I'll post some photos later of the original shoes compared to the later shoes. Not sure how the hat is attached .. it doesn't budge at all (not even enough to peek under it). I hate to disassemble this clown, but I am dying to know what his innards look like. I think it might have the white plastic torso after all, you can barely see it under the foam at the neckline.
billy - What kind of wig did you get? I was looking at 3" shag craft fabric the other day thinking that might work (color would have to be dyed, nothing I found was just the right yellow-orange color of the movie clown).
I wish I knew what kind of fabric was on this clown. Reminds me of life protector material, although it's got a ribbed texture. Not as thick as the newer clowns, but stiff enough to hold its shape anyway.
BTW - I updated the first post of this thread to have links to the posts with Blu-ray screen captures and the Custom Displays info/articles. I find myself looking back at those frequently (esp. the screen captures), so it's a handy shortcut.
