Uh, no.

These are the 'Promo Arts' from the mock designs in those early days where the film was still called "Ninja Turtles" - Since then, the name has changed as well as some design differences that were noticeable on the set which features ACTUAL Models of what the Turtles look like.

So in actuality, rather than that random Promo poster at some Toy Fair, THIS is the current look being portrayed in the movie:

And I lost hope in this movie again.

Yes but those turtle designs will.

It's not like anyone is compaining about the font or the background composition. It's those awful turtles.

Getting a "John Carter of Mars" vibe from the marketing...
The render looks about as realistic as the smurfs, which is to say, not at all.

I promise you the turtles in the film(the final design) will look better have you ever seen early mock up designs, concepts? They have been tweaked since this photo I'm sure.

if anything they're way older then the Marquettes we have seen. Seriously Guys you really know how to over react. This was meant as a basic of basic visuals for venders to know basic look and feel Not final production valued visuals. and the designs as with anything CGI will probably constantly go through changes till the date they are release to be distributed.

So your saying that that doesn't look realistic??? John carter was great BTW nothing compared to the books but great non the less

[plastroncafe]

Thus is the wonder of CG.
If something doesn't play well, we can always code it differently.

Something that's far less possible with say...traditional puppetry/animatronics.

Wouldn't the opposite be more likely? I'd think the maquettes designed for reference during filming (which was happening in late summer 2013) would have existed before a poster created to promote merchandise that's only being revealed now.

That's not to say that the designs on the poster will look just like the final product, but wouldn't it make sense to assume this poster would be the most recent example available?

[Candy Kappa]

Realistic or not, they look laughable silly.

[Bmaga123]

Not sure about the nostrils but other then that I think they look pretty cool and much better then I originally thought they would look so I am happy so far. I really need to see them in action to judge the looks 100%

No........

[BabyTurtles]

okay....Leo's face looks the best.....

they aren't the BEST faces, but eehh it won't ruin the movie for me I care more about how they are gonna act like.

other than their faces I think they look cool.

[turtlefanforever]

At least they're giving us time to get used to them. You could only imagine not seeing anything up until you see the movie or very soon before and going wtf is that?!

Either way - this was created to showcase the movie and its designs, and it's being used right now at toy fairs. Until we see otherwise, it's the best we've got to go on, I think.

Not when it comes to trade shows they use original ideas and concept even if they are no longer within the movie. its just how the industry works.

Only in the basic of ways. The final design while i don't believe it will look exactly like the Marquette seeing as they generally are constantly tweaking and changing detail till release this is not exactly what they will look like

Except they don't differ much from the maquettes at all. In fact Michelangelo in that poster has elements present in that halloween costume which I think is safe to say was as good as based on the final design that's missing on the maquette.

Hasn't one of the people who saw the action figures said Don had the glasses with tape around it like that poster.

I'd say both have taken a few liberties with the faces but I'd argue the poster might be a better indication of how they will look in action as opposed to the expressionless maquettes.

Actually, no. It's from the Nurnburg Toy Fair in Germany, which started today. I believe the German title is simply "Ninja Turtles", whereas here and in the USA it'll have the full name.

This poster wasn't on display at the London Toy Fair - there was a smaller poster just showing the turtle's heads, but that was it.

No - that's the maquette - in a photograph. I was referring to the CG of the poster.

But small detail like face size skin textures details lengths of clothing colors and all sorts of things will be changed slightly in the least till the final release.

Yes but this does not in any way shape or for 100% confirm he will wearing them 100% of the time plus figure always take liberties

Expressionless Marquettes? Your not seeing the same thing i am then lol im just saying generally for trade shows they use older stuff just for basic visual sake
