It was assumed, since 4' tall Woodburn is portraying him.

More on descriptions coming out of the London Toy Fair (happening right now):

"TMNT movie sets will be Turtle Van Takedown, Big Rig Snow Getaway, Turtle Lair New figs: Leatherhead, Spiderbytez, Kirby Bat, Karai (movie and show versions). Differently styled Turtles in the movie sets, much darker. Splinter has short legs."

Splinter should always be short

But I guess that could be odd. Who knows, we'll see when the movie comes out. These descriptions aren't really doing it for me.

If Splinter has short legs, Will he still be agile? I mean capable of fighting? I have a feeling he will be kind of like Yoda, when he was was lightsaber fighting in the star wars prequels.

Splinter would probably be jumping around using a cane as a weapon and swinging at enemies.

Splinter never really fights though.

When he fights most of the time it's shredder. But he mainly never fights. He'll fight if the turtles are in grave danger. But that is rare occasion.

He fights way more than you claim, in the Mirage & Archie comics, OT, 4kids series, Nick series, etc. He's relatively active.

I'm just frustrated that the London Toyfair is on right now with the TMNT movie figures and no one has snagged a photo of them? Come on people! There are pics and videos popping up of other things from the same fair... why not TMNT?!

I second that, has there actually been any kind of confirmation that the fair would have turtles from the movie, or are we just hoping?

I don't know, but "Big Rig Snow Getaway" does sound an awful lot like the chase scene filmed on the old snow fields in the upcoming movie.

They note two Karai's

EDIT_____________

Bummer, guys. I asked the author of that Brick Fanatics article, and he said there was no photography allowed...

I've already seen photos people have taken. In this day and age you really can't stop people.
