Wow...well, to be expected I suppose. I'm pretty confident they will do something pretty cool with it - let's hope! It would be awesome for them to have lots of info on past incarnations of the TMNT as well as plenty of media/links, etc, so new fans are able to get to know everything the TMNT are and have been (and not have the site be 100% devoted to being a current show marketing channel).

I seriously doubt any info on the Mirage comics, old cartoons, or even the IDW comics will be there.

I could see them having a section for the IDW comic... maybe. And possibly a brief overview of TMNT history, but nothing too in-depth.

Its a shame the old site was trashed. I loved how it had summaries for all the comics and cartoon episodes, as well as pictures of all the toys.
Before I actually bought all the comics I used to read the summaries of them on the site just to see what happened in them. It was a great reference when I was younger.
I actually had been visiting the site since 1997. I remember back then they were hyping up the Next Mutation...lol.

I started to buy the comics around 2001/2002 when Volume 4 was starting, so I decided to go backwards.
First I got all the Image series, then Volume 2, then I went back and tried to get all of Volume 1. Additionally I had some Archie issues from my childhood but there was a large chunk I never had.
Luckily back in the early 2000's almost every comic was available to buy on ninjaturtles.com. I actually bought the entire Image series from them, which I am glad I did as they were all sold out sometime after.

I am glad that I have the site's content mostly saved to my hard-drive.
However, it was convenient to still have the old site around to pull up quick references of episode listings and descriptions.
But... it IS time for a new, revamped website. Let's hope Nick creates some nice for the long haul.
The site will likely only be about the Nick cartoon.
I seriously doubt any info on the Mirage comics, old cartoons, or even the IDW comics will be there.
That's probably a safe bet. When it comes to business and marketing it's pretty much all about "The Now," without much regard for the past.

Thank goodness for sites and archive.org (hopefully the Foot Soldiers won't give that robots.txt prohibition) that we've provided since it's the best way to understand classic TMNT. I knew it was just a matter of time. The old site was pretty "old school" in style by the time it was taken down (no social media and in-site video). But the new site will show that it isn't your papa's turtles.

I think its the same case as Mirage. Nick owns any of the characters that were created for the original cartoon, but they don't own the actual episodes or the theme song.
Same reason the original theme song wasn't used in Turtles Forever, they simply don't own the rights to it.

Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
As the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme song said, Michelangelo is a party dude, and that hasn't changed. But call him Mikey. He's the smallest and least mature of his brothers and he wrestles with major ADD. A sucker for every fad, he's a social animal who hops on every pop culture bandwagon and rides. More than anything he longs to be part of the real world and insists that people will accept the turtles as equals if given the chance.

My understanding was that the reason "Kuno-ich" were so effective was because they first distracted their male "targets/opponents" with their alluring beauty. Thus, they had the advantage of luring them into a false sense of security.
And I just can't see April becoming an "assassin" in a Nick cartoon. So... I guess we'll just wait and see.:toops:

I've never been overly fond of the whole 5th Turtle idea personally. :trazz:
Mikey sounds a lot like 4Kids Mikey, who I liked so I am still on a kind of wait and see thing. Leonardo and Raphael sound pretty standard Leo and Raph which pleases me greatly and Don sounds like Don with a "MEGA CRUSH ON APRIL" *laughs*
I like watching Don be socially awkward and if this is handled well it could actually be kind of funny in a "Big Bang Theory" humor type of way.
Just please show don't turn April into an all powerful mary-sue type character and I think this show will be good!

I like the Kraang design the most, and the others aren't bad or I'll get used to them. And yet, they remind me of Kubricks figures or that could be the way my brain is reading their poses.

Apologies, then. I haven't really started to pay attention to the Nicktoon until recently. It looks like a gap to me, which is fine. I assume it's to play on their youthful aspects... or he lost it in a battle. Heh. The latter is doubtful, due to the child rating.
I might as well ask, as I haven't read enough of the comic issues, but have the Turtles lost any teeth during battle? It would make for a fun thread dealing with that, I suppose.

2k3 Karai? Probably. This excites me, because now if they actually do bring in Karai, she can be the strong character she was in Mirage.
The Kraang are visually based upon the Utroms but that's it. They're basically your generic "invade Earth" evil aliens.

Meanwhile, ninjaturtles.com is back to its old self for now. I really hope April doesn't get mutated into a turtle (maybe for a few episodes, but if its permanent, it would be really sad and too Venusy like others have said). Since there will likely be a generation gap between "classic" Ninja Turtles (up to Turtles Forever) and New TMNT, it will be interesting how ninjaturtles.com evolves given that there is a classics line and perhaps a Season 10 OT DVD coming out. I'd like to see a Nick TMNT on Facebook link soon as well.

