They look better than the first round of toppers that came out with the first film...which I realize isn't saying much, the first round looked liked dilapidated blobs of green plastic; at the very least, these hold some measure, be it small, of resemblance to the characters they are supposed to be.

I wonder if the pants, were just laziness on the part of the figure makers, not wanting to detail the bottom halves, or an indication that maybe they are suiting up in full black, more along the lines of traditional ninja-esque garb.

Well, I was expecting them to look exactly the same as they did in the last film. I don't mind the pants so much. I am happy that they toned down the accessories.

The new look is due to the fact that Playmates must produce toys for the film and they can't sell the same models as for the first film. They changed the look to justify the production of new toys.

So three of the four of them are wearing pants.

Raph is wearing shorts.

Why.

Because...because he's the rebel of the group?

️Sigh. Sigh.

If Raphael was a REAL rebel, he'd be wearing yoga pants.

To show off every curve and bulge.

...And the cycle continues.

Seriously, guys. Calm down. It is not that serious. Bay didn't commit a crime against you. They're just designs.

I hope this forum doesn't get shut down(...again).

Short of humorous hyperbole, no one is saying he did.

And they are just designs. Bad designs. And people are expressing their dislike of them on a forum where it is free to do so.

A sense of humor will take you much further in life than a stick up the rectum. Yes, we're all complaining. And yes, we are all enjoying each other's wit.

Join us... we don't bite. We love each other; we are united by hatred and thusly united in love.

I'm just saying, if Bay REALLY wanted to push the envelope, one of the Turtles would be wearing Yoga Pants with "Juicy" or "Hottie" stamped across the ass.

So people shouldn't be allowed to express their opinions over these designs?

If you don't like what's being said, ignore it.

I'm glad I could be the one to hold your hand as you took that first big step out of fantasy and into stark brutal reality.

It's cold in here, but nobody's gonna give you a jacket, so suck it up with a straw and get over it.

Good point, Bry.

Movie 3:

Yoga pants for Raph
Leather chaps for Mikey
Balloon pants for Leo
Overalls for Donnie

Because f*ck you, that's why.
