Raphael Returns to 2003 with New Playmates TMNT Figure Reissue 

Return to the hit 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series once more as Playmates is bringing back a new reissue

Get ready for the return of some modern Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nostalgia with some new collectibles from Playmates. It looks like Playmates will be reissuing their figures from the hit 2003 TMNT animated series. Just like the previous vintage releases, this set will stay true to its original release with classic packaging, articulation, and accessories. Of course, that means the entire TMNT team is ready to return home, including the arrival of Raphael. Raph has arrived and is ready to rumble with a blast from the past with signature sais, ninja stars, and Pulley Line Rider. The 2003 cartoon had a more serious ton compared to the cartoon from the 80s, which matched well with the infamous comic book series. These figures match just that with buff bodies, angry expressions, and new tools to take down The Foot. Playmates has these new 2003 TMNT cartoon reissue figures priced at $11.99 and are hitting Target shelves now, along with some online drops. 

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003) – Raphael

"This Turtle is ready to blow! Quick to anger and slow to cool off, Raphael has mastered the Sai, but hasn't been so lucky with his own temper. He works hard to control his emotions through meditation or a few rounds beatin' the heavy punching bag. Raphael is the most fearsome and fearless fighter on the team. He'll leap into battle no matter what the odds. His flashing twin Sai and furious fighting skills led Michelangelo to give him the nickname Secret Weapon."

• Highly detailed figure is authentically sculpted and decorated to be just like he appeared in 2003.
• Classic 2003 Raphael figure comes with his signature twin Sai, two Ninja Throwing Stars, and a Pulley Line Rider to fly over the Foot!
• Raph comes in retro packaging with classic 2003 graphics, for the ultimate TMNT throwback.
• Collect all the Classic figures and accessories by Playmates Toys, your headquarters for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys!
