Creating new TMNT characters another rant part 2?

 Back I am. I still need to make more figures for the subfactions I mentioned...

So I did:
Generic heroes and villains, Neutrinos, fake turtles for both sides... 

So that means, Foot and Krang's Rock Army should be tackled ASAP...

Krang's Rock Army:
Granitor, Traag, and army building stone warriors would be part of this, BUT 
They are preexisting characters. I'm talking about adding new characters here.

Basaltion:
As his name implies, his rocky torso should be Basalt pillar inspired, particularly on his back.
I'm thinking a young Charlton Heston vibes for his face. 
Heads:
Normal head with removable helmet
Planet of the Apes ending inspired head
Accessories:
Regulation stone soldier gun
Regulation stone soldier knife
Regulation stone soldier rifle
Gorilla skull baton 

A stone soldier who became notorious for his excessive use of violence, especially towards non-rock primates, hominids in particular.
Yes, it's a nod to Charlton Heston and Planet of the apes. 

Shaleah:
An abnormal Stone soldier as it has a mostly smooth female looking body minus the bits that have flaked off to give her a rock appearance close to her source rock, Shale.  Visually, she should resemble Brigitte Nielsen Circa Rocky 4.
On her back she should have a baby Red Dragon with a yellow crest (nod to Ivan Drago). I'm assuming that s7 Traag might be 8-9 inches in height. She should be about 8 inches tall. A one piece swimsuit style leotard and boots would be her clothing. The leotard is torn off in "safe spots" but her "rocky mountains" must be covered in cloth.
Heads:
Neutral
Angry 
Prone position

Accessories:
Huge Sniper rifle with attache case (some assembly required)
The gun should be 16 inches long when fully assembled.
Regulation stone soldier gun
Regulation stone soldier knife
Hammer
Sickle
2 Throwing flakes 

Prefers to fight from afar due to her fragile nature. But she can still fight up close if necessary. Born from a bad batch of stone soldiers, Sheila had to prove herself worthy in the Rock Warrior culture.

Pabblitz:
The body should be roughly MOTUC sized and similar built, but rounded rocky... like most pebbles. Only sporting black trunks and boots. The face should have a The Rock Caricature vibe kind of thing. Not current Dwayne Johnson, but Fannypack staircase meme as main inspiration.
Heads:
Normal expression
Screaming slightly deranged and doing the people's eyebrow.
Accessories:
Egyptian styled sword
Egyptian styled shield with Krang as a Pharaoh emblazoned on it.
Oversized gun
Grenade launcher

A more streamlined stone warriors as he was made from river pebbles. Like Shaleah, he is always at odds with the other stone soldiers, since hesseen as tiny (a nod to Kevin Hart)

That does it for Krang's stone soldiers... let's do the feet now.

Shredder loyalists:
This will be a small group of characters made for Tatsu (assuming the Sega Genesis Tatsu gets made.) Also, I'm assuming "Mirage Foot Ninja" and "Mirage Shredder Elite Guard" got made as well.

Kawasu:
He'd reuse the Foot Ninja arms and legs with Tatsu's Torso. New soft goods tunic with the Kanji for wind on the back.
Heads:
Unmasked head.
Foot ninja head
Tengu head

Accessories:
Fuuma shuriken
2 wakizashi
2 kunai

The idea is to have a somewhat traditional Ninja to act as Tatsu's  second in command. His personality is to be Stoic as a rock, but once he let's loose he's like a hurricane.

Boei:
This one requires a MOTUC styled body. If 4 armed Shredder hasn't  been made, then we could use this dude to premake the legs. Using Wacky Action Shredder as inspiration for the sculpt, but switching the bladed shinguards to non bladed versions. The hanging loincloth on the back should be painted in tiger pattern. His torso is bare and only covered by the straw cape. His arms are bare and sport foot Clan armguards.

