Offered here is a rare first shot prototype from the 2008 Playmates re-release of the original 1988 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure sculpt. Cast entirely in unpainted green plastic, this piece represents an early test shot used in the production process, prior to final paint applications and detailing.

This prototype features:

    •    Original sculpt design faithful to the iconic 1988 release
    •    Fully intact production belt and Nunchucks (nunchaku) weapons (included and matching the standard release)
    •    Unique all-green coloration, characteristic of first shot figures and used for mold and tooling evaluation
    •    Excellent overall condition, with tight joints and no visible damage

First shots like this are seldom seen outside of Playmates’ internal development process and are highly sought after by prototype collectors and TMNT aficionados alike. They offer a fascinating glimpse into the manufacturing process and represent a unique intersection of toy history and pop culture legacy.

A standout piece for any serious Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collector or vintage action figure enthusiast.
