Leonardo - Light Green

Raphael - Dark Green

Michelangelo - Teal

With the skin color they don't have to wear there masks all the time to know who they are.

I agree. In the show you can seperate them with:
* Weapons
* Skin colors
* Voices

So it isn't that important to have different mask colors...

In the few Mirage comics I've read I couldn't tell the Turltes apart sometimes. Of course, it's in black and white, so the mask colors didn't matter anyways. I guess skin color could always be the way to go. On a side note, does anyone know what started the trand of different colored Turtle skin? I've always known the toys being usually colored like this:

Raphael: normal Green/Light Green
Leonardo: "Olive" Green
Michaelangelo: "Forest" Green
Donatello: Brownish-Green

I do have the Genesis game where you have the option to color them in Anime or Comic style with Comic style being the multi-colored version. Personally, I think either or is fine, I'm just curious as to where this trend started.

**Karpo_007** · 05-23-2003, 07:18 AM

Yeah there are times when you can't tell them apart. You need some dialogue to recognize them.

*Jephael* · 05-23-2003, 09:06 AM

Shh... you'll get the fangirls all excited.

I thought ALL Turtle Fans knew that.
even though, they changed it a lil' bit for the knew cartoon.

Mikey usually was known to have the darkest skin, but now Raph does... if you see what I mean.

**HorseTechie** · 05-23-2003, 11:57 AM

Heh.. yeah. Raph's the dark green one, and Leo's the lighter green now.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-23-2003, 12:48 PM

If they employed different skin colors, different shell colors and, different shell patterns. And, if they bothered to make sure that Leo has two thin straps on his belt, Don has one thick strap on his belt, Raph has metal "sai holders" on his belt and occasionally doesn't wear his mask. Then, different mask colors would be just plain redundant!

Also, the action figures can include their tattoos and the new cartoon could've had them each wear a small ribbon of their signature color somewhere on their belt.

I'll draw some fan art like this and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah I was under that impression as well...
Didn't Raph and Mike switch skin tones in the new series?

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-23-2003, 07:53 PM

Ok Here it is:
http://www.geocities.com/tetsudeinon...edMaskBaby.jpg
I'm willing to bet that with all the variations used in this pic you can easily tell which one is which even with all the masks being red.
Also, here is what the shells look like:
http://www.geocities.com/tetsudeinonychus/ShellZ.jpg

With all the variations in the first pic plus these shells, plus Raph occasionally not wearing his mask, plus mike occasionally wearing shades, plus their tattoos maybe being added later, there is really no need for the multi-colored masks.

If these links don't work then delete ".jpg" from the address bar and hit "Go"

*Jephael* · 05-24-2003, 07:55 AM

Cool pic! The shoulder straps definitly help us tell Don and Leo apart from the group, but Mike and Raph have always been the trickiest. You really need to go by their facial expressions there.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-24-2003, 10:57 AM

And Raph's metal sai holders.

Ninja Tiptup · 05-24-2003, 06:31 PM

I'm rather partial to the natural colored green that all the TMNT were in the original coloring of Mirage Volume 1 Issue 1. They all have red (brownish red acutally) but you can still tell them apart by characteristics.

I think that the different colored skins with the red masks don't look quite right. Nice designs though. Different shells would indicate that they are actually different species of turtles. Which would be interesting, but not as traditional as I would like.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-24-2003, 07:41 PM

That wouldn't make them any less brothers. Splinter's not even a Turtle and He's their loving father-figure.

InsaneZane · 05-24-2003, 08:01 PM

tattoos arnt the turtles' style... they wouldnt do it

as far as straps:
Leo- double -X- straps
Don- suspender type -I I- straps
Raph- single slant -/- strap
Mike- none

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-24-2003, 08:18 PM

They have Tattoos in recent issues of the Mirage comics.

*Dane E5R* · 05-24-2003, 08:32 PM

Raphael would not need a strap.
