I'm sorry, but I'd buy the new Casey Jones figure over some stupid MOTU figure ANYDAY. PERIOD. And April comes with those kick ass mousers. Look at them! I mean, I want like a friggin army of those lil guys. Even Hun is great, and if they gave him too much articulation, it would ruin the figure if you ask me. Either way, they look good and I'm gettin them.

These figs look awesome. I think Casey's the best.

lol you obviously haen't seen good toys before... Of course I don't have many toys anymore, except the old tmnt and new tmnt, but those motu look great. They incorporate old things from the old line of toys, but still make the toys kickass. Oh well, you don't have to like it if you don't want to. These new tmnt toys SUCK. PERIOD. Articulation was added to the new turtles and they turned out great, there's no articulation in these guys, and they just look sucky.
I may change my opinion when i see them in person, but I doubt it.

I found another pic of Casey, I thought he looked very cool in this one.

The_Realest · 03-09-2003, 09:29 PM

Looks pretty cool, but like PWDESAI said, it greatly lacks articulation and detail. I'd buy the original Casey fig over the new one anyday.

CoolWhip · 03-10-2003, 08:11 AM

The original TMNT toys had less articulation than these.

I think Casey has about the same.

But you know what? I didn't even think about articulation when I was a kid and playing with them. I just played, and had fun. Tons of fun.

That's what kids nowdays do too. DBZ toys have pathetic articulation - but kids buy 'em because they like the show and want to have their own adventures with their fave characters.

Besides, why are all of us older people complaining about articulation? Most of us either:

a) keep the toys in the box and look at them.
b) keep them on our shelf (outta the box) and look at them.

We're so spoiled nowdays with things like Marvel Legends - 30 pts of articulation - that we've forgotten what toys are really about.

They aren't about a huge number of joints - they're about having fun.

Why does everybody care so much about articulation anyway? Do you play with them or something? For me and most collectors we just display them so we don't really care about articulation......

Donatello · 03-10-2003, 11:38 AM

the articulation on casey is way better than the old one. i personally like april's design better too.

the new tmnt don't have as much poseability as some toys today, but that's because the have a defined look to them. the reason the old batman animated series figs were so low in movemment is so it could look like the show. the same goes here. though i woulda liked to see elbows on casey.

i think the new tmnt figs are great though. and though i'm not a fan of motu i must admit they have some badass toys

The_Realest · 03-10-2003, 07:02 PM

Hey, I agree with you guys. Although it lacks articulation, it doesn't matter to me at all. However, the lack of detail and plain simplicity it has kinda' does matter to me. IMO, the original Casey fig is much better to look at.

actually, toys with bad articulation really bothered me when i was a kid. i liked to be able to pose them, and move them like they were actually fighting, etc. i still play with them, so articulation matters, at least to me. you say that we're spoiled by Marvel Legends, but that's because Toy Biz has raised the bar. they made toys that look nice and are fully poseable. i'm just happy the Turtlles haven't gone the route of McFarlane Toys' statues.
anyways, my thoughts on the figures:
April looks sweet! and dig those Mousers! much better than the originals(i remember them being taller than a couple versions of the turtles). here's hoping for a Mouser 6 pack, or at least a Baxter that comes with a couple..
Casey, i'm sorry to say, i'm dissapointed with. his accessories look pretty cool, but something's just not right with his body, or or his mask. i dunno. i just hope i change my my mind when i get my hands on one. Casey's my hero.
Hun looks good. well representative of the animation, and a solid figure. i'm not too excited about him though. his character on the show hasn't impresssed me much. he just seems like Shredder's flunkie.

I was just speaking for myself.

And BTW, I'm not anti articulation. I love Marvel Legends. I just mean that even if a toy can't bend and move fifty thousand ways, you can still have a hellova lotta fun with it.

i think the face of casey doesnt match the cartoon. but with the mask its ok

Opticon143 · 03-23-2003, 01:55 PM

With regard to pwdesai's statement of the motu figures, i agree they look kinda kickass, but my main beef with them is that they look TOO detailed. I mean, look how much detail is in the cartoon. With the turtles figures the way they are, we get figures that more resemble their show counterparts. And personally, thats all i'm looking for.
