2014 "officially licensed" movie turtles costume for this Halloween :(

[jacobzking]

I posted this in the "what will they look like thread" but since its the first official glimpse I figured it was worth a new thread.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

:ohwell: i don't like the look of that.

[CyberCubed]

Oh god, they DO have humanoid faces!

THE HORROR.

**** Michael Bay and everyone associated with this movie.

[dericrw]

Face......palm!

[jacobzking]

looks like shrek with an orange bandana

[CyberCubed]

This movie needs to burn in the fiery pits of hell! All our worst fears are becoming true!

I wake up this morning to this!

[snooz]

if images of the actual characters are going to look better than this, they need to release them. Because that looks terrible. I have been so anxious to see what they look like, this seems like an unfair first look… I'm still hopeful, but that head looks bad

also just noticed, it looks like mikey has some sort of design/tattoo on his arm. That would be kind of strange. I don't know why, but I perceive that as far more strange than clothes.

This movie needs to burn in the fiery pits of hell! All our worst fears are becoming true!

I wake up this morning to this!

you just woke up?!

[dericrw]

Jim Carry in the "Mask".... AWFUL

[Andrew NDB]

I'm shocked that... anyone is shocked.

[Vulkanthekrusader]

Holy ****ing **** dude that face sculpt looks too much like a man, I have a really bad feeling about this ****, Ninjas rock shades while they fight too i guess.

[Vicky82]

Wow, that is wired, but it's only a Halloween costume. I'll just wait till we get proper movie pictures of the turtles then i'll decided if i'll like the turtles design on not.

[CyberCubed]

This movie is truly going to be the worst thing to happen to the TMNT franchise since Next Mutation.

I HATE IT I HATE I HATE IT :x

Oh well at least we still have Nick and IDW :lol:

[CyberCubed]

Oh god did anyone just notice the sunglasses attached to Mike's plastron? So he wears sunglasses now to look cool?

[Koi]

That looks like photoshop to me.

[TurtleMikey]

I suddenly feel really, really sick.


AND IS THAT A TATTOO ON HIS LEFT ARM!!!! :o

[kwalsh007]

DISGUSTING!!!:(:cry::cry:

[turtlefanforever]

They shoulda hired Jim carrey to play him

[CyberCubed]

Guys this is, "Dudebro Mikey."

Judging by his clothing he's probably going to speak in ebonic slang too saying things like, "My home turtles!" And "Dat's Phat!" and "Shell it to me bruddah!"

[Koi]

Source the image.

[turtlefanforever]

Jim Carry in the "Mask".... AWFUL
Hey sorry I didn't read your comment before I posted. Said the same exact thing!
Oh god did anyone just notice the sunglasses attached to Mike's plastron? So he wears sunglasses now to look cool?

Maybe they're doing a Johnny cage mortal kombat spin on him

Good lord :|

[Candy Kappa]

That costume, to hilarious for words.

I'm sure the actual movie turtles looks better. Not by much, the design is dreadfully funny, but still.

[MastahShredder]

Horrid. The chain, the sunglasses..everything about it.

[turtlefanforever]

To everyone who said they like the idea of clothes and said "there're no argument against them wearing clothes". This is what you get :trolleye:

[Candy Kappa]

And the icing in the cake is the bro dude sunglasses.

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

First of all, I'm not digging his design.

Secondly, I don't think it'll be THAT bad in the finished product. Kid's Halloween costumes aren't exactly the most high-quality representations of the characters they're depicting. Now, if this were a figure from Hot Toys or something, then I'd say what we see is what we're getting. But just to give you some perspective...

Let me grab my popcorn.. This will be an interesting thread. Lol

[The Stryker]

Only dudebros wear sunglasses.

Thanks for the memo.

Also, Halloween costume. Proof that it'll look EXACTLY like that.

[MastahShredder]

And the icing in the cake is the bro dude sunglasses.

The chain is SO tacky. I could deal with the sunglasses but it looks like Mikey is a wannabe rapper.

[MST3KFan]

Wow. And I used to think the Next Mutation turtles looked terrible. If this is a sign of what the turtles are going to look like...yeah, this movie can rot.

[CyberCubed]

The humanoid faces were obviously done so the real-life actors could still be seen through the Turtles.

How disgusting. Why would I want to see Turtles with human faces? Are one of them going to have a sex scene with Megan Fox?

[Candy Kappa]

You welcome.

[MST3KFan]

Another thing to point out...how the HELL did a mutant turtle get a tattoo!?

Is Splinter teaching them the art of skin inking?

[CyberCubed]

So those horrid nostrils from the "Out of the shadows" videogame returns. I knew that garbage game was a preview of the future!

Make it stop! Make it stop!

[The Stryker]

You're just going to go and go on this all day aren't you?

