As I’m sure most of you know, there’s a lot of nostalgia surrounding Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With Rob Paulsen playing Donatello and Sean Astin taking over the role of Raphael, the show features two of the 80’s most prominent and well known voices. Well, now the show is going to have even more retro street cred, as they’ve paired up Astin with his old pal Corey Feldman for some special episodes in season 2! 
The two worked together previously on the much beloved Richard Donner film The Goonies, and haven’t really had much of an opportunity to work together since. There’s still no word on exactly who Feldman’s character will be in these new episodes, but he seems pretty happy to get the chance to work with Astin again: “The coolest part is it’s two Goonies working together again after all these years, which is crazy, because we’re all such good friends.” In the TMNT universe, Feldman is best known for playing the voice of Donatello in the first and third movie, which prompted producer Ciro Nieli to give him a gig on the show. Corey is expected to be featured in multiple episodes, which is a good sign that his character will be rather prominent and important to the series. As Cieli puts it, “his role is a perfect complement to his relationship with Sean, it couldn’t be any better.” Or could it?
We’ve been following the development of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles LEGO line for quite a while now, from the rumor stage to the box art, and now to its official release.

I’m guessing Feldman will be voicing Casey Jones! Not positive, but that’s my guess.
That is a great guess!
I bet you’re right. Casey and Raph end up being good friends, if that has to do with anything. I guess it’s related to the fact that Astin and Feldman are friends.
Good comparison Karai! You are absolutely right dude.
I agree that he might play Casey Jones because he is like Raphs good friend beside Spike that is. if he dose play Casey i wounder what he will look like?
Casey Jones is expected to be young as April O’Neil. As reported, both April and Casey are in High School during this part of the series.
i hate living in Wyoming, its the 29th of December and no store has the TMNT LEGOs yet…they’re killing me here
It is available online at the moment. The “Shop” page on the site has the link for the lego collections.
I wounder if April and Casey will go out ? if they do i dont think that Donatello would like that
Donatello would most certainly attack Casey at first.
