Well he also worked on Avengers: EMH and thats a good show, also I checked which episodes of Teen Titans he worked in and pretty much all of them were solid episodes.

I actually can't tell them very much apart in the movies(first three), I mean they all act like goofballs, Raph is the easiest since he is the "angry" one but the others is hard to tell especially since Donnie doesn't do much tech wise, mikey's jokes are used by everyone and leo is just there.

Hm...I agree that Donny doesn't do much tech wise, although they did show him tinkering with a gadget down in the lair. But besides that, I think they're all pretty distinct. I understand what you're saying, that Mikey's jokes were used by everyone, but that is sort of unfair to say --- maybe a few jokes were uncalled for and should have went to Mikey (for instance, it always bugged me that Don was the one that brought the marshmellows to the campfire...should have been Mikey) but I think it's obvious that Leonardo, for example, is not as big of a jokester as Mikey.

If Mike really doesn't have nunchucks, that's just the stupidest thing ever. There's no reason they could not have him use nunchucks.

Nick is going to air reruns of the 4kids cartoon, its not like they're going to edit every single scene Mike uses them in that show.

Its already the first sign of Nick, "bastardizing" the Turtles.

Well, we don't know that for sure...in my opinion, that artwork is wayyy better than what I expected Nick to deliver, so if that is indeed the designs, then hope is restored, at least for me. Besides the question of the nunchaku, and perhaps the similarity between the TMNT4 designs, what's not to like here? It's a re-design, sure, but it completely keeps with the movie/mature-image. It even looks dark to me. That's also what I was hoping for, though. If you were hoping for an 80s like revamp I suppose I'd understand disappointment...

*CyberCubed* · 03-07-2011, 12:42 AM

The designs themselves are fine, aside from Mike looking way too happy back there, but eh.

But no nunchucks for him is unacceptable.

*Koi* · 03-07-2011, 12:45 AM

YES! WOOT! This makes me want to go put on turtle boxers and eat green dyed popcorn and watch some ninja turtle movies.

The design is cool in other words...

According to Alex Deligiannis on Twitter: "Yup, the #TMNT image accompanying the WSJournal Nickelodeon article is official. Them's the turtles!"

On another note...

Well, of course. However, my point is that particular weapon being illegal in some states may have had a part in Nick deciding to give Mikey a more authentic Ninja weapon.

If he had tonfas or just a grappling hook I might agree with you but he's got a nice weapon there. I might miss the nunchucks but as long as he has a real weapon I'm not going complain about it.

I AM F*CKING GIDDY.

*Eiko* · 03-07-2011, 03:21 AM

Wow they are awsome looking. But i wonder why Mike don't have his nunchucks prob still the chucks are to dangerous thing.

Chaotix12345 · 03-07-2011, 03:37 AM

REALLY digging these new designs. I like that they have a different look to them than both the 1988 and 2K3 incarnations, but are still recognizable and have a look all their own. It's cool that Nick isn't changing them too dramatically, but still updating their look a bit. Some aspects of the designs remind me a bit of Next Mutation, actually. Let's hope they look just as good in CGI! Definitely looking forward to hearing more about this new show in the coming months.

*ssjup81* · 03-07-2011, 03:44 AM

I approve of Mikey's weapon, yep yep. No damn grappler. *Nods* Seems Mikey's had the most weapons changed over the years. It's probably just become expected.

He's probably happy because he's not walking around with a lame grappler.

That aside, I do miss those nunchucks. As a kid, I always found the nunchucks the coolest of the weapons because it just looked so cool.

Don't forget the pizza and green Ninja Turtle pies.

I gotta say (haha) it's pretty rad being the first dude to post it.

This picture was copyright Nick on The Wall Street Journal website, and accompanied this article which states more info is to come in about a week. Could this actually be their new look? EDIT: Why yes, it is actually! It is somewhat close to the TMNT designs at first glance, but still infinitely better than them... I could dig the hand-wraps too. Note that Mikey's chucks have been replaced with a Kusari-gama (I personally think that's rad)!

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...111427388.html

I like the fact that they want to "stress their martial-arts combat abilities", maybe we'll have some rad fight scenes akin to the first season of 2k3.

Why they didnt show a screenshot of the Shredder? I dont care about turtles i hate them. Shredder is my favorite hero! When wil have some pics of the new Shredder?

A. This is the first leak, they're not gonna expose everything all at once.

B. You trolling?

**GK Punk** · 03-07-2011, 04:09 AM

I'm just really hoping the new Figures aren't re-releases or re-toolings of the TMNT movie toys again.

It almost looks like the designs were made so that the toy molds wouldn't necessarily have to be changed from that of TMNT.

I see we're in the same lane. *Bites fingernails*

I 3rd. Motion carries. Playmates, you'd better not skimp out on the figures. Then again everything's going 3/4's G.I. Joe Scale...wonder if the Turtles will floolw suit.

I think that's the only way I'd be able to get excited about them. Of course, if anyone can screw it up, it's Playmates.
