Vintage 90s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TMNT pin – Raphael, retro figurative accessory

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This pin depicts the character Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT), identifiable by his red mask, his distinctive "R" on his belt, and his two raised sai, the character's signature. The silhouette is cut to the shape of the turtle's body, with a dynamic pose, evoking the aesthetics of the 90s.

The visible side features polychrome printing on a metallic-looking base, showing shades of green for the shell and limbs, yellow for the plastron, and bright red for the arm and leg bands and the bandana. Black outlines highlight the character's details and the "R" lettering on the belt. The overall piece has a slightly patinated finish, typical of a retro accessory from that period.

The pin's overall condition shows signs of use and surface wear, particularly on prominent areas and colors, giving it an authentic patina. No major deformation is visible on the presented side. The back clasp is not visible in the photo, but the presentation suggests a classic system for this type of accessory.

This pin is an iconic fashion accessory from the 1990s, prized for its typical graphics of TMNT merchandise from that era. It is a compact decorative piece, easy to wear on a jacket lapel, a bag, or display on a dedicated stand.

The outlines are clean, and the cut faithfully follows the character's silhouette. The colors, although patinated, remain legible and instantly identify the world of the Ninja Turtles, a cult youth entertainment franchise from the 80s-90s.
