My Complete Gonzo Replica Review

[Newton Gimmick]

So I run a little website where I do toy reviews, etc...

Well I finally got my hands on a Gonzo (that doesn't sound right!) and I've got a full review up with over 50 pictures from opening the package right down to display. Plenty to check out and I figured you guys would get a kick out of it

So if you're interested please check out the full review here: http://www.infinitehollywood.com/2009/09/gonzo-replica-muppet-review.html

Thanks for reading! And thanks for this great community to discuss and learn about these replicas.

That is a very kind review.

This Gonzo is one of my favorite Muppet items, but not a 10/10 right out of the box IMHO. However, once I fixed the wandering eyes (easy to do) he's gotten pretty darn close to that.

I supported MR by purchasing Gonzo from them for the full SRP of $299 at the time of release and have no problem criticizing the nose-sock, but I've adjusted to it over time. If not for alpha collectors that complain about such discrepancies the secondary market would be bare. It will be interesting to see how EFX does on the manufacturing front.

Cool review, but I still prefer MC's official one for it's details. Still, I'll check out your site for updates about items in the future.

Thanks for the feedback. My 10/10 score comes with the value added in. Had I paid original retail for it, I probably would have knocked a couple points off. For what I paid, it's a definite 10 to me.

I'm also probably not as hardcore as some Muppet fans out there, so I won't be as overly critical as some. Of course I tend to be pretty critical of anything I spend my money on, naturally.

I should note, I think the eyes are pretty good on mine. One eye seems a tad more off than the other, but it's not enough for me to feel the need to "fix" it. I know many people did.

Thanks again.
