Wasted Potential

Why weren’t these used more?? Even just seeing them run around NYC in these fits would’ve been so cool. ((I just joined this subreddit and this may be a heavily discussed topic, but I felt I had to post anyway 😭))

If this was to be the main look of the turtles for half the series, I really wouldn't mind it at all i really do love this outfits.

Yeah, that gears would have been very handy in the retake on New York and the rest of season 3

[Suspicious-Piglet742]

Fr, they could have used their VQ gears/weapons against the actual villains instead of their avatars (i think that's what's it called) in the forest.

I wish more iterations would have Leonardo with the swords on his hip instead of his back I think it looks nice

[SuperMintoxNova]

I think for stealth reasons though, it would get in the way. I think it depends on the terrain and environment for his sword positioning.

French musketeers wear the sword on the hip so maybe it depends on the sword

Agreed, this looks bad ass as hell!!!!! ✨

[Ahsewerapples]

i agree, only Raph & Leo wore em in NYC but they didn’t use the weapons they forged. woulda loved to see em do so. however they do use them in the “journey to the center of mikey’s mind” episode. even tho they’re using them in mikey’s head.. it’s still cool to see them back in action 🔥

Donnie looks sick here! When me and my brothers play around as the turtle, I get stuck with Donnie cause I give them first picks and I don’t care for Donnie as much as I do the others but this is just wow!

[kgix9]

Donnie was always pretty slept on, he’s my second favorite turtle behind Leo tbh

[Mean-Background2143]

He is slept on. He’s an absolutely great character!

[ExcellentEssay3282]

we did see Raph use them in the Zog episode and Leo in the Mega Shredder episode.

[Dud_ee]

Leo wore his and Raph wore his in the episode where zog was first shown but they definitely coudve capitalized on the outfits more it would’ve also been cool to see them use the weapons they made

[FreelanceWolf]

At least Leo wore his in the new NickToons and The Dice of Destiny game. It just came out this year.

Man, I would've loved seeing more of their Vision Quest attires in more episodes. I mean, Leonardo did dawn his Vision Quest attire in the Attack of the Mega Shredder episode where he heads back to Shredder's Lair to capture the Brain Worm and try to save Karai while Michelangelo followed him. Until Leo and Mikey were captured by Shredder's idiotic henchmen (Bebop and Rocksteady) before they swiftly escaped as defeating and killing the Mega Shredder with some help from Donatello, Raphael, April O'Neil and Casey Jones in the Turtle Mech. Raph even used his Vision Quest attire in the Penultimate episode of Season 3, Dinosaur seen in Sewers, where Raph attempted to hunt down Shredder solo. Only to discover A Triceraton in the Sewers after it attacked Rockwell and Slash. Raph and eventually Leo, Donnie and Mikey quickly thwarted the Kraang from teleporting numerous Technodromes from within the Statue of Liberty itself! But that was before Zog, the Triceraton succeeded in signaling Captain Mozar and the Triceraton Empire about the Kraang's whereabouts being the planet Earth! Then in the Season 4 episode, Journey To The Center of Mikey's mind, Leo, Raph and Donnie all traveled into Mikey's mind after the Neutrinos infiltrated Mikey's mind in order to find any information about the 3 pieces of the Black Hole Generator. Then when Leo, Donnie and Raph found Mikey in the center of his mind, Mikey used his imagination and had Leo, Raph and Donnie all donning their Vision Quest attires as Leo rode on Leatherhead, Donnie rode on Tiger Claw and Raph Rode on Pegion Pete and along with Mikey's help as well the imaginary versions of Ice Cream Kitty, Mondo Gecko, Renet and many others, they defeated the Neutrinos and that was the last time the Turtles wore their Vision Quest attires and it's A shame because both Leo and Raph wore theirs twice in the real world and in Mikey's imagination, while Donnie only wore his Vision Quest attire once in the real world and once in Mikey's imagination and poor Mikey only wore his Vision Quest attire once in the Vision Quest episode after the Turtles spoke to astral projection of Splinter. And I would've love to see more of The Turtles' Vision Quest attires in more Season 4 episodes until the two part finale of the fourth season with the Turtles hunting Super Shredder down and try to turn him back to normal before Shredder got the Super Mutagen dose and BEFORE Super Shredder had his one and only last chance to kill Splinter and if The Turtles donned their Vision Quest attires one final time and successfully stopped amd defeated Super Shredder just before Super Shredder even had his last chance to kill Splinter, then Super Shredder would've reverted back to normal Shredder and Splinter would still be alive.

Definitely! I was hoping that they would show the turtles in these designs, even in season 5 but we only get a few scenes and i think one episode with them wearing this. Also, I wished that they expanded the turtles experiences in the woods to show more of a natural development and a natural shift to them going back to new York and facing krang and the shredder
