I'm trying to squeeze out a few rants until Advent Calendar starts and take it easy until Late Dec. With D&D wave 1, TMNT Wave 11, and other stuff I can begin making some ICFTTC for early 2025 and begin that year's Advent Calendar. (The Technodrome will make it if Amazon sends it)

TMNT logical Variants: an Ultimates! rant:

Yet another I want Pizzaface rant:
Making the cutter leg "functional" and using the pizza box as a pseudo stand.
Prototype head with the madball siamese twin biting main head.
Head based by the Jim Lawson art.
Shredder's Revenge styled head. (Just like Bishie Rat King)
-Extra Legs: a Metal Pizza Peel could be used as an alternate leg in addition to the Mega cutter and cleaver legs. I would even add a rolling pin DESPITE NO PIZZA CHEF WORTH THEIR SALT WOULD HAVE ONE. Then again Pizzaface is NOT a good chef.
He'll, the vintage toy's plastic apron could be converted into a removable belt and have a second soft goods apron "to appease Playmates".
Honestly, I'm curious to see what the fourhorsemen did woth their Pizzaface.
In any case gobble gobble!

Muck you Fattel... fucking Raid Shadow Legends
It's more logical than Fortnite, but it's fucking Raid: Shadow Legends! Why Mattel Why!?
I understand not whoring yourselves to Fortnite.
Just look at how they massacred Kratos.
But Raid: Shadow Legends, Fuuuuuuck! Just thinking of the idea makes me want to puke. Actual He-Man game? Nah, Raid Shadow Legends and Roblox has us covered. Hasbro releases Transformers, GI Joe, My Little Pony games for actual consoles. Mattel: Roblox and Raid Shadow Legends. The last He-Man appearance in a console game was back 8 years ago with the Toy Chest game.
MOTU themed Retro 2D beat'em-up game when?

Better "exclusive" ideas than GTID it! A Super7 Ultimates rant
Blue mask, grey shirt and purple pants as a nod to the throwing weapons Foot Soldiers with Kunai, Shuriken, daggers, etc.
Grey mask blue shirt ans purple pants as a nod to the Sword fielders
Etc.
Point is that more thoughtful exclusive redecos can be a better alternative than a halfassed GITD it.

NECA Fucked up big time
NECA fucked up big time.
They sent multiple Sewer lair sets to some people. Well, mistakes happen, but NECA Fucked up. They sent the wrong amount of playsets to people. Now they're DEMANDING people to send them back, lest they be banned from buying straight from NECA.
This sucks for NECA, but the law is not on their side here. According to the US Federal Trade Commission:
The people who received EXTRA Lairs don't have to pay for them or send them back.
More MOTU Movie news. Race swap ahead
Duncan's actor looks more like a Deller, than a Duncan. Now don't get me wrong, the actor in question is a REALLY GREAT ACTOR. My issue is that Duncan's white. The actor is black. It's fucking Knuckles... yes so we have Community Evil Lyn, Riverdale Teela, possibly alleged pedophile but confirmed cult leader as Skeletor, and Crappy The Craft Sequel He-Man. Now we add Man-at-Knuckles.
The writer of Paranorman is writing it. I hope they scrap the Adam on Earth Bullshit. It has the director of Bumblebee... this duo doesn't seem bad... but I smell a Stinkor and I ain't talking about the MOTU Skunk villain. While horribly muscat, Mr. Elba is the only non-awful choice following this film's casting.

Shenmue news... a new hope for 3?
Shenmue 3... what can I say about it? It's the only link I have with Cam Clarke. Shame that IMDB doesn't count kickstsrter backers as special thanks.
But I an in there. Of Course, Liquid is in a different section (actual VA) While I'm in the Idiot who threw $100 at Shenmue3.
Well, just like QWOP: Amazon Prime Edition, Sony's Exclusivity ended for Shenmue 3. Now Inin games has the Publishing Rights for Shenmue 3.

