April O'Neil. First Look
 
From Nick Designer's Twitter. My source confirms that this is almost the final version.

FredWolfLeonardo 01-02-2018 02:18 AM
Looks Great. Can't wait to see her in full colour.

CyberCubed 01-02-2018 02:34 AM
Considering she's wearing a raincoat, a walking stick, and a backpack, I'm guessing that won't be her standard clothes? I wonder what her "regular" clothes will look like. Would be cool if she wore that hat all the time though.

Oh, and almost forgot to say looks like teen April is confirmed. I figured she would be a teenager again since the Nick version worked well being close to the Turtles age.

Utrommaniac 01-02-2018 02:53 AM
She looks great :D ! Can't wait for the full version.

CyberCubed 01-02-2018 02:55 AM
To be honest she looks like a kid version of Kat Graham. Really looks like they modeled the design after the voice actress. Makes me wonder how much of the design was finalized before they chose the VA. Although given they purposely went with an African American April this time, I guess they had Kat Graham in mind from the start?

Shark_Blade 01-02-2018 03:19 AM
It looks like she's gonna be a black girl?

Her clothes suck though, let's see her final design.

newfan 01-02-2018 03:22 AM
I'm glad the design isn't summer short looking, just want to see the turtles now.

Papenbrook 01-02-2018 03:48 AM
Wow! She looks ... really cute! ✰-✰

I'm already in love with it. :) I can't wait to see her final design.

I don't know. She looks a bit younger than 2k12 April.

I guess we'll see, though.

neatoman 01-02-2018 05:26 AM
My immediate thought was Clementine.

Sumac 01-02-2018 05:36 AM
Should have used Angel.

Otherwise, design is nice, but generic.

Papenbrook 01-02-2018 05:46 AM
What's with that stain on her jeans? :-?

Is it a temporary wardrobe choice (as in, a one episode/time thing) or is it a permanent clothing decision?

Utrommaniac 01-02-2018 05:50 AM
It's probably more like a gigantic tear in her jeans. From the overall way of the way she's dressed, I'd guess she's homeless/on the run/poor/from the bad side of town/all of the above, which would really give her a good excuse to hang around the turtles as frequently as she would in the new show.

Might as well do something that makes sense instead of dropping the ball as with 2012 April.

oh god, I hope not. Wouldn't that be a stereo type?

Carter came off from a well enough area of town that he could afford college and had no problem moving in with the turtles.

Candy Kappa 01-02-2018 06:52 AM
she looks cute, maybe a bit bland but that's probably the clothes' fault

I got the same vibe off the design, she a homeless kid and that's how she's tied to the Turtles.

plastroncafe 01-02-2018 10:00 AM
Loving the line work on that April pic.
And part of me hopes that comes from a storyline where she and the turtles are on the run.

Off the Grid runaway kids would certainly be neat hook.

sdp 01-02-2018 10:07 AM
This first look also gives us an idea of the art style the show will take and so far so good, I expected a "wackier" look with more cartoony proportions.

Kinda hope not. I mean we finally get a black April and they make her homelesss?

sdp 01-02-2018 10:15 AM
April being homeless is a great idea, if it's such a problem because she's black then they should've made her white as she is supposed to be.

Who wants to get that raincoat is yellow?

c.
I would've preferred that, and it would've been cool to have Angel be the girl who !sets the turtles instead of April, now that is an interesting change to the status quo. Changing the color of April's skin doesn't.

If she starts talking stereotypical black I'm gonna assume Cubed is one of the writers.

Chabrendeki 01-02-2018 10:33 AM
I don't think the "lighter" "comedic" show will present a homeless April. That would be too serious.

Could only be topped if she had a teen pregnancy and give birth to Angel.

I'm up for TMNT: Degrassi, this is 2018 , stop living in the past these things happen and kids need to know about them. Nothing wrong with pregnant single April.

plastroncafe 01-02-2018 10:39 AM
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really seeing that as a homeless look, so much as it is a hiking incognito one. She has a walking stick, imagine if she were a homeless kid in the city she might be a little more sports inclined, a la Casey.

Andrew NDB 01-02-2018 10:43 AM
Seems fine to me. If we are to go down the route of "Young April" again.

This is more what I had in mind when I wanted a young April, a 16 adventurous girl. The Nick 2012 version didn't work for me.

And young Casey should be 18 not younger so there's plausibility that he's a tough guy. 2012 was too young.

I just hope we don't always get a teen April from Nick... That would be a problem. Having two In a row is ok tho.

Cool, hopefully we will see the finished design soon.

Andrew NDB 01-02-2018 11:08 AM
How much you want to bet it's a yellow coat she's wearing? :roll:

If I come across as too confrontational and/or rude, then I apologize in advance.

Are you sure that is the accurate design of 2k18 April? Do you have any sources that certify your confirmation?

Like i said before, isn't that a stereo type that would be screamed down from the hills?

Is it? I don't think there's any more black homeless people than there are white ones, nor any stereotype to that end.

Yep. I wouldn't mind a show with no April.

BUT, that would be CREATIVE, now wouldn't it? sigh... I really hope this isn't the slow decent of turtles into main stream 'creativity' where in a few years it won't even resemble what we loved.

sdp 01-02-2018 12:08 PM
I wonder if we will get any more leaks soon before the reveal. This first leak gives me hope for the turtle designs; it's the art style I wanted for the 2012 show.

If anything, it looks like they won't be going all-out Teen Titans Go! on it.

Kind of a slight "Zelda: Wind Waker" thing going on there, though. No?

She looks good, I wonder if that is a tattoo on her left leg?

Btw, do you have the link to the twitter post?

Maybe it’s the same situation as Tip from Home. In Home all the Boov perform what they call a friendly take over and send all the humans in the world to Australia. And Tip was accidentally forgotten when she got separated from her mother.

So maybe April isn’t homeless in a runaway or abandoned sense, but more trying to find out what happened to her father following a Kraang invasion

Vegita-San 01-02-2018 12:26 PM
who just happens to be...

da da DAAAAAAA...

BAXTER STOCKMAN!

Now there's a twist.

That....would be kind of awesome!

Personally I assumed it was a hole in her jeans, and possibly just the style.






Was hoping for a return of adult April, that might have made her actually feel more like April (hopefully a more April feel will come later), but it's a cute design. She does look a bit younger yet.
