Alf different colours?
Is it just me or is Alf's fur a different colour? Sometimes he's dark brown
And sometimes he's light brown and sometimes he's this orange color.

Re: Alf different colours?
I think its just the lighting. The brownish/orange shade of his fur does that for some reason.

Re: Alf different colours?
yeah, i think it just the lighting too.I've had trouble figuring out his fur color too. for that reason, even the people who did the cartoon and comics at trouble keeping his fur color consistent. in the cartoon it's more of a light brown and in the comics he's goes from dark brown to more or an orange color.
let's face it, I'm unforgettable!

Re: Alf different colours?
Here's a good example: Look at Ninjadragon5's ALF profile pic, then look at mine. His has much more lighting, and he looks more orange, as it is from the sitcom. As for mine, it's from Project: ALF which really didn't have much of any lighting, and ALF looks more brown.

Re: Alf different colours?
Maybe Melmacians change fur color when they grow a new coat after shedding.
ALF: I had a cousin. Pretty Boy Shumway. If he didn't like your shoes...
[imitating gun sound] "ak-ak-ak-ak-ak."
Willie: He'd shoot a person because he didn't like his shoes?
ALF: No. He'd just point at you and go, "Ak-ak-ak-ak-ak."

Re: Alf different colours?
HA! yeah, good example, in my profile pic is looks more orange, and in ALFreak's pic he looks dark brown and in ilovealf88's pic he looks light brown, but recent pics of him look a little different from him in the 80s, makes me wonder if they use a different puppet now.

Re: Alf different colours?
That's something i've really been wondering about! Here's an example (2 in 1 thread) : look at the 80s ALF's nose holes in the sitcom; they are the same size and everything. Now look at more recent photos of him, like the ones in the logo above (the ALFtv one). If oyu look closely, his nose holes seem to be two different sizes!Ninjadragon5 wrote: but recent pics of him look a little different from him in the 80s, makes me wonder if they use a different puppet now.
Maybe they made a new puppet for Alfs hit talk show, because i'm sure by the time it was in production, the old ALF puppet had deteriorated quite a bit.

Re: Alf different colours?
yeah, I did notice that, could just be an optical illusion of the eye, but one nostril does look a little bigger then the other. plus I notice the hair on his head is a little straighter and neater and not as messy looking as it did in the 80s. I would suspect, unless the puppet was kept in persistent condition, that the puppet would degrade after so many years of unuse, especially with the animatronic parts in alf's head.

Re: Alf different colours?
Also notice how ALF looks a little different in front view pictures of him more recently. Above in the logo, his eyes seem to be more pushed down, where in yours, Ninjadragon5, his eyes are more up. I also noticed how neat his fur looks now; especially his eyebrows. The matting on his hands also seem to be more noticable in recent photos too. Really makes you wonder... how many ALFs are there

Re: Alf different colours?
I too have noticed that, but have no answer. Ask ALF question perhaps?

Re: Alf different colours?
Heeeeeyyy....even Alf has a bath sometimes. (With or without the mixer/whisk).
I don't want to be an orphan. I saw "Annie." Orphans have to eat gruel and tap dance with mops.

Re: Alf different colours?

Re: Alf different colours?
Well, it seems he's now going a bit grey on top.
