They seem alright to me, except for Shredder but whatevs.

[TurtleTitan97]

Looks! It's intresting!

Indeed it is. Thanks for sharing this.

Now I'm more curious to see the new designs.

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

I'll be excited for the first leaked pics of these new upcoming toys! They sound like they could be interesting!!

[TigerClaw]

Here's the the whole thing in quotes.
THE TURTLES

- Each turtle has the weapons they should have. (YAY!) 2 swords for Leo, a staff for Don, 2 sais for Raph, a pair of nunchucks and a three sectioned staff for Mikey.
- Each turtle looks LIKE A TURTLE and not alien...at all. (BIGGER YAY!) In fact the designs are quite traditional and unremarkable, and feature far less texture than the 80's movie turtles. Eyes are fairly normal and not cartoonishly large. No beak along the nose area like some speculated. Three fingers and two toes.
- The sort of hunched over posture present in the actors in those leaked set pictures is present here.
- Amazingly, each character appeared to have a different physique with some (like Raphael and Leonardo) having super heroey muscle tone (though Raph appears more pumped up than Leo) and Donatello appearing slimmer..leaner. Michelangelo could possibly be slightly shorter than the rest.
- Each turtle's mask matches the color from the cartoons.
- Styles of dress are different as well with Leonardo in a sort of pseudo samurai gear get up including shoulder armor, some leg bits, arm bracer and foot wear up to the calf with bindings showing. He might have some armor (non metal) along his chest as well. Donatello's gear is a mix of techy, modern and a dash of samurai with more normal footwear (for a 2 toed giant turtle), some gadget on his head and gadgetry coming off of his shell. The ends of his mask are far longer than the rest, draping down to his waist. Raphael has adopted an urban warrior look with white, bandage-like wrappings on his feet, right leg, and right arm. He wears this very conan-esque loin cloth..thing..with leather straps draping down as if he were more suited for gladiatorial battle. Michelangelo's outfit seems the simplest with a hoodie wrapped around his waist, pants and sneakers with the toes cut out, wrappings on his hands and forearms, a necklace (could be puka shell beads?) and his mask ends drape down to his chest. He looks frighteningly ready to spit out some modern catch phrases.

SPLINTER

- Again, a very traditional design.
- Hair pulled up in a samurai..nub? Fu Manchu facial hair going on.
- His eyes seemed a little odd but I couldn't make out what was going on there.
- Slightly tattered samurai outfit with a blue upper half with gold accents, tan lower belted robes and blocky sandals.
- Comes with a samurai sword.

APRIL O'NEIL

- Nothing out of the ordinary here, especially since we saw her on set in her yellow jacket. Blue jeans, black boots up to her knees and a satchel across her chest.
- Worth noting the figure doesn't much look like her.
- Comes with a camera and 2 sai knives.
- Also might be worth noting she doesn't look very articulated and her heels may present a standing issue.

THE SHREDDER

- This guy looks like he owns stock in the Ronco knife company! Pointy edges coming off of absolutely anything. He'll be the stuff of ridicule for some time. Very overcomplicated outfit.
- Helmet is pseudo-traditional, adopting elements of the classic look (mostly the shape and key elements) with the top coming down over the eyes to the nose. Mouth area is recessed.
- Describing the rest of this armor is a nightmare. Suffice to say, even though he's covered head to toe in metal armor or blades, his arms are still mostly bare. It's a bit comical. He's got the shoulder pieces with the blades coming off them, the shin armor with the blades coming off them, black armor areas to offset the steel parts and a cape that looks metal with blades coming down the side. I'd expect we'll see him whip that around in battle.
- His only weapons (beyond his whole body) seem to be the bladey thingies coming off his forearm armor. The one on his right arm seems incredibly complicated..maybe a spinning blade?

FOOT SOLDIER

- No surprises here at all..just as drab as the goons in masks we saw on set.
- The figure designs are a bit more colorful with a brownish scarf, blue vest, black arms, tan pants, grey knee pads and black boots. They also seem to have made the mask more of a grey than the copper look we saw on set.
- The changes in colors and such lead me to wonder if they did that for the toy line just to bring something out for kids beyond a boring black outfit or has there been changes to the Foot Soldier's look? Our bet is the former. Makes little sense to put out figures that don't match the movie look, though....but it's not like it hasn't happened before.
- Figure comes with a small hand gun, a larger rifle and a knife. You may be able to strap the smaller gun to his leg in a holster sculpted on.

