I don't see how Mikey clothes fit anything but the surfer stereotype. Shells and beads? Even the pants look like a wetsuit.

Not much expression there. Like I said completely stereotypical and dated.

He had the best voice for Raphael. That lower Eastside accent was top notch.

I do have to confess, I actually really liked each of their voices in TMNT (CGI movie). Especially Raphael and Leonardo.

Obviously that's a natural sounding voice.

Sounds more like Mikey yelling -" Leo, where's Raph?" they do something to Mikey and Leo yells- "Mikey!"

IMO TMNT had the best combination of voices of any Turtles incarnation.

Ah. I've only just now managed to find a couple of pics of the action figures. Now I can see where the negativity is coming from.

I was basing my 'like' of the new designs on what I could see in the poster and the pic of Leo that had surfaced along with a pic of Raph (on set model I guess).

Now I've seen the action figures, along the previous pics of Raph and Mikey stood together (again set models)...it becomes more clear now...yeah the studios attempts to accessorize each character isn't great.

Without the 'accessories' I thought the designs looked great, I had no problem with tiny holes for nostrils or barely visible lip lines. Even some small accessories like glasses and shoulder plates, I thought "OK, I can live with that". But now I can see they're wearing boots/shorts/trousers etc...not great.

I'm still behind this movie but now I can plainly see where a lot of the disappointment is coming from and I can't defend the inclusion of these over the top accessories...

Don and Leo's nostrils are fine, but Raph and Mikey's noses are hella weird.

I agree, this is what they probably went with. Get the turtles to resemble actors in a slight way.

Well that's because Hulk and Bruce Banner is the same guy, they made the Hulk model look like the actor in the previous films as well, not just in the Avengers.

So how do we know the turtles aren't 4 guys mutated into turtles??? We don't know what kinda crazy stuff thry could be throwing at us. In the original cartoon Splinter was a guy who turned into a rat so why not in this movie? If that's the route they are going the it would make sense for the Turtles to have human looking faces

In the original cartoon the merging of Hamato Yoshi and his pet rat was done in a way to simplify and make the origin story more child friendly compared to the original origin.

The turtles have always been turtles, making them human turned mutants removes one of the more important aspects of their character. Even in IDW it's just their "souls" that was human, the turtles themselves was turtles before mutating.


Besides, that the turtles are looking like the actors portraying them lies In the Hollywood face-time, actors must have in a movie, hence why so many superhero movies the heroes love to take off their mask so often.

Oh, do I now?
Good to know you have absolutely no knowledge of me at all, yet you think I'm a joker that yells wolf because Micael Bay is the Producer.

I didn't single you out...jokers is plural. I've seen many people on here in my short time jump quick to condemn this movie based on the fact that Michael Bay's name is attached to this film.

And Spielberg's name is on Transformers, didn't stop it to be ****.

Bay's name is the least of this movie's problems.
