Joshua compared the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to another beloved property the Teen Titans, though not in a favorable way.

Some like Tempest071990 see the amazing potential for cool toys thanks to the new redesigns.

While the Turtles themselves are getting some flack, Black Nerd Problems is a big fan of April O'Neil's redesign.

For Menance013, it was better to let Michael Scott do the talking, and it seems he managed to convey the point.

Some are already seeing a pattern in the initial reactions to the new designs, including SonicBlueRanger.
Looking forward to everyone hating #Riseoftheteenagemutantninjaturtles off the art to love it and act like they never were angry about change. Just like last time.

Others are really happy with the cast of the show, including TheJoaninJonin, who is excited to see Omar Miller play the role of Raphael.
Big boy @OmarMiller is voicing Raphael, who will be the leader for the very first time this season.
This is already my favorite iteration. #RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles pic.twitter.com/RgfxfrAZhh

There's a lot of love for the new April O'Neil, but ShyeBean decided to tweak the character design a bit, giving her round glasses and changing her hair up a bit. Turns out we're big fans of both designs.
Wanted to give my own re-design a try for the new #apriloneil she’s awesome! But thought she needed some tweaking. #Riseoftheteenagemutantninjaturtles #RiseOfTheTMNT #Nickelodeontmnt #Nickelodeon #illustration #characterdesign pic.twitter.com/cRLJXEbh9x

The Flash Reborn is a big fan of the new designs and is hoping to see even more of them at ToyFair.

Splinter was also given some spotlight n the new promotional art for the show, but not everyone is a fan of his design.
Nope. Not happy!

These aren't turtles. They're abominations. And why is Splinter a mongoose? @TMNT @Nickelodeon #TMNT #Riseoftheteenagemutantninjaturtles https://t.co/TFDbZZmIvk

The designs are a bit divisive, but some fans are telling those displeased to hold out judgment until the initial episode airs.
"Dear #tmnt fandom who is displeased by the new design:
Please considered that it's a new show, with New elements but it does not change it in a very high level.
Please respect the directors, artists and writers who are working on the show.
Please remember that with the early show there was ranting and discuss because of the story plots.
Please remember that this show would be watched by your kids/little brothers and sisters/children you know.
Please respect the fans who DO like it; some of them could get really hurt by someone's harsh words.
And mostly, please, give a chance watching the first episode in September before to decide if you like it or not.
