It came from the Toy Chest: Tokka and Rahzar

 

Peter Laird, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hates Rocksteady and Bebop. That's why they didn't show up on The secret of the Ooze. We got these two as a poor man's substitute of the Moronic mutant duo.
Marty: This is heavy!!
Shredder: (What a wimp!)


They are mutated babies who fight the Turtles out of a desire to play and not malice or ill will. This just showcases the ruthlessness of Shredder. He would use super strong babies to destroy his enemies.
S7Bebop: I'm leaving these two alone...
They can easily defend themselves and
*I* would be the one getting raped!


Articulation 
Tokka and Rahzar are very articulated. Tokka being the most articulated of the two. He even has Articulated Eyebrows!!
Sadly, my Rahzar has an issue with his jaw. It seems to be moveable but it won't move. Not even with the NECA rituals performed... Also, he only has single joint knees.
Tokka: 5.0
Rahzar: 4.5
Eyebrow articulation...
Outside a Japanese import...
Smashing!!


Paint and sculpt 
The sculpt is very Henson Studios looking. The paintjob is superb, but to be fair, NECA excels at this. With the right backdrop and lighting/filters you cool fool casuals into believing that your Action Figure photography is a scene from the movie. I have no complaints here:
5.0
Nefty: I think I made a wrong turn...
T&R: NOT THE MOMMA!!
Nefty: Definitely wrong turn...


Accessories 
Tons of movie stuff like Rahzar's shield, wood piece, pipe, extinguisher, unbeatable Jelly Filled Donuts, Ooze filled Donut, Ooze canister, and lastly alternate hands for them.
5.0
Nefty: These donuts are great!
Nothing beats a Jelly-Filled Donut!
*Crack*
Nefty: Shit! They found the ooze cubes!
I mean if that didn't work in the 90s why should 
it work in 2021?


Overall
Tokka is a 5.0 and Rahzar is a 4.83 which makes these a 4.92 as their final score. The set is really great. My issue with the jaw on Rahzar was what dropped the score. I also might not be a fan of the cardboard donut box, but NECA went above and beyond in making this set an awesome representation of Tokka and Rahzar. Super7 might be able to make an excellent reproduction of the Vintage Toy, but NECA did the superior movie designs. So, what I'm teying to say is that it'll be tough for Super7 to surpass these two.
S7 Leo: Turtles fight with honor!!
Nefty: Kicking babies in the dick isn't honorable
S7 Raph: But these are NECAs, unless you have a Witcher, kicking them in the dick is the only solution.
