Raphael the Ninja Turtle

He came into existence in a dark and filthy place. His body scared from his life of pain and violence.

Ages three and up. Says so on the box.

Some fan-art as thanks to Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird for all the fun.

I remember discovering the original black and white comic book way back in the 1980’s . It blew my mind. Crudely drawn, graphically brilliant, and bursting with imagination, it was something that came up from the street out of nowhere, a bit like the Turtles themselves.

My buddies and I played the brilliantly titled role-playing game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness for years. They still blog about there old characters to this day! Here are our characters of you are interested. fav.me/d1awto1

Anyway I haven’t thought of the Turtles in years. Well, I just bought my self a new action figure the other day, and it look’s pretty cool. Apparently there is a new cartoon. I ain't seen it but I sure do like the toy.

Breaking from the look of the classic comic book Turtles the eyes can be seen through his mask and he has three toes rather than two. I figure this makes more sense considering he has three digits on his hands so why not three on his toes. As for the eyes… I dunno, I wanted to see his eyes.
