What is your overall favorite look of the Ninja Turtles? - Page 2

Vi11AiN6 · 01-15-2013, 10:37 AM

They may be ace-bandages, they may even be dirty athletic tape! I like the design and for anyone who's ever done full contact martial arts and a lot of climbing you will at some point need a bandage for support on a tender ligament.
The turtles being Ninja's and training/fighting everyday we could only assume extra support on their limbs.

As far as the worst Turtles it's gotta be Next Mutation, they were super clunky and their features looked like Chucky Cheese animatronic band.

I personally like how Nick went close in design with 2007 TMNT.
I like the lidless turtles for action scenes and pupils for dialogues.

Comic TMNT = Kevin Eastman !!!!!!
Look at his covers, the classics and the 2012 Annual!
Am I the only one who would like to see that in color?

I voted for the first Film but I also love Original Toon and Michael Dooney.

*Zulithe* · 01-15-2013, 12:51 PM

I really can't believe how many people are picking the 2007 movie... I can't stand looking at it anymore. They look like frogs not turtles to me in that film. Except for the shells, of course.

what doesn't suprise me is 3rd Live Action film with 0 votes

*Powder* · 01-15-2013, 03:54 PM

Voted for the first movie. To me, they're the best. But versions of the Mirage turtles (including volume 3) as well as the Nick turtles come really really close.

*Redeemer* · 01-15-2013, 05:03 PM

voted for the 2k3 versions season 1-5 its just my favorite look for them, but I have to admit that the Nick turtles look the most "teenage" like as everyone else says.

I enjoy the Ben Bates IDW turtles as well. They're tied for second with the first movie for me.

*Drose18* · 01-15-2013, 05:56 PM

The nick cartoon except don just looks wrong and leo needs a few changes.

Red-eyed Jaguar · 01-15-2013, 06:25 PM

Hmm..I went for the OT Turtles. Not only for Nostalgia reasons.. I kinda like the Fact that they may look cute, but still can wipe the Floor with you if they want to.

Mirage Comic-look (while it needs to get used to, it does have something) and Nick in close second.

*Icebot* · 01-15-2013, 06:28 PM

I voted for 2003 turtles. My choice came very close with the 80's turtles. I like the darker animation for them for the Red Sky episodes and for seasons 1 to 5 of the 2003 show. I think they look cool when they're tall so I chose the 2003 turtles, plus the darker animation was used for most of the show.

*pannoni1* · 01-15-2013, 07:53 PM

With the first movie, 2007 movie, Mirage comics, and all three cartoons having significant competition, it proves that the TMNT brand is well-diversified which has lead to long-term success. But the OT Fred Wolf Turtles will always be home to me, since it is clearly the incarnation I have gotten the most out of and understand the best, and this includes all of the tie-ins. I still get nostalgic for the belt initials and always preferred a pudgier shape like a non-mutated Turtle.

tmntpower1988 · 01-15-2013, 08:30 PM

2k3 Turtles for me.

1/2Shell · 01-15-2013, 08:52 PM

Mirage Comics

RiseAbove873 · 01-15-2013, 10:50 PM

Wow. I'm surprised so many think the Nick Turtles look the best. If anything, I would have thought they would come in last, or at least near the bottom.

DonatelloDomeHead31 · 01-16-2013, 10:44 AM

Boy...this was a tough vote, but I chose the 1st Live Action movie because I enjoyed how the scenes capturing them fighting.

Don't get me wrong, I like the 80s style too. but as i watched the series, the colors became too bright for me. sometimes, Raph's red banana turned orange (TV error I guess).

bmxbandit · 01-16-2013, 12:22 PM

can't beat the original toon version as thats what i grew up with and saw the most of. i was always a huge fan of the archie comic look though.

*Luzmagica* · 01-16-2013, 01:48 PM

.....*Cant stop playing, but must eat pizza.....Cant stop playing...must eat pizza**** Arrrrghhh!!!!

I vote for 3 multiple polls!!!!!: Movies , Cartoons and Animation ...even with that ..... I feel like Michelangelo!!!! *Cant stop playing, but must eat pizza.....Cant stop playing...must eat pizza****

I feel a special

for All type of draw cartoons, animation Nick show and 2007 movie, and Movie I look.

Nick turtles, definitely. They actually look like teenagers. I also like how they all have very immediate and distinct body shapes. If you were to silhouette them, sans weapons, you could easily tell them apart. I'm also a fan of their block-y musculature; it reminds me of reptiles (dinosaurs, really). That, combined with their odd proportions gives them an anatomy that isn't completely humanoid in form, which is refreshing.

My second place goes to the First Movie turtles, on the basis of kicking ass. I dunno, can't describe it. They're just awesome.

*Oculus Orbus* · 01-16-2013, 05:58 PM

The first E&L issues, my fondest TMNT memories are there. I also love A.C. Farley's style, and overall I prefer the different comic looks over the cartoons.

The Nick toys are pretty amazing too.
