UPDATE:
It appears the studio has shut down the leaked images online, as many sites that previously featured the production stills have now pulled them (being replaced with a removal notice). We will bring you more on this story as it breaks.
Original Story:
There has been a ton of speculation over the last several months regarding exactly what the latest iteration of the Turtles would look like in the upcoming reboot. Today, we finally get a real glimpse.
As you can see in the image of above, the heroes in a half shell will look far different than any version we’ve seen in the past. Bulky and tougher than ever, it’s apparent that the design concept has moved away from four Turtle clones with slightly different colored bandanas. Each character has their own unique style and is decked out in their own persona-specific gear.
While Leonardo appears to be wearing a make-shift bamboo vest (in keeping with his Samurai swords motif), Raphael sports a slightly different look than his brothers as his bandanas completely cover his head. Not as much can be seen regarding Mikey’s specifics, but Donatello looks as if he will actually incorporate some high-tech gadgets into his fighting style; a new twist on what we’ve seen from the techno-turtle in the past.