What I find interesting in the info is that it says, that there eyes are normal and not as big as the cartoon versions. I guess they have human like eyes?

[Powder]

Well they match the descriptions I was given a while ago. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen.

[darthwahl56]

The turtle desciptions sound kind of like the next mutation turtle thrashers, you know the ones with the skateboards and they have different outfits.

I will hold out for a Whoopi Goldberg Burping action stuffed animal for this movie line.

[Candy Kappa]

Can't say I'm all that excited by the description. Splinter sounds to be the better design, while Shredder... Oh poor Shredder. The more spikes the better, eh?

Foot figures sounds like a huge pass for me

[Chris]

Very interesting.

On one hand I like the idea of the Turtles having unique looks, but at the same time I don't want them to go too far with it (Leo in pseudo Samurai gear sounds good to me, Raph in a loin cloth not so much). Still, I'm intrigued and certainly willing to reserve judgement until I see them for myself. Part of me wonders if these are just variants though.

Splinter sounds fine and so does April (shame about the likeness and lack of articulation but sadly I was sort of expecting that).

Shredder. I'll give him the dignity of reserving judgement until I see him for myself but it doesn't sound promising.

[NinjaPug]

Everything sounded good for the Turtles until the style of dress part. Mikey with a hoodie and necklace. Ugh.

[CyberCubed]

Don't like the idea of the turtles wearing armor or street clothes, what's wrong with their traditional look? Is it because they're naked?

Also surprised to see them keep the two toes look, because otherwise they are the same as the Nick turtles, with Don being skinnier and taller and Mikey being the shortest.

Shredder's design sounds horrible. But what can we expect from a white Shredder Eric Sachs.

[bridgegrn]

Not a fan of the clothing thing :/ I'm happy to hear that outside of that they look traditional. That Mikey description reminds me of fan art that was posted before...

[NinjaPug]

That report also gave us a small movie synopsis:

New York City. Crime rates are on the rise and innocent civilians tremble in fear. But there's a force fighting back, vigilantes among us ready to protect the city. Are they the heroes we expect them to be? And are they powerful enough to take down the masked warrior everyone fears...the Shredder?

[Andrew NDB]

"a pair of nunchucks and a three sectioned staff for Mikey."

lol... of course he has that in this movie. Of course he does. Any guess as to which weapon he will not actually be hitting anyone with in the movie?

[Zachatello00]

Sounds pretty consistent with everything else I've heard/seen/experienced: Disappointing.

[The Stryker]

I kinda like the clothes idea.

They're so influenced by pop culture and the human world and they spend most of their time fighting dudes with guns and swords. Why WOULDN'T they put on alittle something?

[Electric]

like how theyre keeping the turtles different. big things like buff leo, even buffer raph, lean donnie and short mikey, and little things like donnie having a longer mask.

Not crazy about the clothes part. i think itll be a little overboard and distracting, but we'll see. atleast they varied it, and didnt have them all wearing the same thing. just hope its only for part of the movie.

shredder sounds overdone. if there are THAT many spikes thats disapointing. but again we'll see. i guess if he can fight and use them in a realistic way it wouldnt be bad.

[Ramboraph4life aka Matt]

So...there's the possibility that Raphael may be running around New York City in a loin cloth?

(I'm just mainly talking to myself to make sure I read that right.)


Well, unless he crushes his enemies. Sees them driven before you. And hears the lamentations of the women aka April O'Neil aka Megan Fox. Then I'll be ok with it.

[snake]

They sound disappointing, hopefully the pictures prove me wrong.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

With cameras being as small and sneaky as they are nowadays, I'm a little bummed nobody was able to snap a pic or two of these. Dying to get a peek at the characters, even it is just in toy form.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

The clothing idea made me a little uneasy at first, especially Raph, but I have to say (and please don't shoot me!!) I kinda like Mikey's clothing description :shifty:

[Slap-Happy]

Loving the clothes. It's something I always thought would make sense for them.

