Channel 6 News station

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Why weren't the Channel 6 News station released as a toy, since they released the Channel 6 News van. Would have been much cooler than those later stupid "Cave Turtles" or "Mutant Military Turtles" (TMNT don't live in pre-historica era, and they live outside society, remember) or whatever that I never cared for (only cared for originals from other TMNT media, and some vehicles and playsets) or figures that didn't appear in any other TMNT media (even if some of them would have been cool there). When I think of the 1987 cartoon, I think of three major locations: The TMNT New York City sewer lair, the Technodrome and the Channel 6 News station.

While it would be interesting for diorama purposes, I don't see the Channel 6 station having all that much play value, unless you put all sorts of weird stuff in it that doesn't really belong there (trap doors, missile launchers, ooze dispensers, stuff like that).

That said, I always dreamed of a TMNT arcade game version of the Channel 6 offices (Level 1), with action features including a staircase those big, black bouncing ball would come down from, working elevators, a break-apart floor that Rocksteady's mutant module could come through, and a shattering window that Shredder could break through to kidnap April.

I agree missile launchers and ooze dispensers don't belong there. But imagine if Burne and Vernon at least had some kind of secreet "Turtle traps" in the Channel 6 News station (probably in the basement, without Apirl and Irma knowing it) to try to capture the TMNT (like a net) and leave them to the US government.
