Hell no they have a kickass long-running comic and they just got into Injustice 2.

Having one animated incarnation which is distasteful for adults isn't going to kill something like this. This isn't even close to being the worse the series has been through.

Oh hey, there's new Ninja Turtles figures coming! Let's have a look...


...oh...oh no...

Twice.

See to me these look like cartoon versions of the Michael Bay designs, right down to Donnatello having goggles. I also wouldn't blame Playmates as they just make the toys, Nick is responsible for this mess.

You know, we go from a star filled cast with top notch CGI animation and stories that incorporate all the different eras of the shows and comics while paying proper respect to it all with amazing long running plots and deep character development and throwing in excellent culture references to Donnie and Raph having Frankenstein heads and April having a weird little sidekick creature. I cannot imagine my 10 year old nephew who grew up with five years of his life being a fan of the 2012 series REALLY looking at this and thinking it's a cool new replacement. This looks like a Preschool Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

The character designs are lame, the style is lame, the toys look lame and the concept is lame. Just waiting to confirm the actual show is lame and all my reasons for writing this garbage off will be complete. I'm sorry for anyone that actually likes this, but I'm not sorry.

I agree the Nick cgi abomination was awful (terrible animation, ugly 90's CGI and Kappaa relationship with human,eeww), but at least the toys looked nice (first wave which seems to be the better initial design that was made for classic animation). This however...pretty much trash. The vehicles are kinda cool and I may get them. I mostly disappointed by the fact we finnaly get back classic animation which is wasted on this awful thing and the fact that Mikey and Leo toys don't look feminine (hurray for new dumb Venus) like their cartoon counterparts which could've been the only good thing coming from this new series.

I have a feeling peoples opinions will change once they watch the cartoon and have them in hand. One thing is playmatea is not known for their photos to be collector friendly. So give em a chance is all I suggest.

[denali33x]

wow i actually like them a lot! i think the turtle redesigns are good, especially the new donatello. splinter looks terrible though, why did they design so "plump"?!

[Tomax]

Horrible, they don't even look like turtles. Who approved this design?

[MegaPrime33]

This is definitely the first TMNT line ever where I out rated disliked. The previous line, while I didn't collect any, I could still see it's appeal. But this new line is just awful imo. Makes me weep that they cancelled the classics line so quickly.

I have a trash can in my kitchen I can set fire to if I want to watch hot garbage that badly.

The trailer dropped last week and it is much worse than I could’ve anticipated. The animation style - not just the design - is truly awful

Another kiddie incarnation. Was hoping turtles would return. I thought the last nickelodeon was too kiddie. Nothing here to look forward to. What a waste. Will original fans ever get something good? I've always thought they could remove "teenage". Make something like the original 1990 movie. Then again I'm out of place in space and time.
