1988 Playmates TMNT Raphael Carded AFA 75+ - Enclosed within a professional UV-protected acrylic display case by the Action Figure Authority, this factory-sealed 1988 Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Raphael action figure stands as an elite investment-grade treasure from the historic first series debut wave. The mint-condition, red-masked hero features the highly coveted original ”soft plastic head” formulation and remains completely untouched under the blister pack alongside his brown ninja weapons rack containing twin sai, turtle fist daggers, ninja stars, and a kama. Authenticated and assigned serial registry number 14218484, the piece achieves a highly respectable overall grade of 75+ (Excellent/Near Mint) driven by sub-grade metrics of card 80, bubble 75, and figure 75. The vintage retail 10-back card configuration shows flat, vibrant comic-book layout graphics with a completely unpunched peg hook tab, representing a premier cornerstone piece for advanced animation historians and high-tier collectors alike.
