Toodles' Muppet Replicas...

[ToodlesTeam]

Hey there, everyone! Just thought I would start my posting career here by showing off a couple of my home made Muppet replicas. I've been interested in puppets for a while, but only recently have I gotten into creating my own. I intend to create some original characters at some point, but I though I'd do a couple of my favorite Muppets first.

Bear in mind that these aren't meant to be exact matches to the real puppets. They don't use the highest quality or most professional materials. The real goal was just to create a decent likeness. I guess you could call them my "Poor Man's Muppets!"

Kermit:

Rowlf (The flash really washed out his face. Sorry about that):

Also, there wasn't anyone around to...ahem...lend a hand for that second shot of Rowlf, so one of his hands looks a bit limp in it. They're not perfect replicas, but everyone knows who they are anyway!

Awesome. those look like fun.

Very nice job on the Kermit - and the photos! The first one showed that it could pass for a real one (or at least a professional replica)...the second shows he has the flexibility a frog should have for those classic expressions and #3 was a nifty surprise with that addition.

Even though i caught the apostrophe and figures what it signified, the thread title might cause a few split second heart attacks! We've seen Master Replicas end their Muppet replicas and now that we have EFX doing an even better job, hopefully we won't have to say "toodles" to them for a long time!

Oh, man! I never even thought of that! Anyway, thanks for the comments! I'm glad you like Kermit!

Wow. Very nice. If you have other I would loveto see them. That is very impressive for home made. Congrats!

Gonzo would probably be my next choice if I was going to do another replica. He'd be significantly more difficult that Kermit or Rowlf, though. If I was going to spend that much time and money doing a puppet, I think I'd rather make it something original!

Great work!

Very cool. My dad and I plan on doing Beaker, but I have a feeling we'll need a lot more practice before we do Muppet replicas.

I think Kermit is really good, and Rowlf too. First post ever!
