      @ThomasAndTheTankRailway.I.N.C Před 5 měsíci +3

      I know this answer is 9 years late, but here you go. In the footage from the left, Billy bob has the “heavy eyebrows/90s version of his mask, and it was changed out afterwards in favor of his usual mask. (As shown in the footage from the right). And this was done because the “heavy eyebrows/90s” Billy bob mask was sculpted with a defect, as the mouth was very shallow, and the mask tore very quickly, hence, its replacement.

      +The DerpingProfessor All characters exist since the 80s. This is just a mini stage only with 3 characters.

    Mitzi's mask is getting pulled down every time her mouth opens...

    • @bobbluh2650
      @bobbluh2650 Před 9 lety

      Yeah. I think over time her mask hardened and the snaps on the sides of her mask that attach it to the fiberglass skull tore off, thus giving the mask no support, save for the fur thats glued on holding it there and where its attatched to her mouth clevis.
