Packaging… seen it… loved it. Still love it. Raph is posed on the card holding a Sai in each hand and he looks awesome. Apart from the name change on the bubble insert, everything is the same as Leo and Don’s packages. It still feels wrong to rip these guys open, but…

This time, let’s start out with his head’s sculpt and paint… oh, thank god, his eyes are ok. Raph’s features another angry grimace, this time showing teeth in both corners of his mouth. Once again, there are more the “I’m going to murder the shit out of you” Turtles, as opposed to “Let’s pal around and have some pizza.” His eye mask is a nice shade of red and, once again, man does he look angry.

As expected, the body is basically the same as Leo and Don, only this time with his wrist bands, kneepads and elbowpads all painted red to match his eyemask. You get the same fantastic 34 points of articulation, which has already been cataloged in the Leonardo feature. There is one other difference in the body, Raph doesn’t have the baldric, just the belt. The belt features a belt buckle with “R” sculpted and painted on, and there’s a slot on each side of the belt buckle for his Sai.

Yes, Raph comes with his trademark Sai weapons. They’re pretty well done, cast in silver/grey plastic and the grips are painted red to match his whole ensemble, and he can hold them pretty well. You also get the manhole cover stand with Raph’s name printed on it. Not an abundance of accessories, but you certainly get what you need.

And there ya go… Like Leonardo, Raphael is a stellar figure. He avoids the eye paint issues that plague Don, so as far as I’m concerned, there is no bad here. Raph is incredibly fun to play around with and looks amazing. Tomorrow we’ll see if Playmates can round the team out without dropping the ball… It’s Michaelangelo!
