Yeah...I held off on any final opinions of Gonzo until some detailed pics were posted. My conclusion is he is NOT worth the price, so I cancelled my pre-order. Most of these fans know that this is the best thing they will ever get so they are happy. I think that's great. But myself being an...

Each replica comes with it's own stand.

Brutal! I love how the inside of the mouth is some kind of open cel foam. Why couldn't they of done the whole face with that stuff? So basically the inside of the mouth will go bad one day? But the pantyhose will last a lot longer? Ha Ha. It looks like an expensive doll. Not a replica.

They are hard to find. I got real lucky one day. I was at a foam and upholstery shop near where I live. I saw a ton of reticulated foam sheets and blocks in a corner. I asked the salesman how much and he said that some guy ordered those to use for some filtration system and never picked them up...

Haha...ummm yeah...It's pretty bad. I had started a reticulated foam Gonzo head last year that turned out perfect. Being a sculptor professionally, it was not too difficult. I did massive ammounts of research on fur materials and such, down to the dyed ultra suede tongue. I was sent fur samples...

Yikes...:concern: Aside from some color changes, he looks the same as the proto I saw at Comic Con. Yes the stocking nose is very visible in person. It's not just a flash issue. I am going to stay open minded though and wait until he arrives. I am commited to buying every single Muppet...

Thanks Travis! Now we can all sleep a bit better at night! Ha! But seriously, your time is much appreciated.:)

I would sure love to know what the final piece is going to look like...and what material they ended up using for the face.:concern:

You are right...He never had ankle or wrist restraints in any of the movies or as far as I know, the Muppet Show. That was a feature that was added to the toys and t-shirt images over the years. ...Got my Animal replacement this week. He is as he should be. I am very pleased.

It is the same casting and color of the original tongue but the material is a foam not the harder vinyl. There is also no full bottom mouth plate. Only a small metal plate under the tongue. It does not look right because the black fabric inside the mouth has nothing to anchor to. Inside the...

No...My original Animal had an upper and lower plastic plate in the mouth (like Kermit). I had pre-ordered mine so I was shipped out off the first run. You couldn't close the mouth but the black fabric inside had something to stretch over so it was tight and flat. Now there is no bottom plate in...

I had returned my Animal because the hair was unfinished on one side...I got my replacement today and the hair looks great but they changed the design of the mouth. The tongue is foam now and there is a metal plate under the tongue so the mouth can be moved slightly. But the problem is...there...

Great job MC! Looks awesome!

That looks awesome! I am soooo doing that! Maybe a soft foam tongue with a bit of velcro on the botton would stick right in there?

Yeah...MR could have done some kind of mold, injected foam into it and then coated it to last. It would not have been movable but it would have looked great. I used to work in FX. There are plenty of ways to go about replicating something like that. It would just be cost prohibitive. Look at...

Got mine today at 1pm! I am very happy with it. I'll give you all a quick wrap up....The box is nice with Animal artwork and such. Similar to Kermit's. It is the same size box. Getting him out takes a few minutes...be careful. The pupils look better and smaller than they did at CC. He is put...

That photo is photoshopped...look at the color of his nose...

I agree...We all need to do our part and start some sort of petition or at least just follow up emails. We have to stay on top of them about the changes. They are a busy group of people, and sometimes dollar signs and deadlines take precedence over fans....especially when working with Disney...

Nice tweak to the pupils KermieBaby! I don't know why MR can't ever get the pupils right. The eyes are the MOST IMPORTANT feature to a good likeness. Gonzo does look a tad better than the proto at Comic Con....but he is not there yet. I am very curious to see the final MR website pics.

Amazing work as usual Terry! :) Let's hope that China doesn't mess this one up too.
