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.
Still stands toy fair Location doesn't change what i said.

Which just further proves this is older material and not as well refined as a final product that will be released

They still look very close to each other, the miniatures, the CG poster, Halloween costume. We see what we will get, and it sucks on a basic design level.

With or without the excess sunglasses.

i really don't have a problem with the overall look. as for Don's glasses...i kinda doubt he will be wearing those the entire movie. i have no evidence or anything, just a feeling.

I personally disagree But i will see for my self when i see it. I am Personally really excited about it. And i was just commenting on the fact that there's a lot of nit picking on basic tiny details that most likely will not be very visible, and will be inconsequential

Whoa- again, just commenting on the poster that we have actually had a chance to see.
We all know that shots will be refined as post comes to an end.

But from what we have seen, so far, new or old, it does have a john carter look, IMO.

Not a fan of either pair of glasses. But we'll see

Anyone else notice Donnie is using a metal staff for the first time?

Nothing wrong about nitpicking on what little we've got, hopefully they will change the textures on the lips, cause they stand put like a sore thumb as they are now, both on the poster and the studio figures.

Glad you liked the film. Good for you.
I'm commenting on the look of the render - I didn't like the look of JCOM from a look/dev standpoint. That's all. Not bashing the story or the film - didn't see it, so i can't - just from the trailers etc.

Ah, right.

Oh well, atleast above all else, we know his staff won't keep splitting in half like the nick show.


Also, looks like they used the same eye colors for the turtles as the nick show.

I think they look fine on the Marquettes and there only slight eye catching on the poster and i personally see it as them being low quality renders for the toy fair.

To each their own. in any event, we will see what we'll see. At least you're excited for this, which is great - nice to see someone supporting the Franchise.

....I don't know what to say...don't get me wrong, they look bad, but not AS bad as I thought they'd be...yay? Let's go through each turtle...

Don: He looks way too over the top. First of all, look at his face. He looks elderly. And at all that tech gear? He's gonna be wearing that the whole time? The nerd glasses with tape? REALLY? I can't believe this is how my favorite character is gonna look...oh well.

Mike: To be honest, he's the only one I actually like. Despite all his accessories, he looks the most normal out of all of them.

Raph: By far the worst...I can't even tell where his head and eyes start or end...way too busy of a design, and way too bulky. He looks ridiculous.

Leo: He's just ok....nothing special but nothing necessarily bad.

Overall I don't like the human type noses with nostrils and lips...not too impressed by them. I won't judge the whole movie by the designs, though. The movie itself could still be good.....?

I actually love how each Turtle looks so unique and how colourful the poster is. Just wished the poster actually looked like those Model Figurines so fanboys wouldn't rage to death!

I'd take Donatello's glasses over his missing tooth any day!

Yeah, honestly, this is a pretty bad poster. Leo's position looks pretty weird. Not happy with the fact Donnie has nerd glasses, or with Raph's face. Mikey's okay, only problem with him are those darn turtle lips.

But overall, the designs, while not very good, are better than what I expected.

If I were to make a comparison I would say this style reminds me of later day Mirage or 4kids mixed with Steve Baron's concepts for tmnt 2 (Had some trouble linking said art but perhaps someone can help out).

I personally couldn't have asked for cooler inspirations and I think the team did a really good job designing these guys in a way that fits the expectations of general audiences today while giving long time fans something faithful enough yet fresh.
