As I have done other variants for other characters that can pull this off, it's Karai's turn.
Let's list the usual suspects, shall we?
Disguised
Sports
Music
Undercover
Martial Arts
Glow in the Dark
Mirage
Disguised:
This one is a bit tough. I want something way different from Normal Karai.
So...
I have a crazy idea. SHERWOOD Karai!!
It combines elements of Karai: Criminal with a code of honor, expert at swordfighting and archery. Plus, most of the parts are already made. All we need is a tunic overlay, crotch, Forearms and Shins. And a Karai head with a Robin Hood hat.
Sports:
Tennis Karai:
Karai dressed in a black and red Tennis outfit.
Heads:
With Tennis visor
Bandana head
Special hands:
Ball holding hands
Accessories:
Pair of Tennis racquets
Multiple tennis balls (one of them is a cartoon bomb painted like a tennis ball, the second one is a spiked ball, third is a normal tennis ball)
Turtle catching net with stands (to use as a tennis net)
Music:
Idol Karai:
Basically Karai dressed as a J-Pop Idol. I won't be going into details here.
Undercover:
This one is so easy and so difficult at the same time. No, I can't put a trenchcoat over Karai and call it a day. She's getting a trenchcoat, but she needs a new body. Can't reuse April's since her Undercover had her disguised as a Foot kunoichi and a trenchcoat alternate look. The look is for Japanese reporter Oniiru Shigatsu. (More or less April O'Neil in Japanese) Essentially, this is to make an April 2.0 body and prereleasing it with Karai. Mainly a new Torso and crotch so Karai and the eventual April 2.0 can match in height with Karai and Ninja April.
The new torso and crotch could take Inspiration from playmates' own April II. Her color palette would be purple with tan accents as a nod to Mirage.
Heads:
Normal Karai head no bandana or facemask
Karai with hair in a Ponytail. (Hairstyle should be reminiscent of Irma.)
Karai with hat
Accessories:
Pair of Mic-Kunai
Camera gun from April 1.
Removable Glasses for ponytailed head
Press pass
Trenchcoat
Martial Arts Movie Inspired:
Essentially Karai dressed as Uma Thurman from Kill Bill vol.2.
Heads:
No bandana
Bandana
Accessories:
Katana with scabbard
Handgun
Party Wagon Keychain
Mirage:
Super7 didn't give us a true Mirage Karai: it was a combination of Mirage and 2003. A Mirage Karai would be closer to Tournament Fighters, which would be a valid variant.
There are a few images of Karai in a Catsuit. Well, I COULD take advantage of That Karai AND plus her up so well that it might male people want to get 2!
You know what's coming: Mutatin' Karai into Lady Shredder.
Alt Shredder head
Slip on neck piece with hinged shoulder spikes
Slip on arm spikes and strap on leg spikes.
Extra Shredder fists and Dramatic hands complete the alternate look.
Add the standard Fists, C-grips, and dramatic hands with a Katana to complete the look.
(Dis)Honorable Mention:
Volume 4 Karai:
Based on the issue where she may have stuck Casey's bat in her hoo-ha!
Karai sporting the new hairstyle from that issue. The body would be a black bikini with interchangeable feet
Accessories:
Soft good shirt
Soft good pants
Soft goods robe
Toss in some concealable Ninja weapons for good measure.
Reuse 2 Scumbug Roaches (reference to the time April and Renet became cockroaches and had a cockaroach orgy.)
What the Actual Fuck? She's too good for me but not for fucking Cockroaches!? Fuckdammit! I'm going to get to Etheria and Lovemake Glimmer's brains out! So, fuck you too, Nefty!
No...
That's it for Karai. Now we must wait for further figures. That is if US Politics don't kill the lines with more price increases due to the infamous tariffs.
