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

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. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dio4eN9Nm7...0/IMG_5412.JPG |

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 |

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. |

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

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. |

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...

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? |

"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?

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

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?

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.

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. |

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.
