Plastic looking 3D hair always bugs me a little, but what has to go into more realistic hair in that medium would have taken an oversized bite of budget then it reasonably needed to.
Heck, better development of hair in it isn't even all that old either. Disney's Tangled for example, if I recall correctly, the advancements within 3D for what they wanted and needed for that film didn't even exist yet so they had to invent it themselves. Which is awesome, because companies with money to do it are always able to bring those advances to 3D/CGI in general. But Tangled came out in 2010, only two years before TMNT 2012 premiered. Not that plug-ins didn't exist for hair already to an extent, but it was still improving not that long before the time 2012 was itself in the development stage.
Hopefully it will eventually become easier and cheaper to do so maybe a future 3D show, were another to exist, might be able to spruce that up a little and avoid looking so plastic.
