Now which of the cover models best match your visual descprition of the Animorphs? Or which ones were your favorite?
I have to exclued Cassie's single model because she stayed throughout the series, but she was fine.
Jake's model didn't change for a long time, though he must have droped out at the end, because the boy who I guess is Jake on the inside cover of the final book doesn't even come close to the first model. I found his first model to be a double of this guy I knew when I first started reading the series.
Marco's second model was I thought was better then the first one with the long hair.
The harder choice is from the many of Rachel models. I find my favorite to be the model on the cover of Megamorphs 3 Elfangor's secret.
Lastly, I found that Tobais was miss cast the most of all the models until the cover of Megamorphs 4 Back to Before, spot on. Well better late then never.
-
Yea Tobias was always changing.. The blonde one is how I imagine him though
and Marco the second one, not the third one... book 35 is a good example i think for what i imagine him to look like
The last book, all the animorphs looked different, i totally wasnt happy about that..
-
I thought the first book they appeared in (book 1, book 2, book 3, book 4, and book 5) were the best.
-
I always pictures Jake how he always looks on the cover of the first book
Tobias: the blond haired version
Marco: The book where they turn into polar bears
Rachel: Book 12
Cassie: None of the books. I don't like how her cover model looks it's one thing to have short hair but she really looked like a boy on some covers. I always pictured Cassie with braids
Ax: all the books that he narrates
-
Well...Ax doesn't really change...
Jake...His first cover model.
Rachel...She had fifty...I don't know. I think 12 seemed the most fitting though...
Marco...25
Tobias was definitely the one on MM4.

*blush*
I have had a long-standing crush on the original Jake model (as Jake, not the actual person).
*Siiigh*
-
Jake: Book 1
Tobias: Book 3 (don't know why, but I can almost never picture him as a blond)
Cassie: Book 9
Marco: Book 5-his hair is short in one book in my mind, only because they made fun of it a lot
Ax none of them, his tail is always too short, and they give him such weird stalk eyes
Rachel: I think 22 was the most like her as I envisioned but too dark of features on the eyes and brow: How hard would it be to slap a pair of blue eyes on her?!
-
I like short haired Marco better than long haired. I do wish Cassie looked more like a girl.
I haven't really kept track of the models. I just have a mental picture of what they look like in my head, and use that.
I'm not sure why Rachel and Tobias seem to change all the time. I don't mind it too much for Tobias, though, because I tend to picture him as a bird anyway.
His red tail is undeniably his normal form now, because Loren was able to aquire and morph him.
-
Jake: The one at the 26 or 11 fit nicely.
Cassie: I dunno, the cover people looked the same, probably just the same persons... :)
Marco: Short haired Marco looked better, agree with you people.
Ax: His tail was supposed to be short at first, since he was just a young Andalite. He even noted that fact in the battle against the Visser.
Rachel: My favorite was the one at Megamorphs 4... :)
Tobias: I liked the blond version, the one at MM4. Dirty blond Tobias seemed too tough for the early Tobias.
-
Cassie: I dunno, the cover people looked the same, probably just the same persons... :)
Hers was the same the entire time.

Hey, why not? He's hawt! ;)
But yeah, I think Jake's original model (the one for pretty much the entire series!) is exactly how i picture the character, and matches the description perfectly. I think he looks best on #11 or on Megamorphs #3: Elfangor's secret! Cassie matches nicely as well....as for Tobias, I kind of think he looks better with dark hair, even if in the books he's blond, lol--what can I say, I was too influenced by the cover, and then he was so rarely in human form anyway I forgot he was blond....
-
Agreed! the original Jake looked way cooler than MM4 version or #54 version. Even cooler than Shawn Ashmore LOL.
The blond Tobias looked best in MM4, he's actually taller than Rachel! Not taller than Jake though....
Human Ax looked kinda... i dunno... retarded... though... Looked both female and male... LOL....
-
Human Ax looked kinda... i dunno... retarded... though... Looked both female and male... LOL....
wasn't that the point of his morph? the point that the other animorphs always say?
-

Yeah it was. He was supposed to be an effeminate guy.
-
I know. But still, its funny to look at. ;D
-

