A sneak peek of the character designs for the Turtles and Shredder has surfaced online...
Unfortunately, at the request of Paramont pictures, we had to take down the images of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Shredder. By all accounts, these looked legitimate, and Paramount's reaction to the leak certainly indicates that they are. We are pleased to report, though, that we were more than pleasantly surprised by the look of the Turtles and Shredder, and despite all of the questionable issues that have surrounded this film from the start, these images were rather encouraging. You can read more about the film, including descriptions of the individual turtles, and a close look at the original script here: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie: Everything We Know
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be released on August 8th in the US, and October 17th in the UK.

shredder looks terrifying. but the turtles look like they did in that Out of the Shadows game
I like Shredder, but I am not sure how I feel about the turtles yet. I don't hate it though.
This looks a lot better than I was expecting. Have they said if the turtles are going to be CG or actual costumes?
Pretty sure they're CGI, as some production photos were released a while back showing the turtle actors in elaborate black and grey mocap suits. These small scale maquettes are really cool though!
I gotta say, I fucking hated that leaked halloween costume. It actually made me angry looking at it. But I'm actually pleasantly surprised. I'll reserve judgment for when I see them in action and hear them talk, but these images quell a little bit of my hatred. Shredder in particular looks badass. It's interesting that they chose to go with an american actor and change Oroku Saki's name to the phonetically similar Eric Sachs. I'm not sure why they didn't go with a Japanese actor, but I'm curious to see how the character is portrayed in the film.
Shredder's mask looks like Death from Darksiders 2.
This looks pretty damn awesome! Super excited now!
No, sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again.
