PLEASE have that be the ones in the movie. THOSE are actually really good! **** the poster's ones! If they don't use these, I will EXPLODE!

Explode.

I'm actually hoping that they stick with those designs. To Hell with trying to make it look realistic, just make it fun.

I like how the new members are the ones praising the poster. I can't help but wonder if they're not casual fans who've returned the property after god knows how long and thus aren't invested enough to care.

Coincidence?

It's a shame that there are a few that think unless you've been registered on the forum for years or made 1000's of posts, you're opinion doesn't count, or you've "been out of the loop".

Yes you're all experienced Technodrome forumers. I am not.

However I'm an experienced TMNT fan who still follows what's going on, to an extent.

My original point that probably got lost was that I was genuinely surprised at how much people are hating on these designs. When I look at the poster, for example, I can't help but see anything other then something that resembles almost to the dot the TMNT as we know them. How the designs can be hated so much is beyond me. But then we're all entitled to an opinion.

Anyway...don't mean to step on anyone's toes or upset anyone so maybe I'll keep my head down on here for a bit...

I only have like 30 posts and I can honestly say I've never felt disrespected or degraded because of lack of posts although I tend to just soak up all the info from people who have a lot of posts.

[CowabungaMikey]

Yup, that's the Technodrome for you. It's like high school, the bigger ones bullying on the smaller people.

I showed the "figure" designs to my student's the other day and they were quite perplexed but intrigued at the same time. They seemed anxious to see the film after seeing the designs.

They are elementary school kids and dealt with it fine. Weren't people saying an eight year old child cried at the sight of these designs? That seem's incredibly ridiculous and is definitely an issue with the child more so than the designs.

Yep. They don't look "scary" at all. Maybe in that poster Raphael looks a bit on the brutal side, but definitely not frightening.

Hell Raphael aint even half as accesorized or as hulking in the first movie, and the scream when he realizes Splinter is captured is damn near one of the most chilling scenes I've ever seen in the Turtle medium

Most of the reason, for me anyway is that they look too human. Raph's face looks bad with Mikey easily being the worst. I'm sure the reason behind their choice for facial features comes from them wanting to capture the look of the actors which really isn't necessary if it results in a look that's less than desirable. if all you saw were their faces without bandanas, you'd swear they were from a new Shrek movie. It's not the most horrible thing I've seen but they could have put way more effort into making them look like turtles.

No need to keep your head down bro this is a forum after all and its purpose is for fans to express their opinions. We don't all need to agree on everything we're here to talk about what we like and dislike with other fans. That being said I'm not too big a fan of the designs. Yes they resemble the turtles as we know them but wrapped in a lot of unnessesary. Its like spidermans costume in the first amazing spiderman change for the sake of change. At best its someones attempt to flex their artistic muscle and at worse its shameless corporate pandering. I can only hope that some of this gear actully serves some purpose beyond just having the characters wear their identitys on their sleeves so to speak.

They'll get used to you soon enough just stick around. For the most part we're all here for the same reason.

Quiet, I like the poster just fine.

[CyberCubed]

Casuals like the designs, I am not surprised .

I concur!

While I might be "new" to the forum, I am totally not new to TMNT. I've been a lifelong fan who spent the majority of my childhood and early adulthood worshiping them to the point of annoyance the part of my friends and family. At one point I was active in 32 groups - half of them RPGS. Many with other members from this forum.

What happened? Life, my darling. Life happens. I went to college, got married, bought a house, began a homestead, am now going through grad school, have a two year old son, am active in local politics, and am working on a grassroots campaign here in my lovely state.

Things get a bit busy when you have a life outside of the internet.

Seriously? That's how we're going to start dismissing the opinions that don't mirror our own? So we've cut right over the notion of "plants" and "shills" and have cut straight to demanding geek credentials. Cripes that's pathetic.

The things geeks feel they have to do to make themselves feel tall.

right? that's the type of things that can get old quick when it come to some fan boards. We're all TMNT fans, Mirage, Nick, IGN, and even this upcoming movie.They're is really no difference between us.

As for the design while I'm not totally crazy about it looks pretty decent and got me a little hopeful on how it will look in motion in a trailer or full screen.
