First and foremost, a great poster/pic. The turtles look good and so does the armored/helmet wearing Raph? [Have we confirmed it's Raph?] The big chin guy isn't worrying me because even the Turtles upon first glance looked horrible (very first poster??) and then I saw them in action in the teaser (it came out a while later)...so obviously improvements were made. This is as far as I know our first glimpse at Max Winters so it'll only get better with time (or until we actually see him moving, whatever comes first).

TMNT, you should had taken the pic I posted for your avatar since its clear and better than the first pic. But you do what you want of course...

Second, Here's the pic of Raph in armor that I was talking about earlier.
Sure its not as detailed as the pic on the poster (normal, its a toy) but still, you can see the red bandana behind the helmet, as well as Raph's face through the visor. We can barely see it, but you can see a bit of his nose and his bandana. Also notice how the belt goes on his hips, then all the way back to what it pretty much seems to be a round and big back...(shell...)



So if its not Raph... It sure does look like him alot...alot.

The toy looked more like a pig to me. Why would his bandana hang out of the back in the suit as a toy, but not in a picture on a poster? Why would raph get the power rangers suit and become more important than everyone else? Not suggesting that it should be anyone else...

Thanks Sliced. I forgot all about your better pic. Sorry about that; I saw the first post of the pic and just took that one, which by the way thanks to Underoath740 for that. I've changed it to your (as well as my) liking. Thanks again.

Sure no problem. I didn't want to steal it from Underoath who did found the pic. But since the quality was better... Anyway, you all get the point

And about the toy, you can clearly see that its the same as on the poster. And it doesn't look like a pig to me at all. As for the bandana, all of the turtles toys with long bandana to date (well that I saw) had a straight bandana behind their head. Seems that its no different with this one, surely that the helmet can be taken off and that it would surely break the bandana if the helmet was placed right on it.

And they wouldn't show on a promotional picture that the mutant in the armor is in fact Raphael.

As for why Raph is in the armor ? Well, be there on march 30 2007, and you'll know.

Spoiler:
I think it may be his disguise. I mean we know that Raph has been cruising the streets fighting crime against Splinter's wishes, this may be the get up he wears as to avoid people getting a glimpse at what he really is

I never said the toy and poster were different.I'm asking why the bandana is haning out of the back of the helmet on the toy, but it's not on the poster. Why would it even hang out at all? The helmet doesn't lok like it would come off of the toy. Why do we assume it's Raph, because we see some read behind the head? The face mask isn't painted red.

Probably just so the toy can be easily identified as Raph. Or so they could allow the unmasked figure (assuming the helmet even comes off) to still have the trademark bandanna. The Karai figure did the same thing, having a opening in the back of her Shredder helmet allowing her bandanna to stick out of it while on.

I'm guessing it's raph motorcycle get up, and he has flesh underneath because they're actually not going to just walk around in the city without some get up. Similar to the masks in the original turtles cartoon.

Peter Laird loves motorcycles, and raph has been known as the cycler since next mutation, when the rest of the turtles drove the turtle van, and raph had a cycle.

It doesn't look like it would come off. I also see him adopting a new weapon.

Im thinking it's Michelangelo because it's being said that due to some countries banning nunchucks he will not be using Nunchucks in the movie. Gee thanks Norway!

It is Raphael under the armor. I know it, it's been proven. It's been revealed already he is being a vigilante; he takes on this armor so people don't see him.

It's being said by whom? All I heard was that the movie might have issues IN NORWAY because of their rules... not that it would affect the movie. Really it's kind of odd to even think that they would tailor TMNT to Norway's preferences... it's not like Norway is populated with nothing but turtles fans.

Indeed its like when they banned that ep but still it was aired in europe... a katana is worse than a nunchuck any day and nobody is banning that , I would really hate watching the tmnt like in TMNT 2 barely using any weapons

Ok Gary, look closely at this pic.



Now, look at the hand. 3 fingers, and they pretty much look like the ones from one of the turtles... You agree ? I mean its pretty obvious.

Second, The red bandana sticking out of the helmet.

Then look closely at the face. You can see through the visor. And what you can see is the shape of an eye, and a red ''face'', who is toned down to pink due to the semi-transparency of the visor.

So, this is all pretty obvious. Add to that the bike behind the figure and the legs of the figures who are pretty much like the legs on the new design of the turtles. Are you finally convinced ? Because this is pretty obvious now.

Jeez, I'm really trying to make you realize that it is Raph

it's also pretty obvious because I was at the comicon and saw the dang special screening and I've said before and I'll say it again they showed him on that bike in that outfit ridding around...but I thought it was leo because it went by so fast but the toy just conferms that it's raph as well as that story board pics I have..which I need to scan for everyone I've just been really sick this past week.

I'm not denying it being Raph. I just think it's an ugly toy and the only reason you think it's him is because of some red sticking out of the back. Again, I'm not saying that it isn't a fair assumption.
