Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Shell Raphael


We've reached the last of the four brothers, and we're looking at my personal favourite Turtle - Raphael!

He comes in the blister card package which showcases Raphael up front, with the clear section in the back showing off his battle shell and extra weapons.


Raphael comes with his two sai which are a solid light grey/silver colour.


Raph's extra weapons that store in his shell are two half sai-like weapons and his two throwing stars. These are also in that same light grey colour.


And they fit in his shell nicely - and as you can see, his bandana is different in colour (obviously!) and style to that of his bros.


And he holds all of his weapons nicely, but looks badass with both his sai in hand!


Raph has two holsters on the back of his shell to store his sai, the same as his brothers. As far as articulation goes, it's exactly the same as the other three Turtles. His head's on a ball joint letting it swivel and tilt, his shoulders are on a hinge and ball so the arms can move back and forth and up and down, his elbows bend and rotate and his wrists swivel. His legs are also on a ball and hinge joint allowing them to move in and out and back and forth, and his knees swivel and bend.

Raphael is a really nice dark green making him different to the other Turtles, and he also has some different scuffs and damaged looks to his chest.


Raphael has a great paint job and, you guessed it, is cartoon accurate and just great looking. I'm really glad I picked up the four of these Battle Shell Turtles, they look great together, are all in scale with one another which is nice, and are nicely made and painted.


Go Figure!
