The master. The sensei. The rat. Splinter is the original 1988 Playmates Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure — first wave, dark brown fur, ringed tail, white eyes, and that unmistakable hunched fighting stance that made him look like he could still take all four turtles in a sparring session without breaking a sweat. The fur texture sculpting on this figure is genuinely impressive for 1988 — Playmates put real detail into Splinter in a way that holds up decades later. Loose figure only, no staff or accessories included. © Mirage Studios / Playmates Toys 1988.

Why Collectors Love It:
No TMNT collection is complete without the sensei, and the 1988 Playmates Splinter is the definitive version. The fur texture sculpting is a standout detail for the era — Playmates clearly put extra effort into making Splinter look like a real character rather than a simple repaint. A loose Splinter figure only is a solid entry point for collectors building out the original wave lineup, and at this price point it's hard to argue with adding the master to the shelf.
