Quite possibly my favorite action figure of all time! He was awesome in the cartoon and my love for him just grew with Elias Koteas' awesome performance in the first feature film. As for suggestions, how about Rat King or Mondo Gecko? I loved both of those!

You want to hear suggestions? I think you should review Krang, Metalhead, Mona Lisa, Mutagen Man, Ray Fillet, Scumbug, Wingnut & Screwloose, or Wyrm. Man, it was so hard narrowing it down to 8 suggestions.

Thanks guys! And feel free to make suggestions, I'm always happy to hear them!

I'd say that the TMNT 2007 movie Casey Jones was a pretty cool rendition of the character, but it's not particularly faithful to the original Mirage comic.

What more can I add. Another great figure choice ...

What more can I add. Another great figure choice Nathan. I agree with everything. Casey Jones is just a great character, and I'm honestly surprised we havn't seen another decent rendition of him myself. This figure was pure fun back in the day. As with fugitoid..and quite a few other turtle figs of the day, I commonly found extra accessories at the fleamarkets. So I had plenty of extra bats and clubs for my Casey Jones figure. It's obvious you don't need any suggestions for other figures. :)

Nice write-up! Casey Jones was one of my favorites, too. Despite him being human, Playmates managed to make him as interesting and cool as the weirdos that made up the rest of the toy line (which makes me wonder why they repeatedly failed at Shredder). On the other hand, I seem to remember being disappointed that he only came with one golf club, since in the cartoon he wielded two.

By the way, he appeared in the cartoon twice in Season 3, then disappeared for two years before being featured in another episode and having cameos in a couple more. A clip of him was used in a T.V. program I saw once about violence in children's television. And, to be fair, you've got to wonder about a cartoon that shows children that golf clubs make great weapons.
