Thanks to an upcoming book titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History, fans can now take their best look at Master Splinter and Shredder from the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. The book pays tribute to the many years that the Turtles have been around and shows off the various designs that they have had in different media. It also shares concept art from the upcoming film. Before we take a look at the photos let's take a look at the description of the book.

"Discover the complete story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the first time–from their humble beginnings in black-and-white comics created in a home studio in Dover, New Hampshire, to their multimillion-dollar breakout success, and their position as four of the best-loved characters of all time. 

Featuring interviews with every key figure in the Turtles’ evolution, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History presents the tale straight from the mouths of those who were there, including co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, animation legend Fred Wolf, creature effects maestro Brian Henson, and even the man behind the “Ninja Rap,” Vanilla Ice. 

In visually stunning detail, this book explores each iteration of the Turtles from the past to the present, including the hit animation show from Nickelodeon and the Michael Bay–produced live-action movie from Paramount starring Megan Fox. Bringing together the rarest art and artifacts from three decades of TMNT comics, TV shows, and films, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Visual History leaves no shell unturned!"

Below you'll see that Master Splinter has kept his iconic look and looks absolutely amazing. Below him you'll see the villainous Shredder who looks down right terrifying. It looks like every inch of this costume can kill you! It'll be interesting to see on the big screen and how Shredder uses it in combat.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be in theaters on August 8, 2014.
