I had a go tweaking some things... the first two (the one with both armless and armed [lol]) sprites is just a very minor alteration making the hat a bit less lumpy and adding a dark shade to the rim of the eye so that the white doesn't blend so much into the skin tone.
The third (the one beneath Sonic, who's there for comparison's sake) is the result of me staring a bit too hard at the sprites. I couldn't help but feel the face was a bit 'squashed', and after staring some more at a reference image, I decided to try expanding it just a small bit. I don't know if it's any good, though.
EDIT: I also realize after uploading that I only altered the pants on one sprite. Sloppy me. But yeah, I also did that, as it seemed that his stomach and leg were blending into one too much. This accents his slight potbelly a bit better.
