Seth Rogen's animated TMNT movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, is set to hit theatres this August, so a first trailer shouldn't be too far off.

In the meantime, we have a first look at some of the revamped character designs courtesy of a range of tie-in action figures.

Leaked concept art has given us some idea of how the four Turtles, Leonardo, Donatello, Rafael and Michaelangelo, will look, but these images provide a much more detailed glimpse. They also feature Splinter, Bebop, Rocksteady, Leatherhead, and Superfly, who may or may not be a take on classic TMNT villain Baxter Stockman.

Check them out while you can, because we're not sure how long they'll stay online!

Plot details are still under wraps, but Rogen has previously said that he intends to emphasize the "teenage" aspects of the Turtles. While the teen/coming-of-age elements have obviously been explored in previous incarnations, it's never really been the main focus, so this could prove to be an intriguing approach.

The awesome foursome have starred in several features at this stage, with the most recent being the moderately successful (from a financial standpoint, at least) movies from Paramount and Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes. They previously appeared in animated form in Warner Bros.' 2007 adventure, TMNT.

Fans still regard the original 1990 film to be the best of the bunch, however.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was directed by Jeff Rowe (The Mitchells vs. the Machines) and written by Brendan O’Brien (Neighbors)

Those turtles look very young in the box artwork. While they're usually portrayed or at least look like late teens, more middle-school than high-school. They all seem to mostly stick with their usual design, aside from some added details and equipment and Raph's now standard full-head mask.

Splinter seems to keep being where the designers are braver when redesigning the main cast. Rocksteady looks wild with that head design.