They're teens. They'd want to wear something that they think is cool. It's not like they can get a haircut or something. Gotta express themselves in some way.

As for Shredder... Sounds like we might have another Green Goblin type thing on our hands.

[tmnt transformer]

The clothing idea made me a little uneasy at first, especially Raph, but I have to say (and please don't shoot me!!) I kinda like Mikey's clothing description :shifty:

I couldn't resist.....

[DONATELLO DUZMACHINES]

Mikey and Raph's clothing description has me worried the most. Manly the cut out gum shoes and panys on Mikey, but ill reserve judgement till I see the final product. Donnies outfit sounds interesting with the tech mixed in with Samurai gear, Splinters design sounds awesome. Glad to hear that they have the individual Nick body types. Cant wait to see the real deal.

[Donatello19]

The turtles don't sound too bad, I'm not too big on them wearing clothing though. I wish they would've used the three toe'd look but oh well. Their armor also sounds like a bit much...I have a bad feeling that these are gonna feel more like turtle variants than actual, basic figures. Oh, and Don's bandanna going down to his WAIST? That's a bit too long, no? I can't completely judge until I actually see the figures...

Splinter doesn't seem like he's dramatically different...but I still want to see him, of course.

Shredder sounds kinda weird...I hope the guy who wrote the article was exaggerating the amount of spikes on the figure.

The Foot sound horrible. Probably because I really hate how they're going to look in the movie itself.

April sounds ok...I mean, it's not really going to look like an April figure than a generic human, but whatever.

Overall not too impressed. However, my opinions will probably drastically change when I actually see what the figures look like.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Michelangelo's description sounds a little odd, but Leonardo and Donatello's appearance sounds pretty cool.

Apparently April O'Neil's high heeled boots may cause standing issues. Too bad she doesn't have the huge Ugg boots like cartoon April. That figure is super easy to stand.

[RaphAndDonnie]

The turtles sound good. Nice to hear they're keeping them looking different. Splinter's design sounds eh...but I guess I'll have to see it to actually form a good opinion. Shredder's designs though...they're really overloading him with blades except for his...arms? Comical sounding indeed. Not too big on the clothing but whatever.

[chrisdude]

I'm glad the turtles' designs are getting some more personality. There's no reason the turtles wouldn't wear clothes, or that Donnie doesn't carry gadgets. With the exception of whatever Raph is wearing, it all sounds good to me. Especially Mikey.

Shame how they got pictures for Spider-Man and Captain America, but only descriptions for TMNT. But the toys are out there, we should see them soon enough...

[AquaParade]

This movie is going to be a blast. The descriptions sound awesome for the most part. I was hoping there'd be some secret ninja-garbed Foot revealed, but I'll survive because I think the turtle descriptions sound totally awesome.

[psychturtle]

Certainly one of you can find a leaked picture of these figures! I'm not tech savvy.

[TurtleMikey]

Agreed.

Outside of being Turtles and living in the sewer, they act just like humans and are influenced by much of their culture.

So, why wouldn't they wear clothes? I mean, despite not having genitalia, they are still naked. And I'm sure they'd be predisposed to being somewhat uncomfortable with that.

Or on the other side of the spectrum, just comfortable with wearing clothing, or even armor, they like or feel they need, as well as being all natural.

And thats just scratching the surface.

I mean really. When you think about it, there are more reasons why they would, than why they wouldn't.

[TurtleMikey]

Certainly one of you can find a leaked picture of these figures! I'm not tech savvy.

The New York Toy Fair is next month, so we'll see them sooner rather than later.

[Venom]

Well they match the descriptions I was given a while ago. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen.

"Wow, Powder's source was legit!" = Pretty much my thought when reading about Leo. 8)

[Powder]

I made mention of Mikey's pants & some other stuff too. :trazz: Like others, I have faith Donny & Leo will look pretty sick. The others, I'm not so sure.

[psychturtle]

I don't know why anyone questioned Powder's legitimacy. Dude's in the know.

I guess I can wait a month to see them. I wonder if they will show the other 3 classic collection movie turtles then too...

