  2. @Adam – yup, I noticed that too. Not sure how I feel about it yet. If it’s just for the promo pic, it won’t matter obviously. But as a permanent change to Mikey’s weapon of choice, it could still work for the character. Would give him more range and reach in combat. And it’s still “chain-based,” lol.

    Other things I noticed:

    Hand and feet proportions seem bigger, ala the older designs and concepts. Like real turtles. 😀

    Bandaging on the hands and feet, which is great since real boxers and MMA guys all do this. If you fight all the time, it’s pretty much required. I like that the TMNT have adopted this look as well. Suggests a harder slant to this take all over again.

    Belts and straps look bigger, more Mirage-esque to me. Again, very nice.

    The weapons have a very rustic and worn look and feel to them, like they’ve actually been FIGHTING with them, lol. I loooooove this touch!

    The overall look seems to be nodding to the IMAGI style, only a little grittier, without losing the facial touches that make each turtle who they are. Good stuff.

    VERY STOKED FOR THIS!!!
