Here's my first pics of Animal , I haven't really done any tweaking yet, besides taming the hair a little, altho I must admit, I prefer it wild, reminds me more of earlier Animal.
As far as i'm concerned, he IS Animal, he looks awesome, and as everyone else has been saying the more you look at him the more amazing he looks, I seriously can't take my eyes off him!

So anyone who hasn't bought him yet, go get him , otherwise, we might not be able to have Gonzo and Fozzie and then hopefully Piggy, and that would be a tragedy! :big_grin:

Sorry some of the pics are a little blurry, I just rushed these ones, to get them on here , but no doubt i'll spend plenty more hours taking pics of him.

Any doubts I had about Gonzo are pretty much gone, it's just so amazing to be able to own these, even if i'll be flat broke by the end of it, and my girlfriend may disown me! :wink:

oh man.. all these photos have made me want one after all...
but.. don't think it's going to be an option for a bit longer... all the money we would have spent on one just got spent at the vet's office instead... *sigh* ah well.. maybe next year..


(Pepe - our little pomeranian- is better now though, so we're happy about that..she had some sort of odd not quite seizure thing going on earlier this week...and though we still dont know what caused it, they've stopped them..)

UPDATE:

Just got my first prototype done for the remake of his Tongue. I am going to work on another one. It has not been dyed yet, but that will be next after the second prototype tongue is finished. Here is a couple of photo's, hope you guys like them. I was REALLY scared to work with the foam, but now I am feeling more confortable with it!
What color are you going to paint it? Will it be a little redder? Would you recommend others taking out the tongue?

Well according to Terry, he said that the color is Rit Pink Rose, but for some reason, I am seeing different. I am waiting on his reponse to see what he says. I am not really sure whay color to do it as of yet. I want it the true color it originally is. As for advising people to tear out there tongues? That is all up to you. If you feel capable in doing this knowing that it is going to take you time to know how you want it, I say go for it. But if you are not confortable doing so, just leave it as is. I took sculputure classes and I felt confortable doing it. It took me over an hour just to do one, but I knew it was going to take time. I am happy with my second outcome of his tongue here is the second version:

That new tongue is awesome MC! I may have to follow suit when I get the time. For now I just cut out a flat tongue from a foamie sheet. It suffices for when his mouth is closed, but that's hardly ever so his fat tongue stays in most of the time.

Anybody else get their MR Animal recently? I just really can't stop staring at him!
