My guess is that the straps are suppose to attach to the belt somehow. I would like to see some color fixes on this design.

let's just say hypothetically- the show is really funny, and well written. (very doubtful by looking at this design, but let's say it anyway.) staring at these overly vibrant clashing colors is serious eyestrain just waiting to happen!

maybe this cartoon show is a new marketing strategy to try to bring them back?

Yeah, based on the example of that color pallet, I keep wanting to scan an image or two from my grown up TMNT coloring book and digitally give it the Lisa Frank treatment. (Maybe a Mirage page, that would be hilarious since it doesn't suit it.)
Because if Donnie's coloration is any indication, I feel like a whole series that looks like that is going to look like a Lisa Frank TMNT show. And if the guys don't recall what Lisa Frank is, it's this stuff, beloved by middle school girls for ages: Spoiler:

Not sure where anyone is seeing a Lisa Frank influence because that stuff is way better looking and aesthetically pleasing than the bland CalArts style we saw.
Stop sh*tting on Lisa Frank too, that art is candy in physical form. |

candy has been known to cause cavities and possibly lead to diabetes.

Maybe it's based off those terrifying figures that had removable shells.

And that bright pinky purple Donnie has going on there... Not to ninja-ish if your gear is as bright as reflective safety tape. lol I'm a little afraid that whoever ends up with the lightest green skin may end up looking like a glowing Turtle. |

Of course TMNT can escape camp, that wasn't my point. My point was how much TMNT had drifted from the source with the various incarnations, and how that continued drift is inevitable. |

They don't hate us, they just don't care about us. We are not the target audience. The only adults Nick thinks buy TMNT merchandise are only doing so to shut their bratty kids up at the toy store.

Why is Nick stepping in and making IDW censor it constantly, then? And Nickelodeon had nothing to do with the IDW comics beyond, "OK, we'll allow you to do this comic if you pay us X in licensing fees and give us veto power over every issue you put out."

Do they hate us? Nah, but they do need to copy off Disney's homework as to how to properly handle a popular franchise that they've purchased.

True, but I'll take the Rebels cartoon over Nickelodeon's TMNT series. I guess I should really give more credit to Dave Filoni than Disney for that though.

Bias on the table, I've read more Savage Dragon and Vanguard than I did the TMNT run from Image, and I've only seen the first PD movie.
That said, the 'roided out physiques, and bombastic violence and action set pieces in the first PD movie are very reminiscent of similar things found in 90s era Image books. Which, to me, seemed to take the muscle-bound stuff from the Two Big and turn them up to 11. ACTION! BRAWN! RAWR! to the ^nth degree.
