Licensing Show TMNT pic

[cartoonistaaron]

I am at the Licensing Expo and stepped over an interesting floormat! Hope this works - tried to post it six times from my iPhone!

If someone can edit this for me so it shows the photo I'd appreciate it!

EDIT: Okay guys, I'm home! I blew the pics up and adjusted the contrast a little, if anyone wants a better look. I like the designs more and more each time I see them.

You're welcome.

Looks like the bandannas are different lengths. Neat.

[1984TMNT]

Uggggg.....three freakin toes...I simply don't get it.

At least the new comics are sticking to 2 toes. I don't get why Nick is sticking to this change. Make no sense - in fact, it makes their feet and footprint appear to be completely round. The rest of the look is, alright though. Better than the first glimpse we got of them, imo.

[1984TMNT]

Also, it appears that the heads are still a bit too round for my taste....though It's really hard to tell what the final look will be from a still shot.

[CyberCubed]

Animation looks better

I do like the overall look of the turtles but...

Nick, if your people are reading this- GET RID OF THE THIRD TOE YOU F**KING SCHMUCKS.

^ Hahha :) Seriously though, wtf???? I don't dig the wraps or the lack of muscle tone, but I can definitely deal with them. Overall, they still look like the TMNT....but that toe is border line flabbergasting to me.

I mean - look at the new comic (in Powder's sig) - There is a perfect compromise in giving the show a "new" look that Nick wants, but still being true to every previous incarnation.

[Cure]

Animation looks better

IT'S A STILL PICTURE, MORON. Jesus.

[FlippytheMaster]

I dig the wraps, and I assume the lack of muscle tone is to streamline the animation a bit, but I agree, that third toe has me floored. I mean, what's the reason for it? It's a minor change to be sure, but one that just doesn't seem to have any proper logic behind it.

[plastroncafe]

It's there to drive us mad, MAD I TELL YOU!!!

This is how I see the third toe:

Ever travel? Spend all day knowing you forgot to pack something? Ever feel relieved when you discover what it is you know you forgot because then at least you can stop wondering about it?

That's how I feel about this third toe.
I'm choosing to believe that this third toe is going to be the ONLY thing I'm going to dislike about this show, and I'm choosing to feel relieved about already knowing what that thing is.

[Roseangelo]

Thanks for sharing!

Ugh, third toe. :tgrumble:

[1984TMNT]

perhaps....PERHAPS - in Nicks decision to go with a "younger, more true to life teenager" angle for this show, the 3rd toe is something the guys have from birth....and as the show progresses and the guys grow up a bit and become more mature, it drops off as some sort of cycle of puberty?!?!?









...........perhaps? Ok - I admit it. I'm desperate for a logical explanation of this damned 3rd toe and willing to accept just about ANY explanation that results in the elimination of it. Is there some sort of # we can call to demand they fix this? :) lol

[ToTheNines]

Enough whining about the 3rd toe guys. I get it, it seems pointless but their feet are very round and stylized, so you can hardly tell it's there.

Looks like the bandannas are different lengths. Neat.

That is a neat touch.

Animation looks better

[cartoonistaaron]

Thanks Cure! The iPhone sucks for posting pics to these types of forums.

I think the models look pretty good compared to earlier pictures. The third toe is odd but the pads and bandages look better and the heads don't look as rounded as they did before.

If I see any other TMNT stuff while I'm here I'll snag photos.

[1984TMNT]

Awesome, thanks Cartoonistaaron!!! I was just wondering if they had anything else at the show. Have you been by the booth # that is written on the TMNT floormat? Wonder if they have any other sneak peeks there?

[FlippytheMaster]

I don't suppose we'll be getting any pics of the TOYS at the Licensing Show, will we? So far all I've seen are descriptions of them and from all of the positive things I've heard I'm really curious.

[TMNT_Master]

Hey guys,

I tried to distort the image so it was a little more straight on so we could see Donatello & Mikey a bit better.

[discordiatookie]

Looks pretty neat. They look a bit like they are made out of plasticine or something - which I kinda dig. Gotta ask though, what is up with Raph and Don's eyes? Crossed much?

[Spitfire]

Pupils need to go. Third toe needs to go too.

[Jephael]

Extra toes aside, I really like the design of the Nick Turtles.

[Candy Kappa]

The toes looks like the feet of teddy bears, kinda cute but kinda annoying

[oldmanwinters]

*looking at the picture*

*realizes it doesn't look much different than most of the preview art seen so far*

*realizes that this is definitely the direction Nick is gonna go with the show*

*thinks "It's different... but it's all good*

[cartoonistaaron]

Hey guys, the Nick booth is basically empty except for SpongeBob related stuff. I'll keep my eyes peeled tho.

[Cure]

Not even ICarly stuff?! Damn.

[1984TMNT]

Hey guys, the Nick booth is basically empty except for SpongeBob related stuff. I'll keep my eyes peeled tho.

