I think I misunderstood you, I thought by "since 2003" you meant from the year 2003 onwards, sorry.

The movie was good. Eff all else.

Style Guides, man, style guides. Don't get me started on them. They looked at least closer to the actual toon versions than the old ones with their counterparts. Plus, five bucks a piece in a world of overpriced Mattel stuff that looks even worse (Shonen Jump line, anyone) is the best deal on a toy you can ever find.

I remember seeing those heads and just laughing. They all look like they're trying to pass a brick or something. 'Specially Don.

I liked the 2k3 style, but of course my perfect version of TMNT would be neither the squishy '80s turtles or the pumped up 2k3... probably closer to the movie as far as bodies go (lean and toned, with big feet and hands), but with different heads. At least push those eyes a little closer together.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 11-06-2007, 08:05 PM

I am glad to see this. It looks like they are trying to head back a bit to the 2K3 build but now they have soo many options. I think that must make it hard for the concept artists. They have the 2K3 style which clearly is incorporated in this design a bit, I mean look at the posing.
They scaled the arms and legs like the new movie but there are those sharp FF angles everywhere. They have so many different styles to look at and of course they are probably being pulled in certain directions by the powers that be.
I really don't think it's too bad, but I do think they can go no pupils. It looks way more bad a$$ with no pupils

Hello! Iam new here!!

TMNT is my favorite cartoon! I watched all the classic and new epissodes. Does anyone know what will happen in the 2008 season? Will we see a new shredder? Will the turtles continue fighting the foot? I would like to see Krang returning in the 2008 season because he was my favorite character in the old TMNT series. Does anyone know is the classic TMNT shredder the utrom shredder that we saw in the 2003 series?
And when the 2008 season will start?

Ra · 11-07-2007, 04:57 AM

Greetings, Mr. Stockman. Glad to see you. In answer to your questons:

- We don't know what will happen yet. Unless I missed something, which I seriously doubt. We have new designs, but no word on plot or anything. Hopefully we get to hear some whispers in the next few months. The closest thing we have to Shredder is Karai, but that's it.

- Sorry to disappoint, but Krang won't be returning any time soon. Or anyone else from the old toon, anyways. There have been references and cameos (late season 1 and early season 2 pop into my mind instantly). Not too sure if we will have any more references, though. I think this season is just branching out into a tone of its own.

- The Classic OT Shredder and the Utrom Shredder are two VERY different beings. No chance for them to be related at all.

- And finally, no idea when the new season will start. I imagine we'll find out as soon as 4Kids think it's time to give a few details about the new season. They usually give a few tidbits as the premier of the season slowly looms closer. We just have to wait and see, I'm afraid.

*Spike Spiegel* · 11-07-2007, 08:13 AM

The angles kind of compiment the rest of the design....but I prefer the old school 2K3....maybe this season will be the "Red Sky" of this series.

Some of Mattel's stuff doesn't look that bad ......

Different indeed, I like the designs though. Casey looks a bit Bruce Timm-ish.

*Scandia* · 11-08-2007, 09:20 AM

Casey is fine. I do not like April's new design. WAY too different from the 2k3 one- which was still used in FF. PLEASE return to the 2k3 design.

I agree... The 2K3 April was better and hotter than the 2008 april.

*DrSpengler* · 11-08-2007, 10:16 AM

April looks like she stepped right outta the Winx Club. Just give her fairy wings and she'd fit right in. Still, they got rid of her bare midrift, so maybe now all the feminists can quit their bitchin' (pun intended).

Casy looks cool, though.

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-08-2007, 10:21 AM

I almost like the new Casey design more then the old one...hm...maybe I do. And I could see myself growing to like the April one more then the 2k3 one actually...I was never really impressed with how either of these characters were portrayed in 2k3, so I welcome changes. I wish they would switch their voice actors.

*DrSpengler* · 11-08-2007, 10:22 AM

Just as long as Casey isn't reduced to a bumbling comic relief character like he was in season 3. The guy's supposed to be a lovable oaf, but he isn't freakin retarded.

*Masked Ninja* · 11-08-2007, 10:35 AM

I'm glad April's hair is a more natural color, but I really appreciated that she had the build of a normal woman in 2k3, and here she's built more like a teenager (like every female character in every show now). She's OK, but yeah... definitely some things about 2k3 April I miss. Casey looks pretty cool, though... like if the movie Casey became a bodybuilder.

I like 'em, but obviously I would have done April a little differently at least.

*sdp* · 11-08-2007, 11:51 AM

Second opinions on them:

I don't like them as much but they aren't bad.

Casey looks like a beefed up version of himself, which I don't like but it makes enough sense. he also looks older.

April looks nothing like her, and worse she looks younger. So it doesn't make much sense continuity wise.. The design could work in a different turtles universe but not this one.

Either doesn't even look like their movie designs.

The Shelf · 11-08-2007, 11:55 AM

I think they both look great. The only thing I would change is make April's hair darker. It's far too orange. So, make April's hair red, and I'm a happy camper.

*Scandia* · 11-08-2007, 12:30 PM

April looks too transparent. And yes, she looks too young- which does affect continuity.

She needs a larger chest, larger bones, a more mature face, possibly more curves elsewhere, and darker hair.

Casey does not seem all that different from previous incarnations to me.
