Scratch is from 1993, not the original 1988 ones. The original ones from 1988 are called 10 backs, as the cardboard that backed these had 10 different figures on the back, thats from 1988. See below
The way i see it is like this, i might not be 100% right though, but the first figures were made with 2 heads, clearly a soft and hard version. Now one of them came before the other, meaning thats the first series released. Not sure if it was the soft or hard heads that came first. You can tell the difference, im not sure but i think one of the variants you can see a visable seem where the head has been made using 2 pieces, not one piece like the other variant. For anyone thats interested there is a website called The Technodrome, its a forum based in the US, and there are some seriously crazy collections over there, but also some very knowledgeable people who are very willing to help. Im just getting back into TMNT collecting so this is where ive been doing a lot of research.
My new mailday is the 10 back 1988 Donatello, so I have both the 1988 10 back and 1990 Donatello's still in packaging, picked them both up for about $40 each, might have been a few dollars less. Im on a mission to get all the original 10 backs, 2 down 8 to go

Heres the last one i picked up http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TMNT-198...8580?pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item2a2a91b514
Dont pay too much for them guys. There is a lot of overpriced stuff out there, you just need to be patient and wait for it.
Heres one from the US http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Teenage-...5959?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item2a2a4119d7
You might get them a little cheaper from the US but you will also pay a lot more in postage.