Hmm....that's odd. Is there anyone there to speak to? It's a little misleading to have that sign/mat pointing people to their booth with TMNT, only to not have one iota of said characters or their show there.

Thanks for the update regardless! We'll be eagerly anticipating anything else you can dig up :) Have any pics of the booth itself?

[FlippytheMaster]

I just noticed that Raph's bandana is a bit more tattered than the other turtles'. That's a nice touch. :D

[Jester]

I just noticed that Raph's bandana is a bit more tattered than the other turtles'. That's a nice touch. :D
Goes back to NT:TNM, where they all had different styles, and Raph's was tattered. Seems he gets to keep red, and the basic bandanna...lucky guy.

[Koi]

The style has already grown enough on me I don't really care.

[plasticturtle]

The third toe may take a little getting used to but overall I like the new look.

[Eiko]

They look really cool the third toe i can live with would prefer two but hey it not that bad.

[Ninja Tiptup]

I guess they figure since they have 3 fingers they should have 3 toes. That's gonna take a while to get used to but those are the most "turtle-like" feet they've ever had.

[Machias Banshee]

I like the designs - the extra toe really isn't a huge issue to me because of the style of the feet. I'm SO looking forward to when everyone can see Splinter's picture...

[plasticturtle]

Oh yeah, definately! I can't wait to see what new Splinter looks like!

[Slap-Happy]

Don't even care about the third toe. These look great.

[k_lala]

I don't really care about the third toe either, its not an issue with me. The pupils look good and can stay in my opinion. The designs i hated at first but are growing on me. It's clear its targeted for kids, they do look cute after all.

[Bauer536]

I guess they figure since they have 3 fingers they should have 3 toes. That's gonna take a while to get used to but those are the most "turtle-like" feet they've ever had.

I must say, I am now REALLY EXCITED!!!!!:thyper: I looked at the picture. Oh my God!!!! The turtles look awesome! :tgrin: I love the bandana strip length. I even love the eye pupils. It makes them look more realistic. The tape and the bandages, along time ago, got me a little iffy. But I love it now. The TMNT look better than TNM ones. Plus, I get what you're rationalizing. The third toe would match with the 3 fingers on each of their hands. My only problem is, how are they going to wear open-toed shoes? Also, if they (or Leonardo) ever did, how could they wear tabi socks? I can get through it if it comes on. But since the show is coming next year, I really want the third toe to be reconsidered. Is there any way I can request Nickelodeon to get rid of the third toes? If so, please let me (and most of us) know.:tsmile:

[Master Splinter]

Different length bandannas is cool. I like how Raph's is a little torn up. I could care less about the number of toes, it makes sense to have the same number of toes as ya do fingers... I like the wraps too, a lot of athletes wrap up their wrists and ankles to prevent injury... I grow more excited each time I see something new...

:D

-ms

[Utromshredderhater]

An extra toe and here the fans go whine whine Whine

[FlippytheMaster]

Yes, the third toe is nitpicking. I just wondered why they changed it, but I guess it has to do with the three fingers. Never really thought of it like that...

[Powder]

An extra toe and here the fans go whine whine Whine

You're one to talk. You realize that Utrom Shredder is the best character from 2k3, right?

[sdp]

Even if the show premiers in fall 2012 I think we'll definitely see the turtles at SDCC, they've been showing the turtles every chance they get. I like the designs, I don't mind the third toe on the pictures though I'm sure it'll bother me in figure form since I'll be there to compare them with the others and actually take notice.

Raph seems to have no pupils but it might just be the pic, I kinda hope they go for a style that has pupils but they get rid of the pupils when they are fighting or some trade off like that. Best of both worlds.

[SLASH!!!]

(Blows dust off self after years of inactivity)

For the most part I think the designs are cool. I don't mind the bandages. But the three toes still just make me scratch my head. I picture some nick executives demanding the third toe simply because of the turtles have three fingers. Honestly they look less awkward then I originally pictured but they're awkward in a different way. They look almost like the turtles are wearing shoes. May as well photoshop some laces and a nike logo on them. Still I will judge the show based on content then some stupid little toe. No matter how stupid they are.:D

[CyberCubed]

I agree with whoever said the Turtles look more "young" or kid-oriented with these designs, but I guess that's the point.

I can't wait to see Splinter's design since he's supposed to be 6ft or something in this version.

[Grimes]

I bet we get used to the extra toe. So, no toys on display, eh? SDCC it is, then.

[VaughnMichael]

I've been fine with the designs for some time.
But I hope they get rid of that clay fighters video game look.

Question: How big is a 6 foot rat? Splinter may be the same size as Leonardo for all we know. I don't mind if they're going to be the same size. I'm almost as tall as my dad.:tlol:

6 feet is very tall. Especially for a rat.

[A little *too* Raph]

They look adorable.


:ohwell:


I do not care for that. The designs are fine, I just hope when they are animated they won't be so cutesie. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh well, still excited!

