the appeal of the orig turtles were their friendly faces. :what:

this sh*t looks like a angry samurai turtle.

Just leave the damn faces alone.....even the kids these days are buying turtle toys with the faces very similar to the originals

those are not the designs from the movie.
:comeon:

bay knows that he has to sale action figures so
he gotta have them appealing to kids.
I read that they are built differently and
not all the same height.
TBH I like the more threatning look of that
sculpture over that cartoony bullshyt.

someone swung and missed on the OG turtles. cause them muhphukkas were far from friendly.

the turtles mainstreamed with the friendly faces. but they were popular long before the cartoon series. and also after, when creators who grew up on the OG version went back to that feel.

hence, the more serious look in parts of the TMNT animovie.

Lot of cats in here, myself included, didn't get into the turtles until that cartoon came out. However, there's a lot of turtle history I see not everyone is up on. And it's easy to catch up

For those that slept...


And for those that still sleep..quality isn't great but you get the point


someone pointed it out in the nickelodeon turtles thread... but that second scene is damn near line-for-line lifted from the turtles' first meeting with shredder. from the original OG comic. the dialogue's different. but the choreography is basically a running tribute.
