It would be nice if he was, that's for sure. As long as Baxter was removable from the Exo-Suit, had a interchangable normal head, and a lab coat.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that Baxter's not been made yet for racist reasons.

More likely than anything, they just haven't given Baxter much thought for an action figure because he's not really much of an "action" character. They're a toy company, and as such are always thinking from the $$$ perspective. And to be honest, most execs would assume a mutant monster with bones sticking out of it will appeal to kids more than a guy in a lab coat.

Regardless, I really hope Playmates isn't actually going to leave Baxter out of the line. That'd just be... wrong.

I think that now, with Baxter having the Exo-Suit, and bing more than just a "guy in a labcoat" would make him an *immediate* contender for the 5" line. Maybe not as a basic figure, but as a vehicle with a figure pack-in.

I say that everyone in favor of a Baxter figure write, simply, into Playmates (if they actually answer their e-mail, that's cool). Tell them, quite simply, that you would like to see a BAxter Stockman figure in the TMNT line. Do NOT tell them what he should look like, or what accessories he should come with. Just request that he be made, period. To show them there is demand for the character.

When you suggest *how*, you're insulting their ability to design and market a product.

But, if someone could provide the e-mail, I certainly want to send them a letter.

Note that typically E-Mail means nothing to these companies. It's too easy to send, and is easily shrugged off. The best thing to do in these cases, is Snail Mail. There is actual physical effort behind it. And it impresses the suits more.
