The Curator

The Origin Story

I've been a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan since I was five years old. While most kids gravitated toward the four brothers, I was always drawn to the guy in the hockey mask — the one who showed up with a bag full of sports equipment and an attitude problem. Casey Jones wasn't a mutant, wasn't trained by a ninja master, and didn't have any superpowers. He was just a guy who decided to do something about it. That resonated with me then, and it still does now.

About fifteen years ago, what was a general TMNT appreciation turned into a focused obsession: building the most comprehensive Casey Jones collection I could. Every figure, every variant, every obscure piece of merchandise that featured the vigilante sportsman — I wanted it. This museum is the result of that journey.

What I Do

Outside of hunting down Casey Jones collectibles, I'm a creative and a tinkerer. I dabble in 3D scanning and photogrammetry — which is how some of the pieces in this museum have interactive 3D models you can spin around. I'm into technology, building things, and finding ways to bridge the gap between physical collections and digital experiences. This museum itself is one of those experiments.

The Collection

The Casey Jones Museum houses over 250 individual pieces spanning four decades — from a 1984 Dark Horse 25mm miniature that's one of the earliest Casey Jones items ever produced, all the way to the latest NECA and JoyToy releases. The collection includes action figures, statues, pins, masks, vehicles, playsets, art prints, autographed items, movie props, custom pieces, 3D prints, and plenty more.

Every piece has a story. Some were lucky finds at flea markets. Some were the result of months-long hunts across the internet. Some were gifts from friends and family who know exactly what to get the guy who collects hockey-mask-wearing vigilantes. This isn't just a shelf of toys — it's a museum of memories, and I'm glad you're here to see it.
