Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 1/4 Raphael Costume Figure 42 cm

Product description : Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - 1/4 Raphael Costume Figure 42 cm

From the 1994 winter special issue of the Archie Comics series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures," this surprising figure of April O'Neil reimagined as the fifth Ninja Turtle is an unexpected and bold tribute. Signed by NECA, she stands 7 inches tall and features a detailed sculpt faithful to the retro comics style, with expressive features and a muscular silhouette. Comes with a katana, a scabbard, several interchangeable faces and hands in various poses, this figure offers numerous staging possibilities. All presented in collectible packaging illustrated by Ken Mitchroney, one of the leading artists of the TMNT universe.

Known as the Turtles' long-time ally, April O'Neil takes this new step by donning their shell to support them directly on the battlefield. This original narrative nod to the comics transforms her into a seasoned fighter, wielding a sword with bravery. Endowed with exemplary courage, April embodies the link between the human and mutant worlds, while breaking the stereotypes of the secondary character. This role as the fifth Turtle gives her a special place in the TMNT mythology, making this version all the more appreciated by longtime fans.

Since their creation in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have continued to evolve, moving from the New York underground to screens around the world. The adventures of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo have captivated several generations thanks to a unique blend of ninja combat, humor and brotherly values. The often more mature Archie Comics series offered readers alternative storylines where new faces and transformations – like April as a mutant turtle – enriched the lore. The vintage aesthetic of this version revives memories of the 90s with a well-measured touch of nostalgia.

Why choose the April as Fifth Turtle figure?

The attention to detail, the varied accessories and the faithfulness to the comics make it a must-have for any collector worthy of the name. Whether to complete a NECA series, pay homage to the Archie Comics era or simply celebrate the character of April in a new role, this figure is a real gem. It combines quality of manufacture, rich narrative and visual exclusivity to leave a unique mark on your collection!
