If those are the real designs then I'm mostly positive. The pink one is terminally boring. Change the haircut and you have Cure Heart or Whip in a new costume. She's sooo generic. The other 3 though I like a great deal. The blue cure is more teal than really blue, so that's a nice change. The yellow one has a dark skin which is ground-breaking for the franchise and really welcome after 16 seasons. Cure purple is really cute and it would be nice if wasn't mature and special unlike all the previous purple cures.
I actually think all of the costumes are lackluster, which is a shame. Even when there's no coherent theme between them (like in HUGtto!), the costumes look very nice. I'm not a big fan of the stripes-on-plain-background look of the teal and yellow Cures. Also, the mascot doesn't look very good. Its head is too wide.
That being said, I do like the fact that they have a teal Cure. That hasn't been done before, to my knowledgel. I think they tried the approach with Cure Parfait, but they just got a light blue Cure who was labelled green. Plus, I like that they're dialing back the hair for a change and making it more realistic. I like weird hair, but it's refreshing to have a hairstyle a normal person could do for a change. The yellow Cure's hair is definitely the prettiest.
