TMNT 2014 movie **OFFICIAL THREAD**

[Teal Turtle]

Just curious, who was the person who actually saw the toys from the movie?

[Hero]

Very early and ambitious thread this. Not a lot has been revealed for the movie itself, let alone any tie-in products.

I'm hoping by the end of the year we'll get to see the character designs for the Turtles themselves, and at that point can imagine what the toys might be like.

I'm thinking movie first and that itself has been put back another 2 months.

Yes but some people have already seen the toys so hopefully they will leak soon.

Some people? I thought it was 'a person' who saw them

In no rush to see these since it will be a long way off before they hit the shelves. There is so much other stuff about to be unleashed before the year is out anyway.

Unless I missed something, nobody... and no, that's not the username of the person, I'm saying that there wasn't anybody who saw the toys. Where would they have anyways?

Got any evidence to back this statement up? This is the first I've read of anyone supposedly getting a glimpse at the new movie's toy line.

So far, from everything I've read, some things seem to be consistent:

POTENTIAL SPOILERS\ though only rumors as far as I know:

Spoiler:

They look more human than turtle
They have some form of bamboo Armour
They all look different from one another
They are bulky and very muscular
They are larger than 6 feet
They carry more weapons than just their classic weapons
One turtle may wear pants.

Some of that I think is based on the look of the toys.

I remember reading the supposed description of how the Turtles will look in the movie itself, but I don't recall there being any mention of the person giving said description mentioning seeing any toys.

The movie versions of the toys tend to have more weapons and items then what you see in the movie. They just give the toys more weapons to carry just to make them look more flashy. And also take into account, Movie versions of those toys dont tend to be 100% movie accurate.

Props to Powder for the info.

Have faith my friend.

Hi there, this is my first post (and english is not my native language...). Anyway, I was watching this video about toys when I had a little surprise. Look at 2:50 and 3:54 and tell what do you think about those sculptures

[Powder]

They're dope but they have nothing to do with this film. That dude is an independent artist who's been working on a very limited run of Movie 1 Raphael statues. It was posted many months ago.

[Teal Turtle]

I hope we see some type of toy by the end of the year.

I'd like to, but I've been let down by Playmates far too many times over the last 20 years.

At least if I stay ultra-negative on everything, I might be surprised. After all, a pessimist is never disappointed...

The turtles are going to look very different. I can not wait to see whats in store!

I honestly would have liked to see the turtles done up like in the original movies. I think today's technology could have made some even better versions of the life-size puppet heads and stuff the originals had.

Of course, this is my inner fanboy of 80s/early 90s animatronic stuff from horror and sci-fi movies talking... I've just never been a huge fan of CG being used for everything as effects. It can be good, or it can be bad.

I have faith the turtles will look amazing.

CGI, Live Action, or 2D, it comes down to the basic style that would result in such merchandise. That said, I'd like to see the toys for the movie a couple months before release to build up the excitement, with a second wave released just after the movie gets released. Expect it to be no different than recent releases, such as TMNT 2007, The Dark Night movies, Transformers, etc. My biggest wish would be to see a playset or two pertaining to the movie unlike the previous TMNT movies to make it feel more complete.
