Hey, the Gonzo MR has a thin knit fabric stretched around his nose and outside of his mouth. Does anyone know if the real Gonzo is like this?

From looking at pictures I would say that part of him is not constructed the same way.

I originally thought it was covered in Antron fleece. But some times it just looks like just the foam painted.

I know all of these options would work to make a replica. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what his nose is actually made of.

Thanks,

The original Gonzo was carved out of a block of foam, so his original nose is foam painted.

The reason MR did it this way was because foam decays too rapidly. This way you can enjoy your MR Gonzo for your whole lifetime without his nose decaying into dust :concern:

Kemit, by the way, appears to be about an inch taller than Gonzo.
