Raphael is Shredder with New NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Figure

Article Summary

NECA unveils a new TMNT Raphael as Shredder figure inspired by the Mirage Studios comic series.
This 7-inch action figure features comic-accurate details, fabric cape, and multiple swappable heads.
Raphael’s unique Shredder transformation from the TMNT Image Comics era is faithfully recreated.
Includes collector packaging with Kevin Eastman artwork and exclusive accessories for display.

In the edgy Image Comics Volume 3 continuation of the TMNT saga, Raphael embraces his dark side fully in a very unexpected way. Early in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series, Raphael was brutally scarred by a cyborg's laser, scarring his face. He then conceals this disfigurement with one of Casey Jones' hockey masks and, later, an eyepatch. Grappling with his rage and fractured identity, Raphael would soon stumble into the Foot Clan's battle with mobsters, uncovering one of Shredder's old forges. He emerges donning a variant of Shredder's armor, to take control of the war and wins, only to be accepted into their ranks and even takes control of the New York Foot Clan.

This wild take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Raphael did not last long, but NECA is keeping him alive and kicking with a new Mirage Studios figure. Standing 7" tall, Shredder Raph is ready to clean up the streets in a deadly new way with an impressive figure that features a fabric cape, cel-shading deco, and swappable parts. NECA has included three swappable heads, a removable shreeder mask, two sai's, and a glass with a pitcher for break time. Pre-orders for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Raphael as Shredder (Mirage Comic) are already live for $46.99 and have a Q1 2026 release date.