[Donatello19]

The clothing and chain don't bother me...the sunglasses are a little weird to see, but whatever. What really bothers me is the tattoo and the skin, which is way too lizard like in my opinion. Way too many scales! I don't want to judge his face, because let's face it...it's a mask! It's obviously going to need to be a little "human like" to fit a human child's face! I mean, it looks like he has a human nose, but that could be just for the mask. The lips and chin, however, I'm not so sure about. It's by no means a great/perfect design, but I don't think it's downright horrible...I mean, at least it's not as bad as this:

They're going to have Megan Fox kiss Raphael on the lips in this movie. I bet you.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

Jim Carry in the "Mask".... AWFUL

That's what I thought!
also, why would he have sunglasses that obviously wouldn't fit around his head?


And also... nostrils...:tsad:

No wonder they have loin clothes and are more human like. Also I thought of the amazing Spider-Man as soon as I saw that.

They had tattoos in the comics.

Medieval ink job is pretty darn mental. Probably a good way of getting used to physical pain.

Wait, what? When?

The more you keep bringing this up (when no one else is), the more it makes me think that you want this...

I'd still chose that over this.

[Donatello19]

So those horrid nostrils from the "Out of the shadows" videogame returns.

Uh, cubed...the kid behind the costume mask has to breathe somehow...all halloween masks have those, so it's probably just for the costume.

[The Stryker]

Wait, what? When?

Could've sworn they got tattoos late in the mirage days.

[MST3KFan]

Be afraid if you're a fan of the 2012 cartoon and the IDW comics if this movie is a hit...they'll start mandating that the characters have to start looking more and more like this new live action movie's versions of the turtles.

They did for the 80s toon towards the end in a sense, they did for the final season of the 2003 toon.

Transformers had it happen in their recent cartoon as well where the designs were heavily movie inspired.

[Vicky82]

I don't mind the design of the costume/body but it's the face/mask I don't like.

Thinking about it the mask doesn't match the costume as they are both different shades of green it doesn't seem to match. Maybe they used a fake mask to throw us off.

I doubt it, the Nick show is too recognizable to kids now for them to change the designs.

And IDW's Turtles already look different everytime the artist changes.

[samxsteal]

This it's totally photo shopped and you all are falling for it. Just look at the photo closely. The poster didn't even post a workable link and every one is jumping to conclusion it is funny.those who don't like it jump at any chance the can to prove there right with out any facts. Just find it funny

Like I said before, the mask needs to meet the requirements to be just that...a mask. Comfort over accuracy.

It's real because its similar to previous reports of the Turtles wearing human clothes and having humanoid faces.

There are too many coincidences to ignore.

[Candy Kappa]

Could've sworn they got tattoos late in the mirage days.
I've never seen that, although I'm sure someone can correct me.

But, I think the Soul's Winter version of the turtles have some tribal markings, either paint or maybe tattoo.

Thinking about it the mask doesn't match the costume as they are both different shades of green it doesn't seem to match. Maybe they used a fake mask to throw us off.

It's a children's costume for probably a cheap penny, the mask will of course be of low quality compared to the printing of the body suit.

[The Stryker]

Like I said before, the mask needs to meet the requirements to be just that...a mask. Comfort over accuracy.

NO!

NO NOSTRILS! Let the children suffocate! As long as Michelangelo looks how I want!

[samxsteal]

It's real because its similar to previous reports of the Turtles wearing human clothes and having humanoid faces.

Exactly it an almost perfect to the very vague disruption and nothing more the skin and mask are two totally different textures the line clearly looked photo shopped and anyone with basic photoshopping skills and the description could make this. Seriously

[turtlefanforever]

But it seems very likely based on description. Bay said they would have human eyes and humanoid features. And the only report this costume goes against is the one from the user "Donnie" about the pants.

[Donatello19]

Out of all things to see the design on, this has to be the worst. It's a children's costume...it's just a cheap body suit with printing on it, and a rubber mask. They're obviously not going to get this to be 100% accurate, especially the mask and body proportions. Now, if we had, say, an action figure or something to look at, then we could have a more accurate representation. The only thing this costume really confirms/shows us is the clothing, accessories, tattoo, and body/skin texture.

[Candy Kappa]

Even the skin texture could be all wrong, it loos way too unorganized and unnatural... Too fake.

[NinjaPug]

I'm not about to judge anything about the design based on a children's Halloween costume.

[Donatello19]

The only thing that looks photoshopped is the right arm...everything else looks real.

[The Stryker]

Know what though? Sunglasses kinda make sense.

Dude lived in a sewer all his life. I feel like I'm gonna go blind sometimes leaving a movie theater!!

[TigerClaw]

I posted this in the "what will they look like thread" but since its the first official glimpse I figured it was worth a new thread.

http://www.******************************/blog/costume-reveals-the-first-looks-of-the-movie-turtles/
Halloween Costumes aren't always movie accurate, you gotta take that with a grain of salt. Besides, usually the mask has to be made to fit the head of any human being. So I though that is the final design.