Super7 is throwing everything to see what sticks.
In a world where toy companies make faux retro toys with modern articulation. Super7's copying Funko. Remember the MOTU Kombat figures? Funko had made Thundercats as well.
Well, look what Super7 just announced:
At $30 per figure, Bryan Flynn can take these Funko Savage World knockoffs and shove them up his... you know the rest. At $30 these fuckers should have MOTU Origins level of articulation and more accessories. Wait... they fixed the shipping to Puerto Rico!? Motherfuckers!! But wait until tmnt 2k3 wave 2 gets announced and they manage to screw up the shipping to PR by forcing FedEx.
In any case, these exist for those who missed out on the Savage World Funko Thundercats. I However will skip them. Aside the articulated Cringer from the Adam and Cringer two pack and 200X He-Man and Skeletor, I aint buying no more origins... (unless Glimmer is show)
Yet another "Vintage TMNT" wave speculation.
We know that the next TMNT Ultimates wave is 2k3 based with Shredder (no idea if it's a Ch'rell Shredder or a Season 1 Shredder) Foot Ninja, Casey, and Splinter. I fear the next 2k3 wave will toss April, Bishop, Baxter, and Hun just to fuck me over. But with Super7 Preorder outrageous shipping Prices to PR, I can't split my waves between BBTS and Super7. But we're here for VINTAGE TMNT, not 2k3...
- 1 new vintage character modified to not be "Too Playmates-esque"
- 1 classic Turtle Variant (ie: Sports, Music, disguised, etc.)
- 1 Redeco (ie: Mirage, Toon, Videogame)
- 1 New variant* (ie Wanderer Leo)
- 1 New Character* "Vintageized" (ie Karai)
- Toy yellow sweater
- Toon cyan sweater (replaces the purple sweater)
- Toy green vest
- Toy red skirt with petticoat
- Toon purple skirt
- Preserves most of the articulation
- Allows display options
- Can have a powered up Muramasa Irma look inspired by Mutant Turtles Gaiden.

- $50 for both figure and I'm taking into account the extra accessories.
- $60 for the Diorama piece.
- $40 for the "extra stuff" that isn't needed.

Joey Gladstone has cancer.
Dave Coulier, known mostly as Joey from Full House, has Cancer. Stage 3 Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. I fucking hate Cancer, but the news aren't entirely grim, as it hasn't spread out and it has a high level of survivability.
The Amazon Live Action Lara Croft is...
Sansa Stark... the former Jonas Brother wife is now Lara Croft. Or closing negotiations if we want to get technical.
Honestly, I don't know how to feel about this choice. I mean, she's a decent actress but I don't see Lara Croft when I look at Sophie Turner. I see Barbara Gordon instead of Lara Croft. And by Barbara Gordon, I mean Oracle era Barbara Gordon, not a Batgirl era Babs.
In any case I'm worried, since this series has the stench of Dial of Destiny with Indy's replacement helming the project.
I mean, they can't screw it up worse than the animated series, right??
We'll find out in 2025-2026... probably.

Shredder Variants: The Rant
Just as I did April, I'm doing Shredder... not in that way, you sickos.
Puerto Rico Comic Con 2025 revealed a YUUUUUUGE Surprise.
A guest that will most likely cancel his appearance. He appeared in Back to the Future 2...
Yup... the Protagonist of The Good Son... the movie were Macaulay Culkin is the bad guy.
I hear he is as tall as the hobbitses. I mean, I'd rather have the Fat Hobbitses from Encino Man who was also a Ninja Turtle...
Haley Joel Osment saw Sacerglow.
As in the Evil Ghost of Skeletor and Kevin Smith's Bastardization of MOTU's Hades. Tony Todd has passed away.
People think of Candyman when they hear his name... Me? The Aforementioned Scareglow, Spider-Man's Venom (the PS5 game), Darkseid on a few DC Projects, he was in Platoon too! Like he's been in a shifting of horror stuff AND kid friendly stuff, showing his range as an actor.
He was 69 (Heh heh) when he passed. My condolences to friends and Family. No cause of Death was revealed when I found the article.

Fans are making custom SF heads for Jada's USFIIT line and they're GLORIOUS
By SF I mean the best Live Action Feature Length Movie... the one with the coke fiend from Brussels, Mulan, Australia's best export outside of Steve Irwin and ways to die, and The Man, the myth, the legend...
Raúl Juliá.
While the USFIIT Body is not Screen Accurate, I'd KILL for heads for the entire USFIIT cast inspired by the Movie... Including Ernie Reyes Sr. As Akuma!!!
