Does that means we can't hug him? I hope not.

Wilt's fingers had been described as "Weirdo Suction-cuppy fingers" by Eduardo, indicating that Wilt's fingertips are suction cups, most likely for better grip on a basketball. It is still unknown whether or not Wilt could probably climb on walls/ceiling with them (he'd have to take off the shoes and socks, though, because the only one time to see his feet, the toes look similar to his fingers).

And no, I never noticed that when he kneels down. Maybe Wilt has maybe at least a hint of frog/toad within him. Of course, this could mean he is a higher jumper, so that could go with Basketball too. Though I'd doubt that he'd kneel that much down just for a jump shot, probably would take too long.

His name is Kip Snip. Be sure to memorise that name, it's important. And you are quite correct, the lower jaw of his handsome smile is indeed inconsistent with the upper. As for Mac, Bloo and Frankie...I've yet to notice, but I'll pay it more mind. I do suspect that it's part the show's drawing style, and thus a pretty regular feature amongst Foster's character designs.

As for Wilt's "weirdo suction-cuppy fingers", they've always reminded me (perhaps ironically) of those possessed by the malignant aliens in the War of the Worlds (in the films, that is...I believe the martians in the original novel were described as having tentacles instead of fingers).

Wilt is seen kneeling down at the beginning of "Foster's Goes to Europe", in that scene in which Bloo is "educating" them on how to blend in with the French. I don't think he looks like a frog, though, since frogs usually have short front limbs and chubby, flattish bodies, and no necks. His fingers remind me more of a gecko's, since they have similar gripping pads on the ends of their fingers, but theirs are dry and utilize billions of tiny hairlike skin cells located on their dermal ridges(that would be fingerprints, to a human), rather than wet suction discs that some frogs have. I can be quite certain that Wilt's skin is NOT wet and slimy like a frog's! Wilt's gripping finger tips(and toe tips, since as Antgirl1 pointed out, his toes are the same way), along with his underbite, are two phyical characteristics he shares with the character Randall from Monsters, Inc., but I don't know if Wilt can climb up and cling to sheer walls like Randall can or not! He probably doesn't have enough limbs to support his weight, after all, even if he took his shoes off(and Wilt seems to have "issues" with doing that).

Oh! I'm sorry, I think I made a mistake, since English is only my second language I sometimes confuse words, I didn't mean kneeling, I meant something else, but I don't remember the word. SORRY!
And yes I agree, he doesn't look A LOT like a frog, frogs are... fat. And yes, I don't really think his skin is wet and slimy.


With this I think we have learned a lesson.
All you who are reading this: be suspicious about some of the things I say, and if someone notices I start writting nonsense or if words are misspelt, just tell me (If you wish to).
Me: be more carefull about the things I write- I mean the spelling and the fact that I have to look up them in the dictionary- , because even if they are small mistakes they can make a BIG difference. Also, I have to check more than once my posts.

No problem, and we won't be suspicious of what you say. I understand that some words in some languages do not have good comparisons in other languages, so it's difficult to find the right one sometimes.

Did anyone else think that Wilt made an adorable veteran?

(Moved this post to the appreciation thread because the regular discussion thread is not the place to talk about Wilt being adorable)

I did! I never would have thought of dressing him up like that, it worked very well.

Yeah, it did-with Wilt missing an arm and an eye, it would naturally go with the guise of a disabled war hero. No one would likely even question his status as such at the nursing home. It's interesting and insightful how Coco came up with that disguise, showing that she's not as crazy as people think she is.

It WAS clever of her.

I thought just to rekindle this thread, Im a Wilt Fangirl myself as you all know from my intro thread. But I was reading the earlier posts in this thread. I agree, alot of girls find Wilt as that "dream guy". He is caring, up beat, cheerful, bright about the world, and always apologizing. After the movie "Good Wilt Hunting" and in the new shows,you can tell that Wilt feels better about himself and he doesnt have that guilt about his past anymore tugging him down silentley and having to hide it. I admit, there is somthing about his smile that just snags you and draws you to him. Ive also noticed he is kinda a curious character, even if it is just a tiny bit of curiousity he as, like he just wants to go out there and do somthing great, Anybody else notice that?

[antgirl1]

That last statement made me go "Awww". I find the characteristic "Curiousity" in a character kinda...adoreable.