[Candy Kappa]

Dude lived in a sewer all his life. I feel like I'm gonna go blind sometimes leaving a movie theater!!

That does make sense, although turtles don't do so well without sunlight.

[samxsteal]

Not trying to judge but . Look at the photo closely, the textures run off the edges and the pose looks just like the one they used for at older Michelangelo custom with this hubbub thrown on top. The mask looks nothing like the rest, costumes aren't prefect but they're better then this

[Chris]

It's a cheap Halloween costume, they always look terrible. Seriously, even simple costumes like Superman look bad. All this tells us is that the figure descriptions were legit and the TMNT are going to have unique looks/wear some clothing.

Honestly, I can live with the clothing, it's the nostrils I hate, but like others have said that could just be a health and safety thing (it's kinda important kids can breath wearing the costume after all). I'll reserve judgement for the trailer which should hopefully be soon.

[TrickOrTreater]

Ick.

Yeah they probably should have just released official images of the turtles before this got out there. If it's real.

[909 Turtle Fan]

I thought Raphael was going to be the one with a loin cloth. I'm just going to try and stay positive about this movie and enjoy it for what it is.

[chrisdude]

Sick.

Human face and head shape, as expected. Necklace and sunglasses suit Mikey just fine. He's got a friggin' turtle tattoo. Shoes, though?

So much personality. I can't wait to see how the other turtles turned out.

[Chris]

Yeah they probably should have just released official images of the turtles before this got out there.

This is true. With UK Toyfair now and NY Toyfair in a few weeks they had to know something like this would probably slip out, they've been so secretive for so long (worrying really, most major films have a teaser a year or more before release) an official image should have been released before UK Toyfair (before Christmas really) to both start the publicity build up and make sure Paramount got to do the reveal rather than a merchandise leak.

[Marksenad]

At the end of the day, what they look like is out of our control

[TMNT is cooler than MOTU]

Yah, that's pretty much the deal with this, I think. Hopefully this leak will prompt Paramount to release something official very very soon.

[Roseangelo]

Not exactly shocked at how much this sucks, but still disappointed that this is our reality.

[Plasticplayhouse]

1. this is totally photoshopped

2. it makes no sense why they would leak images of a halloween costume before the toys. movie toys are almost always the first images leaked.

3. cubed, how many rambling posts are you going to make in the same thread? get it all out in one post and be done with it.

[hitmonkey]

Well, that certainly looks terrible. Also wondering how they found someone willing to give him that tattoo on his left arm. Is Donnie now a skilled tattoo artist?

[turtlefanforever]

Well, that certainly looks terrible. Also wondering how they found someone willing to give him that tattoo on his left arm. Is Donnie now a skilled tattoo artist?

Maybe he does it with some weird computer program? Who knows. This whole thing just sucks. I honestly might now even see the movie now.

[The Stryker]

Ohhhh yeah. I'm so sure.

Change that to "might not see it at a midnight screening" and someone might believe you.

[Powder]

Everyone saying it's fake, don't get your hopes up.

[samxsteal]

Everyone saying it's fake, don't get your hopes up.

What evidence do we have this is real?

[Vulkanthekrusader]

now looking at it , it does looked photoshopped, but it contains everything the people who have told us what he's wearing, the pants with the orange trim and the shoes open toed at the bottom the stupid sweater wrapped around the waist, the necklace and shades, but damn I pray its just a photoshop or someone who is trolling the forums.

[chrisdude]

What evidence do we have this is real?Just that it fits all descriptions, and would be a generally stupid thing to make up. The hoodie on the waist, orange lines on the pants, the shoe, and shell necklace have each been reported.

[bridgegrn]

A few people have claimed to have seen the designs, I'm sure they can confirm this is real. So disappointing. This will be all over the internet soon so maybe the backlash will force them to release official pics to spin the bad word of mouth.

[ryukenden]

What the Shell is that?!? That can't be the default look! Looks more like one of those whacked variants from the vintage toyline!

[1984TMNT]

Hate to say it. This seems legit. The tatoo on his arm - same as the poster we've all seen:

http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/54573/turtles%20poster.jpg

[Anton Chigurh]

I wouldn't buy into it fits the descibtions because whoever photoshopped this read the same stuff we did, so that makes no since. With that said it might be real :(. Love me some turtle lips. joking...

[xChri5x]

We need that one guy to confirm and comment on the costume. Maybe he can shed light on how different or similar the real movie designs are.

[d_osborn]

I thought Raphael was going to be the one with a loin cloth.
That's a sweatshirt or hoodie tied around his waist.

