Digging their designs, and looks like their weapons will be their pickaxes of course. Hopefully they release soon.

Peter Griffin: Holy Crap! It's the Ninja Turtles! Say the thing!
Mike: What thing?
Peter Griffin: You know the thing!
Mike: Uh... Cowabunga?
Peter Griffin: No!
Mike: ... Boyahkasha?
Peter Griffin: No, like the joke, your famous joke!
Mike: ... Uh... "One Ice Cream and Sashimi Pizza please"?
Peter Griffin: Ehehehehehehehehe! Yeah that's the one, two thing that don't belong on a pizza is the funniest running gag ever, I can't get sick of it ever and I don't see anyone else ever doing so. It's almost as good as the time I heard the word.
Mike: What word?

I play hundreds of games every year and have been playing videogames since 1987, and to this day I have no idea what Fortnite even is.

NEVER played fortnite in my life. But I really love the four turtles and april designs for this game. I think I will finally cave and download it, maybe buy the bundle that has the turtles. might get april too

Sumac 12-07-2023 04:21 AM

Interesting.
Fortnite becomes Super Smash Bros, but for the pop-culture.

I've played it for maybe 30 minutes Couldn't figure out what to do, someone killed me and I uninstalled the game. Speaks volumes about how much interest I had in it, in the first place, LOL.

So, my playtime in this game was extremely brief. I have no idea what exactly is this game nowadays and honestly don't care, but glad for people who like it.

As for TMNT designs - funny, but they look almost like updated Next Mutation designs (from the concept arts, not a series proper). Also, now that's April! Accept no substitutes as they say.

Zulithe 12-07-2023 04:35 AM

Look how easy it is to make turtle and april designs that look both authentic and yet still fresh and new. if only more attempts to 'modernize' the turtles would take such an approach.

Now I'm also wondering if any companies can or will make toy versions of the fortnite turtles.

Yeah it would be a big missed opportunity to not make figures of these.


A look at some of the new Lego skins revealed the turtles will be included there as well: https://x.com/ifiremonkey/status/173...QHsTg5iVRVyQxw

Sumac 12-07-2023 06:36 AM

Does it mean Lego once again has rights for TMNT and not Megablocks or whoever had them for the last few years?

Nah, modern creators are so brimming with creativity, they need to butcher all design and raceswap characters. Otherwise no-one will remember them. At least, that's what they think.

Also, I like this younger take on FW April

UPD:

There is definitely a similarity.
Like a combination of designs from Next Mutation (white bands, lots of belts and bandanna on Raph), movies (general bodyshape) and 2k7 movie (headshape) and 2k3 (colors and Mikey expression)

CyberCubed 12-07-2023 05:13 PM

I don't understand these Fortnite skins. Are they just as they seem, skins for the playable character (costumes?), but they're only offered for sale a limited time and then they disappear?

Zulithe 12-07-2023 05:17 PM

Downloaded and played Fortnite for the first time today on my PS5. I suck, but it's pretty fun. I still don't really understand how the skins work. Do I need battle pass to get the turtles? Anyway, excited for them to drop.

That’s basically it, they aren’t part of a Battle Pass.

Unless theyre tied to the battle pass, no. Theyll drop and be available for a few days then the skins rotate to the next one.

Zulithe 12-08-2023 07:11 PM

A lot of vids are now appearing of the new skins.



I think they look really awesome.

Oh and it's Fortnite so, of course, dancing:


The Deadman 12-08-2023 09:23 PM

Theyre eligible for Fortnite Racing? Im in.

CyberCubed 12-08-2023 11:15 PM

I do not like seeing the Turtles use guns.

Sumac 12-09-2023 01:03 AM

Yeah, Turtles with guns are weird.
Also, they are so tall in this version. I got used to them being shorter and "buffer", if it makes sense.

But overall looks pretty cool, even if I am not fan of a bandanna on Raph.

