Raphael comes ready for action with his iconic sai weapons and accompanying stand, capturing the hot-headed Turtle's aggressive combat style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaymates Toys continued to innovate throughout the late 1990s, experimenting with materials and articulation to keep the TMNT line fresh for collectors and young fans alike. The soft head construction on this figure was designed for enhanced play durability while maintaining character detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example shows honest wear consistent with a figure approaching its third decade. The torso is stiff, affecting the figure's ability to stand independently without support—a common trait as vintage plastics age. Small colored marks are visible on the chest area, and the back of the head exhibits some tackiness typical of the soft-head material's interaction with packaging over the years. Paint wear is present but minimal on the red bandana and weapon accessories. Notably, only one sai dagger is included rather than the original pair, and the accessories have been separated from their weapon stand (stand is included).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor collectors seeking authentic 1990s TMNT pieces or fans looking to complete a Playmates Raphael run, this figure delivers vintage charm at an accessible price point. The CC-7 grade reflects its honest played-with character while remaining display-worthy for those who appreciate the evolution of the Turtles toy legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Playmates Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53189183471932,"sku":"CC-PLA-TMNT-RAPH-SH-001-9NAD","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/2596\/8956\/files\/Raphael_Soft_Head_Figure_PLAYMATES_TOYS_1.jpg?v=1783361395","url":"https:\/\/www.jaystoysandgames.com\/products\/tmnt-raphael-soft-head-action-figure-1998-playmates-toys","provider":"Jay's Toys And Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