[RiseAbove873]

I don't understand why cartoons/cgi characters can't have realistic proportions anymore.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Those designs look awesome. Still have to get used to the third toe, but I can deal with that.

[Venom]

I wonder if the Turtle stuff is at the Playmates booth since it wasn't at the Nico booth?

[RiseAbove873]

They have no wrists or ankles and people are complaining about an extra toe.

[gobo]

Question: How big is a 6 foot rat?
6 foot big. What the heck kinda riddle is this? O_o

And Venom, where is that pic of Shredder from? That's awesome.

[1984TMNT]

Yep, because it's a change for no apparent reason. The TMNT have a 27 year history and defined/understood "look". Adding an additional body part is a little odd.

It's not a HUGE deal, but it's annoying. And voicing our opinion is what we're all here to do - discuss our thoughts on things, good and bad. Welcome to forums.

Regarding the feet/wraps - I thought the exact same thing. The third toe, coupled with the feet "wraps" makes it look like they are wearing shoes. Not digging it. Of course, I'll wait to see what it looks like animated, but hopefully someone at Nick realizes that it doesn't look good and does something about it.

[Andrew NDB]

Well they're removing an appendage (their tails), so maybe it's even.

Someone could realize about the third toe. Like I asked, is there any way to complain to and request Nickelodeon? Of course, the turtles do have three fingers.

Just to add: I like the feet wraps! :tgrin: And no, they don't look like they're wearing shoes. All their toes seem to be separated from each other. I'm just digging this new look. It's sort of original. Still, I'm not sure about three toes, though.:tconfuse:

Playmates doesn't have a booth here this year. The ladies at the Nick booth didn't have any new info - just a pamphlet to hand out, which I forgot to grab (I am supposed to be working after all).

Awesome! Thanks again - these new shots at least confirm that the texture of the guys will at least look pretty good. It's much better than I thought it would be after looking at the first clip. The look is growing on me other than my previously stated dislikes.

I definitely do dig what I see. Thanks for sharing!

Leo and Mike have blue eyes, Don has....brownish almost red eyes, and Raph has green eyes..... I dunno... I think those brown eyes would be better on Raph. *shrugs*

[TobTurn]

Wow, they look a lot better now! Still a bit too young and childish in my opinion.. the '03 Turtles could easily beat these guys. Not to mention Shredder - lol that would just be not fair. Not that that has anything to do with the designs, those idiotic little thoughts just cross my mind.


They look really young, also. Younger than any incarnation I've seen yet. Leonardo's look is good - his expression really makes me think of an honorable, brave leader. Mikey's expression is too cliché. Every wacky character has that, I'd kinda like something different. Raphael would be much better without the eyes. I'm gonna miss his 40-year old voice from the '03 Toon.

From the looks, I get this weird feeling that they're young and really unexperienced, like they just started and try to be brave and hero-like, but actually are not but do keep trying to be like that.
I'd make them an older look in next seasons, and slowly make them more experienced and actually become the heroes they're trying to be, although their childish-behaviour will still be there now and then. They'll just handle serious situations more, well, SERIOUS, in next seasons.

I know, I don't make sense.

[ToTheNines]

You're in luck. Sean Astin just turned 40 this year.

[Cure]

Still a bit too young and childish in my opinion..

But...they are young and childish.

[Spitfire]

Now that I can see the eyes better I don't mind them so much. My issue now is the their head. Something looks off about it. Raph is especially bad. The top of his head isn't even round like the others.

It's a promo pic though they got time. Nice to see texture on the hand wraps even. Gives me more faith in the 3D animation.

[CyberCubed]

Perhaps the Turtles are younger than 15 in this version? I agree they look much younger here than any other incarnation.

[Grimes]

I'm just PRAYING that the toys will be shown at SDCC. I really don't want to wait until Toy Fair in February, or worse yet; NEXT SDCC.:teek:

Of course, seeing them...and also already hearing how awesome they are....knowing fully well I have to wait for them. THAT might suck just as bad. Darned if you do, darned if you don't.

[1984TMNT]

Agreed. This is a huge beef I had with 2K3. Hopefully we won't be getting anything quite that character altering in this new universe.

[CyberCubed]

What series didn't alter the characters from the comics?

Of course they're going to make changes. The fact that Splinter/Hamato Yoshi has a daughter in this version is already proof enough.

That's not the same as turning Shredder into a space slug. I don't mind adding new characters if it makes sense and they are well conceived/written...but changing one of the core characters to that extent (like they did to 2K3 Shredder) is blasphemous. So far, we haven't heard of anything that drastic....the closest comparison would be making April a teenager.

[ToTheNines]

Perhaps the Turtles are younger than 15 in this version? I agree they look much younger here than any other incarnation.

Quite possible. They were 16 by the time "Return to New York" happened, but in damn near every story before that they were 13 or 14.

Based on the looks, not at all. And I'm basing everything on the looks right now, as the only decent images we have are these pictures.

But...they are young and childish.

