Yeah, the Tux Gonzo shown on the Palisades homepage in the Bits section looks good. He looks kinda cartoony from the front still but the side shots look really nice. I'm glad they're going to retool that nose colour. Way too green I think. What does anyone else think of Camilla??

I like what they are trying to do with the nose color. This will never be perfect for everyone. But what it does is gives Gonzo's nose more definition. The Sideshow bust of Gonzo was great except for the nose color. I'm just glad they are not making it a solid blue. The solid blue or more solid color combinations distract from the other texturization the figure has. I also like that they are repositioning the hair closer to his head. Its just amazing to have so many great representations of Gonzo in less than a years time when we went decades without one. That last part was a dramatization.

LOL!! Sarcasm always pays off.

I like what Palisades does with the figures until they are made to do it a different way. I like the mixed colors on his nose, it reminds me more of Gonzo.

Wasn't the very FIRST Gonzo-Frackle made with a very light-blue nose? Maybe that's what JHC gets stuck on when adding the colorizations to the characters.

I also like the 'plumes' on top of his head better now, too.

Only thing I really hope is that before he's made Pepe's eyelids come down some, more toward his pupils.
