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?

#neca #tmnt #caseyjones - ZĂĄbava
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
Haha, thatâs a good point
I swear every video youâre closer to a complete mental breakdown.
100% And that's also 100% a part of the charm
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._
Great tagline for the movie
Closer or beyond?
Casey Jones with his mask always reminds me of a younger and buffed Jason Voorhees. đđđ§đȘ
Haha. Definitely
Finally a toy reviewer who gives boxes the respect and care they deserve. As a box-only collector, I appreciate you
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.
Always respect them. Youâll never see me do otherwise
Very smart move!
@@Chalor. hahahaha
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.
Sounds correct! Thank you
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
Hahaha exactly! đ
Get the Splinter and Baxter Fly two pack if you can. You won't be disappointed!
I have Splinter and sent Baxter to Moescato Bot Collects. They are great
Great review!! I do believe Caseyâs âthumbs upâ hand is actually one he uses to point to himself.
Yeah, haha. Heâs too tough. He needs it
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.
Right there with you!!
This Casey is one of the best of the whole line he's actually my favorite out of them all
Glad you love him. Mine will NEVER stand up on his own. Even using a foot peg stand he just falls over
@@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
The foot soldier has a bendy wire. Itâs the piece that connects the torso with the lower half.
Yeah, mine is already reaching the end of its life
@@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.
@@Hilltopperpete oh thatâs awesome!! Thank you for this
I was very happy when I saw this reissue pop up in the App a couple months ago. Waited years... literally.đ
Glad it arrived!
I love it when a collector (opener or in-boxer) *RESPECTS the BOXđŠ* đâ€. Not into the cartoon figs, but another great funny review.
Boxes for life.
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.
For sure!
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.
Definitely!
You could put the sledgehammer with rocksteady and recreate THAT comicâŠ
Better
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]
Very great points!
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.
Yeah, excellent addition to go with the regular versions
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 Caseyâs back without removing his head first!
Mad skillz Nostalgia Unboxed!
What a nightmare that would be!
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.
Yes, it's more iconic
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
Nice!!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed the pose you did with the blue gun hides his guts. I like that
What it looks like to me especially seeing quite few posts on Mercari & Ebay is most people are keeping Casey & selling the foot soldier!đ€
Makes sense. Some folks love to army build too
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.
I can feel that
Need to snag this when I can also I believe you have the strength to wield my sledgehammerâ€
I sure hope I do!
Love the Rick and Morty coming through Donatello's Deportation.....I mean portal....đ¶đ¶âđ«ïž
đ§
Shoot as i was watching this I realized your at 10k congrats đ
Thank you so much!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed your welcome
i ripped the strap on the dam bag trying to force it over the ball joint.... its cool i had super glue on hand!
Nooooooo
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 đ
Haha! The superior Casey
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 Iâm getting a second for free!
Wow! Hahaha what a mess even after all these months
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 đđ»
Haha, yeah I donât have one. Canât believe his retail price is so much. Plenty on shelves near me, but Iâll wait for an aftermarket listing
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. đ
I hope they rerelease them so you don't have to pay so much!
Mad hatter sent me, he said take caseys bat and smoke it good sir. Respectfully well from me, that is đ
Smoke em if ya got em
Your robots donât have fingernails!?
Great video!
Haha, đ
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.
Yeah, at least in his first episode he is massive
Great video. Question, can I not get Casey by himself? I can't find it online at all. Just the 2 pack.
He comes as shown
Sure you can still get those Neca TMNT figures... on the aftermarket!đąđđ”đ„
For lots of cold hard cash
Are you going to get the Neca Creature from the black lagoon? Great review as always đđ
I would love to review one, for sure
Nice I preordered it for pickup from Best Buy coming September 3đ
Nice video like always. đ
Thank you so much!
I got this 2 pack on it's initial release & it cost me $70 CDN đ. Love the set anyways though. Casey Jones was only in 5 episodes of the The Original 1987 TMNT Cartoon
@Mike_Fahmy Everybody keeps saying the 1987 tv series however initially the series would not premiere until October of 1988. The mini series which was basically the pilot movie aired in 5 parts in syndication in December 1987. Casey Jones didn't make his debut until season 3 episode 23 in October of 1989. đąđđđđ
Not enough episodes
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.
