Also, these bear far stronger resemblances to real turtles than most interpretations we've seen, so I don't know what you're on about?

Exactly. And from what I can see of the action figures, they look to be HIGHLY detailed.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 01-30-2014, 05:36 PM

I dig them in all honesty. I'm surprised that they look as decent as they do.

You do know that film is not only a visual medium, but an audial medium as well, correct?

The Turtles' personalities are so different, as are their voices and speech types, that it would be nigh IMPOSSIBLE to confuse them in a film.

Even without the use of Bay's ******** stereotypes.

Not to mention the fact that a lot of the time these days, people general create the Turtles with different looks, such as varying heights, varying shades of green, different skin patterns, and so on.

Only if the audience was blind and deaf or the filmmakers screwed up the personalities of the Turtles so terribly would you not be able to tell who's who in a movie about them.

This is the only ninja turtle that should be monstrous..

I'm talking in-comparison to Transformers where you can't tell WTF is going on in the action scenes.

At least here, it'd be easier to tell!

*Powder* · 01-30-2014, 05:57 PM

Considering the maquette shots were being passed around back in August (as new photos, to my knowledge), and this "Ninja Turtles" logo is well over a year old, dating back to the scrapped script, AND has since been changed back to TMNT, I'd say this poster is maaad old. I'm hoping there's a better chance we'll see turtles closer in appearance to the scale models, rather than these guys.

Pretty confident you are correct and that they will be the maquette's especially since the poster shows blue and green eyes for all the turtles and I read somewhere that Raphael actually has brown eyes in the movie. We will find out soon I hope

If the Turtles are jumping around and fighting a bunch of black ops guys in ninja costumes, how would you even see the glasses?

I was able to tell who was who during fight scenes in the 2007 movie.

Because the Turtles were talking, and had different weapons.

These changes are completely unnecessary and ONLY serve to shove the Turtles' personalities in our faces, not as a means of "identification."

Kinda like Nick and Santolouco's and Campbell's work in the new IDW comics.

Haha, I love this! While the TMNT designs are far from perfect, I think they're a significant step up from what Transformers fans have had to deal with.

Didn't someone say this poster was from the German Toy Fair, where the film is still just Ninja Turtles?

I've read a few articles that stated that and I believe it was disogod who also said that yesterday, so I think its just wishful thinking on the part of everyone hoping to make changes to the final product.

*Rooish* · 01-30-2014, 08:12 PM

I wish none of the turtles had blue eyes. Why do they have to be white boys? How does that make sense?

I read somewhere that the eyes are brown now but who knows at this point.

Aaronardo · 01-30-2014, 09:08 PM

Aw, hell, no! NO. JUST... STOP. Thanks for ruining the public TMNT image, Michael Gay. Nonono, I don't even care! I don't even care if this movie is good or bad (which it probably WILL be...), I am NOT paying to watch this bull****! UGH! *bangs head against wall*

Yeah, that's how frustrated I am right now. I normally don't get in all a tizzy over designs, (change is actually welcome in my eyes), but this is freaking ridiculous! Again, thanks a lot, Michael. You little piece of ****.

Are you stupid? Anyone can have blue eyes. Even turtles.

I think John had a big part in it too, his movies tend to be going for the "edgy" image. At least that's the vibe I got.

I don't know if anyone tried this but I thought what the hell. Removing the nose holes and changing the lips can work wonders.
