Scratch the Cat (Glow) – Super7 Makes Collectors’ Dreams Glow Bright!

Alright, folks, let’s talk about Scratch the Cat – the infamous cat burglar of the TMNT universe, who’s gone from sneaky to shiny with Super7’s latest glow-in-the-dark treatment. If you’re a toy collector or someone who just loves a good heist story (in figure form, of course), this one’s for you. Let me walk you through this glowing gem and why it’s clawing its way to the top of my wishlist.

Why Super7’s Scratch (Glow) is the Cat’s Meow

First off, this isn’t just any action figure. The Super7 TMNT Ultimates Scratch (Glow-in-the-Dark) 7-Inch Action Figure is a glowing homage to one of the rarest characters in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toy line. Scratch has always been the underdog—or should I say under-cat?—of TMNT villains, and this figure feels like a long-overdue spotlight moment.

This figure comes with all the cool features you’d expect: swappable heads, hands, and some delightfully quirky accessories, including a trusty hammer, a fish-shaped file (love it), and the iconic ball and chain—this time with a real metal chain. Oh, and let’s not forget the glow-in-the-dark effect, which is just chef’s kiss. I imagine him perched on a shelf glowing smugly at my other figures like he’s planning his next jailbreak.

If you’re into reimagined classics, you might also want to check out the new Super7 vintage ThunderCats figures. They’re bursting with nostalgia and pair beautifully with any retro-inspired collection.

A Rare Kitty with a Glowing Past

Now, let’s rewind a bit. Scratch the Cat was originally released by Playmates in 1993, and if you’ve ever tried to snag one, you know it’s no walk in the park. He’s considered the most valuable TMNT figure ever. How valuable? We’re talking carded figures going for £4,000-£6,000, and even loose ones fetching over £1,200.

Why so rare? A mix of low production numbers, a minor role in the franchise, and the cruel hand of toy fate made Scratch the ultimate collector’s grail. If you’ve got an original Scratch hiding in your attic, congratulations—you’re sitting on a small fortune!

Speaking of retro collectables, I’ve recently reviewed the Transformers Deluxe Megatron VHS figure, which has a vintage flair that collectors will appreciate alongside Scratch.

How Does the Glow Version Compare?

So, how does Super7’s Scratch Cat (Glow) stack up? From the photos, it’s clear they’ve gone all out with the detailing. The metallic paint accents are a nice nod to his mischievous charm, and the glowing effect takes him from “rare collectible” to “straight-up showstopper.”

While I haven’t gotten my hands on it yet (Super7, if you’re reading this, send help—preferably in the form of this figure), it’s safe to say this version is a crowd-pleaser. Sure, it doesn’t have the OG rarity, but it doesn’t need to—it’s its own masterpiece.

And let’s be real: a glow-in-the-dark Scratch is way more fun to display. I can already imagine him alongside my other Super7 TMNT Ultimates figures, glowing ominously like he’s plotting to steal my ThunderCats collection.

Nostalgia Done Right

Super7 has really nailed the nostalgia game lately. Their TMNT Ultimates line is giving us a chance to relive those Saturday morning cartoon vibes, one figure at a time. If you’re into that, check out my thoughts on their new vintage ThunderCats figures. Another stellar lineup that hits me right in the feels. Or, if robots are more your thing, you might fancy a look at the Transformers Deluxe Megatron VHS figure.

Worth the Hype?

In short: yes, yes, a thousand times yes. The Super7 TMNT Ultimates Scratch Cat (Glow-in-the-Dark) figure is not just a nod to toy history—it’s a proper celebration of it. Whether you’re a die-hard collector or just someone who loves a good glow-in-the-dark gimmick, this is a must-have.

But don’t wait too long; we all know Scratch likes to disappear quickly—especially when collectors are involved.