Splinter kinda looks like a monk... Brother Splinter? *lol*
So in this version Splinter is a Jedi Master and April is his padowan?
After all the endless "Shredder = Darth Vader" comparisons, why not? Adventures did it pretty well, and I actually don't mind an April who can kick posterior without always having to defer to the Turtles.
Besides, OT Splinter always did have me think of Obi-Wan (thank you, 'Return of the Technodrome'), so, yeah, sure, why not go with there?

Characters and then i click on the character... like Kraang and April
Ok I figured out whats bugging me about April. I think she's cuter than her figure made her seem, and definitely has a bit more detail to her face, but her ear looks like it's on the back of her head, and her forearms look like they're half-a-length too long. Since her head is more of an oval shape, with nothing to define where her jaw is, it just looks like her jaw reaches to her ear and connects to her ear, which is the back of her head.

Wow, guys. This looks awesome already!:tgrin:
TMNT Master, bring on the quiz! I’m ready to take mine!
Bummer, I wish I could get on the website. I tried just typing in the official Nickelodeon site, and I’m still not getting the images and what not.:tsad:
Plus, LOVE the character descriptions. Raphael, now, may not only be jealous of Leo this time.:tlol: I like it. I hope Don is good on this one. He may be geeky, but something tells me, he’s going to be a bumbling fool around April.
Leo’s bio is okay. I mean, yeah, he’s still in training, but what exactly gets in his way when he wants to lead?:tconfuse: I read the back of the action figure cardboard from the Toy Ark site. It says that it’s his inexperience and “rowdy brothers.” I guess that does bring a good teenage aspect to the story. If another obstacle is self-doubt, I wouldn’t mind a minimal of it. Then there’s Mikey – I don’t care if he’s still the party dude. I think he’ll still be cool in this one!
Plus, the descriptions of Splinter and Shredder. Either Splinter is reincarnated, or it’s just like the old toon where he’s mutated with human contact. And Shredder, oh my god, SHREDDER! He has a daughter named Miwa. If this is Splinter’s daughter, I’d think that would be an interesting take. Now I won’t have to worry about Karai being his daughter. Finally! Yet, will Miwa be an infant or a teenager? I’m hoping a teenager, because then we’ll know if the turtles grew up together in fifteen years or whatever it will be now.
I want more images! No, not images! I want clips! Come on, guys! Bring on the clips!:thyper:

Why did Mike's bio say "As the original theme song says, Mike's a party dude."
I mean, wuh? This show is aimed at new young kids who have no knowledge of older TMNT series. Why are they already throwing in a reference to a theme song from a show from 25 years ago?
7 year old Timmy watching Turtles on Nick will have never seen the original cartoon.
Why do they have an alien race called "The Kraang"? I guess they are trying to appeal to old toon fans.

Not only that but why are they referencing a song they don't even own? It wouldn't surprise me if they bought the rights to the original theme song and had a remake of it in the new show since it's so iconic and catchy.

I, in no way what so ever, mean to sound rude here, but honestly, why does it matter? They know that there will be OT fans watching the show and are throwing them a bone. If anything we should be happy, because this not only shows that Nick knows we exist, but it also informs kids that there was another Ninja Turtles show before this one.:)
Besides, look at all us here, we are viewing it before any children. There are people out there that will understand what Mikey's bio is referring to and that's what counts. :tgrin:
And I don't think it is wrong to reference something that they don't own. But I have to agree, the original song is catchy and it would be cool if they remixed it.:tcool:

I pretty much like the designs overall, though I'm not a big fan of what they did with Splinter. I feel Splinter should be a more "Yoda-like" figure; small, humble, meek... as in, you're quite sure what he's capable of by looking at him. Just a thought, but not meaning to be negative. :D

I think it was referencing Raphael having a rather "alpha male" personality, he tends to strut around trying to be the boss and exerting his macho persona on those around him.

And while the toy color might not reflect the cartoon 100%, it's still clearly not a red.

