TMNT and Vehicles: A Mattel Rant

 I truly hope we get some for the "adult collector Chronicle/WWE scale" line. That way those of us who have slambulances, lucha low riders, slammobiles and slamcycles can still use them. Also, I wonder if havig the Master License allows Mattel access to work done by Playmates under contract to Mirage...

Turtle Van/Party Wagon:
Let us start with the obvious one: The van.
I mean it's a yelpow and green van... add some play features and call it a day.

Villain vehicle:
Depending on what they're going here, they have plenty of stuff to choose from. While I'd like a Foot Cruiser-like vehicle, I'd be open for something different. Like a Rocksteady themed Jeep styled vehicle. A Bebop SUV... not the Toitle Tenderizer...

Casey Vehicle:
The options are limited: Realistically, a Bike for Vigilante mode Casey and a Beater pick-up Truck for non-vigilante Casey.
Or if Mattel wants to be fancy, give him an older muscle car.

April Vehicle:
Here, the options depend on which direction they go with their continuity. Whether it's a News van for the Fred Wolfverse inspired, or a normal vehicle for other continuities, it's up to them.

Cheapskates:
These should be sold at a cheaper price, maybe pack them with character specific accessory packs.

If we are getting Fred Wolfverse characters, then:

Footski:
Mainly because Rat King.

Transport Module:
Both modes: 
The smaller Elevator kind and the larger tank kind.

Look at the old games for ideas... and even MOTU/Max Steel and other Mattel lines to copy...







Kojima has been given the Boot by Sony

 They seem to be loving taking L after L.


XBOX is now partners with Kojima to bring Physint to life... 


As much as I have gripes regarding Kojima and his ego, having a new Metal Gear styled game is printing money. I'm guessing this is payback for Kojima defending physical media.

I fear that post 2028 might mean I end up getting an XboX...

More Zelda News:

 Hasbro will be selling the Master Sword as a role play toy.

It has electronics... but you know what we need? A Role Play non-functional Electronic Ocarina that plays the OoT songs...

IGN has a list of changes from N64 to Switch 2 versions of Ocarina based on what Nintendo revealed. Coolest one to me is that you can hum or play real life instruments and the game will recognize the songs.

You know you thought of that too...

Unlike Squareenix, Nintendo understood the assignament

 To the point where I MAY get a Switch 2 post 2028.

There is nothing I can say that would make the trailer Justice... looks like Ocarina of Time, sounds like Ocarina of Time, but with graphical upgrades and voice acting. All in One game... not a Young Link game with an Adult Link sequel on the Switch 3.

Mattel and TMNT accessories and Miscellaneous: A rant:

 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.

Target, what the hell!?

 Target, who used to be super woke, has now this:


What in Mr. Popo and Jinx's name is this thing!?

But part of me, the one wearing tinfoil hats is all like:
This is a message to MAGA showing that they're not woke and to please return to their stores.

Betcha they'll put the costume back but with a white kid...

It came from the Toy Chest: This isn't M.Tyson.

 It's a Boxer played by 50 cent. I forgot to tale the boxed pic long ago...
So, Balrog, the last Shadaloo King.
He's the Disgraced Boxer who joined Bison to beat people up for fun... 

Articulation:
We know what to expect from Jada... he's well articulated. Waist twist scares me a little, though.
4.5

Paint and sculpt:
He looks the part and most of him is molded in the proper color.
His missing tooth is a void innthe sculpt and not paint.
5.0

Accessories:
Alternate head
Alternate hands
Punch effects
5.0


Overall:
Boxer gets a 4.83 as his final score. If his waist twist didn't give me a scare that it's so tight it might break he'd be perfect.

Bonus review:

Logan Paul basic figure. Yeah, I bought a $20 basic figure... curse mom and pop pharmacy prices. Some insufferable little shit YouTuber turned wrestler.


Articulation:
He's basically the equivalent to Rey Mysterio from the Lucha Lowrider... but with a different body. Same articulation as the Kid Core MOTU.
4.0

Paint and sculpt:
Looks like Logan Paul but with less paint detail.
4.5

Accessories:
N/A


OVERALL:
Logan Paul gets a 4.25 as his final score. I disagree with the math, but the math don't lie.

Not Groovy news... Bruce Campbell has about 5 years to live.