[samxsteal]

This I'd exactly why out seems super fake. The textures like mashed together half heartedly. And the it's next top no surprise to what it looks like Cuz whoever photoshopped this just mashed things into the photo based off of vague descriptions. Plus there is not proof this even came close to coming from somewhere reputable

[Aelia]

Loving the big kissable turtle lips on it. :lol:

[jiggacrazy]

Crap. As expected. **** Michael Bay and his horrible movies.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

I think it is Photoshopped. I don't know, something looks...off about it.

It better be Photoshopped.

[samxsteal]

Just that it fits all descriptions, and would be a generally stupid thing to make up. The hoodie on the waist, orange lines on the pants, the shoe, and shell necklace have each been reported.

All thing from a vague description. Plus the shoes are from the wearer not the costume if you look closely

[1984TMNT]

I'm literally LOL'ing looking at this thing. Especially when I zoom in and give it a good look.

Haahahahahaa. Whether this is real or a joke, it's completely funny and laughable.

[Refractive Reflections]

Why isn't anybody questioning the source of this information? (Yet I do recognize people are suspicious of the costume design.) Uh... and how come the link has nothing but asterisks? It's hard to take that costume with any degree of seriousness if there's no official link of a store (i.e. Halloween USA) claiming an "officially licensed" 2014 costume. Or unless some can post a legit site including it to support this image.

...But the reactions in this thread sure are hilarious. :lol:

[chrisdude]

Here's a blog entry and a tweet from Jared Krichevsky, credited on IMDB as "creature designer" for the film.

First look at #TMNT #Michaelangelo! halloween costume. Mikey was a blast work on! Can't wait for this movie!
https://twitter.com/Monstermash042/status/426080985487118336

Okay everyone. Here it is, now it's a halloween costume, so don't take it as the be all end all of the design. bUT I'm so excited seeing this start to come to fruition. I spent 7 months of my life working on TMNT the movie. I'm such a huge fan and it was a dream come true to work on. I promise that the designs are cool and that movie is going to be a lot of fun. I'll be posting more as it develops! Here's the LINK to the article [Thanks to ******************************]

Well...to be fair. This is worse:
http://www.mrcostumes.com/images/pz/25325/michelangelo-ninja-turtle-costume-886758.jpg


So who knows how the actual design will be like

[1984TMNT]

Here's a blog entry and a tweet from Jared Krichevsky, credited on IMDB as "creature designer" for the film.





Are we good, now?

"The coolest thing about this new Turtles look is that Paramount really seems to be taking a more authentic Samurai Warrior/ Japanese culture approach toward the Turtles and we think that is a pretty cool thing. It would certainly be consistent in regards to original vision of Turtles creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, wouldn’t it?"

Who the F&*K are they kidding???? LOL

[Cowabunga Carl]

I saw this on FB and thought I'd check out the storm it caused on the boards. Wasn't disappointed. I've tried really hard to stay positive about the film, and I'm going to keep trying. It's a kid costume, not final look. Who knows when we see it fully rendered it might look passible.

[CyberCubed]

The people behind this movie are SCUMBAGS!

[Cipher]

Wait.

I like this. Utterly and without irony.

Sorry, everyone. I dig it. First thing about the movie I have.

[Refractive Reflections]

Here's a blog entry and a tweet from Jared Krichevsky, credited on IMDB as "creature designer" for the film.

Are we good, now?

Thanks chrisdude, appreciate it. :)
...But I honestly don't know what to think about the facial appearance of Turtles now. :lol: Yet it's odd that something like this leaks so early, but yet the plot details are still relatively guarded. Any of you think the staff behind the movie are testing the public's reaction instead, to see if they need to make last minute post-production changes?

I have to say though, I never liked the Turtles having big diameter craniums/skulls like humans do. It always made them look more "humanoid" or alien-like rather than looking like a turtle.

[PizzaPower]

i'll just wait to see the final look.

[chrisdude]

But...where did the picture even come from? The link in the OP still doesn't work. Assuming this came off a Halloween costume website, the other turtles should be there, too.

[turtlefanforever]

We need that one guy to confirm and comment on the costume. Maybe he can shed light on how different or similar the real movie designs are.

Donnie where are you?! Lol

[Cipher]

You guys, I really like this. I'm actually a little more into the movie as a whole now that I'm getting a sense for its aesthetic.

I am a bad fan.

Sorry still don't buy it imdb can be change by
Just about anyone and have you visited his blog and do you really think done one actually work on the movie would be aloud to leak something like this when there not even let Lego pictures leak really sorry. And the other blog is just a fan site. Sorry just don't buy it

you know its actually not terrible...yes the face in the stoic shot is very bland, but we as fans have to remember this is a halloween costume for kids..since when have movie halloween costumes been 100% representations of characters?jmpsuit movie transformers?Muscle Iron Man? Steroid Spiderman? im sure the final version will look better with you know actual turtle hands and in motion

I actually don't mind it , the face it's meh but in a plain way I may do my own version Cosplay wises combine old and new looks, combine my costume with the belts and bands of of this one

[bridgegrn]

[AquaParade]

They gave the turtles five fingers?! No!

