I even imagine his voice being gruffer and older in that adaption.<br /><br />but oh yes. You are right. So much better than a robot!saintfighteraquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195760262262189059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-14518175189668439692011-11-24T00:36:58.469-05:002011-11-24T00:36:58.469-05:00I prefer the Denslow skull for the Woodman.

Denslow's Tin Woodman is more human looking, and therefore, more relatable. Neill's design is so simplistic, it's kind of boring, and those limbs look a little too flimsy to me.rocketdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574717380856957685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-15395363990268118722011-11-23T00:56:19.783-05:002011-11-23T00:56:19.783-05:00You’re right, of course.

I don’t recall the <i>Dorothy and the Wizard</i> variations, but I’m sure they’re there.<br /><br />The first Oz books I read after <i>Wonderful Wizard</i> were <i>Tin Woodman</i> and <i>Marvelous Land</i>, with the cylindrical head throughout.

Nick also had a skull-shaped head in <i>The Patchwork Girl of Oz.</i> And he had both a skull-shaped head and a tin can-shaped head in <i>Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz;</i> it varied among illustrations.ericshanowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879686211456482942noreply@blogger.com
