I have a Playmates six inch Leonardo and Raphael coming and they will be Advent Calendar material. So this got me thinking:
"If Playmates stopped ⅛assing things, they could have the DEFINITIVE TMNT figures."
Taking the overused 6 inch Classic/Elite TMNT Body but with new heads, Belts, and Accessories to give these turtle boys an oomph! The Belts would be the Playmates OG line styled Belts and the Playmates OG line skintones. The heads would be based on the vintage toys too. I guess you already know where I'm going with this.
Leonardo:
This one is the simplest:
Heads:
-Vintage OG Leonardo
-Talking Leonardo
-Head Droppin' Leonardo
Accessories:
-His 2 Katanas
-3 Shuriken (SOTO Release)
-mace from wacky action Leonardo
-Foot Bopper from Movie Star Leonardo
Donatello:
Now for Donatello:
Heads:
-Vintage OG Donatello
-wacky action Donatello
-Storage Shell Donatello
Accessories:
-Bo staff
-Sewer Swimming floater with spear
-Thermal Goggles from Undercover Raph
-Don's Sewer squirter Role Playing toy made in figure scale.
Raphael:
Raph gets the following:
Heads:
-Vintage OG Raph
-Talking Raph
-Ninja Action Raph
Accessories
-Pair of Sai
-Katar blade
-Boomerang from Storage Shell Raph
-pair of tonfa
Michelangelo:
The last Turtle:
Heads:
-OG Mike
-wacky action Mike
- Talking Mike
-Pair of chucks with real chain
-wacky action sansetsukon
-grappling hook with rope
-cold cut chucks from the SOTO Release.
I could add more stuff but I'm trying to keep them on the $20 to $25 range. Hell, I'd be willing to reach the $35 range if we get a fourth Head and interchangeable hands:
The existing articulated finger hands
C-grips
Fists
Chopping hands
The reasoning for the C-grips is for the figures to properly grab the weapons without dropping them, which is a main gripe with these. The proper fists and chopping hands are to cover the actions the articulated hands can't do properly.
Announce a modified Cowabunga Carl Van amd people may be a bit excited. Hell, you could even shrink these to be 5.5 inches so the bad guys are 6 inches and feel in-scale.