Heads:
Unmasked
Foot ninja mask
Namahage mask

Accessories:
Oni club
Straw cape
Oversized chef's knife

The idea is to have a "brute" character
Hence the usage of the MOTUC body, which is bigger and stronger than the TMNT bucks. While Tatsu is a self professed "oni", boei was made a Namahage to avoid confusion 

Damasu:
The body is a Foot Soldier body with Foot ninja arms. (The hunched pose is a necessity)
Heads:
Unmasked head
Foot ninja head
Kappa mask

Accessories:
Naginata
Kusarifundo
Ninjato

Damasu was given the Kappa mask, due to his depravity and deceitful nature. While skilled in combat he can get distracted easily due to his lecherous nature. Kōgeki being the usual target of his inappropriate behavior. But whenever She's in trouble he jumps to the fray like a perverted knight.

Kōgeki:
The only female of the group, would reuse a lot of parts from Karai. The only new parts would be crotch and torso overlay. (Pieces could be reused on Aska or Jennika)
Heads:
Unmasked head
Foot ninja head
Komainu head

Accessories:
Pair of Kama
SF Matador styled claws
Pair of Kunai

As a female on Tatsu's elite unit, Kōgeki has had to prove herself. Despite disliking Damasu's advances, they make a formidable team.

That's it for the Shredder Loyalist Foot Clan faction.

Let me take a break and do Channel 6 crew.
This is assuming we got Vernon, Burne, and Irma. 

Alonzo Gennaio:
Picture a Tony Danza Lookalike with a Thick well kept Mustache. Wearing a blazer shirt with tie, slacks and dress shoes. The only thing breaking his immaculate look is a piece of TP stuck to his right shoe. (Removable accessory that plugs to underfoot hole.)
Heads:
Smug well kept head
Disheveled head (5 o clock shadow messed up hair)

Accessories:
Oversized shaving Razor
Taut Leather shield
Channel 6 pass
Microphone 
Bludgeoning mirror

Channel 6's morning anchor. A bit arrogant, but usually well meaning. As a former war correspondent he suffers from PTSD and that can wreck his usual calm demeanor.

Anna Mayweather:
Channel 6's Meteorologist. She should look like a Brunette Dom Mommy. Her outfits are varied.
The sculpted outfit is a sleeveless dark blue blouse with a bit more visible cleavage than vanilla April, neon green tights and thigh high black boots. For some reason my brain is thinking of Tiffani Thiessen as a reference for her face.

Heads:
Ponytail Head (Think Lara Croft)
Hairbun head (Think Sarah Palin)
Loose hair Head

Soft goods Outfits:
-Blue short sleeved jumper with belt. (Think a cross between Mirage April and Toon April)
-yellow rain poncho 
- red turtleneck dress with stylish Black belt.

Accessories:
Umbrella with hidden sword 
Microphone with telescoping billyclub (1 is collapsed, the other is exrended.)
Channel 6 pass
Removable glasses
Desert Eagle

Miss Mayweather is a firecracker. She has been in various disasters during her career as weathergirl. From Hurricanes down in Florida to Blizzards all the way in Alaska. She's no pushover and knows her way around guns, bows, and swords. Her domineering personality is what keeps her single, despite being a 19 in the 1 to 10 scale. 

Dylan Tachwedd:
Scrappy guy in his early twenties strawberry blond hair and freckles. Sporting a Channel 6 Jumpsuit in Welsh green with red and white accents he wears the jumpsuit as pants with the top tied at his waist. Sporting a coffee stained Channel 6 T-shirt. On his head a Channel 6 cap in bright greencontrasts with his reddish hair.

Heads:
Cap head with rotating cap.
Capless head neutral expression
Capless head with black eyw swollen cheek and bandaid on nose.

Special hands:
Left writing hand
Right Martial arts "come on! hand
Accessories:
Channel 6 pass
Camera
Nunchuck
Tonfa
Tray with coffee cups
Notepad

An intern who ends up doing all the jobs too dirty for Irma. He is always willing to prove himself and also moonlights as a member of his neighborhood watch, so he often goes to work battered and bruised. Extremely optimistic but oblivious when dealing with women. 

Julia LaMarche:
You know the "Mom, I want X!" "But we got X at home." Meme? We'll, Julia is the "We got April O'Neil at home." And that's part of her shtick. From the Neck Down, she's a replica of the Playmates April II figure, but in the Orange and Blue Accents of the OG April Repaint. Same skintone as April and Same neck ball joints as Vanilla April. (So you can swap heads)
Heads:
Ashen Blonde April II sculpt
Ashen Blonde Judith Hoag as April inspired sculpt.

