Are These the New NINJA TURTLE Movie Character Designs?

Here's a low resolution photo featuring what CBM claims are the final designs for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie character designs. The photo of the maquettes come from someone "close to the production." There's no confirmation that these are legit designs, but they do look pretty cool, and they are the kind of designs that I would expect to see in a Michael Bay production. I hope they're are legit, because they look like some pretty hardcore ninja turtles. I've also include some set photos of a crazy looking Shredder below, and a better look at Leonardo and Donatello. 

The Jonathan Liebesman-directed film is based on the characters created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman. It stars Megan Fox as April O'Neil, Alan Ritchson as Raphael, Jeremy Howard as Donatello, Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Noel Fisher as Michelangelo, Will Arnett as Vernon Fenwick, Danny Woodburn as Master Splinter, and William Fichtner as the villain Shredder.

The movie hits theaters on August 8th, 2014. For more information on the characters in the film, click here.
