What do you think the turtles will look like?

[bridgegrn]

Would be a fun way to bring in the 'red mask' aspect too. Have each turtle take off their masks and reveal the markings of a red eared slider on their faces.

First of all, nothing is stolen. It's called paying tribute. Secondly, it's Bruce Lee's outfit, which Kill Bill did an homage to.

I like that above one a lot. Where's that from?

That's the movie Bruce Lee died before they could finish the film, And then they hired another actor who sort of looked liked him to finish the rest of the film.

Agreed, absolutely! I personally prefer them as red-ears anyway, since it IS the most common "pet" turtle species. And they just look so beautiful- and everyone knows Mikey is "the pretty one", so he MUST be a slider, LOL!

Nothing wrong with that. They SHOULD look like a "real" turtle, shouldn't they?

Or maybe diamondbacks.

Either one would be pretty cool, but Diamondbacks have a higher-domed shell, and I prefer the sleeker and less bulky-looking shell of a Slider for them. It makes more sense for ninjas.

It keeps the overall look and shape of the turtles we know that still looks realistic enough to be a mutation.

Every other one Ive come across look like ugly monsters or are too human looking.

Not all of them are ugly. I've come across some that are actually rather interesting and not at all ugly or too-human. But yes, they really SHOULD look realistic.

I liked all three of those, especially the painted bust. It made me smile to see those little red markings sticking out from under his bandana.

Haha I'm just saying

I've seen the models for the Bay Turtles. They're nothing like the realistic Mirage Leo head posted earlier. However, I have a hunch that Mateus Santolouco has seen them too -- his artwork is reminiscent of what I saw. Raph has a full-head bandanna cover. Donnie has similar gear, though I don't recall seeing the Chinaman hat. Mikey has athletic pants. Their shells are raised and awfully big.

These new Turtles aren't going to look much like the TMNT we're used to. Some people like that idea, others don't. I'll admit, I was impressed with what I saw.

What about there facial features

True, I mentioned Diamondback due to Donnie in the Nick show theorized that they might be that, although, they could just ask Splinter in that incarnation.


I really liked that they gave the turtles proper markings on their skin in the Out of the Shadows game, the game might be lacking, but. Those designs are quickly growing to be among my favorites.

How did you see them? Any other tidbits you can share?

[turtlefanforever]

How'd you see that?

I got lucky by coming into contact with a person who worked on set. I'm looking at the pictures as we speak so here it goes. Looking at Leo, MS's design DEFINITELY echoes the movie version. In the Bay movie, Leo has a Japanese-styled outfit similar to the one shown here. But his face isn't covered like that. In the Bay film, Leo's plastron is covered by a bamboo chestguard, rather than just a cloth outfit.

Donatello is wearing headgear -- goggles, from what I can tell. He also has a strange machine strapped to his back. :/

They do look more Turtle-like. More realistic than the older films, more detailed.

The main thing about these Turtles, that stands out for me, is that they're all different. They all have unique gear and bandanna designs. Gone are the days when the Turtles were only distinguished by colored bandannas and various belt designs.