Accessories:
Ninja April Camera
Removable belt with holster for gun
Gun
Microphone whip
Channel 6 pass

When April left Channel 6 to temporarily become a freelance reporter, Julia jumped at the chance. An expert manipulator, she had most male employees wrapped around her pinky finger. She's prone to using every dirty trick in the book to get what she wants... the truth and for April to disappear in a Sewer or something that stops her from ever returning to Channel 6.

Yes all the folks here have months names...

Now let's do Karai's followers. Again, this is assuming we got Foot Ninja, Shredder's Elite, and Female Foot Assassin.

Kaminari:
Basically a Foot ninja body with New bandoliers to hold dual katanas. New puffy sleeved Ninja arms.
Heads:
Foot Ninja Mask
Unmasked head with long dyed blond hair with black roots. Think a more Japanese looking Raiden (MGS2)

Accessories:
Pair of high tech katanas
Kunai with chain
Gitd Lightning effect for blades.

A not so subtle nod to Tmnt and the relationship with Konami. A force to be reckoned with, but as the team's rookie, he's a bit naive.

Orochi:
Using the Shredder Elite head and Foot Ninja body, we add a new Bandolier that holds various pouches (meant to have Caltrops, kunai, and other throwing weapons.) He also sports a soft goods poncho

Heads:
Shredder Elite head
Unmasked head (Think a more Japanese looking Big Boss Without eyepatch.)

Accessories:
Katana
Kusarigama
Sansetsukon
Pair of jitte

Originally a squad mate of Oroku Nagi, the man now known as Orochi abandoned his name when he failed to protect Nagi. Now he is giving his everything to protect Oroku Karai, even if it means fighting against the Shredder.

Katsuguchi:
Foot Ninja body with arms painted as sleeves torso has a bandolier that has a peg on the back to plug in the fuel tanks with new armguards with hidden Flame throwers.

Heads:
Foot Ninja Bandana head with the fire Kanji to both sides of the Foot Insignia.
Unmasked head with half his face covered in burn scars.

Accessories:
Flame effects for his flamethrower
Flame effects for his sword
Sword
Shuriken
Flaming kunai (kunai with Flame scroll tied to its end)
Kama sword

To say he's  a hothead, it's an understatement. After being burned as a child, he grew obsessed with fire and has become a bit of a fire freak... (nudge nudge wink wink.)

Amerikajin:
By the name, you can guess he's a Dudikoff. But it's a She...
Reusing the Karai body with New crotchpiece and torso overlay that looks like a half zipped up Ninja hoodie.

Heads:
Female Foot ninja head
Blonde bobcut 
Traditional Ninja hood and mask

Weapons:
Shuriken
Ninjato
Cat claws
Silenced UZI
Silenced M1911

Born in Yokosuka and Raised in America, Washi Washington, daughter of an American Soldier and a Foot Kunoichi, learned the ancient Ninja arts by her mother until she was taken to Japan for officially becoming a Foot Ninja. Karai took an interest in the young hafu as many within the clan shunned her for being "a mongrel". Now she loyally serves Karai.

Krang's Bounty Hunters and Mercenaries:
Not an official faction Per se, but a group of characters that have been hired by Krang for missions where he doesn't trust Shredder to fulfill them. 

Sabertooth Tony:
It's a Sabertooth Tiger with literal sabers as his canines that can detach and be used as actual swords. He is also dressed as a New York Made Man, capisci?  
Heads:
"Vintage" styled Head with cheek gaps to hold his sabers.
New "gums" head without sabers.
New Saber head with holes to plug in soft plastic teeth for display purposes. 

Accessories:
Soft pluggable saber teeth for head 3.
2 sabers
Reuse Ace Duck's Tommy gun 
Plate of Spaghetti with meatballs.

A former Mobster crossed paths with Shredder after a gang war. Using the DNA of a Sabretooth Tiger, Shredder turned this made man into a made cat. Krang took advantage of this and unleashed him on Dimension X in order to subdue the Neutrinos.

