Is it just me or does this "scholar" look a lot like Gary Coleman? The guy on the far right...

I have a theory and I know this is a stretch but bare with me. I think that they took the figure from the newspaper scene who always had that smirk on his face and moved him to the "scholar" scene and just added some facial hair, dreadlocks and the new costume. I mean, just look at his face and hands. The hands are either different altogether or have been darkened on the scholar character. The new guy at the newspaper scene is not smiling and is wearing glasses now making him look a little older and more serious.

Looks more like Bob Marley to me. What in the world does the guy in the center have on his head?? It looks like a giant onion!

Well, I did not really intend for it to be but when you look at my thread title I suppose that's the logical explanation considering today's date!

Oh, I know! I would have thought the same thing after reading it. Actually, I kind of thought it sounded like Gary Coleman was working on the ride as in like a cast member!

I guess that's supposed to be ink on the newspaper guy's hand, but seen up close like that it looks like he has some sort of X-files-worthy skin condition.
I think I agree with you GhostHost; it does look like they moved that figure. The scholar seems to be looking down for no apparent reason, just like he was when he was gazing happily at his newspaper. Interestin' stuff.

The scholar is much taller than Gary Coleman; even sitting down.
