*Quick to anger and slow to cool off, Raphael has mastered his twin sai blades, but not his own temper. Easily the most fearsome and fearless fighter of the group, Raphael often leaps into battle no matter what the odds... and often without looking first. *Source: File Card on back of packaging.
*In 1984, Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman created and published a 40-page black and white comic, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were born. The comic was dark and edgy, and the look of the Turtles reflected that style. In the color version of the comics, all of the Turtles were the same shade of green and all of their bandanas were red. Only their signature weapons helped to visually differentiate each brother. These action figures pay homage to that earlier TMNT character style. *Source: playmatestoys.com