Bruce Campbell has about 5 years to live. Fucking Cancer...
That royally sucks. An incurable but treatable cancer with a 5 year prognosis.

This means his Convention appearances will greatly reduce... but to be fair, his health comes first.





That's all I know Bruce Campbell from... Hopefully next time I wrote about him is that the cancer went into remission.

Ramen recent figures, a rant:

Ramen Toy... the third party company that treats copyright as a suggestion, has made a few updates.

New Dukes... Daisy has new shorts

Old Daisy

Sadly the good ol' boys and girl require preordering the car... same thing with Miguel Caballero and the Feenycar.



You remember the Not He-Man and not Skeletor? Here they are updated... Ramen will be at Power-con. 

They look great for "bootlegs"... as in They're unofficial. I'm not mocking the quality.
I did review the stand... and it was good.what I've seen from Ramen, aside some technical hiccups on vehicles, has been good.

But here's where I'm going to go on a different direction:
What other 80s Properties can they try their 1/12 game?

I won't mention The A-Team... because it's obvious...

Mega Carpenter Brothers:

Danny Wells ans Lou Albano, that's what I want.
While we're at it.

8-Bit Master Gamer 

I'm looking at the Live Action Kevin... if we can get the others, sweet! 
I really want Theodore Montebello, Vampire Hunter... the Princess, Mega-hi, and Cherubicus.

Black Nerd:
He was big in the 90s, but started in the 80s.
You know you want him...

The Three Dad Family:
Mainly because I want a Bob Saget figure.

The teens from Calindiana:
Self explanatory 

Hawaiian Private Eye:
This one is mainly for my Mom...

McMullet:

April 8, 27: FFVII:R:3 kinda physical

 Squareenix confuses me.

They have a preorder on their site.



Only the collector's edition mentions having the full game physically... so what's the deal? Is it a digital key or do we get a partial install requiring a digital download, which is kinda a dick move when the collector's edition is sold out. Shitty move by SE if so... I'll probably preorder the day one edition.

Hasbro is getting ridiculous with the prices.

 You know who to thank besides good old greed...

Tariff-Man...


Let us remember what these figures used to cost:
$8... now they fluctuate from $28 to $40. 

Seems I may be quitting ML too... need to get that Classified Shipwreck and I believe I complete the Ballad of GI Joe... I think I have Gung Ho... 

"But Nefty, you pay those prices for BBWS figures"

They are a smaller company and not Freaking Hasbro. And have detail that is comparable or better than Hasbro.
Hell, I support Figures Toy Company...

Street Fighter 2nd Trailer

 Has Dan, Zangief, Dhalsim stretching, E.Honda and hints of Evil Ryu.

Holy shit! We have another Masters of the Universe here... there I said it. Won't be Assassin's Fist good but better than the 94 movie Minus Raúl Juliá. Also, trailer was relased on a Tuesday.

Elon Musk won't play GTA6

 Elon Musk says he won't play GTA6 Because he doesn't like to kill NPCs, much less the police.

This is just as stupid as the women Claiming GTA6 = adultery. Seriously, is there something in the water that is making people absolute morons... playing a crime simulator game and getting mad at the game having the player commit crimes...

I can't even...

Aug 31, 2026

Stupidest thing ever: playing GTA6 = Cheating on youe partner.

 I don't know if this is ragebait or if this is women being stupid... not all women.

But this has caught IGN's attention, which in turn caught mine. 

Seriously, what the actual fuck? Women are jealous of polygons, pixels. Zeroes and ones...

What's worse is that to look for that clip, Blogger ignored my query and looked for other stuff... when I went to YouTube it put me on a suicide help screen that wouldn't go away despite me clicking the Show anyway button.

So

Mattel's TMNT seem to be waiting on Mutant Mayhem 2

 Which is delayed to August 2027. If this is true, then it sucks. Not only because the Mutant Mayhem designs suck, but that means 3 quarters without TMNT product.

I'm hoping for a Masterverse or Chronicles styled line for TMNT and not just MM2...

Because seriously, if we miss 2 Qs of TMNT Merch that we could've gotten from NECA and Super7...

Remember what Mattel took from us...

Final Fantasy VII part 3 trailer 2

 Seems that Ruby and Emerald may be Mandatory bosses as they have cutscenes from vehicular fighting and we also parachute to places from the Highwind.


