The Animorph cover models
« on: July 05, 2008, 10:04:27 PM »
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.

I have had a long-standing crush on the original Jake model (as Jake, not the actual person).

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.

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....

Yeah it was. He was supposed to be an effeminate guy.
