Mixing Turtles with Toys from Other Series and Scales

[Monte Williams]

A few of us were talking in the TMNT Toys Action Scenes/Shots thread, and we're pretty sure that no thread like this exists already here at the Technodrome Forums. If we're wrong, I apologize, and mods, please feel free to delete this thread.

Inspired by this five-year-old G.I. Joe thread on the HISS Tank forum:

...and inspired, also (and closer to home), by OrokuYoshiFilms and his photos combining the Nickelodeon space-themed figures posed against a backdrop that includes the vintage Playmates Star Trek TNG Transporter, this thread is intended to be a brainstorming resource for collectors, customizers and kitbashers.

Please share your ideas and photos for any toys or accessories, old or new, that compliment Ninja Turtles figures of any scale!

I'll share a few, to start things off.

McFarlane Toys has a lot of figures that serve as either cool, generic antagonists or, in many cases, startlingly similar stand-ins for existing Ninja Turtles supporting characters and villains.

For example, here's The Heap, who I've long regarded as a sort of edgy, realistic take on Muckman (I'm not the only person to use him in this role):

And McFarlane's Poacher is quite reminiscent of Doctor El:

Here are many, many other McFarlane matches for vintage Ninja Turtles figures:

Some of them are uncanny.


Moving beyond McFarlane, the Monkeyman Build-a-Figure makes for a neat Sgt. Bananas:

With some paint, this Monster High car could possibly be transformed into a passable Neutrino flying car:

(It's called Sweet 1600 Draculaura Roadster, for the record)

I visited a Target during a business trip to Minneapolis last week and noticed that a spaceship called the "Stellosphere" (from some Disney, Jr. show or another) is reduced to $40. That might sound pricey, but I suspect it would be a very cool substitute for the nicely sculpted but comically undersized Fugitoid ship:

Finally, I have a dumb but potentially cool idea for a giant custom Technodrome:

Strategically cover the exercise ball with bits of electrical tape, and then paint some weathering detail on the whole thing and you'd be well on your way, I think.

For a base, I was thinking maybe a beat-up old incomplete General, from the vintage G.I. Joe series:

I think I'll leave it at that, 'cause beyond these suggestions I mostly just have weird gear I've slapped onto my Turtles, added to which I already have a self-indulgent thread loaded with my photos and goofy ideas.

Instead, I wanna see everyone else's combos, ideas and photos!

Forgot this one. I've been thinking of buying some figure or another from NECA's old Reservoir Dogs series for a quick n' easy Bishop.