I'm not sure if I like the thought of all the clothing. You know playmates has the clothing in the molds rather than attachments so that will suck. I still hope Hot Toys makes a set of the turtles from this film.

Am I the only one that thinks Raph will look really badass? I'm not thinking George of the Jungle when I read his description, I'm thinking Andy Whitfield's Spartacus.

[xChri5x]

i'm okay with everything except the clothing. Hopefully it's just for the figures and/or just for a few scenes in the movie.

[CyberCubed]

Mike wearing a neck chain worries me. I hope he doesn't go around the movie shouting things like, "Woooord!" and, "That's phat!" and "Like a Turtle do!"

[TurtleTitan97]

Mike wearing a neck chain worries me. I hope he doesn't go around the movie shouting things like, "Woooord!" and, "That's phat!" and "Like a Turtle do!"

Isn't stuff like that what he regularly says, though?

[NYShell]

I don't like anything I've read from the description. This is for the toy line, so hopefully it's not as absurd in the movie.

[bridgegrn]

Ugh the clothes stuff really makes me roll my eyes. Hopefully it looks better than it sounds.

[jcarter]

Wonder if they will look like the new Lego Toys I've seen on Google and YouTube if so it won't look bad

[BabyTurtles]

they sound so cool!!

Donnie and Mikey's clothes sound interesting to me!! can't wait!!

..........uuuggghh can't they just show us already! throw us a bone!!

[electric_sheep]

so all that more humanoid was ********?

[TurtleMikey]

so all that more humanoid was ********?

No. People just took that to be more serious, and more literal, than it was/is.

[Agent 86]

It all sounds interesting. I am a fan of the fact that the Nick designs showcase the individuality of each of the turtles with different heights, body shapes, etc.

So, extending that to their clothing choices kind of makes sense, especially since they're so interested/immersed in human/teenage culture and habits.

Shredder's design doesn't sound quite as good. I was hoping that Playmates would finally release a "good" Shredder action figure. If this one just looks like a mutant echidna, then I'll continue to hope that Shredder appears in the Retro-Classics line!

[ZariusTwo]

Sounds pretty consistent with everything else I've heard/seen/experienced: Disappointing.

Says the person with the avatar of the far more ghastly designed gap-toothed Donatello.

[The Stryker]

Mike wearing a neck chain worries me. I hope he doesn't go around the movie shouting things like, "Woooord!" and, "That's phat!" and "Like a Turtle do!"

1. He already says sh*t like that.

2. How does wearing a puka shell necklace mean you'll speak ebonics?

[madyankees]

Not cool with the clothes part... While I don't mind slight differences between the turtles, the clothes seemed to be overly excessive

[The Turtle Terminator]

What's the point of the turtles wearing clothes?!?!?!?! It sounds like the cancelled 2001 movie which had a more 'urban'-like feel to it. Bucket breath sounds as though he's a good figure. As for Splinter, he ONLY comes with a sword! No walking stick? In my opinion, this is going to lead to what sounds like bad costumes in the film. Just another one of many reasons why 1990 TMNT film fans won't go to see Bay's TMNT

Cowabunga:fshifty:

[TheSkeletonMan939]

The description of Shredder sounds god-awful, but maybe it looks better than it sounds.

[The Turtle Terminator]

The description of Shredder sounds god-awful, but maybe it looks better than it sounds.

Don't understand why you and others hate Shredder? He is a terrorising person who tries to use blade to Slice N' Dice people

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Don't understand why you and others hate Shredder? He is a terrorising person who tries to use blade to Slice N' Dice people

It's that fact that he will have too many blades on him, and will make him look very silly. Shredder looks really cool and serious when done right.

[The Stryker]

Just another one of many reasons why 1990 TMNT film fans won't go to see Bay's TMNT

Hahaha.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa!

[tmnt transformer]

Says the person with the avatar of the far more ghastly designed gap-toothed Donatello.

What's the matter with a gap-toothed Don?.... It's much better then having a cyborg want a be Don...

