His hands, feet, and face are less troublesome for this, since your brain is going to automatically fill in those spaces when you see his arm or hat or leg moving. But a tail is not usual...so you'll need to be able to see it.

So the tail bands may be a technical need.
This is a really good point. Though I can't help but think there could have been something less weird than those bands. Hot pink tail sock?

I somehow think this would be chucked off the drawing board, but it's got it's own merits.

Why did I think it was a November release?
