Hello, I was wondering if anyone elses Gonzo says "Artist Proof" under the Limited edition type on the metal display plate? No edition number just "Artist Proof".

I like the flocking. I'm glad somebody finally tried it, but I still prefer the current nose the poser came with. It's not perfect but it doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would.
My thoughts exactly. If Gonzo ever goes on a massive sale, I may consider getting another one and doing this too. But, I really like his nose the way it is (and I thought I would hate it).

I just painted Gonzo's bottom lip pink and it makes a big difference. I didn't think it would. It's not that striking, but it gives more familiar character to the face. I'll post pictures soon. :concern:

yeah, I like it so much, I've started wearing L'eggs ultra sheer over my own nose.

i agree also, i think i prefer the stocking nose - the flocked nose makes it look just too solid. Also the one colour (which is way too dark) looks weird. kudos for trying it but i am leaving mine as is :concern:

Hey UK fans,

The collector zone has now changed the date again, it is now expected on 21/3/08. Thats two weeks from today, and also Good Friday, so probably no deliveries due to the bank holiday, then Easter Monday so we may get him in the week after Easter?

Bummer!

At this rate we may end up having to fork out for the bear at the same time as Gonzo. :stick_out_tongue:

I feel bad for you, my UK friends! :frown:

The flocked nose does look cool, but the sock isn't as bad as the pictures make it look.
Looking at my Gonzo now, his bottom lip already looks like it's kinda pink. I"m confused.