I love what they're doing with the individuality of the Turtles and Splinter...Mikey wanting to be accepted into human society is a big bone thrown to us comic fans in my opinion, and it's an essential part of Mikey's depth - thank you Nick!
Thanks for all the info guys, I'm pumped...
Does anybody else find it awesome that April is wearing UGG boots? Lol!

thankyou but some one else already did that. Thanks for trying to keep me in the loop though.
I just read the descritptions and I'm liking them so far. Shredder's bio in particular intrigues me. He blames Splinter for the death of his "true love?" that is interesting, it makes me think that at one point Shredder may have been a decent guy, especially the description that it robbed him of all warmth and human compassion. Maybe Shredder will turn out to be some sort of tragic character or anti-hero. I think I would love a spin like that on his character.
Mikey's description bugs me, oh man why! WHy does he have to be shoe-horned into this mold? However the description "he insists that humans can accept them as equals if given a chance" can make for some great character driven stories for him. It seems Nick is are really going play up his niave and innocent side which could serve for him trusting humans--the wrong kind of humans, in his eagerness to prove his point. Maybe even learning a tough life lesson. It would be really neat if they did a story arc with Mikey. Like in the cartoon Gargoyals where Lexington shows himself to the Pack and they decieved and attacked him for sport. I would love to see a episode like that involving Mikey. If they play up this side of him, I will easily over-look his ADHD immature, pocultural addict side of his personality.

I think that would be cool too, but it wouldn't explain why he's the leader of an evil ninja clan or teaming up with a group of aliens who want to take over the planet.

Properly snapped after his so called "true love" married Splinter. Also, maybe he's just power hungry and working with the kraang is his way of getting that power.

This might (does) sound stupid but I'm going to throw it out there anyway, this doesn't stop us from posting links to the pictures correct?:tconfuse:
Sorry, but direct links to the pictures can't be posted on the forums, either.
Can we still talk about what we saw...?
As far as I know, yes, that's still ok.
Does that mean I should change my signature?
It wasn't mentioned specifically in either of the notices I received, so I assume you're ok for now.

Not at all. A bunch of content got out before it was supposed to. It leaves them with no oppurtunity to surprise anyone thanks to a glitch or a crappy job on part of somebody working on their site. Who could blame them? I mean this stuff was found through sneaky means, wasn't it?

There's a difference between finding it, and cutting corners. They wanted to unveil it on their own time to surprise us.
Besides, any of that content could be subject to change. Yeah we're close, but you never know. Also, work on your grammar.

I'm not sure how someone found it... although it did have a "development" tag in the URL if I remember right. Part of me wonders if Nick was expecting a leak. I mean, how long did it take for them to stop it up?
I still refuse to expect a new website soon.

On Friday when you guys started finding everything I wasn't able to access any of it myself. But on Saturday night when I went to nick.com/tmnt I found (and saved) everything.

Jester was kind enough to do so already. I do appreciate it. I hope Rose can keep it up for awhile anyway. Hope its still there but I have seen it now. Its just I jumped in the middle of a conversation and I am more of the idea man not the tech-head.:P

I wouldn't call it "sneaky." From what I understand, the site was just insecure enough so that anybody could type in the right address and see a sneak peak of of the content. And because of screen capture technology, that was all we needed; no hacking or other devious practices required.

Yeah a few old ones, but mostly new Splinter and APril looked quite wierd, and the kraan look like the original krang but with wierd green eyes and rabies.

I guess Rose's site had to remove it,huh?
April and Splinter are going have to work hard to impress me these designs are lacking. Though the TMNT have grown on me and the same with Shredder. Krang/The Kraang have two tentacles on each side instead of two long, one on each side and green eyes as Josh states above.
I read that three new mutants are apart of the new show Fishface,Dogpound, and Snakeweed. These are supposed to be apart of Playmates wave #2 but I think have only been seen in blurred shots of wave #1 from about three weeks ago . I only got their names yesterday. While Nick is making their own and are using older little knowns like Metalhead to me anyway it would have mae more since to fleshout Scale Tail instead of some Snakeweed character. There is Intergalactic Wrestler Houndog but we could use him and the Fishface. Who know we may learn to love them. Lets hope the next leak will give us more info on them or details to a possible next incarnation of Rat King and Leatherhead(villain please!).

Wow, a rare "Triple Post" from Rose!
I thought it was funny how the BleedingCool site claims (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/03/08/scoop-new-images-for-the-new-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-tv-show/) "A source has just sent us these images."
So, Rose, were you that "source," that may or may not have actually "sent" it to them?

Hell no it wasn't me. The only place my info goes is on my site. But whoever sent them those only sent the re-sized versions Blogger makes, not the original versions (which is how I can tell exactly that they came from my site).

Nickelodeon is gonna have to call rank on a bunch of site if they really want these pics off the net. They're on Deviantart, BleedingCool, and some of those other pop-culture news sites.
EDIT:
I just read this on the BleedingCool (http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/03/08/scoop-new-images-for-the-new-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-tv-show/) story. Maybe that's what triggered the censors, since they used the "S-word."
Now, it’s a complicated story, but credit where due: Ninja Pizza actually managed to steal these off of the Nickelodeon website before we were sent them. And with the admiration we’d normally reserve for a heist in a cheesy B-movie, we doff our caps in their direction.
