Toy line first, cartoon because of toy line, nuff said.

What is so great about all red masks? it's boring. Most people only remember the turtles by the colors as well.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-28-2003, 08:47 PM

I like the look of all red masks. Also, I think people would easily get the idea if they used them. The only reason people get confused by the all red mask look is because they don't use it enough. So, IMHO the fact that people don't recognize them all in red masks is excactly why they should do it.

I'm sorry man, the red masks work for the comic, but they would just look boring in a cartoon, and in a live action movie it'd be like trying to tell storm troopers apart.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-28-2003, 10:50 PM

I don't find the multi-colored masks all that "exciting" in the first place. And, in a live action movie it'd be easiest to tell them apart because they always made each turtle look different anyway.

LOL I never noticed that! Wow that's naughty!!!

Woulda been extremely hard to tell them apart for kids in the movies. They have a hard enough time remembering their names as it is. Plus, in the movies, all the turtles had the same color skin...so, it would have made things even tougher. And, if you look, Don and Raph had almost identical faces in the first 2 movies...just different expressions.

Black and white, for your confusion

Yep, that's EXACTLY why.

(Bottom of the page...series premiered in '87, toy line came out in '88...BOOYAKA!)

**Karpo_007** · 05-29-2003, 12:17 PM

In case you didn't know, that was the original plan. Playmates said they would produce TMNT toys after there is a cartoon on air, and so playmates produced the 5 part miniseries wich aired in december of 87 and toys came out in 88. Well technically cartoon came first, but it was made to advertaise the toys.

JoshBYawn · 05-29-2003, 01:03 PM

Are there any longterm fans here who are old enough to remember when they made the change to the colored masks? I imagine it was a pretty bizarre thing to get used to.

Josh

**Karpo_007** · 05-29-2003, 01:10 PM

Well I don't know how many original TMNT fans actually watched the show. On the letter page there was a lot of complaining about how Mirage sold out and such.

It was! When my friend Amanda first got me into the show, she told me about the different mask colors and it was confusing.
I think they should correct this injustice, and restore the TMNT to their original color scheme! (well, it's not really an injustice, but still)

**Karpo_007** · 05-29-2003, 01:47 PM

I grew up with the multiple colors, but now I to prefer red ones.

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 05-29-2003, 01:50 PM

I grew up with both and, still prefer the Red ones.

Ninja Tiptup · 05-29-2003, 04:23 PM

The first time I saw Mirage TMNT I was like... what the heck? They all have red masks! Now I've grown to like it, but it doesn't really matter to me. I like both. Some things work with the original style and some don't.