[marcelangelo]

wow! I am amazed that this time I really feel disappointed already..can't find anything I like in those descriptions...but a picture says more than a thousand words they say, huh?perhaps my point of view gets changed ince we'll get to really SEE something....
I really got the feeling that THIS turtles movie won't be anything for me;(sorry guys..I am happy for anyone who finds something for him/her in this..

[The Turtle Terminator]

It's that fact that he will have too many blades on him, and will make him look very silly. Shredder looks really cool and serious when done right.

But his name is Shredder. He is supposed to have loads of blades. Look at Super Shredder for example:

Awesome figure,
Loads of blades.

[AdamWarlock87]

Doesn't sound all that bad besides Shredders description. I'm wondering if Shredder in the movie his cape will be cgi and maybe the blades retract so it looks more sleek and when he's fighting then the blades come out

[BabyTurtles]

Mike wearing a neck chain worries me. I hope he doesn't go around the movie shouting things like, "Woooord!" and, "That's phat!" and "Like a Turtle do!"

http://31.media.tumblr.com/b9814f525df3552b68ddb7a83e63394b/tumblr_mn0zfkIIZA1s5bg5do1_500.gif

[sgtfbomb]

It could just be that the description itself is godawful. Everything I read from that description sounds like it could go either way, the clothing especially. That goes double for the Shredder. It could be cool or it could be overkill. Because not only do you have to imagine how that'll look in the actual film, but you have to picture William Fichtner, a skinny, almost 60 year old man with the wrinkly, worn-down face of a corrupt politician wearing that suit, essentially giving you a mental image that is not too far off from seeing Mitt Romney wearing the Super Shredder costume, which even with CGI enhancements still absolutely sounds dumb. Plus, then while watching the film, you'll somehow have to imagine a scenario where Eric Sachs puts on the suit without accidentally killing himself. I can already picture endless amount of Movie Sin, Guy With Glasses, Honest Trailers, and How It Should Have Ended videos that this film will no doubt inspire...

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

Shredder's description totally reminds me of

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/1/3/2/0/3425789785_bf1d38ae7c_o_1239286903.jpg

[plastroncafe]

I am so morbidly curious to see these toys.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

tbh I am worried about this:-?

[Andrew NDB]

It could just be that the description itself is godawful. Everything I read from that description sounds like it could go either way

Ah, the Battered Wife syndrome back at play. "Maybe it'll get better! Maybe he'll change, and stop beating me!" Nope, sister, he's gonna keep at it.

And so is Platinum Dunes/Playmates.

[Zulithe]

Everything in the description sounds fine to me. But that all could change once I see them.

I'm most worried about Splinter, not the turtles. Splinter is the one character who's appearance seems to change the most from iteration to iteration. Sometimes for the worst. Did not like 2007 movie splinter AT ALL.

[MastahShredder]

I'm not worried about Shredders look yet. A toy is not exactly what he'll look like to a t. I'm sure they have worked in some sort of CGI into it.

Seeing Fictner as it is what worries me.

[electric_sheep]

they are wearing clothes because they have human ***** in this iteration...

[The Stryker]

they are wearing clothes because they have human ***** in this iteration...

Uh. No?

Get dicks off of your mind guy.

[CyberCubed]

Obviously the toy design couldn't tell that there was a white wrinkly 60 year old man behind the Shredder armor instead of a 30-40 year old Japanese martial artist.

[The Stryker]

why else would they wear something ridiculous as loincloth?
i bet splinter has one to, he'll probably end up using it instead of his cane...

Why is everyone taking the loincloth description to mean that he'll be in Tarzan garb? He could easily be in some kind of gladiator type garb.

[TurtleMaster4]

I must say, I am very exited about the look of the turtles! I like the look they had since the beginning, but I'm open to them having clothing! Leo sounds awesome, I mean he sounds so battle ready, and I love the fact that Donatello has science gadgets on, and that Raphael is, well pretty much like all the older version, minus that lions cloth. Mickey get's me a bit worried and a bit exited though. I guess I'll have to wait till I see him in action. I don't want him to be a gangsta.

Splinter sounds alot like, well, Splinter. April seems normal as well.

