Custom figures and dioramas

[Muppetaz]

cool, thanks! i 'm recreating eisode four in stop motion with my star wars figures. I was a huge star wars fan untill I got into the muppets, and I'm starting to get back into it. Last nite I recreated my first scene.

the figure is actuly a custom, I switched bodies with qui gon just for the filming.

(btw I need a flat diorama without characters in it so I can film in front of it.)

This is ironic... I had to create several "Off-Topic" threads over at Rebelscum's forums, since the Muppets aren't technically anything to do with Star Wars collecting.

And now here at the Muppet website, we're getting off-topic talking about Star Wars again.

Anyway, Taz, check your e-mail account. I just sent you three images that I hope will work. One is scanned from a book, as I couldn't find the image anywhere online. One is from Google. And one is a Google pic that I retouched.

Feel free to contact me at Ploovo241@aol.com for any future non-Muppet needs.

About the Donkey Kong figure. Donkey kong doesn't work... BUT DIDDY KONG DOES!

Lamango, have you got a pic of Diddy Kong as Sal? Or at least, standing next to a Johnny Fiama figure?

Thanks to the prototype turnaround pics that Rowlfy linked, I want more than ever to hand-sculpt a Sal and get someone to cast it for me. I may even have acquired a new contact who can do the castings AND who wants a custom Sal, so maybe the stars will align for that project in a few months.

Joseph, welcome to MuppetCentral and thanks for your praise of my namesake custom figure. It was the very first custom Muppet that I made. I'm not 100% satisfied with Princess Loina, though. I may have to remake that one, especially after discovering a better white spray-paint which I used on my custom White Tux Rowlf re-creation.

Hey Dearth, for those vet's hospital customs you made, maybe you could use some beaker bodies.

Yeah, but even if I were able to get my hands on extra Beakers, they'd go toward my '6 Beaker' diorama for the Mac Davis episode.

I'm actually talking to the seamstress from the play I did last month about sewing me some little tiny hospital scrubs for Dr. Bob and the two nurses. Then I would just dress the existing figures in those and not have to do much sculpting/painting.

She did something like 60 full-sized costumes for Aladdin in just about a month's time, so surely three tiny 'Snuggies' wouldn't be that hard.

Sadly, no. But Diddy Kong is a smaller figure than Donkey Kong, who was the size of at least Beauregard in height. Remove the tail and the cap from Diddy, you got basicly, a Sal waiting to happen. Complete with throwing banana action.

Diddy in question.