Yea, they are. But these look tóó young and childish. I would've liked a slightly older look, but not like adults. In their teens, like they're supposed to be.
It all depends of the tone of the show, ofcourse - I'm just basing my opinions on the kind of show I want - not too wacky and lighthearted, but not extremely dark either.

You're in luck. Sean Astin just turned 40 this year.

Perhaps I should have added 'tough-sounding guy' or'harcore-smoker' to my sentence. Yup, that'd be better.

[cartoonistaaron]

The Turtle graphics in the Nick booth were like 7 feet tall. Pretty cool. They had smaller graphics of SpongeBob and Dora the Explorer and maquettes of those characters... No Turtle maquettes.

[1984TMNT]

I don't see the problem. Its not like his human facade disappeared, we saw plenty of Oroku Saki in Season 3.

I third toe is one thing , turning a great character of 20 plus years of history into a space slug is another

I assume you are referring to the OT Shredder? I agree his was a great character in a comedic sense. OT Shredder was more of a jester than a truly dangerous man. His schemes were often ridiculous (Pizza by the Shread anyone?). The only reason Shredder was a "great character of 20 plus years of history" was because of his silly OT incarnation.

2k3 shredder was much more dangerous and serious than OT shredder ever was, regardless of his status as a "space slug." A designation perhaps a bit too derogatory as the utroms are a force to be reckoned with. Very smart race with incredible capabilities.

Making shredder an utrom may not sit well with everyone, that much is clear. However, 2k3's version of shredder was the most dangerous and bad ass version in my opinion. Much more so than the silly OT character

Loving everything so far, though the blue eyes on Leo are going to take getting used to :tlol:

They do look 15. I prefer the 2K3 turtles but lets face it, they never looked 15.

[CyberCubed]

They do look 15. I prefer the 2K3 turtles but lets face it, they never looked 15.

I don't think any of the Turtles incarnations made them look 15.

Even in the original series they always seemed like they were in the 18-20 year old range to me. They barely felt like teenagers there.

I don't understand these? What are you using as a reference to judge the age of mutant turtles?

Technically, Splinter was around the same age as the turtles, perhaps younger!

[Bauer536]

First off, I saw the other pictures from the event. Wow! Now they really look FANTASTIC!!!!:tgrin: Leonardo looks awesome, and I really have no problem with the blue eyes. He's starting to look like Skipper from the Penguins of Madagascar. He could say things like, "Just smile and wave, turtles. Smile and wave.", or "Donatello, options!", or maybe even "Cute but dangerous, boys. Cute but dangerous." :tlol: Raph looks even better now, too. Also, I have noticed a few freckles on their skin. Now they are beginnig to look realistic. Maybe these guys won't really behead the OT turtles, but they may decapitate the 2k3 ones (not because I never liked that series) because of how detailed the CGI ones are going to look.

Just to add: They look like teenagers here. The TMNT has always been 15 years old from the start. Unlike the changes of Splinter having a daughter or April attending high school, I must say, you can't really change everything when it comes to the turtles themselves. They don't look younger at all. It's TMNT. They've gotta be 15 (or 16 for Leo). Overall, Nickelodeon has impressed me once again. Enough with SpongeBob and Dora and even that Big Time Rush. It's time to bring in the real deal. Turtle power!:tsmile:

[Avatar Yuffie]

Third toe bugs me a bit, but I'll get over it. It's not as if I'll spend 25 minutes staring at their feet per episode anyway.

[The Stryker]

Their feet actually look alittle more like real turtle feet now.

Also. Who really cares?

[Jester]

I ain't really torn up about it either, but after 25+ years of 2 toed feet I can see why some would at least question the, "Why?"

[Donnie]

While I agree fans should get an explanation for the third toe, I think 5 pages of complaining about the aforementioned change is overly redundant.

I'm as nit-picky as the next (the height bothered me more than any other aspect in the early days of press - now I'm over it) but honestly I do not mind the third toe one bit. I think it looks cool, and these new pictures show amazing quality and mucho promise. Flat out, I'm loving these designs. I'm also pumped that Donny still has brown eyes. :D Not so pumped about the eye colors of the others, though.

[gobo]

The Turtles ALWAYS had three toes. It's just really bizare seeing their extended heel on the front of their foot now.

Man that "third toe' reference in the "How to Draw..." book was kinda dumb...just call it "heel."

[Luzmagica]

OMG !!! OMG!!! I love it!!!

....Just an afternoon outside from Forum,and 3 new images uploaded!!!! ...
Im going to ask Krang for an special Alert to phone when news like this arrive!!!!
:lol::lol::lol:

Thanks everybody for posting the Images...
I love the new look! About third toe...I dont matter ...Ill be concentrating on things more important that the feet in the new show....! :twink:

:tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tgrin::tgrin:

The heads seem off in the large shot. There's a distinct line right under the bandana...what is that?

Heels don't have knuckles though. Theirs do. Their hands and feet mirrored the claws of a bird of prey.

The turtles have been neglecting their personal hygiene.

