Chucky's new look in Curse of Chucky

[The Doctor]

I have a couple of theories as to why he looks like this.

One of them is as simple as Kevin Yeager's design being hard to replicate. Let's face it, we can't get one decent looking replica of unstitched Chucky so maybe it is hard to make a sculpt that is accurate to his designs. One would think that Tony has enough skill to do this, but maybe it is harder than we think it is.

Maybe Don Mancini requested that Tony Gardner make him look this different to set this film apart from the first 5. Giving him his own look for this movie would achieve this from a psychological stand point. Also it has been 22 years since we last saw him unstitched so they could easily take advantage on that time gap, and make a doll they felt better suited for 2013 as opposed to 1991.

Toys are a lot more detailed then they were 22 years ago. Maybe, Play Pals did do a re-launch of the Good Guy and they felt this was the new standard for our time now.

Last, we've heard it a bunch of times that Universal didn't want to spill the beans on his new design because it plays an important part in the story line. So maybe this doll was made by whoever brought him back, almost to purposely make it resemble Brad/CLR. Or maybe this is what he looks like being trapped inside the doll for a prolonged period. The initial poster images used CP1 images of Chucky in his final stage so this could be a play on that.

Again, we can't give a full judgment until the new movie comes out. This maybe one of those things where he doesn't look the best, but the movie itself overrides his looks. He looked awful in Seed, but I would like to think we wouldn't be picking on the Seed design if Seed had actually been a good movie. Because Seed was terrible, we went along critiquing everything about it and the design in particular. If this movie is good, then this might be the right look for him.

I'll admit that there are things I don't like about this design, but I am happy that after 22 years we have a got an unstitched Chucky. By all rights they could have gone the lazy route and made yet another stitched Chucky since that look does have an influence in pop culture, but they are apparently are shooting for something different here. One thing is for sure, despite the differences... he does indeed look creepy if that is the reaction they are trying to achieve.

That photoshop pic looks kinda like cartman without his hat lol chucky looks like a chubby Dreamrush doll

I hope its just this picture because
his head looks so big. I hope dragon prime, that this was a purposeful attempt to differentiate this chucky from any others, which had been the case through out the series if you think about it. Because if we were to compare, none of any two incarnations of chucky look identical to the least so I'm trying to consider that to get accustomed to his me look.
I just need some more pictures and images before i completely dismiss anything because my issues are that i get the feeling that they feel short of trying to replicate his look from the first three films and missing the mark as far as the good guy goes. We have yet to see the evil chucky. My thing with that its the contouring of the face looks a little flat, especially around the mouth area, which was what i noticed about him in seed. If how'd they fixed that. I just get a "independent mod" vibe from this photo and not actual chucky .

I really hope this is the in between point head that is used for hours facial transition from good to evil and nitthe good guy head because our only implies good guy it isn't. our kind if reminds me of chuckys face after he tells Kyle to behave herself our he'll kill her in Childs play 2 or after he tells Andy next time your alone you're mine.

I think its not easy to judge him just from one pic, remember that they have more than one doll. If you look Ed Gale in that Chucky costume you can easily judge Chucky as a drag doll killer, the worst make up in that scene (actually in the first dvd print by Mgm).

Hope to see more pics asap ;D
I'm sure they're testing us for a teaser poster from that promo cd.

[Dr.Death]

That's precisely what i was thinking. I can't find the pic but there's some promotional shots from Childs play 2 which was the first to introduce the different articulated heads for different purposes, but in some promotional shots particularly the one with the black background and its from the waist up and had his neutral face with the mouth closed. Its such a weird face pic and i don't like out but it isn't necessarily a good representation of his look in cp2

I keep going back and forth. On first view of the picture, i hate it. Then i look at it a little longer and start to like it. Then i look at classic Chucky pics and can't help but notice the difference! I have such mixed feelings about this picture. The hair is definatly distracting, but i don't see it staying like that. She probably brushes the dolls hair to start with? I prefer it over Childs Play 3 design. I liked evil Chucky from 3, but the change-over in that one was awful! I still say some very light CGI should of been used for transition rather than making a more neutral doll for the good guy look. I am also hoping this is a promotional pic with a mid-way head being used to attract potential new viewers. I wouldn't actually mind if we get a reason for the difference in apearence, i just don't want to be expected to just accept that he looks different now, same as i don't want to just accept that he's back without knowing how.

Like I have said a few times now, I absolutely love his new look! I think it's everything it should be, and more. Personally, I'm not sure why, because I love the original look, but I think he looks a bit more scarier and tiny bit better. It's made me a lot more excited for this movie.

[junkroxy]

I'm sure they're trying to do the best with this movie or we will say goodbye to chucky for the next 10 years....

[dollover]

He has so complex emotions in that picture both smile and angry as if he is looking something in front of him. They could have use just smile. I changed my mind he isn't that big lol They will share new pictures in September don't wait

[BloodRust]

I think the dark shadow above his eye is making the picture more sinister aswell, looks photoshopped in. Maybe his eye's are a bit bigger than what that pic is making them out to be. I should think he looks a lot more friendly with those big blues staring at you. I'm starting to really come around to the new Chucky. Excitment level raising again. ^_^

[EatDirtTommy]

LOL lets not panic too much. We still have more pics and clips to decide if this design sucks. This pic is clearly photoshopped to death so I would think he'll look a lot different in the movie. Even Erick said the pic doesn't do the new design justice.

[BloodRust]

How blue are his eye's Erick??? Another think i liked about Childs Play 2 puppet was the yellow tint to teeth, i hope this Chucky has that.

Here's a quick and rough Photoshop job I did to give us an idea on how he looks like

Guys after this nightmare they should really release some more pictures to ease our worrires this doll really ruined my Chucky image in my eyes. Is it just me or?

[Dr.Death]

I can actually stay this is growing on me. Dollover, the best coping method i can tell you for adjusting yourself to this new look is to address what your issues are with them. I think the major issue over anything i and some others have is that its different from what we're used to. At the end of the day is that a valid reason to automatically dismiss something ? Think back on how you may have felt had you been old enough to appreciate the rather drastic changes he's already went through , in the first the movies alone

[dollover]

Yes my stitched Chucky fear gone and seeing a brand new good guy supposed to be good He looks completely different I think they didn't reference any other Chucky dolls..
