While some still fervently believe Probopass is based on Mr. Potatohead, I do think it has a connection to another classic toy. I've always suspected that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wooly_Willy Wooly Willy], the magnetic toy invented in 1955 where iron filings were used to imitate facial hair on a bald face, was the source of Probopass' trademark mustache. What's your opinion on this?

==Mini-Noses==
I suspect that the Mini-Noses was inspired in these drawings: http://i.imgur.com/E0OykRI.jpg
I think that the Moais have those birds on their backs. Also, if you look at Probopass from above, the Pukao, the nose and the mini-noses form a wind rose: http://i.imgur.com/Xk2ssQZ.jpg
It's a shame that Probopass is so despised. It is a great design with a great story behind it... --[[User:CaptainBlueOlimar|CaptainBlueOlimar]] ([[User talk:CaptainBlueOlimar|talk]]) 18:41, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