 I fear the minigames if they are more kike Cait Sith's box bullshit.

I only hope that we actually get a disk version of this game. Because it is kind of shady knowing that I have the first 2 games in physical, and then that will be digital.

I want to see a confirmation that the Kebab girl at the end of Rebirth is JENOVA manipulating Cloud.

We need a true TANKCERATOPS!!



Capcom will celebrate Resident Evil's 30th with life sized statues of characters.

 Among them are Albert Wesker and Ara ara Dommy Mommy Dimitrescu. That is all. At least they aren't doing life sized sex dolls or anything.




Yeah, there are Resident Evil sex dolls... No Claire, Sheva, Rebecca, or Grace dolls so far...

But look who made it to the Sex doll list... there's also one from Death Stranding... but forgot to take a screenshot.
Shit, Shenmue has gotten big enough to get a sex doll.


Another "New Mutants" for TMNT rant

 I have been stuck in a rut lately, hence my delay on posting rants. So let's make more mutants...

Zavannah:
Female Zebra wearing a park ranger outfit (Like Steve Irwin) with weaponry to stop poachers.(gun, rifle, stun rod, wrangling pole)

Stanky Leg:
A mutant skunk with a robotic peg leg. He's wearing clothes reminiscent of Randy Savage... the tiedye tanktop look.
The tail should work as an alternate leg for display. For accessories Interchangeable peg legs a la trap jaw. Also, figure should stink like patchouli 

Pollock:
A large Mutated tortoise whose shell is a mess of paint splotches like a Jackson Pollock paint. Wearing a mawashi a removable wig made like a sumo topknot.
For accessories Tonfa. A hand that is throwing salt and a bowl of chankonabe.

Space Worm:
Mirage's worm colony that made the clone Shredder possible... essentially a Modulok type character entirely made out of tiny worms. Thw idea is that you can combine multiples to enlarge the size of the legion. (Technically a new character based on an existing concept)

Bathory:
A Female Punk Frog. Wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a bikini top and shorts. For accessories a stiletto knife.

Trueno the Panda:
A Panda Masked Wrestler that moonlights as a chinese food delivery bear. Picture a bearded Panda in a red and blue masked Luchador outfit
Alternate unmasked head. Delivery backpack.
It's a reference to Jack Black and Initial D. 
For weapon a steel chair.


It came from the Toy Chest: Sabotage completed.

 


I would've done this a lot sooner if Super7 didn't make preorders to Puerto Rico require insane amounts of shipping costs.

Now I have all 3 Sabotage figures... and I'm oK with it.



Articulation

The Rookie has standard Super7 Articulation.  He has a crotch ball joint and those scare me after the Jason I never reviewed because he broke.

4.5


Paint and sculpt 

Here The Rookie does pretty well. Not gonna lie the only nitpick I have is the forearms...

4.5



Accessories

The rookie has:
Briefcase with Money...
Coffee cup
Donut
Extra hands
Extra heads

5.0


Overall

The Rookie gets a 4.67 as his final score. Shame that Super7 is stingy on accessories... all 3 Sabotage figures could've used extra hands... mainly pew pew hands.

Top game characters for Hasbro to make

 There are rumors that they could be doing FFVII for the 30th anniversary. Ouch.
So here's  a list of characters that would be cool if they could make as a small line or added as guests to GI JOE.

Sam Fisher:
If Lara Made it to GI Joe, Sam Fisher *Needs* to make it.

Agent 47:
They practically have everything minus the head.

Metal Gear Solid:
This one lends itself for a sub line, but I'd take a MGS1 Snake with a second MGS2 styled head.
I would add: Liquid, Ocelot, Meryl, Otacon, Grey Fox.

Castlevania:
Personally I'd go with Simon Belmont, then the Symphony of the Night characters.

Uncharted:
Actual Uncharted stuff not Tom Holland.actual drake, sully, chloe, elena...

Street Fighter: (94 movie and game)
There were Joes from that movie... I just want a goddamned Raul Julia figure.

Shenmue:
Like there's no way I was going to sneak Hazuki into the list.

Final Fantasy VIII:
... Add triple triad cards as an accessory.

Punch out:
I'm totally not trying to make a Captain N roster.
