It's really a tough choice for me but I think the way the standard 2k12 turtle figures look is probably my favourite. They're similar to the nick turtles but more stylised and somewhat grittier looking, almost like all the best aspects of each incarnation rolled into one. I love their proportions too, how they have the limbs that sort of get larger as they go down. Everything about them just looks great, though I do wonder why they look so different from how they do in the show.

I still go with Mirage, but I feel the same could be said about it too.

Still have to go with the nick turtles in the absence of their out of the shadows realistic reimagining. I like seeing the turtles with different physical characteristics. The 1990 movie had that too but I like like tall slim donnie better than chubby donnie

I voted for the 4Kids Turtles, but then I realized that the Nick designs with the 4Kids art style would be da bomb. I'd also have to agree with what alpaca witch said about the toys. My 11" Battle Shell Turtles look so badass.

Spoiler:


The proportions are perfect (accessories aside, of course). They're like a cross between parts from Mirage, 4Kids, Nick, and the first movie, and I love it.

What's funny is that I hated the Out of the Shadows look initially... now that I've seen the designs for the new movie, the Shadows designs barely bother me at all.

This. I would actually love to see the OOTS designs in a movie, though! That's the way to give them human eyes, lips, & noses while maintaining the classic look (head/face-wise, not trying to have a debate about the outfits).

Exactly this.

Give the OotS designs a realistic render similar to the movie and THAT is your perfect CG live action Ninja Turtle.

This one is a toughy. It's easier to say which turtle design I like least.
It's a toss up between the first live action movie...and the Nick versions.

I'm going to have to give it to the Nick turtles. I love the drastic and subtle diversity.

I'd have to say IDW since they can stay open to interpretation. Personally, David Peterson's art style is great for the turtles. Especially Splinter because, you know, the man is known for drawing rodents.

Too bad it isn't likely he'll ever do interior art for the Turtles.

I chose the 2014 design.
I know there are MANY people who don´t like them, but after watching the new trailer I can´t stop looking at them.
( watched the trailer over 20times allready)

Live action, the first movie. Animated, the 2K3 art style. I guess the first movie's my favorite overall. Whenever I draw them it comes out somewhere in between the two.

Mostly the comics drawings (Mirage, IMAGE, IDW etc.) but I really appreciate how detailed the 1990 Turtles looked. Those costumes were amazing!

It's a tie between the 2012 turtles and 2003 ones

Though the 90s flicks did them pretty good too.

I'm with ya.. the one thing I am really excited for is to see them take their gear off in the lair and see how they look bare ass No seriously I want to see what they look like without all that gear on. My second favorite look is the Nick toon.. when you look at Penny's Avatar " it will be mine " that's something else id like to see. The Nick turtles with the new movie look. It's something new and fresh imo. Mix it up a little. The new movie fan art thread has some awesome stuff

I voted the 2K3 ones, though it was really a toss-up between that and the original movie versions. Both are beautiful and perfectly fit the characters, IMHO. Oddly, I also agree about the season 1 OT turtles. I'd love to see something that incorporates the best of all three.
