Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm glad you like him.
I did go over his eyes with a lighter green but, it doesn't pop as much as I want. I've thought about repainting them. I think your idea about a winter and autumn one is very cool (especially autumn). To do this version I mixed two different flocks together.
I used Zinsser Graffiti Remover & Stripper to get the glue and paint off. It was very hard to get off and the most unenjoyable aspect of this custom.
I have an extra Mossman but, he is on card and I plan on selling him because I'm very pleased with my custom ( I got one to customize and one to leave alone) and this version is what I wanted since I saw the prototype. I'll try and take a pic of the two together but it will probably not be a good comparison since one will be on card. Overall, I think Mattel did a pretty good job with the flock. I agree that Mossman looks good without the flock too. It would be a pretty easy custom to make an unflocked mossman. The only thing you would have to do is repaint the head. Everything else is casted in the same color plastic.
