I know their output is already pretty slow, but I really feel like they need to do 5 figures at least for the first two waves and get the four Turtles, Splinter, Shredder and then four out of April, Casey, a Foot Soldier, Baxter, Hun and Karai.

But it's Super7, so I imagine the first set will be four figures and something like Mikey, Angel, Stonebiter and the Playmates Foot Soldier sculpt repainted with 2K3 colors.

In one of the more recent interviews, Kyle said the plan is the "core team plus a couple bad guys." Previously, Brian had confirmed that there are two waves coming for 2k3.

Leo
Don
Raph
Mikey

Shredder
Foot Solider

The final two spots, you've got Splinter, Casey, April, Hun and (maybe) Baxter as potentials.

I could also see them doing 5 figure waves for 2k3 just to get the turtles out faster - but 10 figures still means someone above doesn't make the cut.

I would love to see an Ultimate Hun though.

Clearly Super7 just wants an excuse to make more variants of turtles people will buy, but besides that they might milk them in at least 2 waves so something like:
Wave 1: Raph, Donnie, Figure 3, Figure 4, Variant
Wave 2: Leo, Mikey, Figure 3, Figure 4, Variat
I think Shredder is likely in the first wave since it's such a unique and badass design. April might make it into the first wave as well she's also a different design from her other universe takes unlike say Casey Jones who isn't as different.
I'd definitely like if they started doing characters not in other universes even if they're not as popular. I'll take Hun over 2k3 splinter for example without a problem. These characters totally deserve it but I don't think they look marketable enough for S7 to do them at least not at first: Baxter Stockman, Nobody, Agent Bishop. but they'd be the ones I'd be most interested in.
Too bad S7 won't scale well with other TMNT figures besides their own line.

Even if they were to reveal them soon … with Super7’s track record, they probably wouldn’t come out till 2026 at the EARLIEST.

It looks like the figures will be available for pre-order by the end of April. Timestamp: 32:54.
