I am all for anything Fraggle in the marketplace, but I am rather disappointed with this one. One of the main things that bothers me is his coloring. Sprocket appears to be a brown/biege mix on the show. This plush looks gray and makes him look like he aged about 30 years. I am also not quite sure why they designed him in a sitting position. I have to agree with Hoopless on this one... It does look like a nice dog plush, just not a Sprocket one.

Sprocket arrived today in the post.

As a plush he is great, as a likeness of Sprocket, Not so good.

He is a grey color, and the white bits on his face, chest and feet are also light grey, and they should be white.

He is floppy and loveable though, I dont regret buying him so it cant be too bad!

The piccy on the wiki is a no-worky! :big_grin:

Chris, do you have a pic of the one you bought? I'll probably just end up making one myself, but it's always nice to have the 'just buy one' option, lol.

Cheers,
Anthony

Oh, thanks Chris!

Well... here's pretty much what I think exactly:
I got all excited when I saw "New Sprocket available" but then I saw the picture. It's a real shame because it looks like quite a nice dog plush. Just not a Sprocket one.
They should just call him "Grampa Dog", or something, lol.

Oh well, like I said earlier, I'll probably just end up making one myself like almost every other character I love that doesn't have any good plush representations available. :sympathy:
