I want to see the more up-to-date prototypes of Animal and Gonzo. The Gonzo photos we have seen so far look pretty spot on but the Animal ones seem to be slightly amiss somehow. Not just the nose size but something else I just can't put my finger on.

It was the eyes Travis said. The pupils needed to be more in towards the nose. After he showed us a updated picture (modified with Photoshop), Animal looked a lot better!

Glad to hear it. Can't wait to see the finished prototype before it is shipped off to China for mass production!

I don't know, but it's just probably me. I am just so overly excited to see these guys somewhere online at SDCC. Has anyone else seen them yet? I know Ernie will post pictures as soon as he gets them for his website. Keep your eyes peeled!

Im also looking forward to seeing some pics, Pictures of Comic Con are showing up, but noone has bothered to show pics of the Muppets?

One website has reported that there are FOUR Muppets on display, Kermit, Animal and two others that they couldn't remember the names of? Doh!

The suspense!

It amazes me, we have three more of these coming out and we have to wait so long to get them. The year is almost half over and the only one is Animal that comes out in the fall. We haven't even got to gonzo's pre-order and that might mean we will have to wait for the winter to get him. I know they take time to make, but they should spread them out a little bit better throughout the year like Sideshow does.

ummmm... did animal get stuck under a blow dryer or what happened? well, since i guess i preordered him, i'll try and figure out how to unfluff that enormous head of his.

and when gonzo shows up at my house, i hope he's wearing the maroon tux he's known for and not that hot pink monkey suit.

They look great, still need a few tweeks but there great.

Guess the other web site that said there are four was wrong? Shame I was really hoping to see Fozzie.

Great work guys
