TMNT Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Scale Tail Playmates Action Figure 2025

A Deep-Cut TMNT Villain Gets the Retro Reissue Treatment! 🐢🐍

Scale Tail isn't a character that casual TMNT fans throw around at dinner parties — and that's exactly what makes this figure so satisfying for the dedicated collectors. This 2025 Playmates Toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Scale Tail Retro Reissue brings one of the more obscure villains from the classic 1980s TMNT lineup back to shelves in faithful retro style, packaged on a classic-style cardback that looks like it could have come straight off the original toy aisle pegs.

Scale Tail is the kind of character that rewards the fans who went deep into the original TMNT toy line — the ones who didn't stop at the four Turtles, Shredder, and Bebop and Rocksteady, but kept going until they'd tracked down every mutant, every alien, and every bizarre villain that Playmates packed into that golden era of TMNT merchandise. Getting Scale Tail as part of the modern retro reissue lineup is a genuine treat for that audience.

At approximately 5 inches tall and presented in retro-style bubble-on-card packaging, this figure captures the spirit and aesthetic of the original 1980s releases while giving a new generation of collectors access to a classic character without hunting down vintage originals at vintage prices.

Whether you're building out the full 2025 TMNT retro reissue lineup, a longtime fan who always had a soft spot for the deeper villain roster, or a collector who just appreciates when Playmates digs into the back catalog for a release like this — Scale Tail is ready to slither onto your shelf.
