He's so far the second most popular figure of wave 10... and by that I mean, he's not as disliked as Ninja April or Rat King... (Ironically, the wave's "best figure" is the one I like the least.) The main issie people have is that he's a repaint with just a new head. Everyone wonders if his crotch issue will be fixed... (despite strongly believing that it won't be fixed) but the second biggest issie is the lack of an unmasked head. Sute, the battle damaged mask is nice, but ever since wave 4 everyone has been asking for an unmasked head. NECA delivered on that front, but not Super7. (I'm saving NECA Mirage Casey for the Advent Calendar) Super7 heard us, but chose to ignore us. This is a repaint with LESS accessories than the last Casey. Vintage Racks won't return due to Playmates Toys bitching and moaning.
An unmasked head was a much better option, but if unmasked Casey was "too similar to NECA", then casey with the mask resting atop his head, as if he had lifted his mask to eat or have a drink could've worked as well. Now the priblem is that the colors chosen for this casey make it kinda hard to sell a Bodycount variant (the usa flag mask version).
I like this Casey, Don't get me wrong... it's just that it could've been made into something better. Are we going to start making wacky Casey Variants? Because I propose this one for starters...
We could get the elusive unmasked Casey head with this variant to pop on the Mirage version.
You could call it Undercover Casey, which would fit with the Undercover Turtles that may or may not be available... this rights issue is more complicated than we thought.
At this rate Super7 is better off giving us an extra heads and hands pack.
