Fake Miss Piggy on eBay

[Muppet fan 123]

I'm confused, where did it ever state it was an actual Muppet? If anything, he may be plugging this Puppet Shop, but he never claimed it was an original?

It says it is, but we can tell it's not true.

It said "New Authentic Life-Size", it doesn't necessarily state it is to be taken as an actual muppet?

Okay, so the guy gets points taken off for descriptive words. To me it would be the same as 1/1 scale...

I think you guys are reading way too much into it, just my opinion....

Come on guys. Am I the only one that can spot a fake Muppet a mile away? This looks nothing like the real Miss Piggy...

Yeah, it's no biggie that he gives his auction an inaccurate title that could mislead someone into paying thousands more than the puppet is worth.

I somebody looks at those pics and sees an authentic Henson Quality Muppet, then they deserve to get ripped off. Just sayin...

Those who misrepresent their merchandise do not deserve to profit by it.

You are bidding on a New Authentic life size (40" x 12") Miss Piggy from The Muppets. It is made from The Puppet Shop with superior craftsmanship. Included are red custom dress, wig, pearl necklace, patent leather shoes, and arm movers. It is custom built. Original purchase price was $4,000 but was never used. This is a rare one of a kind item at a true bargain price.


We all can see it's not the real deal. Did anyone bother to read the rest of the description? Anyone buying a puppet for $1200 based on a title alone deserves what they get....read the entire auction

I'll still give him/her the benefit of the doubt, is he trying to make a sale (yes), is it worth $1200.00 (to someone, maybe), but I still think this is getting way more attention than it deserves...

Oh well I just thought it was something you all would enjoy seeing. It is definitely a good looking puppet though. Sorry for the miss understanding I might have caused.
