It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at the TMNT: The Secret of the Ooze SDCC Exclusive Keno with Scooter set from NECA! Sure, SDCC was a while ago, and we're now closer to NYCC, but Keno had been sitting in my backlog and I totally forgot to take pictures... So a couple of months late, here is Keno with his scooter!

The set comes in a gigantic pizza box, filled with a bunch of items that will probably end up in a drawer, à la Loot Crate: the Keno w/Scooter action figure set, a Roy's Greenwich Village keychain, a Roy's Greenwich Village t-shirt, a Roy's Greenwich Village magnet and an employee of the month card of Keno from March 1991. The set was $100 which is a bit much, even if it's fun when you open it the first time, before throwing most of the content in a drawer and forget about it forever (like a lot of Loot Crate items, basically).

Keno comes with an extra head, 2 extra pairs of hands, a scooter (duh) along with the pizza box, the part to attach the pizza box to the scooter and a delivery bag, which even contains a mini cardboard pizza box. The only thing missing would have been tiny pizza slices, like the ones that came with the turtles, inside the box to complete it, but I'm nitpicking here.

The Keno figure had been long-awaited, with actor Ernie Reyes Jr teasing it for some time and it's finally here! The likeness is pretty great on both head sculpts and it's a fun figure. He has the same outfit as in the first part of the movie, before infiltrating the Foot. The scooter is a pretty cool accessory to have too. This thing can be used in so many other toy photography! Deadpool riding a scooter, Batman riding a scooter... the possibilities are endless!

"Did I mention I also study the martial arts?"

NECA has since revealed another Keno figure, in Foot training gear, that will come in a two-pack with a Foot soldier.

You do know that Ernie Reyes Jr., who played Keno in Secret of the Ooze, was the stunt performer for Donatello in the first movie. The head does look a little weird on that neck, though.

Yeah, I know. I was just commenting on the awkwardness of the neck/head combo.

That final picture looks straight out of a horror movie. "TMNT Meets John Carpenter's The Thing" or something to that effect.

I had to pass on this, just because I couldn't justify the additional price for a bunch of things that I absolutely did not need or want, with fingers crossed that NECA wouldn't want to waste all that tooling by not releasing this down the line on it's own. I'll probably pick up the Foot version in the meantime once that releases, so there's a good chance they'll get me to double-dip. Which I'm oddly cool with, apparently.