Terrorpin:
It's a Robotic Turtle think something like a robotic Tokka crossed with Mecha Godzilla.
The Bottom half of its backshell has rocket boosters and the top half has razor sharp spikes. The hands have the capability to transform into weapons.
Heads:
Neutral head 
Mouth laser firing head
Accessories:
Mouth laser charging energy effect
Laser sword hands
Jet thrust effects
Missile finger firing hands with plug in missiles.
Clear stand with firing finger missile effects

Rocksteady and Bebop were watching too many Kaiju movies when Krang noticed the Monsters and decided to make a Robot inspired by the Kaiju to fight the Turtles. Bebop and Rocksteady tried to add improvements and the Kaiju ended up being normal person sized.

Pounder:
A Silver back Gorilla with robotic arms. Had he been made in the 80s-90s he'd have springloaded pinball launcher styled arm pistons for his pounding action. The robotics would extend to the shoulder blades, spine and crotch. The "backpack" piece on his back houses the brain of a serial killer who beat his targets to a pulp.

Heads: 
Neutral
Angry

Accessories:
Knuckle dusters
Push knives
Laser blasters

An experiment by the late Professor Victor von Verrückt. Pounder is a Silverback Gorilla enhanced by Cybernetics and the brain of a serial killer.

R:
An anthropomorphic Velociraptor. I don't mean a big Utahraptor, no I'm talking or a Vintage TMNT figure sized Raptor... when the Raptor is standing hunched over like his dinosaur Counterpart. While standing like a human, it should be roughly Ninja April's height. His legs should be thick and muscular in comparison to the slim muscular arms.
For his clothing a feathered Jacket with silver pauldrons various bandoliers with pouches adorn his chest under the jacket. He also sports red knee length pants and metal shinguards.
Heads:
Normal head with articulated jaw 
Plumed Battle helmet head 

Weapons:
Pair of sickle blasters (Handgun sized blaster with a bladed handguard)
Pair of karambit styled raptor blades
Tail axe

Essentially something similar to Triceratons, but based on the infamous Raptors. I even added references to the changes on Raptors based on scientific findings.

The All New Mind-blowing Mutanimals:
The OG Mutanimals were supposed to die, so having a new team kinda makes sense, especially since the Vintage line never had officially presented the Mutanimals. 

Hip Hopp:
Essentially a Rapper Rabbit with gold plated teeth a backwards Baseball cap with the ears popping out of the adjustment hole wearing g a wife beater and cargo pants with sneakers made for his rabbit feet. Sporting lots of chains and rings all blinged out
Heads:
Neutral
Angry
Smoking carrot

Special hands:
West Coast hand sign hands.

Accessories:
Mic Nunchaku
Dual tec 9 in orange and green
Boom box
Gold plated Baseball Bat
Wineglass with carrot juice.

The rabbit should be brown, so it doesn't seem like a blatant gangsta Bugs Bunny reference. It's a gangbanging rapper rabbit.

Quack Shot!:
A Sharpshooter Duck who wears a gaudy cowboy suit similar to the Gaudy suit Marty wore in BTTF3. 
Heads:
Determined
Nervous

Special hands:
Juggling hands with presculpted juggling effect and revolvers being juggled.

Accessories:
Ten gallon hat
Cowboy belt with 3 revolver holsters
3 revolvers (from Raph UC Turtle)
Removables soft goods poncho and metal plate armor.

The duck should be colored like a Mallard (green head, brown body).  Yes, he's meant to be a Daffy reference. The character came after the crack shot punny name.

Hot Wings:
An anthropomorphic American Buffalo with a winged jetpack. Wearing an airforce field Uniform custom made for his American Buffalo body all the way to the custom Bufflao Boots.
Heads:
Neutral expression
Crazy High speed flying

Accessories:
Beretta
M249
STINGER Missile Launcher (I swear it's not a Metal Gear Solid reference.)
Six winged Jetpack

A bit of Buffalo Soldier and Buffalo Wings were the inspiration for the character. He's a man tuened into a buffalo.

Whaleiam:
Anthropomorphic Orca dressed like a fisherman. Orange wader overalls, blue tanktop with hole for fin. 
No alt heads just articulated jaw.

Accessories:
Harpoon gun
Oversized trident 
Oversized spear with rope

A whaler named William Freed vaught an Orca that had an Ooze canister wedged on its teeth and, the Hunter became his own prey. He joined the new Mutanimals to atone for his past sins.

There you have it. More new character ideas
