If you want, you may call me Mangy, but pronounce the 'G'!
MonsteRoo is Officially up for Sale
AUCTION MOVED

So I've decided to let the character go to a new home.
Its been a crazy ride with how much this suit has done for me and how much effort I put into it. But lately I've felt tied down with it, and I can't perform the best of my abilities. He was really never meant for dancing. I don't want him to retire like Tac was, I still want to see MonsteRoo at cons. So by selling him he can continue to bring excitement to the fandom.
We've fixed him up for selling shape. With a new liner in the head (before I just had my face against the foam XP)

I never realized he was so heavy! Wow! That makes me admire what you do all the more, because your movements and gestures in Roo have always been so fluid and so well-articulated, and you always made it look so easy. Looks can be deceiving, I guess ;).
I weigh about 95 lbs soaking wet, so, that settles that ;).
Still, that's about half my weight, so it's all relative ;).
Hopefully he will still be close to you and the new owner will rock the suit like you did
Sorry to hide those top posts, needed to make this journal as organized as possible.
Seems like such a responsibility to wear such an iconic suit- a lil daunting!
I can see profiles of those who are interested.
I was advised that this be the best auction. Ebay I hear has many fake bidders plus extra fees.
The description of the condition and sizing of the suit is detailed enough that buyers are easily able to make an informed decision on whether or not they'd like to spend the money. :)
Just because something is outside of your price range, doesn't mean it's under-handed!
Caution is fine. Accusations are not.
Regardless, I hope it goes to a good home. Who can treat the character with respect and still be able to put a smile on everyones faces.
Best of luck! The new owner better do him justice!
Too bad I'm broke, even if I wasn't my parents would probably say no...
Hope whoever gets him takes care of him!
Can't wait to see your next suit, though.
And it wouldn't be him anymore then ;)
Or do you come with the suit ? ;P
competitions you featured this suit in. I'll truly miss it and hope that the new user will enjoy it as much as you
did and that they take great care of it and wash it regularly and feed it and sleep with it.....ok too far .//.
That, and asking a decent price for it all but ensures whoever gets it will be inclined to get their moneys worth by wearing it out and about. This is win/win. Mangusu gets to see the legacy live on and you get to continue to enjoy the dancing roo (hopefully)
I want this suit. But since I am neither a fursuiter nor a dancer, MonsterRoo's personality would completely change. Also there are aspects of his being that do not match with mine (my shoe size is Men's 12, for example with a 36 waist. If it's snug for you, I'd probably have to have it modified.)
So I'm torn. I could afford it, but I don't think I'm the kind of person you'd particularly want to have it, since the guy would probably languish for a while before making any con appearances, and once he did start showing up he'd be very...different.
MonsterRoo definitely needs to go to someone who will do him justice. He's one of the few fursuits I think aught to be inducted into the Furry Museum, assuming we had one.
Hope it finds a good home.
Sad to see him go, but I get you :)
Please use furbuy.com or thedealersden.com.
Dude..thank you for being so awesome and for representing us roos. I'm gonna keep watching you because you're a really great guy and fantastic artist who just happens to have moves better than Jaggers <3
And damn I'm a foot taller than you 0.0 lol
Hope he goes to a great home. <3
that being said, i dont really care who gets the suit from mangusu, but, if another fursuit dancer got him and kept up the performance level, i'd be more than happy. (wether skrat is at that level or can rbing it up to that level, no comment)
I kid of course.
I hope to see you keep them moves going with your new suit.. Hopefully i see you at FWA this year again to..
I'm not a Roo. I'm not even a fan of Monster Energy. It was just a colorful idea I created out of the Soda Roo craze back in 2010.
There are much more important things to me than a fursuit.
Also, it's a just a character t perform as. A fursuit. It's not like he's quitting the fandom.
My shoe size is 8.5 - 9.
I'm going to watch this.
Do you have a new suit you plan to dance in ?
I think you can tell by the response that MonsteRoo gained a lot of fans, part of that is obviously masterful design choices, but even more of it is what you put into him. I can understand your reasoning for moving on, and yet I guess I hope that you will always carry at least a little sentimentality toward him.
I hope he goes to someone who cares about the character, whether they dance or not. Looking forward to seeing what you do with the new guy.
Hopefully a dancer takes him, so he can continue being awesome!
If I had the money I'd try to buy him, but I'd need to learn to dance to do the character justice...LOL
;__;
This is like, a legendary pokemon getting captured for someone to keep in a pokeball. What if some little dorky ass wanna be pokemon master gets the legendary monsteroo?!
Jk
But not jk
My feels are in pain
Hope you get what he's worth
And hope the new owner is worthy of such a beast
Honestly
This suit is like
One of my big inspirations
Mostly paired with the attitude you give him
And your dancing
So many lines
CAN'T EXPRESS
THESE FEELS

im sad to see Monsteroo go :C i really hope his character gets justice if someone buys him, im nervous in the way of what may happen to the suit if someone with those weird fetishes gets him or someone who buys it only because they want to get recognized or some crap :S i really hope it goes to someone who can keep the characters personality at least in tact as much as possible. :< im having lots of mixed feelings over this.
I just hope that Monsteroo is bestowed on someone as worthy as his creator. If there was a furry hall of fame, I'd put Monsteroo and Buddy right at the top of them all.
By the way, another one (probably not as much as Buddy or Monsteroo) that I liked a lot was Tac. But as I understand, Tac just didn't want to cooperate with you, eh?
MANGUSU - Thank you for all the years of making us happy with your gift of entertainment!
( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( GREAT BIG HUGS ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) )
It happened in the past, so they used the past tense- what's wrong with that?
He's an amazing suit, and you're an amazing performer. I hope he'll get a new owner who can really show the character, perhaps in their own way.
Back a few years ago when I was just finding out about the fandom, I watched countless videos, and seeing your colorful suit and added dance moves made me want to become a part of the fandom. Truly hope the suit goes to a good home.