Jokes aside, It's great to finally see some sort of design for the turtles. Anxious and optimistic about seeing the real thing.

[TigerClaw]

Yeah, but that link doesn't work...if it actually worked, we might of even been able to see the other turtles.
They haven't posted images of the other turtles yet.

[bridgegrn]

"The coolest thing about this new Turtles look is that Paramount really seems to be taking a more authentic Samurai Warrior/ Japanese culture approach toward the Turtles and we think that is a pretty cool thing. It would certainly be consistent in regards to original vision of Turtles creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, wouldn’t it?"

Who the F&*K are they kidding???? LOL

Except for hiring a white guy to play their Japanese nemesis :/

I'm pretty sure the actually turtles will look fine. I think the idea is pretty cool.

and what's wrong with sunglasses? I don't see the problem with it?

That costume is actually pretty damn awesome and close to the actual rendered Nick image.

[samxsteal]

You're proposing quite an elaborate hoax, at this point...


What is that? Do you see a link?
Not a basic just a bunched people believing one guy who poetically added his own name and photo shopped a photo to a description we have all heard. And fan sites ate it up like that Baxter stockmen rumor. If we used
Z brush and is a designer the photo would look so much better sorry

[CyberCubed]

I just can't get over the nostrils and human faces.

[Night Watcher]

For the most part I actually like the design. The biggest complaint I have with it is the tattoo on his shoulder and his face. Even out of the shadows game found a good balance between the classic turtle faces but with more human features.

[Candy Kappa]

Not to mention the nick costume do reflect the overall look of Nick Leo. Same as the movie costume will reflect the overall look of movie Mikey, and personally I don't like what I'm seeing I the movie Halloween costume details.

[Refractive Reflections]

Thanks chrisdude, appreciate it. :)
...But I honestly don't know what to think about the facial appearance of Turtles now. :lol: Yet it's odd that something like this leaks so early, but yet the plot details are still relatively guarded. Any of you think the staff behind the movie are testing the public's reaction instead, to see if they need to make last minute post-production changes?


Okay so I checked the article and reread it again, the teenagemutantninjaturtles(dot)com article is merely claiming that "Someone has unveiled a first glimpse" and was mistakenly sent to a costume company.

Hmmm... while I know leaks can never have a source, the events of this leak just seem odd.

[BabyTurtles]

That costume is actually pretty damn awesome and close to the actual rendered Nick image.

your not helping!!

come on this is gonna be a live action film! I'd imagine the turtle costumes would be a littttle harder to copy.

[CyberCubed]

The Turtles look like humans! It's like looking at a bald human with a green face!

[samxsteal]

The creature designer confirmed it via Twitter.

But why would they allow some guy to release this photo and not let Lego release photo of the movie sets. It makes no since. any one can post there working on a movie where's the proof and if he does his career is done now good one on his part

[Sabacooza]

Holy Hell! Yeah, I'm out. There's no need for me to see this movie now. Utter garbage.:x

[Refractive Reflections]

The Turtles look like humans! It's like looking at a bald human with a green face!

Didn't Irma say something similar in the episode "Shredderville" ("You're not bad for bald men with green skin")? :lol:

[chrisdude]

The Turtles look like humans! It's like looking at a bald human with a green face!Hmm. You're right. Why didn't they put Mikey's fitted cap in the costume?

[TigerClaw]

I don't think the design of the head reflect on what the Turtles look like in the new movie, Humans have round shaped heads most of the time and the Turtles usually don't. Given that the actors had cameras pointed at there faces to capture facial expressions, I don't think they are using the shape of there head to render the Turtle's faces, But rather, To render there mouth movements.

Alright, so according to what they said, the images were sent out to costume companies by mistake. With this logic, the other three turtles are out there somewhere.

[Donatello19]

What isn't he helping, people to agree with you?

[1984TMNT]

Alright, so according to what they said, the images were sent out to costume companies by mistake. With this logic, the other three turtles are out there somewhere.

They say directly "We’re unveiling the Michelangelo image today, but don’t worry Turtles fans, we’ll be revealing the other Turtles shortly."

To my other point regarding this statement:
"The coolest thing about this new Turtles look is that Paramount really seems to be taking a more authentic Samurai Warrior/ Japanese culture approach toward the Turtles and we think that is a pretty cool thing. It would certainly be consistent in regards to original vision of Turtles creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, wouldn’t it?"

Not only do I highly disagree that the leaked image looks ANYTHING like Eastman/Laird's original vision - I'm not picking up ANY "Samurai Warrior/ Japanese culture" vibe or look from the picture, so not sure WTF they are talking about here. Perhaps they are referencing Leo (as it's been rumored he wears samurai-esk gear)?

Regardless, unnecessary clothing aside, the head designs are just freaking awful....everything from the shape of the head to the protruding nose (let alone nostrils) to the friggin' human type lips.

