While I say Vintage Variants, it's not limited to only the characters that had that variant... for example, Warriors of the Forgotten Sewer we only had Leo, Don, Rocksteady, and Bebop. No Raph or Mike. So, I'd add a Raph the Rogue and Mike the Bard... Archmage Splinter, Dreadlknight Shredder could work too.
But there are some variants that are Turtle exclusive like say: Head Droppers.
Mutant Military:
I NEED Lieutenant Leo, like Yesterday, especially if his vest can be removed...
Yes, I'm so gonna steal the undercover Raphael trench coat to put it on that body and vanilla Leo head. Do I even need to explain the
reference?
If they make the Midshipman Mike hat removable... I could not only make Shenmue references, but Metal Gear Solid references with Mikey being Old Snake.
BUUUUUUUUT, IF Playmates is a little bitch How About Mutant Military III?
Underwater infiltrator Mike:
Picture Mike in a Grey and black outfit with dull orange accents. Think a mix of Navy SEAL Mike and Solid Snake with the latter being a bigger influence.
Heads:
Full scuba gear
Maskless Mike with camo facepaint
Maskless Mike without facepaint
Acc:
Mk23 with laser sight and supressor
MRE Pizza
MGS1 Snake wig
MGS2 Snake wig
CQC nunchaku
SDV (loosely inspired by Sewer swimming Donatello's)
Legionnaire Raph:
Dressed as a member of the French Foreign Legion but with a few Raph Red Accents.
Heads:
Legionnaire hat head
Van Damme hairstyle maskless head
Accessories:
Legionnaire Axe
FAMAS
Sai
French Beretta
French bread pizza
Spetsnaz Don:
Picture Donatello in a Spetsnaz uniform with the striped tanktop peeking from the jacket
Heads:
Red beret head
Gas Mask head
Accessories:
Ballistic knife
Dragunov Sniper Rifle.
Makarov
Collapsible staff
Mockba pizza
Desert Special Forces Leonardo:
Imagine Leonardo wearing a Desert camo pants with a soft goods khaki tanktop a removable plastic sleeveless camo vest.
Heads Maskless serious head
Screaming head
Accessories:
Rambo knife styled Katana
M16
Rocket launcher
Van Damme Guile wig
Liquid Snake wig
MGS2 Snake wig in black.
Vagrant Veteran Casey Jones:
Picture Casey with a Red tanktop with a soft goods jacket and Duffelbag
Heads
Unmasked
With a makeshift facemask
Accessories
Rambo knife
Soft goods poncho
Duffelbag
Makeshift golf club
M160
Disguised Wave:
We still Need Don the Undercover Turtle, but I'd like to see other characters entering the "Disguised" wave.
I won't go into details, but here are the characters I want to see:
Casey
April
Rocksteady
Bebop
Slash
Karai
"Mirage" Turtles:
The Ninja Action Turtles Look Mirage-ish with the little tails. The body could be used as an "inspiration" for these ultimates.
See the Storage Shell Mike and Leo for that "Mirage-esque" style for heads. Mimic that for all 4 Turtles, add the "modern heads". Give them the brown belts and pads while keeping the individual skin tones but all red bandana and we're done.
Superheroes:
Essentially, TMNT characters making parodies of Heroes/antiheroes, and villains of existing characters... but completely ignoring Playmates vintage attempts.
Tungsten Turtle:
Donatello sporting a Metal Armor (reuse some Metalhead parts) as a nod to Ironman.
He'd have 2 heads:
Full helmet
Peeled back helmet (see Grey Fox helmet from MGS as reference) with visible face
Stunt-Turtle:
Michelangelo wearing an Orange and Green suit inspired by DareDevil's armored and Yellow with red outfits. The pouches for his Nunchucks would be on both legs.
He'd have 2 heads:
Blind bandana (black suit pre-daredevil Murdock)
Horned Cowl
Nightwatcher:
Vintagizing the CGI movie Nightwatcher by implementing some reds to the gunmetal Grey and black.
Tortu-gor:
This is an obvious nod to He-Man... taking elements from Netflix CGI He-Man mainly the pants and tanktop and combining them with traditional Barbarian He-Man elements, like a furry loincloth and furry trim on the armored bits. Maybe adding an 87 movie cape in Leonardo Blue.
2 heads:
Prince valiant hairdo
200X hairdo
2 handed sword that looks like a half sword combined with a mechanical sword.
Kitsune:
A Karai/Catwoman/Black Widow/Electra pastiche.
Skintight catsuit with wrist mounted dartguns, a Kitsune mask and a small arsenal of Ninja weapons.
The Penalizer:
Rocksteady wearing a long sleeved top with removable body armor and a turtle skeleton spray painted on the armor. Purple outfit with brown long gloves and boots. It's meant to be a parody for both Nick Fury and the Punisher
Heads:
No helmet
No helmet with Eyepatch
Accessories:
Shitload of guns
No-Koff:
Slash wearing a "bizarro" Tortu-gor outfit. Obvious nod to Faker and Bizarro. I would add a soft goods tattered hooded cloak and a skull masked head as a nod to Skeletor and a deer skull staff.
The unbelievable Pork:
Bebop with pink body paint and olive pants.
Heads:
Growling
Screaming
Accessories:
Lou Ferrigno Hulk styled wig in purple
Half sized bent Steel Beam
The Professor:
Leatherhead dressed as a scientist. Not only is a nod to 2k3, but is also a parody of Marvel's Lizard.
Accessories:
Glasses
Flasks with chemicals
Fright Light:
Shredder in an outfit loosely inspired by the Bizarro Corps. With 虞 as the chest emblem (fear/horror in Japanese) the blades on Shredder and his helmet should glow in the dark as they're meant to be "Lantern constructs". His alternate head would be Oroku Saki with facepaint simulating a mask.
The Inquiry:
April dressed in a yellow outfit in a Question/ Rorschach outfit
Heads:
-Ninja April hair on a normal April head
-head with hat and "mostly featureless mask"
-Ninja April facemask head with hat (nod to the Shadow)
Accessories:
Handguns and revolvers
Roboduck:
AceDuck in an Inspector Gadget/Robocop/Gizmo Duck homage:
Gadget for the Silly weapons and a Hybrid Gizmoduck/Robocop for the looks.
That's it for now... I'm saving other variants for another filler rant.
