Don't have a source, but I support your claim. I always thought it was screwy that they had more digits on their hands than their feet, and figured out that they have feet comparitive to birds in the Mirage source material. Seems I recall Pete confirming it somewhere too (probably in one of his Blast From The Past posts that had been on NinjaTurtles.com).

yeah, I think it's in the How to Draw TMNT book. Published by Solson, got it back home in Norway.

The turtles apparently also had retractable claws in their initial designs.

I like the toe-heel, it's very nightcrawler-ish

It'd be nice to see all 3 series owned by the same company.

You got to sit in on a table read....with ROB PAULSEN!!!

The drawings look fantastic! They have an old school Mirage Studios / Frank Miller vibe!

Thanks for clearing that up, Rose.

What an awesome event for you guys to have access too

What I am most curious about was the Q&A portion of the trip. Are you allowed to talk about the types of questions they asked you and the replies you gave?

Also, if you have the time (and legality) to describe some of the pilot episode, or even the general direction this series is headed, it would make my day!

*Ninjinister* · 03-30-2011, 08:26 PM

Wait, so tmntmaster is the official Nickelodeon Twitter? Or did I get that wrong and that's a fan's watermark?

**Jester** · 03-30-2011, 08:27 PM

I kinda wonder how diffrent from Raphael Rob played Donatello.

Wow, Rose, I don't think I've heard you be optimistic about the TMNT's future for years!

That flash drive also sounds pretty cool.

I am so horribly sad to say that everything I witnessed today as far as content (with the exception of the voices) made me sick to my stomach it was like witnessing my worst paranoid fears come to life this went from being magical to disgusting. Some of you will say "awww come on joe it wasn't that bad" and to you I say "keep on allowing yourself to call yourself a turtle fan you weak willed sheep" I spoke up for the turtles today if nickelodeon decides to ignore me and a couple of others that's fine but at least we put up a fight

Sounds like you gave them their money's worth, Joe.

Until severe changes are made I refuse to support this version of tmnt in any way shape or form

If you no longer want to keep your souvenirs, I'll be happy to give them a good home!

JoeGro · 03-30-2011, 09:10 PM

However with my vicious onslaught of a post I would still like to thank nickolodeon for allowing me to speak my mind directly and for having me out on their dime a ballsy move on their part now the question is do they have the balls to take it into consideration or lose any respect I have left by continuing this abomination as is the ball is in your court nick you are all severely nice people but you are ruining one of the only things I hold dear

Huh. I didn't know you were so displeased when you left. I mean, to each their own opinion obviously, I guess I just didn't get that vibe off you.

**Jester** · 03-30-2011, 09:17 PM

Wow, Joe. You're the one dissent. Now I'm concerned.

Descent...to be the lone voice of distaste.

I suck at spelling.

JoeGro · 03-30-2011, 09:27 PM

I really really really tried to be okay with it mostly because of the people involved but you can keep pouring sugar on a turf and its still a turf. I love you to death stefan bit you know there was much left to be desired with this thing. Im not going to settle with this one im not about to see the turtles be changed into some sort of hideous butt baby like the transformers were.

JoeGro · 03-30-2011, 09:30 PM

That's suppose to say turd not turf stupid spell correct