It's about as terrible as I think it could ever get.

Hope real images come out soon and prove me wrong.

[TurtleTitan97]

He has a point, though. The costumes based on the Nick cartoon look much better than this one.

[BabyTurtles]

What isn't he helping, people to agree with you?

I was trying to get people to calm down, by saying halloween costumes don't reflect what the actually character is gonna look like, cause they usually look kinda bad.

then he said that the NickLeo costume looked pretty good XD thus proving me wrong, which didn't help me calm down anyone.

[Donatello19]

They say directly "We’re unveiling the Michelangelo image today, but don’t worry Turtles fans, we’ll be revealing the other Turtles shortly."


So they're the only ones that have images of the other turtles?

Because in the particular example you used, it didn't back up your statement. That's actually the best looking and most faithful adaptations (for a costume) I've ever seen to the source material that was being used/referenced.

So they're the only ones that have images of the other turtles?

I have no idea.

If that was the case then we'd have seen rough designs and concept art by now which is not uncommon. In fact wasn't Optimus Prime from the Transformers movies slightly redesigned after fans reacted badly to designs they put out early.

It doesn't really suprise me that we're seeing merchendise first, surely that's the main concern with this movie. The plot - such as it will be is probably a turn off anyway so best to keep it under wraps rather than let this movie's stigma grow even more - hasn't Kevin Eastman been as good as saying that?

And let's not forget this is Michelangelo, we're looking at.

Considering that the justifcation for the turtles wearing clothes is so they are more ninja-esque but that falls by the wayside if some of them are not wearing actual martial arts gear.

A better spin - and one that fans have made is that it's supposed to better highlight the turtles individual personalities but that's not what the powers that be are claiming (so far) and even then has it ever been necessary before? It also doesn't make it any less fugly.

I've been looking forward to the complete meltdown of this place once an official-ish image hit. You guys do not disappoint.

Well it is a pretty eye rolling design

[TerranigmaFreak]

I... don't mind the cloths at all. The chains are tacky, but otherwise, I think it fits Michaelangelo. I'll reserve judgement on the face. This is just a Halloween costume.

On a side note, check out this Halloween mask. Always wanted one as a kid. They're very high quality.

I laughed at this for like, 5 minutes straight :lol:

I got to thinking...what if all of the turtles have that same symbol tattooed on them? I mean, it was on the concept poster or whatever and now we see it on Mikey's arm, so it's got to be pretty important.

They're ripped up jeans, actually.

[snooz]

there is definitely something fishy about this. i am now feeling like i wouldn't be shocked if this turns out to be fake

if someone who actually worked on the movie was releasing this image, how would it not be taken down by now? there is ZERO chance that anyone behind the movie actually wants this to be the first look, the reveal of the turtles that have been kept SO secret until very recently, and even then we've only been given some descriptions. no images.

and it is true, after looking closer at this photo, it looks completely fake. yes, it lines up with leaked details of the toys, but that info has been available now for a week or so? Plenty of time for someone to shop this according to those details.

According to the article, images of the costumes were sent out to costume websites early, by accident of course. They listed Mikey, and now since the link is no where to be found, Paramount obviously made them take it down, along with the other turtles. HOWEVER, the article writers claim they have the pictures of the other turtles and will be releasing them shortly. The whole thing is very confusing, I'm not sure if I quite understand it myself..

[MST3KFan]

Looks like the fandom is definitely going thru the five states of grief over this now.

Seriously. What aspect of Raph's personality is being expressed by the purported loin cloth?

It's just pointless.

EDIT: Also, I really have no idea what the point of the sweater wrapped around his waist is. Usually when people do that, they were wearing it at some point and will be wearing it again.

I doubt he'd be able to wear it, given his shell. It'd look hilariously awkward, in the not good way. So it's just...for show? How odd.

[Powder]

No, D19, they're not jeans. They're athletic pants of some variety.

[bridgegrn]

I don't think the 'it obviously looks photo shopped so it can't be real ' reasoning holds considering all promotional images are photo shopped in one way or another before being released. This is most likely legit folks.

Seriously thought there is next to no actual proof this it's reall. Haters seem to be grasping at anything negative.

[Blossombrooks]

I want so badly to not hate this but I just cannot stand the protruding nostrils or the lipped look. Sure nostrils could work (if they're subtle) and if it was just that I'd prob get used to it but humanised lips are all kinds of weird to imagine.
The clothing I'm ok with, it could add some interesting movement during a fight scene.
Tattoo again, yeah, I liked that on Zulli's so could be good but it won't make a human>turtle okay over a turtle>human.
I'm still stupidly clinging on to the hope though that I see the film, love it, and have to eat my words but it ain't looking likely.

The word "loincloth" just came from one dude who saw the toys. Loincloths were darned common on samurai, they just have some other Japanese name for them. Chillax, bros...

