Title: Favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Designs
Post by: kamikazekeeg on February 28, 2018, 09:39:10 pm: The Turtles have been around a very long time, nearly 35 years now, and we are getting another new cartoon show and design for them. As a longtime fan since the original cartoon, I've always enjoyed them in some way. Less so nowadays with lackluster movies and games, but I will always have a soft spot for them. So for kicks, pick your 3 favorite designs of theirs.

I'll list what have generally been kinda the main looks for them, but feel free to add in others I don't show because there's comic variations, some game stuff, and like the Japanese OVA's among others I assume.

-1990 Live Action TMNT
-2003 Cartoon Series TMNT
-1987 Cartoon Series TMNT

Honorable Mention for Injustice 2 TMNT due to them looking very much like well animated versions of the 90's Live Action turtles. Such a great addition to the game.

90's TMNT is just too good, I love that first movie quite abit still to this day, less so the sequel and third, but I really dig how they look.

2003 was a great take on them I feel, kinda more of a design thats like a super hero show. Make them abit tougher looking, introduce more darkness into the show, overall more of a cooler look than the silly marshmallows of the late 80's.

1987 is just pure nostalgia for me. It's kinda funny to have toys of that era, where they look nothing like the show and that they never look like that until more recently they did throwback figures to the original cartoon designs. This is a silly cartoon show, but I love it.

I only watched a season or two of the 2012 one, but I generally liked it. It had some good humor.

Post by: ferraroso on March 02, 2018, 07:10:49 pm: I love the 1990's feature film's design. The turtles' look in Injustice 2 is heavily influenced by it, but my favorite will always be the live-action form.
