If you guys recall, Manhattan Toy released Fraggle Rock plushies, and based on most reactions, they're a mixed bag. I happened to have gotten my hands on Mokey (Y'know, the one who retailers didn't want Sababa ro produce? ) recently from Amazon, and I feel I should let other guys who don't have her yet know if it's worth the investment.
First off, I am impressed by her size. It may be a stretch, but she may be actual size in comparison to the puppet. She feels very soft on both her skin and robe/cardigan/coat/whatever you want to call it. Her mouth, compared to other fraggle plushies, can actually be made to stay a bit closed instead of gaping open like previous ones.
Needless to say, there are a few flaws. First of all, her complexion is a bit light compared to her puppet counterpart. Also, her tail is a bit on the short side. Same goes for her hair, which they were a tiny bit stingy on it, but they could have done worse. The only other flaw is probably an error that can be fixed, but the way her eyes are positioned in accordance to the stuffing in the head make her look a bit googly eyed. As I said, this can be fixed.
All in all, though not perfect, Mokey will make a great addition to any Fraggle/Muppet/Henson collection. I'll end by saying this, the plush in real life is WAY better than the stock image. I will be getting the other Manhattan Toy fraggles and I will let you know if I have the same sentiment with them as I have with Mokey. I'll go ahead and give you a clue on who's next....
Overall score-7.8/10