What was wrong with him on MM4? That looked like the original guy to me, though with shadows....
But yes, the new guy on #54 sucks, I was very annoyed..... >:(
-
hehehe... I thought his hair in MM4 was a bit....i dunno, maybe the shadows were playing with my eyes.... ???
-
In my opinion, Megamorphs #3 was the best book for the cover models. It had the right Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, and the cardboard Ax. Tobias, had another new model on it, but it doesn't really matter to me. I liked Tobias the best for #3. I never actually pictured him with blond hair. :-\
-
My favourite Rachels are #32 (perfect smug-face) and #54 (almost angelic).
-
I liked Tobias the best for #3. I never actually pictured him with blond hair. :-\
Yeah, me neither....I agree #3 is best for me!
-
I thought that out of the 6, the original Cassie, Jake, and Rachel fit their descriptions best.
-
If by original, you mean the first 6 books of each Animorph and Ax, then I agree, except for the Ax part. I love the way he looked so retarded.... ;D
-
Yep..that's what I meant.
-
I liked Tobias the best for #3. I never actually pictured him with blond hair. :-\
I pictured him with dirty blond hair. I didn't really pay any attention to his model, just how he was described. ..But I didn't really pay attention to the description for a long time.
-
actually, earlier in the series he was described as blond, then later changed to dirty blond, then blond again.. confusing, huh?
-
Yeah, that was confusing...But, when I first pictured him, he had dirty blond hair...plus he was a hawk for a lot of it, so he was mostly a bird.
-
I thought that out of the 6, the original Cassie, Jake, and Rachel fit their descriptions best.
That was the original Cassie. She stayed the same throughout the series. But i liked that original Rachel, the one from #12 and The Solution #22
I thought the Jake on the first cover was probably the worst. He looked best in MM4 and. The one on The Resistance looked pretty chunky to me, no offense.
-
Cassie: None of the books. I don't like how her cover model looks it's one thing to have short hair but she really looked like a boy on some covers. I always pictured Cassie with braids
Wow, lol. She did have braids. well, at least i know #19 did. I thought she always looked like a girl. Maybe its just me...
-
She did pretty much look like a girl. I don't think I could mistake her for a guy.
-
This is how I pictured them.
Jake: #1 and #11
Marco: #20 and #35
Cassie: #9 and #29
Rachel: #17 and #22
Tobias: #43 and #49
Ax: Ax? He's an Andalite. He always looked the same to me.
-
Cool signature! See, the Animorphs look best in the MM3...! Except for Tobias though... I think the Tobias there is a bit "macho" for the once gentle Tobias....
-
I think the best Rachel was the one on the cover of mm4/48/54. I don't know about you guys, but the others weren't pretty enough, and I think that Rachel was really pretty (but hey, that's just me
Jake: I dunno, he never looked tough enough for me, too pretty
Marco: Same again, not really how I pictured him. But if I had to pick one, I'd say the original from #5; the boy is at least smiling
Cassie: Pretty much right, probably coulda been a little prettier
Tobias: 13. I probably woulda looked for someone who had hair different to Jake, but I think the face is right
Ax: Ellimist chronicles. Yes it was a painting-type picture, but it looked like a painting of a real creature, not some cheap 80s sci-fi thing.
-
hmmm... now that you mention it.... MM4 Rachel looked reaally cute... :P
I mean compared to the other Rachels, she looked prettier.
-
My favourite Rachels are #32 (perfect smug-face) and #54 (almost angelic).
yeah, I agree.
-
I thought the first book they appeared in (book 1, book 2, book 3, book 4, and book 5) were the best.
This.
-

yeah, I agree.
heh, I didnt like Rachel on the 54 cover, her hair was brown! that just ruined the whole look
-
It wasn't brown, it just had darker lowlights.
Then again, maybe Australian folk that spend a LOT of time in the sun would have a different definition of brown.
Jake from #1 has brown hair, by the American definition. Tobias' #3 hair was 'mousy brown' or 'dishwater blonde', because it is more like a blonde person's hair would look if he'd gotten it wet and went rolling through dirt.
Blonde is anything that has highlights that are lighter than Tobias' #3 hair, pretty much. Even if she had BLACK lowlights, she'd still be considered blonde.
-
I thought Marco looked silly in every cover except MM4. I always pictured him with longer hair anyway.
Cassie looked fine, obviously. Jake looked great, but I liked the way he looked in #53 the best. Seemed the most like him.
Rachel looked the most like Rachel in #22 and MM4. I know she cuts her hair on the Iskoort homeworld in #26, but don't you think it would've grown back by then? She looked the best in MM4 but probably should've had longer hair.
Tobias was just a wreck. I think he looked the best in MM4, but the model looked silly in the other books he did. He looked too young, and Tobias was much older by that point in the series. I also always pictured Tobias with longer hair that wasn't that blonde, anyway.
I think they hit Ax dead-on in #8, however. He looked just as goofy as I had pictured him - mainly his expression.
Really, though. MM4 is like the masterpiece of Animorphs' covers. With the exception of Marco's morph mix-up, it was perfect.
-
These were the best representations of how the Animorphs looked like. Jake and Rachel and Cassie had the best covers.
-Jake: #11 The Forgotten
-Rachel: #42 The Journey
-Tobias: #13 The Change
-Cassie: #48 The Hidden
-Marco: #45 The Revelation
-Ax: #8 The Alien
-
first, i really dislike all the new models (no offence ut i'm too used to the old ones)
Jake-#11
Rachel-#2 or #32
Marco-#10
Ax-#8
Tobias-#23
-
I'm having a hard time getting used to the new ones too.
I have to go look again before I put any votes in on the old ones. I'll edit this when I figure it out.