[TobTurn]

You're wylin' out.

And why is that?

Yea, I noticed that line too. It seems weird. But the whole Turtlebody kinda looks weird - I assume they're trying to make it look 'real' but yet their toes look ridiculous and their hands look really weird too. And their head, ofcourse. They look like toys.

Maybe that's what they did? Make them look like this so toys could be easily made? That'd explain the toes and the line on the head.

[Turo602]

If the Turtles really had three toes then wouldn't you think that the back part of their foot would be moving at times? I prefer it to be a heel. With three toes like that I picture them being able to grip on poles and swing on them with their feet.

And ill at the TMNT of this show.

[Candy Kappa]

it's very Madagascar-esque in design style

[Luzmagica]

...Anyway, I actually like them.....Can´t wait to see this new Green Team Machine in action! :tgrin:

[cartoonistaaron]

Last report from the licensing expo: no news. The TMNT graphics were taken down and replaced with Beatrix Potter stuff - Patchwork Rabbit or something. The girls in the booth didn't know anything about the new Turtles. Also no pamphlets - just mints and some kind of Nick Big Help donation cards.

I'll go thru all the magazines and literature they gave out and if there's any Turtle stuff, I'll post this weekend.

[TheCanadiandrome]

this is lookin good

[masterturk]

These look quite crappy prepare for adventures of sonic the hedgehog type kiddie stuff

[Grimes]

How about....call me crazy, but you save your negativity until you've actually seen the show? Or better yet, spare us from having to read yours. I know that's a foreign concept to a lot of people. Especially since we're dealing with the internet here. But cynicism is by far one of the WORST traits/qualities a person can have. And quite a few folks in this thread are displaying such that. WAIT.

[Candy Kappa]

Adventures of Sonic? I don't think we'll see Shredder's hand turn into a furry lady anytime soon.

[TobTurn]

Adventures of Sonic? I don't think we'll see Shredder's hand turn into a furry lady anytime soon.

If that would happen I'd immediately lose all respect for the show, lol. I do NOT want those kinda wacky things happening in this show.

Why were those pictures taken away? Because they made a mistake and we actually shouldn't have seen them yet or just for no reason?

[Slap-Happy]

The heads seem off in the large shot. There's a distinct line right under the bandana...what is that?
It looks like an edge to me, like the top part of the head goes down and outward, while the end of the snout (the line) goes downward and in. Since the light's coming from upwards, that's why it's darker there.

I don't get people that complain about people complaining. If you want to read through a thread that only discusses what people like, or are happy about - why not start one yourself? Otherwise, all threads/topics are for people to have open DISCUSSIONS about their thoughts on things (good, bad, and everything in-between). Just because someone's opinions or thoughts don't coincide with yours, doesn't make them any less valid, nor does it mean they should have to sit back and not join in on the conversation.

I agree that most of us should hold judgement until we see the final product, however, people can and will form their opinions and assumptions now if they so choose. Nobody is forcing anyone to read through anything. I don't agree with everything everyone says, but you won't see me asking people to "spare me" from their opinion.

[oldmanwinters]

Dude, I LOVE Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog!

And... I doubt Nick TMNT will go that route. AoStH (abbreviations are for the hardcore fans!) is a unique flavor all unto itself! God bless Milton Knight!

[Bauer536]

Guys, I'm sorry. I can't help looking at these designs. The turtles look awesome. Of course they looked better in the 2k7 film. Still, I love this. And I'll have to agree with Kiwamu The Kappa on this one; they have this Madagascar animated look to them. That's why I referred them to the Penguins.:tlol: I want to see the designs of Splinter and April, but mostly the Shredder! I can't wait for this show. I want it to come on this year!:tgrumble:

Aside from the fact they're visible now, no clue. :P

[Candy Kappa]

I think the bridge between the Plastron and the Carapace looks good

[Koi]

I don't mind it, I just have no idea what is with the colouring and markings on it. It is a little odd to me and I don't understand what is going on with it. The bridge confuses me.

[ToTheNines]

Orangey's right, there is some seemingly random dark spots that look like they might be... holes? I dunno.

[Candy Kappa]

the dark squares could be some very stylized shell painting/marking.

but the outer frame/scutes (marginal?) not sure of the name, looks a bit odd

[Revan]

Is this what you are talking about?

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb94/kalaneutrino/pics/shell.jpg

I'm not quite sure what this is either. At first glance I thought it was simply the pattern of the bridge but now that I look closely I'm not so sure. Possibly holes?

[Koi]

Yes, it looks reallllllyy weird to me.

[Machias Banshee]

Kevlar inserts..? :P

[Bauer536]

You know, I was going to ask you guys that, too. What's up with the two black rectangles on Leo's shell? Are these supposed to make a specific design relating to ninjas or something? Are they holes? Are they like handlebars for the turtles to grab on to in case they need to hide in their shells? Still love the designs, but this part is bugging me more than the third toe.

