Foot Soldiers confirmed (design in toy revealed)

[CyberCubed]

The toys were shown, we have a new mutant named "Meat Sweets" and also the design of the Foot Soldier:

http://news.toyark.com/2018/02/16/rise-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-toys-debut-toy-fair-286026#images

So far no toy for Baron Draxum or Shredder, so we don't know their designs.

I'm glad the Foot were confirmed, their designs based on the toy look alright. Remind me of the shadow ninja's during the 2k3's Battle Nexus.

[newfan]

View of the vehicles too.... and Aprils mystical looking pet....

[CyberCubed]

The toy of April makes me hope she's not wearing her glasses all the time in the show, she looks better with them off.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

The Turtle Tank looks cool.

[newfan]

So TMNT's twitter account are advertising a toy reveal tomorrow, were these released early?

[terrorblade]

The character between Raph and Don on the lair playset might be Baron Draxum. Looks like a boss-type villain.

[neatoman]

I mean... Did anyone really think the Foot wasn't gonna be in this? I mean yeah, Baron Cena might be a thing for a while but we all know Shredder will pop up eventually.

I'm more interested in the cat thing and pig monster.

[CyberCubed]

The Pig looks to just be another typical mutant character, it's obvious this show will have as many new mutants as the 2012 one did.

[sdp]

Except they haven't confirmed any foot soldiers, that character is Origami Ninja “Confetti Commandos,” and not a foot soldier. Looks like Cubed is #notreadyforthenewnew

There were also some people on twitter wondering WTF they had done to Shredder when talking about the Baron

Edit:wait there's a foot symbol on the ninja? Where I can't make it out.

Oh, on the page Cubed Posted a link to it said foot solider on the description under the toy so I thought the same.

[utromx]

The pattern on his face kind of looks like someone stepped on his face with a dirty bare foot. Five dots for toes.

[TurtleWA]

Maybe this is the Origami Ninja

And this is the Footsoldier

[newfan]

That could be likely, I was wondering who the other one was. What would be the point in not having the foot but still something looking like a foot solider? that wouldn't seem very 'new' to me.

[sdp]

Ok, I can see the foot now but man what awful proportions :lol: I mean a heart and some tiny little toes? I really think you guys are stretching it with him being a foot ninja but more power to you. The description is also written by some guy uploading the pics but they do get them from a press release so who knows. I'd say it's up in the air like Splinter being human or a mutated rat.

[TurtleWA]

Hopefully tomorrow we find out for certain. :tsmile:

A toy might not give the best view, like those green eyes, are they glowing green eyes? we can't tell....but other than that it looks foot-like. Wonder if we'll see more designs or they will confirm anything else before it airs, do they usually?

[CyberCubed]

That's definitely a Foot symbol on the face of the mask. You see the foot and the 5 toes.

[Ninjinister]

Well I mean that one has origami shuriken so that would make sense to be Origami Ninja, no?

Why can't it be both?

[TurtleWA]

Yes makes sense.

It could be both.

[sdp]

I don't know I'd say it's 50/50, they clearly give him a different name in the press release and while it does seem too similar looking to a foot to just be a coincidence I just think it's too goofy to be real, maybe it looks much better in the actual show?

One of the few telling things is no Shredder in the initial toy wave, but that might be because they might keep Shredder in the shadows for awhile and not reveal him right away like every other cartoon does because Baron Draxum looks like he'll be in the opening eps. I can see something just like the Foot alone harrassing the Turtles on the streets and the Turtles having no idea where they come from. Then in the mid-season finale at episode 13 of Season 1, Shredder debuts.

[sdp]

The Next Mutation did have a Shredder figure even if he was basically a nobody on the show. It just feels odd for him not to have one.

I do think that if Shredder is not in the first season they have to bring him back because fans/outlets will bring it up at every interview, similar to how the 2012 show brought Rocksteady/Beebop for those reasons.

The Baron looks a different color but similar to what I thought he'd look, I think he'll be a generic villain like Lord Dregg in the OT. Man, I just don't see this show being too successful, it has everything going against it but loving it so far.

[CyberCubed]

I definitely see Shredder being already introduced in Season 1, but he might be more of an "Emperor Paplatine" character in he's mostly in the shadows for a lot of it till they're ready for a reveal.

Now I think other familiar characters won't appear till Season 2 or later. I do think eventually we'll see the usual Karai, Baxter, Rat King, Leatherhead, and some form of Krang or the Utroms, but not till the second season. Unless Baxter is April's father which I really like the idea of.