I either don't see these type of costumes all year, or I'm just not aware of them.

I agree they look strickly functional. If some one could edit it erase eyes, graph over nostrils and widen it out(I'm sure it's narrower due to head strap). Mite have better idea. I would but im on iPhone.

[jiggacrazy]

People need to stop posting how the design may not reflect the look of the actual turtles in the movie by posting other horrible Halloween costumes.

This design has ****ing sunglasses! Seriously...SUNGLASSES!

Oh, and cutoffs, athletic shorts, or whatever you want to call them. The design has ****ing shorts on! Seriously...SHORTS!

Guys this is, "Dudebro Mikey."

Judging by his clothing he's probably going to speak in ebonic slang too saying things like, "My home turtles!" And "Dat's Phat!" and "Shell it to me bruddah!"

so....like every other version of Mikey that isn't Mirage?

[BabyTurtles]

so....like every other version of Mikey that isn't Mirage?

I was gonna say that.....doesn't Mikey always talk like that?

especially in Nick. he's all about slang there XD (which I love BTW)

[Cipher]

Hey, so, you guys?

The Turtles might have something resembling lips because you absolutely need those muscles to make any sounds remotely resembling English phonemes.

In cartoons, you can get away with lip-sync because it doesn't need to look realistic. The Nicktoons models can be flat-faced and lipless all day long because, at the end of the day, as long as their mouth makes a vaguely convincing shape that corresponds to the correct sound, you'll buy that it's what they're saying.

In a "realistic" movie, that doesn't quite fly. You need those muscles there because, if we're to accept that these mutant, humanoid Turtles created through alien science are capable of speaking our language, they need them. And we've never had anything close to resembling an actual attempt at lip-sync in a live-action Turtle film before.

So, yeah, sorry. Lips. Pick another horse to beat. And I'm all aboard the "beak-faced, Zulli-esque monstrosity" train for any future incarnation that wants to ride it. It's just that, not only is this not a bad alternative, it actually makes more sense.

Also, he has nostrils so he can breathe? I'm not even sure why that's an issue.

[FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza]

But for a movie that I'd months away from even releasing. With absolutely no other products having been released. Seriously Lego had a toy fair going on right now with legos from the movie and there forbidding anyone from taking pictures but some dude with a stupid site can "officially release one" not likely

http://s28.postimg.org/6iul7oja5/Screen_Shot_2014_01_22_at_5_51_26_PM.png

...thats unsettling.

I cannot wait to see this movie! It's going to be an absolutely glorious train wreck and I for one am excited :D

They really have tattoos of turtles on themselves?

[Peanut]

Yo, Avada Kedavra that Voldemort lookin' b*tch, son!

[samxsteal]

Lmao, yes!! For example, look up the first Magneto and Professor X teaser posters for X-Men First Class.

So their close are real the photo shopped on so your say the actors were naked and the photo skipped there clothes on and it looked terrible lol sorry I do not agree are we looking at the same thing Cuz what I see looks laughable at best in terms of photo shop quality alone not something I would see made for something as high budget as this

[Allio]

Well, that certainly looks terrible. Also wondering how they found someone willing to give him that tattoo on his left arm. Is Donnie now a skilled tattoo artist?

Could of done it prison-style

[Filespit]

As a couple of people have already stated, this looks suspicously photoshopped. I am going to take this with a pinch of salt and wait for some real pictures of the turtles. However, if the final design looks anywhere near this I am considering boycotting the movie alltogether!

It is absolutely crazy-pants that, if nothing in regards to the actual approach or content of this movie thus far had put you off (which would be fair), this design would.

But you'll see it opening night either way.

Can we get real on what possesses fans to say things like this? I've never understood it. The whole, "X is different from X so I'm going to boycott it!" type of mentality. Not just, "Hm, I don't think I like this version," or anything more nuanced. And it's always over the smallest, least important things.

The new series your referring too is animated, and so are the turtles in this movie, so what's the difference? Cause its on the big screen they need lips? Both turtles are made from a computer. So why lips?

Because one is set among real actors and sets, attempting to simulate a wholly live-action experience and the other is a cartoon?

Also, are you serious/do you understand the concept of simulacrum at all?

Better yet, ask him to define it.

It looks fine to me. Makes me excited to see the others.

Believe whatever you want

[Blossombrooks]

I think it's possibly to reflect the actor more than speech process. Looking back to those pics of Doc Connors the cgi, live action hash usually carries some glimmer of the human behind the role. I don't know why..maybe so the public identifies with the actor? Anyhow, Noel Fisher has fairly distinctive lips and this could be (an albeit poor) representation of them.

[1984TMNT]

Those aren't just breathing holes. That's a legit nose. A forreal-forreal nose. With lips. Look at the Nick costumes, they don't have that.

Embrace it, y'all.

