I made a version of this rant already, but... I feel I should try again.
I got the Pizzaface figure to use its head for a custom Ultimates... Sadly, my plans hit a snag.
The Pizzaface figure and the figures toy company fat body aren't compatible. Due to his open mouth, I cannot dremmel the head to make it fit on the FTC neck. THE ALTERNATIVE, kills all neck articulation... since I'd be chopping off the FTC neck... back to the drawing board.
So, in order to rethink my strategy, I thought on making the vintage styled last hurrah.
I'll start with the Super7 dick move accessory pack:
Undercover Raph heads repainteed in Don the Undercover Turtle colors, UC Raph coat, UC Raph suitcase and gun in Don colors, Recolored NVG Goggles from UC Raph as a substitute for the Groucho mask.
TOON Shredder Soft Goods Tunic. Red Shredder Tunic. Wacky Action Shredder head
Now for the wave: 5 Items. 4 figures and an accessory pack. 3 Vintage character, 1 turtle variant.
Glam Rock Raphael:
Based on the vintage Heavy Metal Raph.
2 heads with different expressions.
Standard hands
Accessories:
Drumstick sais
Twirling sai effects
Bass guitar
2 Glam Rock Wigs that fit his heads.
Pizzaface:
Based on the rumored Pizzaface prototype by the 4 Horsemen.
If it wasn't included, use the prototype head with the meatball siamese twin
2 heads with different expressions.
Accessories:
Standard hands
Chef hat
Vintage peg legs
New pizza peel peg leg
More tossable pizzas
Soft plastic pizza dough.
We lose the pizza shield, something something Playmates.
General Traag:
Krang's General is an obvious choice. I'm gonna be a dick and make him a $75-80 figure...
Not just because of his size, but he'll be a 2-in-1 figure.
A snap on upper torso piece to make Granitor.Heads:
Traag head
Granitor head
Srandard Hands
Accessories:
Snap on Granitor upper chest (hard plastic)
Gun
Rifle
Knife
Flamethrower
Fire effect
Dask the Neutrino:
Essentially Toon Dask in order to have a pair of Neutrinos.
2 heads
Standard hands
Accessories:
Jetpack
Repainted Zak hoverboard
Tracker
Blaster
Accessory pack: aka Roadkill Rodneys:
I'd toss in some other new and old accessories. EVIL Communicator, Oroku Saki head, Triceraton gun in Bebop color, Machete with scabbard for Rocksteady, Dramatic hands for Bebop and Rocksteady.
That's it for the final Ultimates line... but there are Deluxe redecos. Figures get 1 new piece. About $42 per figure.
Attila the Frog:
Genghis repaint with new flail.
"Mirage" April:
Dark skinned April with blue jumpsuit and brown boots. Gun is her accessory new perm hair head.
Rasputin the Mad Frog:
Gengis repaint with new bow and Splinter Arrow.
Skateboarding Mike:
Using the Slam dunk Don body with Rappin Mike Sneakers, Mondo Gecko Skateboard and Paety wagon helmet.
This isn't vintage accurate, but vintage inspired.
TOON Napoleon Bonafrog:
Genghis repaint with a bendy snake whip.
Surfer Leo:
A repaint of Sewer Surfin' Mike with Surfboard and Sewer Samurai Leo sword.
These deluxes would be "released"/preordered on ither montsh where there aren't turtles stuff... ie the final wave. Not all deluxes would be released at the same time. It would be A Frog and another figure.
