It's the same photo just de-saturated. The one on The Collector Zone website is the same.

What I am really suprised is his height. I know that Gonzo has changed over time, but what about his height. I remember Travis's prototype picture of them all to gether and the photo's they guys have taken at Con and it seems that Gonzo is not actually 26". He looks morte like 22". Am I correct here or I wonder if they made him grew a little more.

Also, I noticed that Entertainment Earth finally has a photo up for him on there website, am I seeing colors or did they change the color of his suit for the website? I know it's the same photo we all have been seeing, but different color suit? I wonder what it is going to turn out when we get him.

Gonzo is supposed to be a fraction smaller than Kermit from what I've learned. The Kermit poser is a fraction smaller than the actual Kermit so I'd imagine Gonzo might com in a tad taller than Kermit here.

I'm eager to receive Gonzo the Great. Unfortunately, since I live in France, MR charges extremely high money for the shipping. Gonzo will cost me $ 255 only for the shipping ! I hope they will find other means of shipping to France.:smirk:

Hey Obi,

An announcement will be made with photos as soon as everything's ready. Stay tuned!

So let's all keep our fingers crossed! :concern:

I really cant see a reason for a wait on the photo.What does it really take them to be "ready" to pick up the phone or email the factory to get someone to take a picture of Gonzo and email it back? come on!

They've got to get that beautiful camera lense they used for Animal! LOL! I'm there with you. I'm thinking they want to have the product in their hands before snapping a photo. They made 2,500 blue weirdos. He needs a darn good picture (better than they've got now) to sell them all. :concern:

I'm just so anxious. It would be nice if they created a little countdown for the fella. Yes, I am an obsessed fan and proud of it. :flirt:

The only reason I can think of that they wouldn't post a new photo (they have to have gotten a newer prototype from the factory) is that he hasn't changed. I hope I'm wrong, I really do. I want him to be a great Great Gonzo, but it does seem odd that it's so difficult to take a pitcure. Even a crummy picture of a new prototype would be better than nothing.