I don't love it but on rare occasion it's okay. Not like it's the very first time or anything

It's part of being in Fortnite sadly. I mean... Batman doesn't use guns but he does in Fortnite, lol.

RaphaelinSTL 12-09-2023 12:42 PM

Got a good friend of mine who has been trying to get me to jump into Fortnite for awhile, and I thought I'd check it out with the Turtles ... but still not a fan of Raphael in the full bandanna look when no one else has it. Oh well.

CyberCubed 12-10-2023 11:07 AM

I'm really surprised DC, Marvel, etc are ok with their characters being shown using guns in Fortnite. Like Batman or Spider-man, it feels so off-brand.

Sumac 12-10-2023 12:15 PM

Publicity and money make wonders.

DC released a comic explaining Batman knows he’s in some kind of virtual reality and he’s not actually killing anyone, haha.

BlueKatana 12-14-2023 04:47 AM

Looks like they are supposed to be coming out today!

Just looked around for some news, yeah they should drop at 7pm eastern tonight apparently

Zulithe 12-14-2023 09:43 PM

Four Turtles bundle and April acquired. They weren't really that expensive. I play gacha games and they try to extort you for tons of money. This was reasonable in comparison lol. Considering you get the LEGO versions and can use the turtles in a variety of game modes both present and future (since they keep coming up with new ones), not bad.

oldmanwinters 12-15-2023 01:46 PM

I swear the game ripped the inspiration for the April skin from a 2019 cosplay shoot:

Zulithe 12-17-2023 11:54 PM

Aight, so played Fortnite with a buddy for something like 20 total hours this weekend :lol: He bought Mikey before he even knew I bought the four turtle bundle. I mostly played as Raph, switched to Leo a few times. Then we jumped in with another friend and he had Don... so we were 3 turtles of the four... did pretty good in no build, played a lot of LEGO Fortnite too.

I'm late as hell to this game but hey, it's fun :lol:

Zulithe 12-26-2023 03:53 AM

I'm not sure when the turtles will be leaving the shop, but they probably don't have a lot of time left. Just a reminder for anyone who might be interested.

Reading around in various tmnt and fortnite communities, the response to these has been overwhelmingly positive. Hope we get more TMNT characters.

Oh yeah, and my battle pass is currently lvl 118 if that gives you any idea how much I've been playing this month

Zulithe 12-26-2023 11:36 PM

Updating: turtles are now gone from fortnite shop.

I'm sure someone will post if they rerun down the road.

Zulithe 01-23-2024 03:53 AM

Shredder confirmed for Fortnite. Here is his design

http://i.imgur.com/rQ7peJHh.png

Sumac 01-24-2024 09:32 AM

Ugh.
Why?

They went with relatively good TMNT designs and used most stupid Shredder design?

Zulithe 02-07-2024 04:36 AM

Splinter in Fortnite https://twitter.com/HYPEX/status/1755163322972766550

Shredder and Super Shredder https://twitter.com/HYPEX/status/1755163459376013431

There's lots of neat things coming in this week's update. Including a turtle blimp glider, a krang backbling, pizza box backbling, shredder capes, various emotes, some loading screens including one with new art by kevin eastman

RaphaelinSTL 02-07-2024 09:02 AM

That Shredder looks great!

I'd be more inclided to play if they let you update the way they look a little bit. Is there ever a chance you think they update Raph to have a less full covered bandanna in the future? I love how he looks in that "drop" or whaever it is, haha.

TigerClaw 02-07-2024 10:14 AM

One of the loading screens is done by Kevin Eastman.

There’s a lot of stiff coming via a TMNT Battle Pass including a Turtle Blimp glider!

Sumac 02-07-2024 09:44 PM

Splinter looks elongated.
Regular Shredder is pretty cool and based on IDW.
Super Shredder still a major "EH". In general, I don't like Shredders in all iron armor.

Zulithe 02-08-2024 09:48 AM

LEGO Splinter form confirmed
