muppet wiki says that it's gonna be like $265. is that true? cause that's a little much for a plush.

You are gunna need a lot of spare cash shortly, with the efx photo puppets coming out.
Maybe you should look at a after school job, such as a supermarket or fast food chain?
At least it will be your money to spend how you like!

The Steiff plush is basically for high end collectors. You could get a photo puppet replica Kermit for less than that. Really you could. Probably even Gonzo and Animal too.

And last time I checked, and it was only the proto, it was ugly. The Macy's Kermit cost about 15 bucks, and it was a million times better than this one.

Again, it's a vanity buy for high class toy collectors with a lot of cash. I really wish some other company would go back to making good quality muppet plush the way Sababa did.

I still think the Steiff plush is hiding. :embarrassed:

I can understand a high-end plush with the finest materials, but the likeness was absolutely terrible. Even if that is just a prototype, you don't use the current photo to push such an extremely expensive product. Not when you can get the real-deal MR Kermit for less. This product makes no sense except for the weathy obsessive collector who must have everything. I won't be getting it, but I do hope they make it look attractive.

Yeah... Steiff completists or rich toy collectors that want high end stuff because they can afford it. It's pretty sad this is the only plush we know is coming out... even those ugly crane game muppets look better. Of course, to win one of those things, you have to spend the same amount of money in quarters in one of those machines.... :rolleyes:

So if you can't afford this, relax. I'm sure we'll get some really good Kermit soon enough.
