Personally, I'd be willing to give a little on the "total twistability" of his nose, as long as we can fiddle with it a little to give him expression.. and I'd be willing to let them get away with not using the proper foam, as long as it looks close, and good.,...
my big worry is that they aren't going to get this figured out and we won't get him.. and even worse.. we won't get Piggy, cuz they're going to have the same problem with her head.. (which, come on, they flock to look like fleece anyway, so just use fleece, I say.....)
