Trenchcoats are back? Sweet! Go nin-ja, go nin-ja, GO!

@k4tzm4n: Could they release official images soon, since it's been leaked anyways?

DUDE wtf is up with Raph and Mikey?

They could look better.

Sorry dude, Paramount asked us to take it down so we're not going to add them to the article. I'm sure they've asked other sites to do the same.

From what I can see, em... I... well... don't see a thing.

@k4tzm4n: is it ok to post a pic of the leaked shots now since every other site has it up?

While the show as a whole was bad i really liked their designs in that show

The look alright. Not great, but not bad. I love Shredder's design though, it looks scary and cool.

A "better" image has surfaced of some advertisement material from a toy fair...

Ninja Turtles ad

I put better in quotes because it is in a higher definition, but I frankly think more definition on these models only hurts them. The maquettes looked ok (aside from the freakin chins) but in this new image the only one that looks to have a turtle face at all is Donny, tho Leo comes close.

Chins and lips.... What turtle anywhere has a chin or lips?!?

Another interesting thing to note is that the ad labels them as "Ninja Turtles" again dropping the "teenage, mutant" from their title. If it were just that I'd be fine, assuming it was done to make things simpler, but it feels more and more like the old script still has influence here

Think about it. Old script had the foot being a black ops military division, we've already seen that to be true. Old script had a White man playing Shredder, true again. Now dropping the teenage and mutant when the original script dropped them because they were neither seems iffy. Lets not forget that the old script had the shredder turning out to actually be a robot. Looking at the leaked image of Shredder it isn't much of a stretch to see that being a robot...

this for real? i guess having 4-foot heroes may look silly ,

THey look alright actually. But I know this movie is going to suck. It's inevitable.

they look boss

1. It was a satire.

2. Second it wasn't a satire about Sin City. Sin City was first released in 91 long after the the turtles had gone mainstream and more kid friendly.

3. It was satire about Frank Miller's Daredevil run among other things. For instance is Master Splinter a joke about Stick and the Foot clan a reference/joke towards The Hand.

Damn, I guess moderate means delete arghh lol

Anywho, I just said I love the new look, gritty reboot design very "MK-esque" darker, more serious, torn clothes etc and homemade gear, I like.

I just want to say I Like the Shredder's look, people always have to petpeeve about something lol. It looks more modernized, the mask I have no issues with it looks as many have said "more menacing" and that it should, the original Shredder keep in mind "was menacing" for uh the 80's and early 90's....now that would be considered a joke and boardlerine cheesy. Not the costume, the mask...

I can live with it.

Now, the turtles:

I as I said love the newer looks but will break down each:

Mikey, little goofy but guess he should be and boarderline "hood" shorty, bling bling chain a bit much...lol even for mikey lol.

Donny, man sooooo fitting. I can picture him fighting with goggles lol, and the homemade weapons/staff is great.

Leonardo is the most fleshed out look imo, most honorable looking and love the home made pads, armor etc on him especially. I don't have issues with his face...

Lastly, my fav Raph. Have to say badass and easily the most menacing turtle look wise, cross between a "biker/surfer/martial artist" into one, dig the mask. Reminds me of the TV show versions, but far more badass.

I look forward to it.

Sorry I didn't realize it :P

I was joking. Lol.

the difference here is that the TMNT were never that kid-ish OTHER than in the cartoon

I was referring to the character designs.

And Superman originally couldn't fly. Batman used to kill. I grew up with the cartoons, so obviously, those are the turtles I'm used to. If I grew up with the comics, I would be used to those. Its all perspective.

Pretty much this :/

More like it was changed.

Yeah that costume is awful so I'm kind of relieved. Oh and in generally you shouldn't expect more than a good action popcorn movies for that what most mainstream comics are anyway.

I liked the designs, but I still think Shredder's armor is made of recycled transformers.

I also curious to Donnie and Raph with glasses and the costume of Raph also showed he haves glasses...why so many glasses? Are they planning to go CSI Miami all the time? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!

Tight. Looking forward to this film.

Yeah that new poster has not sold me on the Turtles' look at all. Especially Leonardo's face, it looks so unlike him.

Added another update.

I really like the look of all of them especially shredder! Now I'm hoping that when it tanks, and megan fox is in it so it will tank, they can at least get a different director and april o'neil for a sequel/new stand alone movie but keep the same character designs.

yeah...so it definitely sounds as though you're basing your opinion on an adaption....the original source material was anything but kiddish...it was violent, dark, and gritty

Kid-ish? clearly you are not reading the comic my friend.

@k4tzm4n: So what's your opinion on that Shredder?

.

Like what? Michael Bay being a producer for the movie? Oh....

Eeer... It looks alright to me... So much negativity here guys, lets face, it could have being a lot worse.

I do. Do you?

I maintain that the Turtles look too clunky and overcluttered in their design but I'll concede that Shredder looks a very menacing mofo here. The chain mail and steel armour looks cool and very fitting for the Shredder and the movie.

what is ralph wearing?

I really don't mind the way the Turtles look at all but the Shredder just looks horrible

Everyone should look up Kris Anka's ninja turtle designs. They look pretty cool, have almost the same take on these

I'm actually surprisingly impressed by these strange redesigns. They are something we've never seen before, but still very faithful to the character origins. Then again, I never thought the visuals would be the problem with this movie in the first place.

You don't say?

jesus christ why are people ragging on the mask, its detailed dark and dread inducing, look at the first movies shredder mask, oversized silly as shit

and the comics version has just a cloth covering his face, would look generic as hell in live action

theres a new TMNT movie?!?!

oh man....i dont know how to feel about this

with the turtles i was all like hell yes, shredder took my breath away!

With the updated pictures, I'd like to retract my previous statement. They look pretty awesome. Shredder needs a new mask though.

Pleasantly surprised