Shredder and the foot is what I am worried about though, Shredder sounds a bit to spikey, and the foot don't sound like the foot. I said it before but I might as well say it again, I don't mind some foot ninja's with guns, but they are supposed to be a ninja clan, not an army, if you can mix the original with new I'm all for it.

[MikLeo]

Change is good.

[The Stryker]

Sneakers and a puka shell necklace = Urban Gangsta.

The things I've learned here.

I'm still holding out hope that Shredder has an elite faction of the Foot who are more ninja then armed forces look.

[Galactus]

The idea that the turtles would wear human clothes to further add a sense of individuality to each turtle is a fine one in principal. The fact that the idea is sound is no guarantee that it will be executed well and look aestheticaly pleasing.

Not to mention what looks cool on paper does not always tranlate well to live action. Case in point the Dooney artworkk for Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation actually look pretty decent but on screen they looked laughable. Speaking of which those designs were also bulky, overly muscled turtles with all radicaly individual looks.

Even the idea that it's practical doesn't really work for me. Leo and Don are supposedly battle ready but how does Mike's hoodie and gold chain help him in battle? Will Leo be chillin' in the lair in his bamboo armor?

The basic turtle look has served the franchise well and anything but minor tweaks has been met with mixed results. I would argue that a reboot should be trying to take the franchise back to basics maybe then explore "new" ideas.

[TrickOrTreater]

I don't really mind the clothes aspect in theory. Some regular, customized based on personality clothing is just fine.

But it sounds like they REALLY overdid it for Mikey. Like...a hoody wrapped around his waist? WHY?

But whatever. We all pretty much knew the Turtles were going to look decent to pretty good. The rest REALLY depends on the actors and the script(which I have zero faith in, as far as the script).

I'm not at all surprised about Shredder though. He's going to be as mocked as much as if not more so than Green Goblin was from Spider-Man. Which is a real friggin' bummer.

I wish they'd said how tall Splinter is compared to the rest of the Turtles.

[cartoonistaaron]

I think anybody who thinks the clothing "sounds fine" is fooling themselves. The TMNT going around wearing clothes all the time is like putting Batman in a 3 piece suit or something. It's fine when they're in disguise but hopefully someone involved with this movie will have the good sense to... Wait, I can't believe I typed that phrase. Nevermind.

yeah... the turtles better be 'as is' at least during downtime and only 'suit up' for the final battle if they have to.... no wait.... THEY DON'T ****IN HAVE TO. They never had to wear battle gear before, why start now?

[Powder]

I absolutely love the idea of incorporating Samurai & other Japanese clothing/armor design elements, in small doses, but for the most part, I am against the turtles having outfits or anything like that. I mean, it'd be one thing if they all had a uniformed look that involved more apparel, but not when each turtle is dressed up in unique garb. Save that for toy variants & the like, I say. I'm still open to it, as there's always a chance I'll be pleasantly surprised, but by text interpretation alone, I'm not looking forward to seeing Mikey & Raph. Leo & Donnie have potential though, or so it would seem.

[Candy Kappa]

I'm curious about the "coming off of his shell" does Donatello have cyber implants inside his plastron or carapace? It sounds very iffy.

[Tazi]

I'm curious about the different outfit for turtles thing, and I'm okay with it as a one time occassion. Anyway, that's probably not the reason why the movie could (and likely will) suck.

They could have just done one thing differently: Give everyone a red bandanna as in Mirage. Since all 4 of them having too similar look is no more a concert.

[xChri5x]

The only clothing I could get behind:

There is going to be a new LEGO set for the movie, alongside new Nickelodeon based sets.I know, but that guy is claiming he saw them on Google and YouTube yet I can't find them anywhere.

[Bob]

With the casting of William Fichtner (who’s not really an imposing figure) and the description of Shredder (as well as the motion-capture element we know he’ll have), I have a feeling there’s going to be either an alien or supernatural twist with Shredder.

[Gin Rummy]

In Reading the description. I have found that some of my Fears have been relived. I had created a horrid mental image of what I thought the movie turtles to be. IMO They don't have to be overly 'realistic' to look real.

This is what bothers me the most. He's not an imposing figure whatsoever and he might just end up looking like a joke.

Saito was not a big guy but he still had that look, if you get what I'm saying.

