Should the Turtles be redesigned for the sequel?

While they probably can't change the designs too much in order to remain in continuity, do you think they can alter some things? Drop the glasses for Donatello entirely, remove some of their human accessories, and phase out the nostrils at the least. They would still be 6 foot tall Hulk ripoffs, but at least some of the more offensive stuff would be gone.

Raphael:
Remove those sunglasses on Raphaels head.
Like why are they there all the time and why dont they fall off during the battle? Him being bigger and bulkier with a different worn bandana is cool enough. The sunglasses on his bandana are overkill and make me take his look less serious (in a bad way).

Leonardo:
Fine.

Michaelangelo:
Remove the sunglasses that hang on his neck.
Same reason of taking him less serious as with Raphael.
Why would you have those hang around your neck as a ninja in battle anyway.
I dont mind that other necklace. It gives a bit of a hawai surfer vibe that fits him.

Donatello:
Personally I like him having glasses.
He has to much technostuff on his back though. Seems very impractical while fighting and it looks to me that its to easy to break by enemies.
The fact that he takes techno stuff with him is fine though.
Just tune the size he carries on his back down a bit or make it more practical for battle somehow.

The turtles:
I dont mind them being a bit hulky.
They are turtles after all, with a big shell on their back and such.
In most incarnations, they have muscles, so that I didnt mind.
Seems difficult to wear a big turtle shell if you are some tiny skinny dude .

I welcome it that they wear pants.
Keep those.
