Great job on the restoration. Casey Jones looks good!

[@TheRetroTinker]

Thanks mate, I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@Insaneinthetoybrain-dp1ch]

Man you really brought that one back to life epic work mate.
Those Camo Troopers have so much hidden detail 😂

[@TheRetroTinker]

Thanks mate, I appreciate it! Yeah they must have some talented artists at Tinkertrocious Toys 😜😂

[@gazz_N7]

Per-fect!! Paint looks great, and what an cool fix for the arm, the tape was something that K.C. did on the fly. Camo Troopers 🤣, brilliant!! Awesome stuff buddy 😘👍

[@TheRetroTinker]

Thanks mate! I can totally see him “fixing” his broken arm with packing tape 😂 Glad you liked it buddy!

[@ScottCrusher]

Wow Nate, old mate Casey Jones never looked so good! I love the upgrades like the exposed silver in the mask and the painted laces👏👏

[@TheRetroTinker]

Cheers Scott! I’m glad you liked it!!

[@TheRetroTinker]

Thanks so much mate!!

[@Teriyaki_Emu]

G'day Nate. Fabulous Restoration👍. Thanks for sharing. Now where can you recommend me to buy Camo'-Troopers from ??? LOL😜 Cheers

[@TheRetroTinker]

Haha they’re in all good department stores…if you can find them 😜 thanks for watching!

I'll have to send you a boxful of stuff to paint... I can't paint for Shinola! 😅

[@TheRetroTinker]

Bring it on buddy 😆

Excuse me but does this smell
Like chloroform? That’s awesome!
The mask highlights are brilliant! I personally love the back story, Donny made a metal mask and Casey has been head-buttin’ people.
Playmates really had a formula for humans. Casey and all of the Dick Tracy line all have the right hand trigger finger, left hand is at an angle and a bow-leg stance.

[@TheRetroTinker]

Thanks Adam! I’m glad you liked it! I dare say the stance helped make the figures balance better, or maybe they just liked the “action pose” 😆

[@ADAM_COLLECTS]

@@TheRetroTinker probably helped them fit in the bubble too! It would also look daft if the human character were stood up straight like a Kenner Star Wars but the turtles were dynamic

[@TheRetroTinker]

That’s true I do remember something about them bending shredder over to fit in the blister because he was so tall. And yeah it would look boring if all the humans looked like they were just waiting for the bus 😆
