What was your first impression for each show design?

I'm not going to list ever incarnation of the turtles here, but here are some main ones that I want to know your opinion about.

Original Cartoon :

This is the definitive look for the turtles to me. I loved them as a kid, and I still love this style now.

2K3 :

Personally, I hate this version of the turtles. They look far too "heroic" to be teenagers.

2K12 :

I HATED this version when I first saw it, but it's definitely grown on me a lot, as I have fallen so passionately in love with the show.

What about you guys?

Hated 1987 version they looked the same

OT: I love it since it's very nostalgic and original looking. A true classic, although they do look a little "kiddy".

Movies: The first movie's designs were simply amazing. As a kid I always wanted to meet them as mascot characters somewhere

The second movie's design weren't as good as the first, but not bad whatsoever. The 3rd movie's designs were awful, they looked like rubber muppet frogs. Ew. The 4th movie's designs were pretty much just 3D versions of 2k3 so read below for my thoughts. God only knows what the 5th movie's designs will look like

Next Mutation: These designs literally used to scare me...horrible. Same goes for things like Coming out of their shells and Turtle Tunes (although I used to like that one back in the day)

2k3: Ew, hate. Although I didn't hate the show itself, the character designs looked like steroid addicted college students. I didn't like that at all, and don't even get me started on April...

2k12: My favorite design for the turtles so far. They are all unique and different from each other including heights, facial features, head shapes, skin shades, and more.

You're insulting the comics.

I liked the Dooney-ish 2k3 designs a lot. I like all of these actually, and the only animated look that doesn't really appeal to me are the more simplified FF/BTTS designs.

*Shark_Blade* · 07-25-2013, 02:59 AM

OT: I was a young child, I'd swallow everything and loving it at first sight.

2k3: Pretty different from what I'm used to but I like it.

2k12: Pretty meh at first. But I watched it in motion on the first episode and I was hooked, line and sinkered. I love it the best!!

Liked the sashes on Next Mutation. At least they didn't look like sashes off Miss America or Miss USA pageants (LOL).
