Rarest TMNT Action Figure Worth $16,000

Collectors have long debated which vintage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figure is the rarest, and Scratch the Cat—from the final wave of the original Playmates line—has achieved almost legendary status among fans. Worth a staggering $16,000, this particular figure's value skyrocketed due to a specific piece of fabric attached to it. The scarcity comes down to timing and production runs; Scratch was released late in the line's life when fewer figures were being manufactured. For serious TMNT collectors, owning an original Scratch is basically the Holy Grail moment.
