Pookey

Scratch is a Playmates Toys cat cat-burglar action figure. He is one of the rarest TMNT action figures ever made and can sell for hundreds of dollars in on-line auctions. Very few were produced and he was among the last of the villains to be released by Playmates Toys. In the Archie series, Scratch's first appearance is in the December 1991 issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures as one of the 3 mutants controlling a town with poisoned water. It wasn't until April was stranded in that town with a flat tire, that she called the Turtles for help, and they were able to defeat the trio of Mutants. In this issue, written by Doug Brammer, Lovecraftian themes are evident. He is also the first boss in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue, using a ball and chain to fight. He was created by Mirage artist Ryan Brown.
