What is your overall favorite look of the Ninja Turtles? - Page 3

Vegeta · 01-17-2013, 04:00 AM

Still don't know how anyone can possibly pick the nick designs or the awful 07 film. I guess I like drawings/paintings and comics much more than the clunky looking cg stuff. Mirage volume 1 (the first few issues) would be my favorite. I also really like dooney's stuff, but the covers for volume 4 just aren't my cup of tea for the most part. Overall though, kevin eastman's turtles are just so awesome. All the idw covers he does make me pretty happy.

It's a toss up between:

Mirage comics - particularly Eastman/Laird, Lawson and Dooney (due to Dooney, by extension the 2K3 series).
&
Movie 1 - considering the age of this movie, they nailed it.

For a more angular look: Nick and Fast Forward.

I'm not suprised the 80s cartoon is winning.

The Mirage Vol 1 is what I voted for and I'm a fan of the new nick ones too. I think it's because they are quite the opposite that the two appeal to me so.

this was a tough poll for me...as a kid I didn't even know about Mirage or the comics, the OT and playmates toys is what got me hooked on the turtles then the 1990 Movie took it to a whole new level for me. Now as an adult those first few issues with Laird and Eastman, I don't know if you can top that look, but in the end I had to go with Movie 1.

My thoughts exactly. I didn't know about the comics either but movie 1 still resonates with me. The costumes were legit and still are imo haha.

psyrusly · 01-22-2013, 07:02 AM

Voted for Mirage version, specifically A.C. Farley's rendition.

psyrusly · 01-22-2013, 07:19 AM

If we have a tread for favorite unofficial art / fan art, my pick would be Manuhell's redesign: http://cghub.com/images/view/89461/

*chrisdude* · 01-22-2013, 10:32 AM

I don't remember voting in this poll, but it says I already have. Out of these choices, I know I would've picked TMNT 2007.

But the IDW comics, at the beginning. I opened up the first issue and said, "These are the coolest looking turtles I've ever seen." I haven't liked Eastman's covers, though I feel that must be some kind of sacrilege...

I LOVE THE 80's cartoon show!!

*snake* · 01-22-2013, 01:13 PM

I picked original tv show turtles because its the look that everyone knows and my favorite, plus that's what brought the turtles to fame! Think about it if there was no 1988 series there would probably be no IDW or nick series. (I also was going to pick mirage at first but I decided not to.)

darthsmozers · 01-22-2013, 08:23 PM

Chris Allan's TMNT all the wayyyyyy!

Archie Version

Mirage Version

*shuriken* · 01-23-2013, 07:42 PM

love the look and atmosphere of the first movie. They look like grimy mutant turtles that live in the sewers.

*Donnie* · 01-23-2013, 10:31 PM

First live action movie, hands down. Hell, I have had dreams about those exact Turtles (once I dreamt of a modified City at War episode...so awesome...) in dark, brooding scenes in tone of the first movie. Basically, I wish the creative team behind #1 made a bunch of hour episodes of Mirage arcs. Could you imagine?!

Anyway, yep, movie #1.
