As you saw in the Danny Pennington review, I indeed have the Shadow Warriors 2 pack. Sadly, Casey Jones still eludes me. So, the 2pack consists of Oroku Saki and Hamato Yoshi. Members of the Foot Clan with a blood feud that will continue for many years. These are based on the flashback told by Splinter, where he was Yoshi's pet rat and practiced ninjitsu by mimicking Yoshi.
Most classic continuities have a rivalry between Hamato Yoshi and Oroku Saki, but none outside the Original Mirage Comics have tackled the man that Yoshi killed, Oroku Nagi, Shredder's older brother. |
Articulation
Both Yoshi and Saki share the same type of articulation since they're essentially the same figure from the neck down. When wearing the gi, the torso articulation is slightly hindered.
4.5
Paint and sculpt
This set is a NECA set and there was a lot more love and care put into it than say, Danny Pennington. The customization options between sleeved gi, unsleeved gi, and no gi help spice up the displays. Lots of attention to detail was taken here... like Master Yoda, speaking I am... I am really pleased with the figures.

Overall
This set gets a 4.83 as its final score. Not going to lie, this is a pretty good set for a pair of characters that were flashbacks... Now if we could only get Tatsu, then we could truly call the first movie collection "complete". Now if I could find a Casey...
