel in distress and desperate to get some.dick is great for It Came from the Toy Chest. Butne because JJJ is always fun for photos, therefore the TMNT Counterpart could work as well. Vernon lends himself for some comedic pics, but I'd prefer Irma or Burne.
Professor Perry:
A nice way to introduce Utroms to the vintage line, also, it's Ra's al Ghul... well, he WAS Ra's al Ghul, or at least the voice of Ra's
Concrete Monster:
Not only he's in Turtles In Time Arcade version, but the Eye if Sarnath would be a nice accessory to have atop a Toon Shredder helmet.
Pizza Monster: (Shredder's Revenge version):
It differentiates the PM a lot from the NECA Version. Also, Super7 Could milk the mold to hell:
-Normal Pizza Monster
-growing Pizza Monster (more accurate would be glowing as in GITD, but the angle is that it's growing from the small form to the large form.
-Stuffed Crust variant with GITD white eyes.
Depending in the original paintjob, we could have:
Red sauce, white sauce, green sauce. Each with different colored toppings. ie: red, green or yellow peppers, white or red onion, the Aforementioned sauces, even with more cheddar cheese on the PM.
Tatsu:
Of course, Tatsu will be on the list, mainly because I want a Huyperstone Heist Tatsu. Just to differentiate him from NECA.
Dregg:
Another Big Bad that we missed out on the vintage line and has Variant potential. Which also opens up a path for Carter, who I won't mention on this list, otherwise the list would balloon up to 20 or thirty figures.
Roadkill Rodney:
I've discussed Roadkill Rodney's before and I strongly believe they'd be a cool addition to the line.
Mighty Mutanimals character:
We already have a couple of Mutanimals, so expanding the Roster makes sense. I KNOW there is a Jagwar sketch that was a rejected idea towards Playmates. Super7 could take inspiration from that and go for the loincloth look and not the banana leaf skirt look that NECA already did. Same thing could apply for Dreadmon with the blue tunic and red fur close to the issue where the Mutanimals die. Ninjara's cameo in Shredder's Revenge. There was a vintage Merdude, and last but not least Candy Fine is easy to make and in a way can give us pieces for a Red Sky April. Any choice is good.
These sound a lot better than Dog Walking Donatello or, underground pit fighter Raph. Okay, that underground pit fighter Raphael sounds like a good idea though..

Anime girls in the Vatican? WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS!?
Anime girls have invaded the Vatican. Luce, is part of the 2025 Jubilee celebration.
My literal thoughts when I read about Luce:
"How long until R34 hits her?"
As of the time I wrote this rant, She has been hit by R34. But seriously, a Vatican loli is not going to help the Catholic Church's ChoMo reputation... But here we are, Vatican loli is real
Vatican Loli was not something I ever expected to say or type ever. Yet here we are. Coraline Ayanami.
Nazis are bad... a rant:
Nazis are bad... The fact that I have to say Nazis are bad is ridiculous in itself. But I don't want to be canceled, so Nazis are bad... so we're clear right? Nazis are bad.
Why am I rambling about Nazis being bad?
Because in a game where you fight Nazis, there is a disclaimer stating Nazis are bad.
The game? Indiana Jones... the same Indiana Jones who fought Nazis in 2 out of his 3 movies... or 3 out of 5 if we count the two bad fanfics.
The warning is because there is Nazi imagery in a game where you fight Nazis.
Nazis imagery in a game where you fight Nazis is expected. You don't glorify Nazis in a game where you fight them. Neither is playing a multi-player game where Allies battle Nazis. Someone HAS to be the bad guy. Now if we're playing a game as a Nazi trying to expand Hitler's rule, that may be considered glorifying the Nazis, but Indiana Jones isn't that.
So, yeah, Nazis bad... it's kinda sad that a company has to state this because they're trying to not get canceled.
Double Dragon top wanted figures vs possible Wave 2:
These are based on the Arcade game, so I need to look at the Arcade Sprites. I want a NES Abobo...
OK let's talk theoretical Wave 2:
Wave 2, Three figures... well 2 Figures because I'm betting Jeff has a guaranteed Spot, since he's a Repaint of the Lee Brothers with a new head.
Now who else could join this wave:
Williams/Roper:
They could be made with parts from the Lee bros. New heads are obvious. Newlower legs, forearms would be shared amongst the two. Roper would require a shirtless torso and reuse the Lee bros. vest. Williams would reuse the Lee torso sans vest.
So The Most likely Wave 2 would star:
Jeff
Williams
Roper
Since they're the parts reuse bunch. But IF we have a surprise character instead of going full obvious reuse, it would be between Abobo or Linda.
Buuuuuuuut the curveball with Abobo could be either Jick, the Dark skinned Abobo with a Mohawk and glasses? Or Mibobo the Mi(dori A)bobo... aka Greenbobo.
But for the longevity of the waves: Here's how I'd do it:
Wave 2:
Jeff
Linda
Jick
Honestly, my most wanted characters are:
Linda
Marian she needs her panty flashing skirt for Arcade accuracy.
Abobo
Williams (for ab punching Marian) shit I need to get Willy, Jeff, and Roper... that's almost the entire roster. Fuck!
At least the original Double Dragon is a small line. Now, if they expand to other games, that might be Problematic.
Oí, Macaluso! Can we get a full roster this time? I remember SOTA. How we missed out on Dee Jay...
