Figure Lore & Legacy
Master Splinter, the mutated rat and former ninja master Hamato Yoshi, debuted in Playmates’ inaugural TMNT line as the calm, wise mentor who trained the Turtles in ninjutsu and discipline. Clad in a soft fabric robe and armed with his bow and sword cane, the figure captured his mystic yet humble spirit. With articulated arms and legs and a hunched sculpt that reflected his age and wisdom, Splinter became a staple of every childhood TMNT dojo.
Did You Know?
Though Splinter came with an impressive six-piece accessory set, the cloth robe and bow are the most commonly missing components in loose figures. Despite his role as the sagely leader, Splinter’s figure had limited head articulation compared to the Turtles, emphasizing his stationary presence as a teacher rather than a fighter. He’s one of the easiest vintage TMNT figures to collect.
