Live Action Turtle Designs: Barron's '90 Turtles v.s. '91 SOTO Turtles

I prefer the first movie myself for all the reasons chucker mentioned. They were grimey and dirty with noticable battle scars and even different body types. Those designs had little nuances and details that helped sell the idea that these guys were real and had been around for 15 years living in a sewer. For the sequel they literally cleaned them up to make them more kid friendly along with everything else in the movie. While i do agree the new suits functioned better i wish they couldve kept some of the original design because it made them look more like living creatures with a history.
