Why Exactly did I buy this Casey Jones set?

Reviewing the NECA TMNT Casey Jones and Foot Soldier (slashed). This set got a rerelease in 2023 just before SDCC, but was it a mistake grabbing this Casey Jones?

[@schadenfreudeind]

Finally a toy reviewer who gives boxes the respect and care they deserve. As a box-only collector, I appreciate you

[@Chalor.]

Same here! I've always found it odd that ppl take the figures out the package and then toss the box. I mean to each their own, it's all about that sweet sweet box for me. Figures go right in the trash.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Always respect them. You’ll never see me do otherwise

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Very smart move!

[@aznsketcher]

@@Chalor. hahahaha

[@schadenfreudeind]

From what I recall, Casey Jones is pretty high-strung. So it makes sense that he does not have relaxed hands because he never relaxes. Like a Repo Man, Casey is always intense

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, that’s a good point

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

Casey Jones with his mask always reminds me of a younger and buffed Jason Voorhees. 🎭🏏🧐💪

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha. Definitely

[@blammers]

I swear every video you’re closer to a complete mental breakdown.

[@BriarShinn]

100% And that's also 100% a part of the charm

[@Chalor.]

Absolutely. It's like a case study for psychologists. _The natural progression of a man who still wants to be a little boy that becomes more and more obsessed and overwhelmed with little pieces of plastic that eventually drive him mad._

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Great tagline for the movie

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Closer or beyond?

[@EpykkDyzastur]

Great review!! I do believe Casey’s “thumbs up” hand is actually one he uses to point to himself.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, haha. He’s too tough. He needs it

[@Starfig]

Yeah, the 2023 release of this set has slightly updated/improved colors on Casey and the Foot...and the Foot has the new ball hips and ankle rockers where the original did not. If I remember right.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Sounds correct! Thank you

[@jeffwhite2280]

Having just got a Leatherhead/Slash box and a Bebop/Rocksteady box, I can definitely feel a difference in the plastic of the figures. Treating those 4 with kid gloves. LOTS of heat before bending. Picked up this Casey reissue and had no problems. Really hoping there are more reissues on the way.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Right there with you!!

[@nicolasgregory7207]

That pose with the Foot soldier trying to scoop its guts back in made me think of that dave chappelle episode where it was reality TV skit and the old guy got shanked and he like held his hands at his stomach and looked at it all dramatic LOL

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Hahaha exactly! 😂

[@Plvcky]

The foot soldier has a bendy wire. It’s the piece that connects the torso with the lower half.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, mine is already reaching the end of its life

[@Hilltopperpete]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed according to a few people who pose them in two pieces (like having the new Napoleon Bonafrog ripping a foot soldier in half), the wire slides out and can slide back in- and be replaced if necessary. Your mileage may vary, it's just from a couple replies to my questions on FB TMNT forums.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

@@Hilltopperpete oh that’s awesome!! Thank you for this

[@stevenfraser81]

Get the Splinter and Baxter Fly two pack if you can. You won't be disappointed!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I have Splinter and sent Baxter to Moescato Bot Collects. They are great

[@Randomcrapname80]

I was very happy when I saw this reissue pop up in the App a couple months ago. Waited years... literally.😊

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Glad it arrived!

[@jasonpatchen1912]

This Casey is one of the best of the whole line he's actually my favorite out of them all

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Glad you love him. Mine will NEVER stand up on his own. Even using a foot peg stand he just falls over

[@jasonpatchen1912]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed really? You might have to heat his ankle joints to where he can keep his balance and once he's in that position hit his ankles with cold water should fix your problem

[@TheMattTrakker]

As someone that has non-busted up foot soliders, I had been waiting for them to re-release this busted up one, as I really like what it adds to a fight scene with the turtles.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, excellent addition to go with the regular versions

[@braddecker1857]

I did buy them when they first came out. It's a cool set. I'm glad they rereleased it for people just starting out with the line. I found the original Casey Jones at a Acme Super Center.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

For sure!

[@aznsketcher]

I love it when a collector (opener or in-boxer) *RESPECTS the BOX📦* 😂❤. Not into the cartoon figs, but another great funny review.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Boxes for life.

[@greenmagicdragon]

Wise move taking the Casey head off to put his bag on his back. I saw many a figure reviewer, when this originally released a few years back, who ended up breaking the strap on the bag by trying to put it on Casey’s back without removing his head first! Mad skillz Nostalgia Unboxed!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

What a nightmare that would be!

[@lepauvrefou]

I agree with you, even he appears in 4 or 5 episodes from the cartoon (wich is much more than most of the secondary charachters), the movie Casey Jones, Elias Koteas, has much more impact on my memories than this version of the cartoon.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Definitely!

