From Epcot35 today. I think this is the first time they've been seen in Epcot! They're the standard heads too, not articulated. Has there been a rollout for WDW and Epcot 's birthday, can anyone confirm?

The company that makes them (Heads, Tales and Hands, Inc.) has fallen behind in their production schedule due to an unforeseen demand for Tom Cruise fake posteriors:

Just curious here..Do you have a closeup of Maui on this Ice show? I know that at times they will have a different costume be used at the parks compared to the live & Ice shows....As the one in the above photo looks more flexible in his moveability whereas the one in the parks...Looks very bulky...

Definitely more flexible and not as bulky. I saw a couple videos on YouTube

I recently saw a tweet about another update to a “classic” character. Any ideas who? Pluto or Goofy would be my guess.

Can you please provide us a link to the tweet? I would guess the same characters too, but maybe there are more hints to who it is if we look at the account as a whole.

Maybe Chip and Dale since their current look has been in use since 1981. Link to that btw?

Personally, I don't think Chip and Dale need much work despite being in use for over 35 years. All they need is the more realistic fur distribution like on the articulated heads and they'll be fine.

That being said, however, an upgrade of any scale would be welcome.

I think a good upgrade to Chip and Dale is by giving their mouth the color white and making Dale's nose colored rose red instead of dark brownish and give Dale hair fluff on his head. And their ears can be moved a bit.

I'm going for a look like these Chip and Dale nutcrackers spotted at Hollywood Studios recently. Knowing how Mickey and Minnie just got a new looker that looks more like their cartoon counterpart. Then maybe Chip N Dale should look like this in the future. They look much cuter that way.

Yes!!! To be honest, I thought the exact same thing as you did when I saw those nutcrackers. The more I think about it, the more perfect they would look as character heads.

I'm going to speculate the new heads for the old characters if the post is legit could debut for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