I'm certainly not going to embrace that. And why is his head so big and bulbous at the top? I seriously can not stop laughing at this.

[1984TMNT]

Sorry - don't buy it. The '90 TMNT movie was set among live actors and I bought them talking - still do. The original movie and a lot of it's affects still hold up today, which is saying a lot.....and the lip syncing was off in a lot of scenes. To say the CGI turtles in this movie HAVE to have lips to be believable is ridiculous.

So ... yes? That's exactly what I'm saying.

The '90s movies could kind of get away with it because the Turtles were practical effects. The same level of leeway in facial realism on a CGI model would look all kinds of cartoony. Those lips are, quite simply, part of the kind of facial structure the Turtles would have to have in real life were they to speak fluent English. It's something I hadn't really considered prior to this design surfacing, but it's totally true.

[1984TMNT]

So we're totally on the same page then?

The '90s movies could kind of get away with it because the Turtles were practical effects. The same level of leeway in facial realism on a CGI model would look all kinds of cartoony.

No, we're not on the same page. I think they could easily make the mouth move in the exact way it needs to without "puffed" out lips. Just because in reality, an animal would need full on lips to pronounce English words doesn't mean those same lips need to be shown or rendered exactly the same way.

The point is that these are mutants and don't need to look exactly like humans, even when talking. As you stated earlier, as long as their mouth moves in generaly accepted motions that coincide with certain words, it would be believable enough.

Obviously, we have different opinions on it - and it really is hard to tell without actual visuals to compare. It's a subjective call at best.

[TurtleMikey]

After a few hours of being in full on meltdown mode, I have calmed down.

And on that note, I must say......... this isn't that bad.

Actually, it's pretty good, and it's definitely unique.

I must applaud Jonathan Liebesman and Co. for pulling off a more humanoid, or rather, more realistic look that isn't totally creepy looking, like some of the fan art we've seen created over the years. After seeing many humanoid variations over the years, I can honestly say that this could've been much, much worst.

Honestly, if you were to take away the nose and the more noticable lips, its REALLY not that different than other designs. And huge thumbs up for the texture on the rest of his body. :thumbsup::thumbsup: That little detail is very nice. Hopefully its featured on the heads as well.

Now, as far as the clothing is concerned....... that's not that bad either. And like the head design, it's no where near as bad as it could have been. I, personally, like the clothes. I feel they fit nicely.

The only things about this design that I don't like, from what we can see from this costume, is the 'Next Mutation' like shell (or at least, that's what it reminds ME of) and what appears to be a tattoo on his left arm. Though, the design of the tattoo is definitely cool, so it at least has that going for it.


So for now, I'll give this design a 7.5.

Almost gave it an 8, but that godforsaken tattoo bothers me too much.

[CyberCubed]

They're disgusting human faces on green heads. They might as well have been mutated from humans now.

I get the feeling this is leading to Megan Fox and Raphael having a make-out scene. If you thought the Donnie crush in Nick was bad, this is going to take it to all new levels.

GODDAMN

:) ya know what?? bring on the Raph and April! all your talk about it has actually gotten me excited for it.

no XD but seriously....just because they are humanoid, doesn't mean a girl like April wants to kiss a mutant turtle. I'm just saying.

so don't worry about it.

[xChri5x]

The head looks longer than the real thing because the mask has to fit snug on the persons face causing it to narrow. The real deal will probably be a bit wider which gives it a much better look:

Well, it ain't crazy-pants I can tell you, I was put off a long time ago for those very reasons! However I am still holding hope that the turtles will look awesome, so that's what I meant when I said I was gonna take it (this awful design) with a pinch of salt. So to make it a bit clearer; if the turtles' design will look anywhere near this, above the already awful and off-putting content, then I will consider boycotting this movie.

Can we get real on what possesses fans to say things like this? I've never understood it. The whole, "X is different from X so I'm going to boycott it!" type of mentality. Not just, "Hm, I don't think I like this version," or anything more nuanced. And it's always over the smallest, least important things.

You know, I don't have a problem with them doing a new TMNT movie, not at all. But when they stay away completely from the concept, screw up the story, hire overpaid worthless actors and give us crappy designs like this one I think we have enough reasons to boycott it!

[tunecedemalis]

I'm going to reserve my judgment until I see an official movie design of the turtles and if I don't like it then ill come on here and bitch about it :tgrin:

The costume... if it's legit it looks like **** :o

Anyone trick-or-treating in that should expect to go home empty handed

Spoken through a busted lip I'm sure.


Honestly, though. I hope nobody is seriously considering doing some ish like denying children candy because they have the 'wrong' costume on. I know it
was probably a joke but I really don't even like the idea of that.

[Bry]

I don't see why those things should be embraced. If anything, it feels pretty unimaginative to make the Turtles' designs more "human". They're mutant animals. From a design standpoint, making them look even more humanoid just makes them look less interesting.
