Even if the show premiers in fall 2012 I think we'll definitely see the turtles at SDCC, they've been showing the turtles every chance they get. I like the designs, I don't mind the third toe on the pictures though I'm sure it'll bother me in figure form since I'll be there to compare them with the others and actually take notice.

Raph seems to have no pupils but it might just be the pic, I kinda hope they go for a style that has pupils but they get rid of the pupils when they are fighting or some trade off like that. Best of both worlds.

For the most part I think the designs are cool. I don't mind the bandages. But the three toes still just make me scratch my head. I picture some nick executives demanding the third toe simply because of the turtles have three fingers. Honestly they look less awkward then I originally pictured but they're awkward in a different way. They look almost like the turtles are wearing shoes. May as well photoshop some laces and a nike logo on them. Still I will judge the show based on content then some stupid little toe. No matter how stupid they are.

I agree with whoever said the Turtles look more "young" or kid-oriented with these designs, but I guess that's the point.

I can't wait to see Splinter's design since he's supposed to be 6ft or something in this version.

I bet we get used to the extra toe. So, no toys on display, eh? SDCC it is, then.

I've been fine with the designs for some time.
But I hope they get rid of that clay fighters video game look.

Is he really suppose to be 6 ft? That's messed up, I don't like that idea.


Oh and side note...look.



Looks like three toes right?

Question: How big is a 6 foot rat? Splinter may be the same size as Leonardo for all we know. I don't mind if they're going to be the same size. I'm almost as tall as my dad.

6 feet is very tall. Especially for a rat.

They look adorable.





I do not care for that. The designs are fine, I just hope when they are animated they won't be so cutesie. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh well, still excited!

I don't understand why cartoons/cgi characters can't have realistic proportions anymore.

Wow. Those designs look awesome. Still have to get used to the third toe, but I can deal with that.

I wonder if the Turtle stuff is at the Playmates booth since it wasn't at the Nico booth?

They have no wrists or ankles and people are complaining about an extra toe.

Yep, because it's a change for no apparent reason. The TMNT have a 27 year history and defined/understood "look". Adding an additional body part is a little odd.

It's not a HUGE deal, but it's annoying. And voicing our opinion is what we're all here to do - discuss our thoughts on things, good and bad. Welcome to forums.

Regarding the feet/wraps - I thought the exact same thing. The third toe, coupled with the feet "wraps" makes it look like they are wearing shoes. Not digging it. Of course, I'll wait to see what it looks like animated, but hopefully someone at Nick realizes that it doesn't look good and does something about it.

Well they're removing an appendage (their tails), so maybe it's even.

Someone could realize about the third toe. Like I asked, is there any way to complain to and request Nickelodeon? Of course, the turtles do have three fingers.

Just to add: I like the feet wraps! And no, they don't look like they're wearing shoes. All their toes seem to be separated from each other. I'm just digging this new look. It's sort of original. Still, I'm not sure about three toes, though.
