"This is April O'Neil reporting for Channel 6 News!" Welcome to absolute Nostalgia Madness!

This 1988/89 Playmates original is the holy grail of TMNT "human" figures, representing the very first time the Turtles' best friend was immortalized in plastic.
This specific version is the highly sought-after Blue Stripes variant, featuring the distinct blue lines on her shoulders—a detail that sets it apart for the variant-hunting community. Complete with her "Weapons Assortment" still on the plastic tree, including her camera, microphone, and pistol, this figure is a pristine snapshot of the peak Turtle-Mania era. It even features an original retail price tag, adding that authentic "toy store floor" soul. Re/Create your childhood!