[sdp]

I think the designs are awesome, I like the idea of different length for the bandannas as well as different eye color, anything to make them different from each other is good IMO.

Something I noticed is that the turtles look bald, I know the turtles never had hair but something about these designs made me think "Donnie looks bald, wait so do the others", hard to explain since its not like they ever had haired but yeah its not something I ever took much thought about until today.

[FlippytheMaster]

I wholeheartedly agree.

Am I doing it right?

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, that pattern on Leo's shell does look weird. Maybe they're pockets sewn in where they can hide stuff like shuriken and smoke bombs.

[Jester]

And climbing claws! Don't forget climbing claws!

[Grimes]

Yeah, really. Everyone should totally agree with each other at all times or shut the shell up. This is yesman territory, for the love of Kev & Pete!

Oh yes. Sarcasm. Yay! That always helps the conversation move along splendidly. Heaven forbid I call for a little patience when it comes to something that isn't even out until late 2012. And also from these same people that complain, but when watching it will claim it's the greatest thing they've ever seen. I don't care if you have an opinion on the show: good or bad. But, there are people in this very thread that are making very base judgments, with NO constructive criticism. "It sucks, and the whole show is going to suck because of how they look!". Whaaat? You can't at least wait until you've seen ONE episode before making a snap criticism?

There were people saying the same thing when promo images were coming out for the first X-Men movie. "Oh, this sucks....they're in all black. This movie is going to suck". Oh yeah? Well, 5 movies later, with more on the way, they seem to be doing okay. And those negative nellies were eating crow.

[Revan]

I agree. I think this would look less awkward if the heads had more "shape" to them...

[1984TMNT]

That and I've browsed back through the thread, and it ain't that negative...I think you're blowing things out of proportion.

I think there was, maybe, one comment where someone said the show will flat out suck based on the info and pictures we've seen so far.

[Whitewolf89]

I do like the overall look of the turtles but...

Nick, if your people are reading this- GET RID OF THE THIRD TOE YOU F**KING SCHMUCKS.
I totally agree with you on this, bro. Why are they messing with an established design for the boys? It's got me beat. Guess I'll get used to it just like everybody else, though.....

Which is NOT to say that I will be DRAWING them with three toes. I've drawn them with only two for all the years that I've been drawing them, and I ain't about to change that now! That may not be canon for the Nick TMNT, but that's the way I feel.

On another note, I'm liking the fact that they all have different EYE-colors, as well as skin-colors (thank you, NICK for stick with the skin-colors that they had in the 2K3 Toon! (I think.)) I kinda figured that MIKEY would have blue eyes (they look like a kinda SKY-blue to me, actually), but Leo having blue eyes kinda threw me for a minute. Not anything that I won't get USED to, tho. (Heck, in my TMNT fanart and fanfics, I always give him (and usually Raph, especially if I make them twins in said fics and art) blue eyes. Usually MIDNIGHT-blues ones, actually.

(Although I did like the eye color he had in the 2K7 TMNT movie. Kind of a honey-brown/hazel color. VERY nice!)

Donnie having brown eyes is cool, too; just the color that I kinda expected for him. Raph's being green, though? TOTALLY unexpected. I was REALLY hoping that they'd go with the amber-gold color that they had in the 2K7 movie. (Unless THAT detail is exclusive to Warner Bros.? Dunno.)

And thankies for posting the lovely pics, guys. They are WAY past cool!!!:tgrin:

I can't wait to see Splinter's design since he's supposed to be 6ft or something in this version.
Well, he's SUPPOSED to be Hamato Yoshi himself (like in the Classic TMNT), rather than Master Yoshi's pet rat (like in the 2K3 one, and that I was personally hoping WOULD be the case, but oh, well.........), so maybe 6' tall is how tall that Yoshi is in the new series.

(Rather they'd shrunk him down to the size that he was in the OT, if they were gonna make him Yoshi, rather his pet rat, but oh, well, again.)

[gobo]

Oh yes. Sarcasm. Yay! [etc]
Alright. Sounds reasonable, but that complaint about the sparse complaining would have been better received if you had explained yourself then. Live and learn.
Do you know gobo at all?
I do. Does that count?

[The Stryker]

I love how people are reacting with outright hostility towards three toes. It's not like they decided to give them noses and ears.

[1984TMNT]

I'd say it's more.....bewilderment....rather that outright hostility.

[Peanut]

Man, you know all those super important story elements and character moments that hinge entirely on the number of toes they have!? MAN! We're gonna lose all of that! Every time someone throws a kick I'm gonna release my bowels and weep at the same time.

Character designs are ruined now! In fact, the entire thing is ruined! Cancel this abomination! I'd rather watch the Teenage Mutant Ninja Refrigerators from the 2k3 show again, at least they had TWO TOES!

[Koi]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Refrigerators

I'd watch that.

[CyberCubed]

I can't imagine us seeing the toes much during the show anyway. The Turtles walking around or talking usually have the camera cut them off by their torso.

