Released in 1990 during the height of Turtlemania, this figure reimagined the hot-headed Raphael as an intergalactic explorer, complete with space helmet and futuristic blaster. The Space Cadet sub-line expanded the TMNT universe beyond the sewers of New York, giving young collectors the chance to send their heroes on cosmic adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis example is offered in honest, display-grade condition. The figure exhibits significant play wear consistent with its three decades of existence, including surface staining across the arms, face, legs, and feet. The plastic has developed the sticky residue common to vintage figures from this era—a chemical reaction collectors know as \"plasticizer migration.\" Both original accessories—the space helmet and gun—remain with the figure, though the helmet shows yellowing and scuffing from age and handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this accessible price point, Space Cadet Raphael offers nostalgia hunters and completists an opportunity to fill a gap in their TMNT roster without premium investment. While not suitable for mint-focused collections, this figure tells the story of a beloved toy line that defined a generation. Perfect for dioramas, custom projects, or simply as a placeholder until a higher-grade example surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Playmates Toys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53202096750908,"sku":"CC-PLA-TMNT-RAPH-SPC-001-ATYL","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/2596\/8956\/files\/Space_Cadet_Raphael_Figure_PLAYMATES_TOYS_1.jpg?v=1783707085","url":"https:\/\/www.jaystoysandgames.com\/products\/tmnt-space-cadet-raphael-action-figure-1990-playmates-toys","provider":"Jay's Toys And Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
