Forget rare, how about some of the non-existent figures?

Ok, so we have talked about which figures are tough to find. Now which figures/items never made it to shelves? Has anyone ever seen any of these beyond the promo pics from Playmates?

1991
Turtle Tenderizer 4x4 (the Foot monster truck)
Turtle Shell backpack (a figure case that straps to your back)
Giant April (I heard that this got as far a the prototype stage)

1992
Sidewalk Surfer ( a repaint of a toxic crusader sailboard)
Retromutagen Rifle (a role playing rifle with attached ninja weapons)
Turtle Popcan Racer
TMNT Sewer Sports soccerball

1993
Muta-Party Wagon (a Turtlevan that transformed into a Metalhead-esque robot)
Giant Movie III Don and Mike

1994
*My personal Holy Grails* Warriors of the Forgotten Sewer Splinter and Knight Mike (these were protyped and Mike even made it onto cardbacks on later shipments into Canada)
Savage Leo with Sewer Warcat
Giant Cyber Sanurai (a 12" motorized item)
Hot Roddin' Ninjamobiles (Rat Fink style versions of the turtle van and Mutant Module)
Movie Sewer Subway Car ( a playset based on the subway car from the 2nd movie)

1995
Mini-Mutant Turtle Transports (the first five sets were common, but later sets such as the Tank and Muscle Cars are rare and there were 10 to 15 other sets planned including monster trucks and jet boats.)
Mini-Cyber Plane/Weapons Station
Team Ninja assortments (a strange cross between TMNT, Power Rangers and Superhuman Cyber Samurai)
Metal Mutant Rocksteady and Bebop (I don't even know if these made it out in Japan)
Metal Mutant War Horse (a vac-metal gold version of the Movie III Warhorse)
Jim Lee version Leonardo
Rahzar with fur
Special Sewer Forces (repaints of some of the military figures)
Warrior Bebop (metal yellow version of robotic Bebop. This one might have come out, but I've never seen one)

1998
Dr Quease
TMNT:tnm Shadow Ninja Deluxe figures
