A fearless field reporter with first-wave pedigree! 🎤 The 1988 Playmates Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles April O’Neil, graded AFA 85 NM+ with subgrades C85/B85/F80, is a premium archival example from Series 1, released on the 10-back card featuring the blue stripes variant—one of the earliest and most sought-after versions of April in the TMNT line.

🧠 Variant & Packaging Highlights

• The blue stripes variant refers to the vertical striping on April’s jumpsuit—distinct from later versions with orange trim or revised head sculpts.

• The 10-back card features the original TMNT lineup: the four turtles, Splinter, Shredder, Foot Soldier, April, and Rocksteady & Bebop.

• This version retains the original head sculpt, making it one of the most desirable April configurations among variant-focused collectors2.
