🌱Mokey Fraggle and Lanford 🌱
I don't like the redesign either, but after I heard the producers explain why I kind of understand it? Mokey was always meant to be older than her friends, and you can see that through her design. She's much bigger, she has live hands, softer eyes, a grandma style cardigan, and more muted colors. When they pitched a reboot, Apple TV thought that Mokey looked a little too old (i disagree, but whatever). They wanted her to feel less like the other characters' mom and more childlike. That's why they turned up the saturation, changed her hair, gave her rod arms, and a new costume (I actually do really like her necklace with all the little trinkets on it I think that's cute)
Once again, I much prefer the original Mokey. She's soft and sweet, and I just want to give her a hug. I understand why they had to give her a redesign, I just wish it wasn't so dramatic of a change. She doesn't really look like Mokey anymore and that's sad.
I still love the new show. I think it's really amazing and it keeps the spirit of the original show. I'm excited for season 2.
Okay I’m going to bitch about the Fraggle Rock reboot and how much I hate the way the redesigned Mokey
DISCLAIMER: if you like or even live the reboot, that’s so so valid and I love that for you. I’m not here to tell you what and what not to enjoy. Love what you love. Live your best life
That being said
and can’t stand the reboot’s redesign of Mokey. Now, I haven’t seen the reboot, and I don’t plan too. But there’s just one thing that makes me fucking furious, and that’s Mokey’s redesign.
I hate it.
“But Zeke, “hate” is a strong word, you can’t find it that bad can you?”
I can and I will. as far as I’m concerned, that isn’t Mokey. Mokey would NEVER look like that. NEVER.
this redesign doesn’t even look like her! If I didn’t know better I’d think it was a completely different character! They took everything I loved about Mokey and ruined it
The colors are the most egregious to me. They took Mokey’s soft pastel colors and cranked up the saturation. And they don’t even look good together, they aren’t even appealing.
and like. She doesn’t even fit in with her friends anymore, she sticks out like a sore thumb. OG Mokey fit right in, but Reboot Mokey just doesn’t. She feels like she’s from a different show.
AND NO ONE ELSE GOT REDESIGNED, SO WHY DID MOKEY??? HER DESIGN WAS JUST FINE
secondly they gave her a dress and that makes me want to maim someone. I LIKED HER WIZARD CARDIGAN. SHE LOOKED NONBINARY AND AS A NONBINARY PERSON I LIKED THAT A LOT. It’s like they gave her a dress to say “look she’s a girl. Because girls wear dresses. And so she has to wear one”. I know Nonbinary people can wear dresses but it just feels weird to me as a nonbinary person who relates a lot to Mokey and gets dysphoria from dresses.
also they took away the stoned wizard vibe of the og and made her look like a TikTok white girl and I HATE IT. Mokey is a stoner wizard, not a TikTok girl.
and if you look at the redesign you would never in a million years guess what her personality was supposed to be. She looks like a peppy cottagecore type, not her actual dreamy artist with an egotistical streak. And that’s bad character design imo. You can tell everyone’s personality by looking at them EXCEPT FOR HER. OG Mokey looked like she would be dreamy and artistic, and she IS.
All in all they took away every design element that made Mokey,, Mokey and it makes me so fucking mad so I have done what I must and said “the reboot isn’t Fraggle Rock. It isn’t part of the series I love. It’s its own thing, NOT Fraggle Rock” because im not letting it get in the way of enjoying Fraggle Rock.
(Deep breath) it’s not very good. I don’t like it
Thanks for reading my unhinged rant 👍

Actually I did a try to be raggedy Ann from Raggedy Ann and Andy: a musical adventure, but then I remarked that I sounded closer to Mokey Fraggle than Raggedy Ann

Fraggle Rock fans pls help🥺
I saw this image when I was online looking for Fraggle Rock merch to buy when I saw this design on sweat pants (hot topic).
I think all the images represents a character, and I'm stumped on a few of them.
I wanted help trying to identify what character is represented by which image!
Here's what guess I have so far:
The two helmets are doozers (idk if anyone specific, it's not Carter Pin)
Calculator, IDK (maybe Doc?)
Axe? IDK
Wrench, there is a Doozers named Wrench, but idk.
Pencil, maybe Carter Pin because she is an architect.
Shoes, I think they are Junior Gorg's. The fraggle don't wear shoes and the Doozers have yellow boots. It's gotta be Junior. (Maaaaaayybe if you squint it could be Doc.)
Guitar, definitely Gobo.
Bongos, I think this is Wembley, because he sings a song "here to there" in one of the first episodes and he plays bongos. But other than that I'm not sure who it could be.
Glasses, 100% The Trash Heap 🗑️
Cantus' magic pipe
The Pan flute, I have no idea.
Banana tree shirt. Take a wild guess. He's green and likes to wemble.
The flowers, I'm not sure for this one. But if I had to guess, probably Mokey.
Bows, Red. 🎀🎀
Hat, Boober my beloved 😚
Finally the Maracas, I have no damn clue.
So I don't know/not sure about 1-6, 8, 11, 13, 16.
Please help! I wanna know who they are I'm sorry I'm such a fake fan 😩😔🥲😭
Forgive me Fraggle five 🙏🙇♀️