His body movements were amazing and made Shredder a scary villain. He looked like someone you do not mess with.

It sounds like they didn't' keep it simple like they did in 1990.

[Xav]

Ironically, Fichtner and Saito are about the same age. Of course Saito was in his mid 30s when he played Shredder and Fichtner is pushing 60.

[MastahShredder]

Ironically, Fichtner and Saito are about the same age. Of course Saito was in his mid 30s when he played Shredder and Fichtner is pushing 60.

Which is another thing that irks me about it. 56 year old Shredder?

We're going to see Shredder as Sachs so it's not like they can hide that fact. Sure they could touch him up to look younger but still...

I don't mind the premise of a white Shredder as much as others but I just think Fichtner was a terrible choice.

I guess we'll see when it comes out.

I think they should have went with a more intimidating look like the new toon Shredder.

[Bob]

I have faith in William Fichtner as a performer, because he is a good actor. I just think they’re going to have to do something a little different to pull it off. Hence why I believe there will be an alien and/or supernatural element to Shredder in the film.

I hope they don't turn him into some mutated being to go from the transition of being Sachs to then being Shredder.

I was never a big fan of alien Shredder's.

[jestermon]

So...there's the possibility that Raphael may be running around New York City in a loin cloth?

(I'm just mainly talking to myself to make sure I read that right.)


Well, unless he crushes his enemies. Sees them driven before you. And hears the lamentations of the women aka April O'Neil aka Megan Fox. Then I'll be ok with it.

I don't understand why no one realizes Leonardo will have a loincloth too if he doesn't have pants on, that's pretty much what samurai armor without pants would be.

Also, sneakers, hoody tied around waist, and puka shell necklace is either a hippy girl on the rag or a surfer type guy not a ghetto superstar, unless he's from the Caribbean.

[TigerClaw]

Let's not forget that we will see Raph wearing a Hat and Trenchcoat like we seen in those behind the scenes pics.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eh8ydIdr3yo/UsWyGhELNvI/AAAAAAAAm7w/GdvPlh2k0hU/s1600/teenage+mutant+ninja+turtles+2014+movie.png

As for Raph wearing a loincloth, I don't think we would see him wear that in public, But I bet during indoor scenes. Like in the Lair or when they are fighting the foot.

[Candy Kappa]

Seeing how tall Raph is really irks me.

[xChri5x]

Also, you can kind of make out through his trench coat that he has pectorals... *cringe*

[Candy Kappa]

Could be just laziness of not having prosthetics under the coat, or the plastron is moulded similar of muscles which is frankly a pet peeve of mine.

[BabyTurtles]

Seeing how tall Raph is really irks me.

he is pretty tall huh....I like the turtles shorter...

but :3 I'm sure it'll look cool either way~

I'm still excited, what everyone fails to mention is these are toys not post effect images from the movie.
As soon as the trailer is out we'll all laugh at how we mocked the idea of figures in clothes!
The clothes may even just be from a 5 minute scene of the film, I'm waiting for the trailer, I like the transformer films, I like pearl harbour. Bay directs the film and I'm ok with that.:tgrumble:

Don't get your hopes up. The clothes are very much a part of it, from what I'm told.

Everything sounded good for the Turtles until the style of dress part. Mikey with a hoodie and necklace. Ugh.

totally agree. i've never been a fan of "dressed up" turtles. as i read the details, i will admit the first thing that popped up in my mind was next mutation....:sweatdro: i dont hate much, but the next mutation is one of the things that i hate most :( i'll keep my fingers crossed that the movie will feel nothing like the NM.

[turtlefanforever]

Featured in this film than their actual descriptions. At least you'd know why your getting and I didn't think it was even half bad.

[turtlefanforever]

What's the matter with a gap-toothed Don?.... It's much better then having a cyborg want a be Don...

I prefer a cyborg wanna be Donetello anyday. I'm fact we kinda had that already in fast forward

[AquaParade]

I'm a huge fan of the turtles wearing clothing. It not only makes sense that the turtle's would want to express themselves but also can add a bit of that Urban feel to the film, which I am all for.