[TurtleWA]

With all the changes so far it would not surprise me if Shredder is the name of April’s little sidekick cat thing.

[Sumac]

Nice one.

Or maybe he will be robot built from kitchen utensils.

Baron? His toy wasn’t in those leaks. That was Meat Sweats

[Ninjinister]

A lot of people are convinced that one of the figures on the playset is the Baron. It's likely.

Also you seriously are all trolling me deliberately with this "leak" crap now ain'tcha?

Damn, so true, we're all just assuming it's him and while it's most likely there's nothing confirmed.

I think it's only me that was trolling, I found those other "leaks" posts dumb I just repeated leak with something just as outrageous.

Mm okay. It feels like several people here think "leak" is a synonym to hypothesis, theory, speculation, or rumor, but I'd like to know how that spread.

It's like every time I see someone take a picture of a book with their phone or something and call it a scan. Or call a scan of a book a screenshot. Words have meanings dammit.

[sdp]

I see people using reboot/remake as if they were interchangeable winch they aren't.

Remake: You take an established idea and make an updated version
Reboot: You take an established idea and make a new version

[CyberCubed]

I literally have no clue what some of you are discussing anymore.

[tmntfan4ever]

11763baron draxum might be the figure in the middle of the arcade games on the RoTMNT playset since he is not listed on the individual images of the figures

[ProphetofGanja]

I'm glad the Foot were confirmed, their designs based on the toy look alright. Remind me of the shadow ninja's during the 2k3's Battle Nexus.

I feel like I have to point out that "foot soldier" is also just a generic term for the lowest rank in a standing arny. This might not be confirmation of the Foot in the show yet. Personally, if the toy was labeled "Foot ninja" then I'd be much more inclined to believe this, but it's referred to as "Origami Ninja", aka "Confetti Commandos", whatever that means.

Meat Sweats looks totally cliché but I love it. I'm wondering if the center villain in the playset is Draxum then who is the other figure with the flaming staff. It appears to have the same symbol on its face as the evil ninja up top

http://news.toyark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2018/02/rise-of-the-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-toys-april.jpg

I'm getting a manic, Tasmanian Devilesque vibe from April's little animal friend

[Shellington]

The foot mark on the ninja mask looks neat.

Now that the Foot is confirmed I'm looking forward to seeing how the Shredder and possibly the rest of his clan (Karai, Bebop and Rocksteady) will look.

Meat sweats not sweets.

[shredder orokusaki]

And you were saying that i will not be in the show but as you see i and my foot ninjas are here! AND I WILL BE AGAIN THE MAIN VILLIAN!!

[NinjaPug]

The TMNT Twitter account labeled this character as an Origami Ninja not a Foot Soldier

[newfan]

Yeah foot soldiers don't usually get names, this guy is listed as a villain, if we are seeing a foot on his mask I suppose the relation could be if he is someone high ranking maybe?

[sdp]

It's odd, it all points to him not being a foot soldier but that foot on his mas is clearly a foot even if a ridiculously deformed looking one, the 5 toes is too much to just be a coincidence.

[TurtleWA]

On the Pixel Dan video the Playmates rep says the Foot lieutenant creates origami footsoldier. Footsoldier being the fig with foot print on face. The foot lieutenant being the other fig that is orange/purple looking.

[sdp]

Yeah, that video actually features a lot of new information, besides confirming the foot which are created from paper by the foot lieutenant (the other ninja figure on the playset) they say:

"You'll have to wait and see what happens with Shredder" So, seems like he will indeed be in the show.

Meat Sweats literally sweats meats

also Baron Draxum to be officially unveilled at the Nick Awards show

They obtain mystical powers. "They'll have these weapons one season Maybe they'll eventually graduate to their main weapons later"

"Raphael will be starting out as a leader"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EDImjMFjTs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy2RRoCOLp8

They're aware that they're coming off of the 2012 show and that fans are "very passionate" so they know most hate the show :lol:
"be patient, wait until you see it, it'll all make sense, it's all respectful to the franchise"

Good summary. Also in Fall 2019 they will introduce the hidden city. The attachment portion below the lair. That looks cool and has what looks like a giant dragon tail slide. Also the playmates rep mention the collectors line might be happening again as well. Pixel Dan specifically asked about the collectors stuff.

[Sumac]

"You'll have to wait and see what happens with Shredder" So, seems like he will indeed be in the show.
He will be a drawing made by magical pencil.

That's what they all say...

