Favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Designs

[kamikazekeeg]

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.

1984 Original Mirage Comics TMNT

1987 Cartoon Series TMNT

1990 Live Action Movie TMNT

1997 Live Action TV Series TMNT

2003 Cartoon Series TMNT

2007 CGI Cartoon Movie TMNT

2012 Cartoon Series TMNT

2014 Live Action Movie TMNT

2018 Injustice 2 Game TMNT

2018 Cartoon TMNT

For me, it's sort of tough between a few of them, but generally I'd go.

-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 started with the 1987's so of course this one has to be my favorite being followed so close by the 2012, man I totally love this desing, they did a complete reboot of everything but the characters remained the same also the fact that my daughter started to watch the show with me means a lot and is part of the reason why is my second favorite show from the TMNT

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

2003 Cartoon Series, since I grew up with it and their designs still hold up to this day

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.

1987 Cartoon series for sure.

Definately

While the style might not be something I 100% love, the animation is actually pretty good.  Might watch the new show to see how it goes.  https://twitter.com/TMNT/status/977258852172357632