It's just too bad they couldn't keep them all in red masks. Throw Mikey an orange jacket, Donatello some purple tech/gear, and Give Leo blue eyes or something. Just spitballin here...

Sorry about getting my wires crossed, defending transformers 4 on another forum!

this might just be me being a traditionalist fanboy but the tmnt have been mostly naked for 30 years why do they need clothes now. what does that add to the concept? yeah it might help show off their individual personalitys but you know what else does that. good acting. I keep imagining some out of touch executives sitting around a table somewhere wondering how they can make the turtles more edgy and cool and buzzwords and finally one of them goes "oh I know clothes" its like that simpsons episode where they gave Malibu Stacy a new hat

Same reason that Superman and Batman no longer have trunks after, combined, over a century of having them.

[slingtheory]

Same reason that Superman and Batman no longer have trunks after, combined, over a century of having them.

well that's really apples and oranges. superman and batman's underwear on the outside was a leftover from the time period when they were created. somebody decided that in this day and age the trunks were outdated and unnecessary and removed them. and beyond the fact that that's the way we're used to seeing them losing the trunks takes nothing away from the characters. the turtles wearing clothes on the other hand is like adding something unnecessary. what exactly does them being clothed add to the characters beyond making the designs busier and giving the cgi guys more to do. the turtles naked or otherwise would be the same characters so this whole thing seems like some executives superfluous idea of whats" cool". now that's not to say it won't look good in execution. the movies not going to suck because the guys wear clothes now( if it sucks it'll be for a whole bunch of other reasons.) all i'm saying is if they were the way we're used to seeing them it would be the exact same movie.

[chrisdude]

Ha! Because, you know what? If the turtles walked around in trenchcoats, with their face, legs and hands exposed, people would complain about that too. It's the same disguise. People are just way more critical, these days, about things not being realistic.

These filmmakers probably asked themselves, "Why are these the only teenagers in the world who don't seek to distinguish themselves and look unigue? Why would being a turtle stop them from wearing clothes? It doesn't make sense. It looks silly." And I think that'd be right.

I laid down on my bed what felt like hours staring at the ceiling, deep in my thoughts. It's uncommon for me to have trouble sleeping, and yet here I was thinking about the turtles wearing human clothes. :tconfuse:

I never liked them wearing unnecessary gimmick gear. For a segment or special occasions, sure. But as a default? No.

They're ninjas, surely they should inhibit a discipline lifestyle? Is this Splinter too lenient with his pupils? A unified uniform of sort for the boys would be nice but from the description it sounds like a circus mess.

Leo as a samurai, Raph with a loincloth, Don with his techy gear and footwear, and Mikey as a pimp gangsta.

I can't help but worry. :tsad:

People don't have to like it, but I don't see how Mikey wearing a puka shell necklace, pants, and hoodie tied around the waist is so darned offensive. Multiple people have interpreted that as him looking like some kind of hoodlum. He sounds like a kid from Boy Meets World.

[allie300]

The idea of clothing just seems superfluous to me the turtles have never needed clothes to get their individual personalities across so why start now?I'm trying to be open minded about this film but so far all the available information I've read about it and the odd casting decision's doesn't add up to a ninja turtles movie that I will enjoy.

I guess we don't really know at this point exactly what the characterisation/personality of Raph will be like in the movie. Maybe he is a loincloth guy. I wouldn't have thought he would be a gruff talking hard-ass before I saw the first movie. I'm sure people who were familiar with the comics at the time were surprised that he was a wise-cracking jokester in the animated series.

More on loincloths - I think it must have be a recent character design trend. The loinclothening... or something.

Check out the evolution of the character designs in the Mortal Kombat games. In the beginning, there were a few loincloths; in the later games, everyone had one, and they were getting longer and longer. They scaled back a bit on MK9 I think. Someone should prepare MK loincloth chart (not me, I'm bored enough already).

Hey guys first post here(gotta start somewhere lol).
But in my opinion I agree with each having there own style with no real practical reasoning. And the reason would be they are 4 teens that grew up in the sewers with outside of their "teacher/father" there only influence is magazines and possibly TV which is nothing but pop culture and each one picks up what they think is "cool". IMHO it makes since.