[CyberCubed]

Maybe Shredder is like the 2k3's Demon Shredder and has magical abilities to fit in with the show. Oroku Saki being a feudal Japan warlord ressurrected in modern times would fit in with the show.

See? Iam coming! And will kill all the turtles and Splinter!!

[newfan]

Quite a lot of info there.
Glad Shredder is likely to show up at some point...hopefully that build up I was thinking he'd have.
.... and did it say 'Raph will be starting out as leader'? that too is sounding better.

Meat sweats just sounds gross :)

I don't know why, but this is only comment I've seen from you that made me laugh.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Are these Foot human?

[neatoman]

Are these Foot human?

Since human applies to most versions of TMNT (Mirage, Image, IDW, 1990, 4Kids, Platinum Dunes, Next Mutation, the only Nickelodeon season that actually was a big hit), I'm gonna assume human. I mean they're robots in, like what? The Fred Wolf cartoon due to broadcast standards, Archie as a consequence of being a tie-in and most of the Nickelodeon seasons?

[Candy Kappa]

Maybe the Foot soldiers are origami brought to life by magic or something.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

Their arms look robotic.

The foot ninja are indeed origami made by the foot lieutenant, so they're paper and not humans. I hope this allows them to be shredded into pieces at least.

[CyberCubed]

The Foot Lieutenants are probably human then.

Hmm I wonder if they will have corny jokes based around this. “I’m sweating my meatballs off.”

Pixel Dan has terrible sound in his video. Unless it’s my speakers.

11 min episodes are okay I guess. At least it will be over quicker for the parents that have to watch with their kids and are not fans themselves.

[sdp]

Hearing the toyfair interviews it seems it was Playmates who designed this show completely. I'm not against that but here there was no Peter Laird stopping their crazy ideas. All the new things on the new show seem to be directly influenced by the gimmicks of the figures.

That's... bizarre. How could that be weaponized?


And he has a tentacle arm.

[Candy Kappa]

I like that idea, the 2012 got some brutal no-holding-back fight scenes when the Foot was replaced with robots. Hopefully that'll give us even more Samurai Jack similarities when it comes to combat choreography.

Sounds like a really, really, really bad early-1950's science fiction film.

[AquaParade]

Wow. That's...Yikes.


Although, paper foot ninjas is a fun idea in a bubble.

[CyberCubed]

sdp is wrong, the names of the two showrunners/directors came up with this pitch to Nick. Look up their names they don't work for playmates.

It's like Playmates can't influence decisions...
Obviously, it had never had happened before.
:roll:

[Powder]

They didn't design the show, Andy & Ant did. Period.

Playmates may develop vehicles or other toyetic stuff from time to time, but they're not the creative face of it.

[CyberCubed]

:roll:

Playmates has nothing to do with the character designs of the Turtles, or the new cast of villains we're getting. Neither did the previous 2012 series for that matter, Ciro, Brandon, and co. designed all the new mutants themselves.

I seriously can't remember the last time Playmates designed a character that showed up in canon, I don't think we've had that since possibly the evil Turtlebot toy who showed up in the 2k3 series back in 2004.

[IndigoErth]

That's... bizarre. How could that be weaponized?
Salmonella?



If these 'Foot' are actually paper... Too bad Raph's sai were replaced with tonfa and not flamethrowers. Super easy fight then. Donnie can have built it, and...Leo and Mikey can fart around in the background, I guess.

[CyberCubed]

Well the Foot Soldier himself is human, I suppose, it's the Foot Origami ninja that are paper.

Considering that Playmates are one of the producers of the show, I hardly believe that they have nothing to do with character designs.

If you're speaking of the Turtles or the villains revealed so far, you're factually wrong. The two showrunners/directors are the ones who came up with this vision for the characters (as well as black April) and new designs for the Turtles. They work for Nick, not Playmates.

Playmates might have a hand in the vehicles or future mutant suggestions, but nothing so far.

[sdp]

A toymaker can play a huge role in a series, and IIRC when it came to 2k3 it was a 3 way vote, 4Kids/Playmates/Mirage for any decisions.

The Nickelodeon Foot robots were pointless, since the Kraang were inside robots the turtles could hack and slash without any major moral panic outcry.

[Zachatello00]

I think I like it better than the classic robot, though. I mean, robots were cool because the turtles could totally own them in the show, but changing it up in this way is, interesting at least.

[Coola Yagami]

Playmates has always had a say in the show. All 3 cartoons thus far shilled vehicles. The 80s show shilled characters and the 2K3 show shilled the variant outfits.

And of course if the toys fail the show gets cancelled regardless what the fans think of it.
