Originally Posted By Dabob2 The appearance HAS changed, though... through the 90's you'll see that the smile is simple half-moon, and the chin is almost a plainly round shape as well. Today both the chin and mouth are, well, different.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "p.s. Posters like you make this site so great" Just saw this. Why thank you! I appreciate that.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I definitely prefer the rounded chin to the chin that goes down to a point. You know who he reminds me of with the pointy chin?

Second, I never really noticed the floral Mickey change, and what's funny is that he's gotten way off-model. Considering it's easy these days to create things that are even more on-model than ever before (see any new Mickey plush compared to vintage ones); it's surprising that the floral Mickey got worse. I think the original version that lasted up until 2004 was very cute, and looked exactly like his cartoon intro face...and the one that's on "Mickey's Fun Wheel" now. I'm not sure why they got all creepy-clown with the current version.

LOL... no, it's a scary clown that has a disturbing resemblance to the current DL Mickey floral. The flower bed looks a lot less freakish from a birds eye view: <a href="http://goo.gl/maps/UKXkI" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/maps/UKXkI</a>