[@grotgrusson5124]

The Bebop and Rocksteady is still up for grabs at Swedish Amazon. The only back clash is that they cost more than 300 USD right now. Another down part is there is NO traces of any "new" figures, like Sack, The Turtle gang, New April etc. 😕

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I hope they rerelease them so you don't have to pay so much!

[@stevenmatthews9746]

don't really need the foot soilder, hoping they do an ultimate casey at some point. Don't need the one in a suit either.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I can feel that

[@bradpoc2791]

Shoot as i was watching this I realized your at 10k congrats 🎉

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Thank you so much!

[@bradpoc2791]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed your welcome

[@Chalor.]

5:27 They use a figure picture of the character if a figure has been made of it, and then the digital render picture when it's of a character that hasn't been made. I get why they do it that way, it's to give the image a more lifelike look, as if it's a three-dimensional action figure. But clearly they're not going all out with making those images look like action figure pics; but at least they put a little effort in going that route as opposed to a straight up (screen grab) drawing. *I think it also has a bit to do with consistency. Like if it was me in charge, I would've started from the get-go with putting toon images on those communicators. But since that's not how they rolled, they had to keep on making them somewhat blend in with the previous stuff......cause as hardcore as we've gotten, I'm pretty sure we're not gonna get a figure like the _Handsome Anchorman._ [That's an example of a digital render image - from the Catwoman of Channel 6 4-pack]

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Very great points!

[@MasonGassaway-r7s]

Are you going to get the Neca Creature from the black lagoon? Great review as always 👍😁

Don't worry, i too fell for this 2-pack re-release and i can only remember Casey from the one 9-5 business outfit 😅

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha! The superior Casey

[@Midlife_TimeCrisis]

This set is extremely necessary. I have the busted guy standing behind other foot soldiers since he looks taller. With the Alpha 1 head. I had to use Vernon pointing hands so he can touch the fingers to the temples move from the show that ZERO foot soldiers come with

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Nice!!

[@Midlife_TimeCrisis]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed the pose you did with the blue gun hides his guts. I like that

[@classicretros23]

Those damage foot soldiers are awesome as they will become harder to get. Also this Casey Jones is a more iconic then the 1 time suit episode.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yes, it's more iconic

[@Frank_D]

7:31 Maybe a piece of rebar? The shape's a bit off since it would be a straight piece rather than being tapered like that, but the cross pattern makes me think rebar, and that would definitely hurt if you got hit with it, so I can see Casey keeping one in his bag.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That was definitely a thought. Odd but cool

[@prestontingley8914]

Okay… I used the auto T vid and did it, bought one, got it shipped bam, I have blue renet right? Well I just get an email a few days ago saying another one is gonna be shipped and today I check and sure enough another is on the way. I check autoT… only claimed/bought the 1… so I’m getting a second for free!

What it looks like to me especially seeing quite few posts on Mercari & Ebay is most people are keeping Casey & selling the foot soldier!🤔

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Makes sense. Some folks love to army build too

[@Chalor.]

5:42 Hm, so this is your first time getting that gun? I mean, between this pack and the April one, that's the first time we see it, but it's included with Mondo Gecko since he uses it in his first episode. I just thought you had Mondo (even though there's no video evidence to support my assumption), cause he's such an iconic & cool character. And even with the upcoming _fucking amaaaazing_ Archie Mondo, you still need a toon one. Let me pray to the toy gods to make it happen 🙏🏻

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha, yeah I don’t have one. Can’t believe his retail price is so much. Plenty on shelves near me, but I’ll wait for an aftermarket listing

So,I was thinking about buying Neca for my little sister to play with.And I wanted to ask is if they're easy to break,cause my sister doesn't play hard like slamming thoose together but she plays really gentle. She got into TMNT like 6 months ago and her birthday is in 2 weeks,and thats why I'm asking

[@craftcollects]

NECA is more for collecting, if she's young she might gravitate to the new Turtle products coming out for the new movie so I'd definitely start there

[@Silly_willy_車]

@@craftcollects yeah I'll probably start giving her the new Playmates stuff

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

They are great, but their price isn’t ideal and I think eventually would break apart with constant playing

[@Chalor.]

Besides that goalie stick looking like you just drew the shape with a pen on some white foam board and cut it out, the thing I never liked is how small NECA made Casey. I'm sure there's frames where Casey isn't all that big (since all that was so inconsistent), but overall, Casey was a beast on the show. Like if only he was a quarter of an inch or so taller, and a bit bulkier, he'd be perfection. Regardless, I'm still fine with 5'7" skinny arms and legs Casey.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, at least in his first episode he is massive
