REVIEW: NECA’S ULTIMATE FLASHER GREMLIN + FLASHER COMPETITION!

TOYFARCE REVIEW:

NECA’S ULTIMATE FLASHER GREMLIN + FLASHER COMPETITION!

Another wednesday, another review, this time with the long overdue Ultime Flasher Gremlin from NECA. I had already teased that the Ultimate Flasher Raphael from the NECA two-pack with Casey Jones had some competition, so I got my hands on that competition, and there will be a flasher competition (a flash-off?) to determine who is the Ultimate Flasher!

Finally, a worthy opponent…

The Gremlins line from NECA has always been great, and the gremlins are very detailed. They look like they were taken right out of the movie. They do suffer from a bit of quality control issue (the head kept popping off when I was taking pictures), but nothing unfixable. The art box (I guess we can call them art boxes) has great pictures, which is expected from NECA. Here are some packaging shots:

The Ultimate Flasher Gremlin comes with a ton of accessories, all related to the bar scene from the movie: Poker visor, poker cards and poker chips, a pint of beer, a puppet, a mallet, some lit cigarettes, sunglasses a fedora, a bowtie, a removable trenchcoat and interchangeable hands.

If you remove the trenchcoat and accessories, you get a very decent Gremlin, with a lot of articulations. Even his jaw is articulated!

GIZMO…CACA!

“Bee-ba-boo-dee, bee-ba-boo-dee…”

*Hysterical laugh*

“Chug! chug! chug!”

"No chug?”

*SMASH*

“Hello laaaadies”

Ultimate Flasher Raphael seems to be getting impatient, so it is now time for the Flasher Competition. Who will be the Ultimate Flasher? There can be only one!

The Ultimate Flasher Competition’s jury will be members of the trenchcoat afficionados club. Some of them may or may not have been Ultimate Flasher Competition winners in the past, but we will not get too deep into that.

First contestant, the Gremlin…

Now for Raphael’s turn…

Wait a minute! It seems the Gremlin is highjacking Raphael’s turn! That can’t be legal!

The jury seems to enjoy it! If they continue, they might both get disqualified, though!

They are now flashing each other off!

NO! They have now turned their attention to our cameras! Cover your eyes, people!

This will definitely make the cover of the newspapers tomorrow…

We are left without a winner, but they seem to be fine with sharing the title of Ultimate Flasher. We will inform you on the decision of the jury when they have recovered.

More news at 11:00… GIZMO…CACA!

REVIEW: NECA'S ULTIMATE FLASHER RAPHAEL AND CASEY JONES 2-PACK !

 

TOYFARCE REVIEWS:

REVIEW: NECA'S ULTIMATE FLASHER RAPHAEL AND CASEY JONES 2-PACK !

After months of requests by at least 2 people (!), ToyFarce News has decided to start doing some reviews! In order not to limit ourselves, it will be a mix of old and news toys. We will try to do reviews as often as possible, in addition to our news article. The very first review is about the coveted set from NECA, the "Ultimate Flasher Raphael and Casey Jones" 2-pack!

ToyFarce News got very lucky and managed to get one of those set from the Neca store, the day it was released on their website, at the end of June. However, thanks to the global pandemic and the post system being generally crappy, the set didn't arrive until early August. That means the SDCC exclusive ones might not reach us until later sept/oct... Oh well.

 This is a very nice set with tons of accessories. Casey Jones comes with multiple weapons and set of hands, and Flasher Raph' comes with extra sets of hands, bandanas, weapons, a pizza slice, and a fedora, to the delight of a certain part of the internet community!

Now, the mandatory "same poses than on the back of the packaging" because I have no imagination:

"Class is pain 101. Your instructor is Casey Jones!"

 

"Look, I don't wanna fight you... - Well, tough rocks, pal!"

 

"A Jose Canseco bat? Tell me you didn't pay money for this..."

 

"Raphael wins!! 1-Nothiiing!"

 

Now, it was time to look into the "Ultimate Flasher" feature from the Raphael figure. We were really intrigued after NECA released the "Ultimate Flasher Gremlin", that they would also try to add that feature to their TMNT collection. 

"Wait, what are you doing?"

 

"Oh god, please don't... You win, I give up!! STOP!"

Raph also needed to "share" with his family.

"WHAT THE...? RAPH! STOP!"

 

"STOP! STOP IT THIS INSTANT, PLEASE!"

"THAT'S NOT VERY COWABUNGA OF YOU..." (Notice the different reactions...)

Front view, for those who wanted to see...it.

 

" Look! Just like in that old movie, 'The 7 year itch'! "

All in all, it's an amazing set, and I hope that all the collectors who want it will get it one way or another, after NECA solve their distribution issues. Rating: Awesome /10

What do you think about this set? Let us know in the comments! Also, let us know if you would like to see more reviews!

More news at 11:00... NO, RAPH, STOP !!