During fight scenes when they kick the animation will likely move so fast you won't even notice.

I imagine the only time they'll be noticeable is in meditation scenes where their legs are cross and you see their feet.

[Slap-Happy]

I imagine the only time they'll be noticeable is in meditation scenes where their legs are cross and you see their feet.
I wonder if we even see that on the show. Some religious nuts like the guy who wrote Ninja Turtles: Exposed might have a field day with meditation being "non-Christian".

I know they did it in 2k3, but that wasn't a big network like Nickelodeon.

This is your opinion. It may not be ruined. The show is not out yet. Maybe there will be a reason why the third toe exists anyway. Besides, has anyone asked Rob Paulsen about it? Maybe he knows why.

[Grimes]

He was being facetious.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if we even see that on the show. Some religious nuts like the guy who wrote Ninja Turtles: Exposed might have a field day with meditation being "non-Christian".

Nowadays isn't meditating seen as a form of yoga and/or done in Karate schools?

[Donnie]

Nowadays isn't meditating seen as a form of yoga and/or done in Karate schools?

Yoga schools incorporate it, martial arts school incorporate it, and my Catholic-dominated Long Island college also incorporated it into "Christian Meditation Sessions". As far as I am aware, only the extremely ignorant would demonize meditation.

[ToTheNines]

These days, no one's going to freak out over meditating. However, if the Turtles faced Mecca and prayed 5 times an episode, people would lose it.

[Turo602]

The more and more I look at the way this show looks I just feel sad for the TMNT. They seriously ruined their look.

I miss 2k3. I wonder when they're going to show that again.

[Bauer536]

Don't feel sad. I'm positive this will be a great show. Just give it a chance. I gave the 2k3 one a chance. It did not work out. I'm going to try this one now. Already I'm excited. :tgrin:

BTW: I don't think Nick ruined their look. They look a lot more interesting, like a mix of the 2k7 film with the 2k3 look. So what if they have three toes now. Sure I'd like that part to be changed, but I'm getting used to it.

Which leads me to question: Why haven't you guys requested Nickelodeon to get rid of the extra toes? :tconfuse:

I don't know, I just can't watch something without liking the way it looks. This show went too far. They're heads look weird, their feet are just horrible, I don't know why people like the skinny arms with fat forearms thing. That TMNT movie was bad news. It ruined how the turtles looked in BttS, the toys, and now this show looks like it's trying to resemble that but worse. I didn't like how they looked in TMNT, but now, compared to this, TMNT looks a whole lot better.

[PizzaPower]

im sure they did but they wont listen, lol.

[cartoonistaaron]

Last update: I edited my first post to show the photos with the contrast turned up a little. They look more like they did in person.

All the licensing magazines and stuff they passed out failed to mention the TMNT beyond a basic "Nickelodeon is also working on a new TMNT cartoon." The cover of one magazine had fully rendered images of SpongeBob and Dora but no TMNT. Maybe next year!

Are their feet tape different colors? I always thought they were white on all of them. Now, it seems that Leo is white, Don is beige, Mike is brown, and Raph is black. Is it me, the lighting, or am I right?:tconfuse: I was not sure I would like it at first. However, this may make them look cooler.

I am 100% with you on those complaints.
I usually like "cute" things but I never wanted to see the style for turtles go there. I assume they are really trying to make them look adolescent. The arms and legs look backward to me
I dislike the pupils and Raph having green eyes but there on eye color I admit I am nitpicking
Someone said something that made sense at the beginning of this thread, I didn't think that the extra toes was meant to match the hands not that I am behind it I just didn't think of it that way.

I am hoping they have some amazing lighting/shadows styles and effects planned for this as well as the actual animation. Need to see more...

[CyberCubed]

I have high hopes for this show. Since Nick are the owners they should give it star treatment and make sure it's their next big hit. The designs are fine it's really how they're animated in motion that will count.

As long as the show doesn't wind up like Next Mutation's cheesiness I'll hope to enjoy it.

The only thing I'm concerned about right now is the writing and how the plots are going to be. Other than that, I'm going to wait and see. I'm just glad we're getting a new show again.

[Bauer536]

Yeah. That Green Lantern cartoon looks pretty good. The animation is stunning, I will admit. My problem is, as much as I loved the Green Lantern movie, I am DC and Marvel’d out. I don’t feel like watching their series for now. Plus, I don’t have Cartoon Network anymore. But I still have Nickelodeon, which means I may be able to watch TMNT on the TV. That is what I really want to see.

Do we know if the new series will be on the basic Nickelodeon or on Nicktoon?I will be pissed if its only on Nicktoon sense I don't get it with my cable company.

[Oniri]

Do we know if the new series will be on the basic Nickelodeon or on Nicktoon?I will be pissed if its only on Nicktoon sense I don't get it with my cable company.

I was wondering about that myself. The actually Nickelodeon channel hasn't had new episodes of cartoons for the longest as far as I have seen. The only thing on there most of the time is 4 hour long marathons of Spongebob and their live action stuff.

