Does the "third toe" on the 2012 Nickelodeon basic TMNT figures bother you? - Page 2

I don't think the question was about the third toe in general, though - I think the question was about how Playmates translated the three toes into toy form.

Huh. You know, I never actually even noticed. I actually think it's pretty cute, but I'm a fan of their overall new little stumpy feet design to begin with. It's a much..."softer" look, as that's the only way I can think to describe it. With this type of stylization they'd probably look just as cute with only two toes also, so either way doesn't really bother me. I guess I just like their feet design no matter what (which is so weird, since I pretty much hate human feet in general).

It just seems like it is un-necessary, besides the very first ever sketch of the ninja turtle, they have always had 2 toes for 25+ years, why do they suddenly decide to add a third toe? Then again the new movie is supposedly gonna be alien ninja turtles, so you we can expect a lot of more drastic changes then a third toe, as they belong to Nickelodeon now.

Third Toe has always been there.

It's mind blowing, but I've always thought of that "third toe" as a heel.
That being said, I think the reason it doesn't really bother me, is that this is just Nickelodeon's version of the TMNT.
In this version they have 3 toes all in the front, and in other more commonly accepted previous versions there were perceived to be 2 toes(with the third secret heel toe).

I mean, they ARE mutants. Why is it impossible that they have messed up genes? That's probably how they ended up with three fingers and two toes. They are... deformed?
