man how hard is it for playmates to just make one Casey figure and make the mask removable. Seems silly to make 1 masked and than 1 unmasked figure.

Playmates way of thinking=why make one figure with removable mask, when we can make the same figure with new head sculpt and make fans buy another one, "great idea brah"

The Turtles along with Casey, BB n RS are released as mini figures, but styled as youngsters.

A sort of cross between HSH and the evolution figures.
They are not particularly appealing. I think Casey has been dropped .

They remind me of the old style of Mez-Itz.

Same as the blind bag ones? They look the same to me. (You mean I could have just skipped the blind factor and bought a full set and spared myself a duplicate? Arg... lol Ah well.)

Agree that they sort of look like kid Turtles. I have the blind bag ones I found of Leo, Donnie and Raph sitting/standing in front of Pirate Mikey who now looks like he's babysitting, in costume I guess to entertain the kids. If anyone ever wanted to customize Jr. Turtles and give one or more of them a kid to deal with, these little figures are a nice size next to the basics

One complaint I have is I wish they could find a way to make Raph's Sais have the right stability without having to resort to adding those little fins between the blades. Looks strange. I know they use them on the Half Shell Heroes toys but I'm not a fan. It's a small complaint though.

I'd like to see Playmates do more of these.

Course, I'd rather they focus more on collector figures.

I think the webbing on the weapons is a safety feature. I could be wrong.
I'm ok with Playmates stock, as there are a range of others doing a whole bunch of stuff now.
