Oh by the way, my Gonzo was number 00013. How freakin' cool is that?:D

Thanks for the nice comments Luke. In all sincerity, I think I spent less than 30 minutes on him. I think the reason Anthony gave him more marks off for the eyes is that, in person, the nose isn't nearly as big of a deal as the eyes. The nose is really not as bad as it appears to be in...

Incredible review and pics Anthony! I would really like to be able to click on the 360 turnaround to see a larger version! I also really like the flower you used in his suit!

Major kudos and sincerest apologies to MR. Gonzo rocks! He's much better than I had anticipated and quite a deal better in person than in pictures. I have made a few alterations: (1) just taking off his suit jacket made a world of difference to me. IMO it doesn't fit quite right. Once the...

I have Kermie, Animal and Gonzo should be here tomorrow. It sounds more likely to me (from Travis' comments) that MR had already been struggling with the nose issue and exhausted too much time and $ on the issue already when Disney suggested the stocking material cover-up. At that point, I'm...

Her KermieBaby, what'd you do to get Animal's hair so perfect? My Animal doesn't seem to have as much hair on the back of his head as yours does. You've got him looking PERFECT.

I'm dying to find a checkered suit for the blue weirdo, but multiple searches have found nada.

They have those sales pretty frequently. Try doing a search for "disneyshopping coupon" and see if anything current comes up. If not, they'll probably run the sale again in the next couple of weeks.

In a heartbeat.

After playing around in Photoshop, it really does look like the bones are here for a good Gonzo. Moving the pupils, trimming the fur around his eyes and coloring the eyelid shell make a world of difference. If we can just figure a way to cover the nose with a different application, this little...

Hey Travis, you'll probably never see this post (I imagine it will be burried a hundred posts back by the time you get back on) but the statement about MR not listening to people complaining about the nose really wasn't a knock on the company (parenthasize again! and no, I'm not just trying to...

Kevin, obviously MR isn't going to send out replacement parts. I think Jamie's statement was more meant to say that they should be redoing the pupil placement and was somewhat sarcastic that they should at the least send us additional pupils. As for your other statements, I couldn't disagree...

The above reply was before Travis'. Now I gotta chime in on what Travis said! Big props to Travis for putting up with us. The worst part about all of this is that we vetch because we care. None of us are piling on MR just to pile on them. I think I speak for everyone when I say we truly only...

I agree with you Jamie 100%. The thing that has bothered me the most about Animal and Gonzo is that they're just so darned close – just a little more tweaking would have made them almost as good as Terry's protos. While Gonzo may look WAY off, Jamie's PS fixes show how close he really could have...

I don't want to continue to bag on the weirdo – he's obviously "challenged." I am curious though, why his eyes appear to be such a weird shape! The actual puppet's eyes are much more round, but these appear to be, well, not. Jamie's PS alterations really give me hope for him. At least...

Jamie, you're alterations make all the difference in the world. For you puppet making people out there: is there something that can be sprayed or added to the nose that will give it more of that "muppety" texture? Obviously, it would have to be re-airbrushed but I winder if there's some sort...

****, that's my worst nightmare! If they just pulled them out, you should be able to pop 'em back in. I was at an art store yesterday and saw some thin feathers that would work but they'd need to be dyed. Perhaps MR could still get some from the factory? I highly doubt it, but you never...

I'm really disappointed that his nose is still covered in that "stocking-style" material, but I'll hold off on my final opinion until I see him in person. If the rest of his likeness is good, it will be hard to send him back just due to the material of the nose. Still, I'm a bit nervous.

Man Travis, it is absolutely awesome that you are taking the time to come on here and answer questions! Thanks in advance for stepping up to the plate and taking time out of your busy schedule. Hopefully, you'll be rewarded by many more sales of Muppet-ty goodness!

Perfect point. It would take SO little time and energy to reach a huge percentage of their potential customers. I don't know of too many opportunities where you can say the same thing.