That was definitely a thought. Odd but cool
The foot soldier is super flexible, mine has not broken and I have bent it in all directions
Wow! I feel like mine is nearing the end
Oooo thanks for putting the song info in the video.
edit: Aaaand its the wrong info. Lmaoooo. Good attempt!
My bad! Hahaha
@@NostalgiaUnboxed
You'll get em next time. I believe in you!
I really hope they rerelease the foot soldier from the April 2 pack. I also hope they make more foot varieties.
They definitely need to!
Dont google 'his guts are busted bc of this guy,' unless you wanna
Youâre welcome?
iâm not going to lie i think i liike the super 7 one more cause he looks like the old one i had as a kid when they first came out.
I can understand that
I love your reviews but its been only turtles for a very long time! I know you love turtles a lot, I do too but let's see a review of something that's not turtle for a change. Turtle powerâ
I do those too but nobody watches. Like Vegeta
â@@NostalgiaUnboxedI would watch!
The normal Casey Jones is definitely worth it!
What is the normal Casey Jones?
@@therealivydawg this one. Not the version they just revealed at comic con, in the business suit.
I think he will be gone once business boy is here haha
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Iâm excited to own both! đ
Iâd be happy to take that Casey off your hands if you getting the business suit.
Haha might be the case
Sold out everywhere in the EU, ugh.
Nooooooo
Found an original April for $80, also with damaged solder "MIB. Iâm a completest. đ€Šđ»ââïžđ
That's a tough life to live! haha, but it's nice to have all those goodies around
I do like the Casey Jones didn't know there was 2 diff ones what others have they re done I know about bebop and rocksteady
Not sure
Casey Jones *relaxed* ..?
Man, you dont know your Casey, or _Crazy_ Jones as we call him... đđ
Hahaha!
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
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
@@craftcollects yeah I'll probably start giving her the new Playmates stuff
They are great, but their price isnât ideal and I think eventually would break apart with constant playing
Did you ever pick up a regular Foot Soldier? Cuz I'm actually sitting on a spare.
@@Spenceley I do have one. Thank you!
Not a bad pack
Certainly worth the price
This is awesome
Thanks!
Great review!! This was one of my all-time favorite 2-packs! Had to superglue Casey's strap on his bag cuz it tore on me. Real bitch of a job!đ
Noooooooooooo
@NostalgiaUnboxed yeah had a mini meltdown, but gorilla glue kicks ass so it looks right as rain!!
Has anyone told you that you have a mischievous laugh? You should make it your trademark :)
Thatâs new
@@NostalgiaUnboxed both you and Hatter have unique laughs.
Business Casey doesnât have this chest though , itâs suit arms and white shirt arms swap
Yeah, and removable blazer. The tie just makes it better for me. Haha
Ummmm you bought it bc itâs awesome?? Also I copy your videos for my poses and then pass them off as my own
I appreciate you clearing up why I bought this! They are moving forward on the shelf now. Prime spot đ
I got the original release and you van bend the hell out of that footsoldier without breaking. You can also pose him with the big gun so the battle-damage isn't that noticable if you put him more in the background
@n_explosion9199 ditto for me~đđđđ
I feel like mine doesnât have much bending left
@@NostalgiaUnboxed don't break it, this is the re-release, I will not be held accountable if it breaks đ
Both sticks are hockey sticks, the big one is a goalie stick
That makes sense!
NOOOOOOOOOOO (ive started my hunt and now i want sk many other figures)
Itâs the worst part
@@NostalgiaUnboxed fr
My favorite turtle CZcamsr letâs go!
Thanks! Haha
I seen those a lot LOL
Get one!
@@NostalgiaUnboxed got twoïŒ
Tbh, Iâd be happier for a Bebop and Rocksteady 2 pack rerelease. Hopefully itâs coming soon.
Me too! I never managed to get them and had to settle for the bootlegs from AliExpress. I would definitely replace them with the official ones if I could get them though as my Rocksteady has seriously wonky eyes! Neca are releasing "Ultimate Editions" of the four Toon Turtles, so hopefully they reissue some of the other earlier figures too. I bet Shredder would do well as an updated ultimate.
Definitely needs to happen
đ©đ„”
You ok?
@@NostalgiaUnboxed Iâm okay, you just a hunk of beef, respectfullyđ„
just got this set. look at us!
We are twins!
