Catch Gonzo the Great at D-Streets August 19

The same day Disney fans from all over the world will be converging upon Anaheim for the D23 Expo, Gonzo will be making an appearance at D-Streets on both coasts. Gonzo has skills. By his side of course, will be his girlfriend Camilla. This 9" + 3" combo should be around for extended appearances as it's a LE 1500. Gonzo and Camilla were designed by Monty Maldovan and will retail for $74.95. Oh, and you can also find this Muppets 2 combo on Disney Store Online. Here's a look:

As with Sam the Eagle, Monty's placement of Gonzo's nose should give that 3D effect of it sticking out a bit. Too bad an exception wasn't made for Gonzo to stick his classic nose out more.

The cool thing about Muppets is they have so many different outfits you can put them in. That creates a long life for the Muppets series down the road. I like this choice for the Gonzo 9". He has his bow tie and flower. I look forward to still seeing some 3" Gonzos in future sets.

I think M.C. would agree, this 9" + 3" combo makes so much sense. Pairing Gonzo with his chicken girlfriend Camilla is perfect. I never understood this relationship as a kid watching the show. Camilla also fits nicely on the Mickey mold.
