    The show may be poopy but the figures are pretty damn cool. Especially the classics.

    That teaser was shown quite sometime ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if the CG quality will look a tad better in the final show. All in all, I'm not passing any real judgment till I see something more substantial.

    But I loooove the look of those 4.25" to 4.75" figures. This may end up being what I spend my money on over the TFP line.

    You should check it out. It was a lot better then you might think.

    Getting pretty tired of the cyclical TMNT reboots.

    There hasn't been that many reboots.

    For me I'm digging the classics line, maybe I'll watch the show.

    Bring. It. On. The voice cast alone got me stoked. I like the look of it too though.

    No its not. It's a new form of animation. Deal with it.

    I know some people just like old school hand drawn stuff, but I'm getting tired of all this moronic CGI hate. That is what is getting ridiculous.

    I actually like the cgi but not these ones. I like the cgi from the 2007 movie. (not the plot the cgi) The live action movies sucked in the design and all the errors.
    The regular cartoons are ok but tend to make the turtles look chunky or like they are on steroids.
    The 2007 cgi flowed and had just the right curvature with muscle without being too much.

    This new design though...ewww. my personal opinion. It is too, blocky, hard lines and edges, no curves, makes it look weird....almost unrendered.

    I get the feeling this new series might become the TFA of the TMNT series.

    That is if the writing turns out to be fun. For I know at this point it could end up being a fairly boring show.

    It's the Turtles. A lot of my best childhood memories revolve around these guys. I'll definately give the show a chance and I WILL own all the figures.

    Similar to Prowl and some others here, the Turtles are very near and dear to my heart, even moreso than the Transformers.

    Even though I'm a product of the 90's I grew up watching the 80's show, and when the 2003 reboot came around I was eccstatic; boy did that show not dissappoint, at least up until Shredder was revealed to be an alien. However looking back that series was nothing short of masterful, I definitely have to go back and watch it again. When Turtles Forever ended I actually found myself wiping a tear.

    After sneaking peak at this and going by what I read... Yeah I'm not too thrilled, but I'll wait and see how it turns out. Definitely going to be picking up some Turtles merch, along with the Mirage comic archives and those new Classic Turtles figure lineup.
