Sacks is also Shredder in the video game based off the movie, and the Japanese trailer used Fichtner's voice during Shredder's bits.

I find that strange. The ONE place they use it...when the character everyone else heard is supposed to be of Japanese decent. (Edit: I guess maybe they might have been concerned if they'd gotten it right, being an American-made movie and all. Kinda strikes me as looking like 'American greed' though, changing who Shredder is.)

Exactly.

Semantics. There's still nostrils and they're allowed to be there. Beaks are noses to them. Don't let such a small and insignificant thing get in the way of something you'll no doubt hate anyway.

I don't mind them. They're barely noticeable to me. They can easily be changed I guess. I'm sure PD are aware of people's complaints regarding the turtles' designs. The only problem I have is their height.

Agreed. The OOTS nostrils weren't bad and their faces still looked pretty pleasing. Their faces in the Bay movie were just too human. Mikey especially looked like Alfred E. Neuman from MAD Magazine which was just gross. They have grown on me a bit but man, I wish we would've gotten better designs from the get go.

Hadn't noticed that, but he really kinda does.

I just wish we'd seen the designs waaaay sooner than we did. Fairly used to them now, but took a while.

But what about the original trailer with Sacks saying he was trying to create heroes, or talk of a scene involving Foot Ninja being pumped full of mutagen? I think there was more changed than simply making Sacks not Shredder.

They also did it in the French trailer.

If we did see them sooner, maybe we could've complained enough for them to make significant changes to their faces or maybe not. All in all, I have to say, Leo's face in the movie turned out the best. Still not great but tolerable.

[IndigoErth]

Even just leaving them as they are, just wish I'd had longer to come to terms with it beforehand. They took so damn long to even get trailers out there.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I was something akin to somewhat devastated there for a while. I can laugh at it now as I've come around a lot since then, but that was not an easy grieving period. lol Just grateful my fave is often considered to have turned out the best visually, that helps.

for me if given the choice to change one thing, personally id rather it the faces

yes the heights bother me as well but


a characters face whether it be human,animal or creature is what draws you to either like or hate, or fear them....clearly these turtles on looks alone have put quite the division among fans as the very walls of this forum show

Kruger or maskless vorhess wouldnt be the hero of a film, extreme i know but catch my drift?

id be willing to bet that if the faces where more "normal" like say more classic turtle look with only a slight subtle change, the other design issues would easily be brushed off


sadly subtlety is not bays strong point

First thing I get rid of is Don's glasses Mike ' s pants, Hoodie around the waist Raph ' s stupid sunglasses (he's nocturnal why?) And last but not least the shoe's.

For sure. The promotion was pretty terrible at first. It was almost like they were embarrassed to show anything.

Too bad my favorite didn't fare too well with the face. I don't think Raph was hideous but the nostrils were a little too close together. It made them look a little too human. At least it was toned down a bit because his nose used to look like a gorilla from some of the earlier images. Kind of doesn't make any sense to change them now unless it's very minute.

[IndigoErth]

I think Raph must have a little bulldog DNA in there or something, the narrower nose design on he and Mikey both just look a bit puppy-ish to me.

Cute. I can see it now that you mention it. Raph's nose looking wet also helped with the puppy dog look.
