Casey Jones :: 2007 TMNT Movie Action Figure

Along with April and the Foot Ninja, I found the 2007 TMNT Casey Jones at the flea market last weekend. He was completely accessory-less, but the Foot Ninja had this blade thing that looks looks a bit like a hockey stick, so Casey swiped it from him.

Casey pales in comparison to his original counterpart in all points but his height (why did they make this line so darn tall?!?!)

I hope to track down his mask someday, but until then I'll just consider him an unmasked variant.

Geek Fun Fact: Casey was voiced in the 2007 movie by Captain America himself, Chris Evans!

April (O'Neil) in July

Man, the 2007 TMNT cgi animated movie April O'Neil action figure is one tall drink of water!

April is decently articulated: shoulders, neck, hips, and upper arm swivels. She originally came with a handful of weapons, but this one was found with only her sheath and one sword (that originally came with the Foot Ninja.)

April was voiced by Sarah Michelle Geller in the 2007 cgi movie, which is actually pretty darn entertaining. I'm not as impressed with the character designs as I am with most other TMNT designs, but it beats the recent movie by miles!

I don't see this series of TMNT action figures very often in my second hand toy hunts, but I plan on keeping my eyes peeled for a turtle or two now that I have April (and Casey and a Foot Ninja) which I found at the flea market last weekend.

Bootleg LEGO Cyborg and Batzarro

Rounding out the six Bootleg LEGO minifigures I just picked up is this modern take on Cyborg.

this latest bootleg Cyborg comes with a gun that shoots single LEGO disc pieces. I have yet to see one of these in their offcial LEGO version but I know they have recently been popping up in some Star Wars sets.

I already own a bootleg LEGO Cyborg, but the previous one is a more classic take on Cyborg. I kind of prefer the older version as he's a bit more cartoony, but both are pretty awesome.

I also already own the official LEGO Batzarro, but this set included a bootleg LEGO Batzarro and who am I to say 'no thanks' to any version of Batzarro.

Both minifigures have two faces, and Batzarro comes with a batarang (Batzarrorang?) which is more than his official version came with!

Flea Market Haul!

I didn't make it to SDCC this year, so instead I went to my local flea market (yeah, small consolation!)

But hey, I did at least come away with a handful of fun toys to be reviewed more closely (or not) in the coming weeks.

Starting from the top:

Battle Cat. He's a little scuffed up but isn't broken or chipped, and for a dollar I can't pass up a Battle Cat even if he's sans armor.

Middle row:

Spongebob and Patrick Imaginext figures. I hate the Spongebob cartoon - mostly because his voice makes me want to kick puppies. But I like the character designs and the Imaginext aesthetic, and for a quarter each, I couldn't say 'no.' They will either be absorbed into my intern's collection or be traded off anyways.

April O'Neil, Foot Ninja and Casey Jones from the 2007 TMNT CGI animated flick. It's funny that exactly one week ago John of Robot Monster Space Superhero posted his score of a complete TMNT Casey Jones and today I find three figures from the line, including Casey! Sadly mine is missing his hockey mask, but I will just consider him an unmasked variant until I can get my hands on his mask.

Bottom row:

A rubbery (possibly squeak toy) Rocket J. Squirrel. I need to do some digging to find out the details on this guy, what he is and when he's from, but he's old (at least from the 70s I reckon) and I do love me some Rocky the Flying Squirrel!

Next are three LEGO minifigures. Obi Wan (sans hair, but that's ok, I have a grey hairpiece somewhere) and a couple random characters, one with a female head which are always a plus.

And last nut not least, Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia. My intern was way less interested in this figure than I expected her to be, but then again she had just gotten herself a Cinderella doll when I spotted this one.

Not a bad haul - and I got it (and my intern's Cinderella doll) all for less than ten bucks!

But still, I'd rather be at SDCC. Oh well, maybe next year!
