| Raph: What are you? Jason's grungy brother Melvin? Casey: Alright, punk! You asked for it! Raph: I'm a master of ninjitsu! |
Warning: Due to NECA's piss poor QC, you must go through the sacred rituals in order to use these toys.
-Sacrifice a virgin female to the toy gods.
-Test EVERY JOINT VERY DELICATELY. AS IF ONE WRONG MOVE, BOOM! YOU BLEW UP THE ENTIRE CITY. In case of stuck joint use the hot and cold treatment... (google it) check for paint "gluing" the joint shut and EXTREMELY CAREFULLY cut the paint on the joint.
Remember that this is a NECA toy and despite following these unnecessary rituals, they might still break... and it's your fault that NECA made a shitty toy in the first place. It's never NECA's fault and Randy is Jesus 2.0...
 |
| Casey: You missed, greenie! Raph: I wasn't aiming at you, sucker! |
Writing these warning makes me wonder, why do I keep buying NECA figures? It's because when they don't break, they kick ass!
Additional warning: Be extremely careful with Casey's hands. They are prone to breaking... They are more fragile than Anita Sarkeesian's ego when she went to the UN to whine about people on Twitter saying that she sucks and a liar for literallt lying... They are that fragile. You have been warned.

| Casey: Yikes! You looked better with the hat, six ball! Raph: Oi! Cricket is too difficult fo' South Car'linans! Casey: What? Raph: Stick to Hockey, Keith Gretzky!! |
Casey Jones is a vigilante who uses Sporting Goods his weapons. He has anger issues and basically is an older more unhinged Raphael. Encountering the Turtles and April helps him mellow out a bit... in the movie, well, he's a vigilante, teams up with the Turtles and April, where he's just as chill as he was before.
Raphael: the Asshole Turtle.
 |
| Casey: FORE!! Raph: Golf, really? A Low Class Mongrel such as you, plays golf!? Casey: What makes you think I'm not affluent!? Raphael: One, your get-up. You can't afford Hockey pads, much less state of the art armor. Your outfit is literally a shirt and sweatpants! You definitely ain't Donald Trump. Two, you're here fighting a 5'7" Turtle in a trench coat. Casey: You're a Turtle Ninja? I thought you were a ninja frog... |
Articulation
Casey's articulation is similar to the Foot Ninja and Shredder, if you have them. In theory, the articulation is supposed to be good. Reality? NECA Fragility WARNING joints may be frozen despite the rituals this reduces the amount of usable articulation ona a figure by figurr basis. IN MY CASE his feet were mostly stuck. He MAY HAVE a waist swivel... if he does, then mine is frozen as well.
Yes, the elbows are ugly, yet functiomal. Then again, I collect Figuarts and Revoltech (most of them can't come out of the toy chest, because boobs and vaginas... I barely got the QB Elina review) and they have ugly joints.
I wish mine didn't have frozen joints, I guess I should Let it Go... get it? Frozen, Let it Go... I'll show myself out. Also be a bit extra careful well while posing him because he does have a little trouble standing especially with frozen foot joints
IF HE HAD ZERO FROZEN JOINTS, HE'D BE A 4.5 but since mine has his feet partially frozen, a frozen waist, 3.5
 |
| Raph: 30 years later and I'm still stuck doing the Jose Canseco bat schtick! Casey: At least you're not bitching about Joss Whedon making you say Booya! |
Raphael on the other hand, is virtually the same as the previous releases of him. (NECA SDCC, Gamestop single card, Walmart 2 packs...) His pads, mainly knee and elbow can hinder articulation a little bit. The cloth trenchcoat can impede elbow articulation a little bit.
4.5
Paint and sculpt:
This is the reason why I keep still buying NECA despite their piss poor QC... They kick so much butt in the sculpt Department! Aside some of the joints being a bit too obvious on Casey, (unavoidable when working on a supwrarticulated figure) they look like they jumped out of the screen. Obviously Raphael is the superior one here. THE few noticeable joints make him look like a guy inside a turtle costume which to be fair was what he was in the 1990 movie.
5.0

| Raph: I want to see you eat it, Jones... Casey: I have no alternate maskless head, Raph... Do you expect me to shove it through my maskhole? |
Accessories:
Extra hands for both figures
2 Sai
2 different Hockey sticks
1 slice of pizza
1 hat
2 alternate bandana ties
1 golf bag
1 cricket bat
1 golf club
2 overpriced Jose Canseco bats from a 2×1 sale.
So you can see they've got plenty of accessories. Be extra careful with the golf club it feels super flimsy given their thin material it's made out of. It's not made in rigid plastic but still it's extremely thin and it could break off easily. , Rafael's site are made of sturdier plastic but I'm afraid that if he has a shelf diving incident they will break... or the figure might... it's NECA, you never know.
5.0

| One of these Raphs looks like a pervert... The Other is OK despite beong nude. An open trenchcoat can make a difference. |
Overall
Casey gets a 4.5 as his final score. Raph gets a 4.83 as his final score. This means the pack gets a 4.67 as the final score. The mileage truly varies on the figures' articulation depending on how many Frozen joints you get. In my case this is the score for the two pack. I'm not going to lie it's a really Nifty set and I'm grateful to have a movie accurate Casey Jones... it's gonna suck having to buy a future Casey for the Koteas head.
I got to admit, that having Casey allowed me to have some fun taking pics...
