Question for Australians

[CherryPizza]

Apologies, but the non-Aussies will probably have no idea what I'm talking about. However, I rarely know hat I'm talking about either, so it's no real loss.

Anyway, take a look at http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3126962926&category=11741 and tell me if you see what I see: A muppet with striking resemblance to the now rather washed-up 'celebrity' puppet, the talking bath mat (bad pun intended), Agro

Could we go as far as to diagnose Agro as a "rip-off"?

Yep. Agro is a total ripoff. Agro creator Jamie Dunn used this Fisher Price puppet and just altered a few things. But from what I've heard, it's definately the same one.

Guys,

I know, Its so obvious that is a Fisher Price Animal Puppet with a few changes !

Im in the UK, But i know exactly what your talking about!
I dont get how they can use him on TV, Then make merchandise of him and get money from it ?

Thats just taking money that Henson should have/had.

I wonder if Henson ever did anything about it ?


see ya

Well good, it's not just me then.

For those who have no idea what we are talking about, have a look at these pictures of Agro and draw your own conclusion
