I, Monster! Tales of the TMNT! Classic! I can't see this series adapting the story as well as the 4Kids series did, though.

Looks cool, though.

I'm very open to most changes and even I think thsi is a bit of a liberty. Rat King was just a normal dude with psychic powers.

Looks like a reject Grim Reaper. But, cool looking.

Works for me and looks cool. The original was OK in terms of design, this looks like some thought actually went into it.

Ror, I get what you mean but that's not saying he's still not just a normal dude. The guy lives in the sewers talking to rats his whole life he should look the part instead of a WWE reject.

For a NICK show it's ok, but I'd rather read the comics.

Stublin, he's a skeleton..how can that be a normal dude?

I didn't want the exact image above, but an updated take on it would have been nice.

I trust this show enough to give this interpretation a chance.

I watched the first two episodes of this. It was decent. How has it been since then?

Neat! Nice to see that Dr. Falco wasn't a one-shot villain.

The Rat King was always my favorite character and I'm sorry, THIS is NOT The Rat King. He reminds me of when they re did the Scarecrow in the last season of the Batman the Animated Series. All he's missing is the noose around his neck. This is just horrible.

Ror, he doesn't look like a skeleton to, I see skin, I see malnourished I see sickly

Sure he's got a missing nose but so did Michael Jackson...oh wait.
