it’s Raphael, his dead glass eyes staring bleakly from his rotting latex form.

‘Rotting Raphael’ - I don’t remember that character.

Wait, is that the guy who fronted The Beat?

Everyone will surely be surprised to learn that the Leonardo suit did not sell. I suspect a similar outcome for this auction.

Are you sure it’s not a new prop from the inevitable Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Zombies?

It looks like the realities of being a middle-aged mutant ninja turtle are hitting Raphael hard

He was a Garbage Pail Kid.

Deteriorated garbage that someone can’t seem to let go of… an accurate metaphor for my childhood memories. I can almost smell the decaying latex of my nostalgia when I look at the photos.

Not surprised at all- the movie was kind of a bomb, IMHO.
