Mattel can be a bit lazy and cut corners like crazy... New Chronicles King Hiss is an example:
$33 and he doesn't come with his snake staff and they went beyond lazy with his snake body:
His Snake Body now uses a crappier version of Ssssqueeze's gimmick.Weapons Packs you dumb fucks!! Give us that!!
Which brings us to TMNT:
With Mattel being the mega misers with Accesories, The "Chronicles Type figures would be like:
Leonardo:
Alt head, alt hands 2 ninjato
Donatello:
Alt head, alt hands, bo
Splinter:
Alt head, alt hands, cane
Shredder:
Oroku Saki head, alt hands, maybe ninjato.
Casey Jones:
Alt head, alt hands, golf bag and golf club.
Weapons packs ya' dumb fucks!
Reusing the turtle weapons in Foot Clan colors helps arm the foot ninja, generic bats chains and other melee weapons "more suitable for wrestling" could be used for Casey or certain Gang oriented characters, like Rocksteady and Bebop.
Problem is that Mattel hasn't done accessory packs in ages... they should get to that. But they should... and bring more Ooze... in classic green and retro toon purple.
A Diorama Playset consisting of a back wall and base with a cpuple of accessories can be a way to bring weapons packs without weapons packs.
