REVIEW: NECA’S “TMNT 2: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE” TOKKA AND RAHZAR
TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
NECA’S “TMNT 2: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE” TOKKA AND RAHZAR!
It’s Wednesday. You know what that means… ToyFarce review!
This week, we’re taking a break from the McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Year 1 reviews again (I’m a bit behind on my toy photography!), and we’ll review NECA’s most anticipated release from last year: the Tokka and Rahzar 2-pack from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II - The Secret of the Ooze”!
First off, I have to mention the amazing bubble-wrap sarcophagus thingy that NECA packed the set with. This thing is beautiful and I haven’t dared to throw it away yet. It’s the best protection I’ve ever witnessed.
This set was “made-to-order”, in the sense that it was an exclusive for the NECA Store, and NECA opened pre-orders on their site for a limited time only (a week or two), and once that time was over, there was no way of getting that set at retail anymore (only secondary market and scalpers, unfortunately). As you can see on the shipping box, it seems they made 11810, so that’s still a pretty good run for those figures.
The box itself is quite big, which is not surprising, considering the size of the figures. They come with a ton of accessories, such as extra hands, a shield, a metal pipe and a wooden bar, an extinguisher, and lots of little easter eggs from the movie.
And now, let’s crack open those bad boys (I always wanted to say that). The “sleeve” inside the box has a barnyard print on it, just like in that scene when they come out of one to attack the turtles, so it’s pretty nice to be able to use it for some pictures as well.
Tokka is a #BEAST. He’s covered in spikes, and his shell is very, very pointy. Seriously. That thing is a weapon. I’m scared it will fall down from a shelf and impale a cat or something. He has a pretty ok “NECA”-set of articulations, even if he can’t do a lot due to his size and weight/balance. The best part is that his face has articulations on the mouth, the nose and the eyebrows (really!). So you can make him look mad, sad,…
Weaponized toy
Mad Tokka is mad
Surprise Tokka!
“DO YOU SMELL WHAT THE TOKK IS COOKING?”
Rahzar is also a #BEAST. He has chains, the parts of his ‘armor’ are loose and move around when you move him. His face is not as articulated as his partner, unfortunately, as you can only open/close his mouth.
Chains!
“GROAR"!”
Both figures look great, with tons of nice little details and the paint job is spot-on. Now it’s time to shamelessly re-enact scenes from the movie!
“Come forward! Attack me if you will. When this is over, you will call me ‘Master’!”
“Mama? MAMA!!!”
“BABIES! THEY’RE BABIES!!”
“TOKKA! RAHZAR!”
“ROAAAAR!”
“Hey, didn’t we see those guys at Wrestlemania?”
“Well, you know what they say! The bigger they are…”
“OUCH…the more bones they break.”
“Alright, you overgrown ugly excuse for a turtle!”
“BONK"!”
“You know…maybe that “ugly” crack was a little bit out of line, huh?”
“Why did I let you talk me into this??”
“Nom noms?”
“Oh-ho… No, they found the cubes! - I told you it wasn’t gonna work!”
“Whooooaaaa!”
“Major spin cycle!”
“CRASH!”
“Now I know what a postal package feels like…”
If you missed out on them, I would say that they are definitely worth tracking down. With a bit of patience and a good amount of luck, you could probably find them at a decent price down the line. No words from NECA on if they will ever re-issue them, but it does seem very unlikely, considering how they were some sort of experiment with the “made-to-order” concept.
“ROOOAAAAAAR!”
