They're not perfect but I voted good. That leo close up shot of the maquette is a thing of beauty. I believe the maquettes are a closer representation, I have a feeling that the poster is old as sin and they will have been edited since. nothing looks great when all the colours have been over saturated to stand out on a poster

Those toys are a bit crappy because they are cheap sculpts/casts for kids, and are not a good source of judgement. You can tell the paint apps are lazy, they are unfinished, and although the finals won't be much better, its still not a great representation. who knows, if the film is a success we may get high end "collector" versions.

Nostrils make sense, it may not be what you want, but not only are noses a great source of expression we really have no idea how these things will look when in motion. Taking a stylised cartoon and making a "real world" analog is impossible, especially when the current ninja turtle cartoon is very stylised. If you set a film in our reality, it makes sense to try and create something that could exist. So yeah, I am behind the designs.

I say give the film a chance. don't waste hours of your life being angry about this stuff, you can sh11t all over it when you've seen it.
