Splinters legs seem too long to me in relation to the rest of his body. I imagine him standing on a cinder block or something under his robes.

I pretty much like the designs overall, though I'm not a big fan of what they did with Splinter. I feel Splinter should be a more "Yoda-like" figure; small, humble, meek... as in, you're quite sure what he's capable of by looking at him. Just a thought, but not meaning to be negative.

Although I'm used to the shorter version of Splinter, I do like the taller version as well. It makes him seem like more of a parent and more intimidating. I just hope he fights alongside his sons and doesn't just sit in the background like in the OT.

That could put a serious hamper on the Season 10 DVD... unless the Red Sky version of the theme is just different enough to get a pass.

It actually would surprise me; Fred Wolf Films seems like they are pretty stingy when it comes to legal matters!

Took the words right out of my mouth--er, fingers. It's too wide and the lower jaw is too square.

Tall Splinter reminds me of Archie Splinter, so [Martha Stewart]It's a good thing.[/Martha Stewart]

Being 12 isn't a catch all excuse. I've known plenty of 12 year-olds who aren't this obnoxious.

Is he editing out his obnoxiousness before I read his posts? I'm just not seeing what everyone's complaining about.

I highly doubt that'll happen. Lionsgate will milk TMNT a little bit longer and then sell all their remaining rights for a pretty penny.

*is biting lip hard to keep her opinions to herself* Besides, they've already been aired. I'll sound like a broken record. I have just one question, why in Raph's bio are they calling him the alpha turtle?

The fact that Lionsgate didn't sell the series to Nick right away says a lot.

I can't say it really matters as long as we get all the eps on DVD. I doubt Nick would ever "digitially remaster" the old show anyway, so if they put out DVDs they'd likely be the same.

I think it was referencing Raphael having a rather "alpha male" personality, he tends to strut around trying to be the boss and exerting his macho persona on those around him.

Alpha is the first letter in "***-hole".

Seriously though, the bully of the pack is typically referred to as the "alpha male".