My bets are on the new TMNT show being on the Nicktoon channel.

[Powder]

I'm sure it will be on Nickelodeon. They'd be idiots to put it exclusively on Nicktoons because only people with a cable box get that channel.
Supa Ninjas is Nick, for example, so I expect other new shows to be there as well. Nicktoons is like the home of wayward animation.

I asked this same question recently on the Nick TMNT thread. CyberCubed said that it's supposed to air on the actual Nickelodeon channel. My bet is the 2k3 series will be on Nicktoons because it was made in the past. This TMNT is serious to them, I've got the feeling it will air on Nickelodeon. The only time it may be on Nicktoons is if the show is in syndication.

[Warhorse]

Hmmmm, I'll reserve my opinion until I see the finished product on the Turtle's looks. When I first stumbled on the 2k3 toon, I wrote it off because it was distracting having the Turtles with no pupils. But I put it aside and watched it, and found it to be a good show. That is, until the FF came on, and it was just too corny. I stopped watching it after like 4 episodes.

But, I like the pupils and the different eye colors. That's a plus for me.

[BubblyShell22]

Niether do I. If it was on Nicktoons instead of regular Nickelodeon I'd be pissed.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a minute here! It's NOT supposed to be on NickToons?! Since when?! I'VE been under the impression that it was supposed to be on THAT channel along with Voltron Force and Kung Fu Panda! At least, that's what I've been reading on their/Rose's updates!

*groans* Can SOMEONE steer me to some accurate info? I'd appreciate it!

On another note, if any of you guys DONT get NickToons on your cable service, just call 'em and bug 'em TO carry it! They'll USUALLY listen if enough customers call/write/e-mail and bug 'em about it enough.

Oooooor, if you can afford satelitte service, and it's available in your area, go with that. My family has DirecTV satelittel, and we LOVE it!

Er, well, EXCEPT for on teeny, tiny l'il thing. You guys think that YOU'RE unlucky in not getting NickToons? Try not having G4 on your listings after about 5 year of having it on your service. We had it when we still had Dish Network, which is how I was able to watch the coverage of the SanDiego Comic Con for the past 5 years. Well, guess what?! DirecTV DOESN'T have G4, and HASN'T had it since last November due to, to quote the DirecTV representative that I recently talked via telephone, "Not being able to reach an agreement with (or come to terms with; can't remember exactly which one she said) G4, end-quote.:tmad::tgrumble: All of which means that, UNLESS I can get the Internet hooked up at home BEFORE Comic Con takes place, I'll miss what coverage of it that G4 does have on their network! NOT happy about that one, as you can pretty much guess!:tgrumble::tgrumble::tgrumble:

Nonono, I have never said anything about it airing on NickToons. I am pretty sure from the information we've received that it is scheduled to be on the main Nickelodeon channel on Saturday mornings.

Oh, okay! I guess I just misunderstood you, Rose. Silly, silly me.:tlol::twink::toops:

And that WOULD probably explain why I've never found the info for it on the NickToons Page at the Nick website. Found PLENTY of stuff on the Voltron Force show (which I've been watching and enjoying tremendously, btw!), the new Winx Club series (I'm REALLY liking their new look, too!), as well a the new Kung Fu Panda series, but, AS i'VE MENTIONED, NO TMNT stuff.

Heh, guess I'll just have to go exploring on the rest of the site to see if I can't find the TMNT stuff.

And that INCLUDES the 2K3 TMNT series, right? It's going to be on regular Nick, like the 2K12 one? Right, or wrong, Rose?:tconfuse:

I don't think Nick has any TMNT stuff on any of their sites right now.

I have no clue what the plans are for 2K3, but that would probably make more sense to be on NickToons.

Hmmm, you might be right, but I don't have time to find out right now, as I'm running out of time here at the library. Drat their Cassie system and its 2-hour time limit!!:tmad::tgrumble::tlol:!

Me. neither, but that could be the case. Have to keep checking on it, I guess.

As far as a TMNT Toon BEING on NickToons, maybe the 2K3 one was the one that they were taling about in that press release they issued back in 2010 sometime saying that there IS going to be a TMNT Toon ON NickToons at some point in the future. Dunno.

Thankies for the info, though, Rose. I appreciate it.:twink::tgrin:

Wait a minute! Hold it right there! :teek: Tell me if I'm wrong or not: is the Kung-Fu Panda series out now?! I've lost Nickelodeon, and I've not seen any advertisements on it yet. How is it? I have not seen the sequel yet.

[BubblyShell22]

I haven't seen Kung Fu Panda yet, but I did check out Winx yesterday, and I love it. Despite the fact that the voices are a bit different from the 4Kids version, it's still good. I think they're going more towards the Italian version as there were things in there that weren't in the 4Kids version. Either way, I'm happy to see Winx again and hope that they'll continue the series on where 4Kids left off.

Same poses. Seems like these production pieces are all they have to display thus far
