Hi folks, I was recently reminded of this wonderful model from the 1985 'Art of the Muppets' exhibit. Does anyone have better images of the model? The best ones I could find were these screen-grabs from a KermiClownVideo made using someone's home movie and the audio tour. Kermit is talking...

Hi Count! I hadn't given much thought to the rest of the scene for Alice Cooper (aka Vincent Furnier) beyond posing him on a shelf with the DST figures. However, in the Welcome to My Nightmare number, he does briefly interact with a skeleton. If I find a toy or model kit skeleton of the right...

Here's the post by j3h which inspired my above custom... waaaay back in November 2011. It's funny to re-read it now because I even tried the exact same recipe he suggested, first purchasing a Diamond Select Dracula, but in the end went with the better-scaled and more poseable Toy Island...

Thank you, MuppetSpot, for digging that up. And thank you, j3h, wherever you are! Ah cha cha cha! ~D

A veeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time ago, I created this thread to show off some of my custom Muppet Show figures and dioramas. Among my favorites were the ones where I found figures/dolls of some of the guest stars from TMS, like George Burns... ... or Sylvester Stallone... I even revisited...

Revised version, now that I have a Winged Kira figure. (The one shot of her with wings in the previous version was a digital fake. The wings were added from a toy review photo found online.) Alex

One of my biggest disappointments with the DST figures was the way Animal's accessories kept falling over because of their tiny bases and top-heavy designs. Another problem was that the way Animal's hips were jointed, the low stool tilted him too far back. It needed to be a little bit taller...

I finally have some of the Diamond Select Toys figures. I had only bought Statler and Waldorf so far, then lucked into an auction for the deluxe versions of the other five Series 1 and Series 2 sets that I lacked, paying about half what I'd have paid if they were on the card. Overall, they were...

Had to resort to eBay to get the Luke. ~D

I'm curious to have you elaborate on the Tigger story... because Paul Winchell died in '05, I believe.

I'd recommend superglue or gorilla glue on something rigid like that, rather than hot glue. And use it very sparingly. Just enough to coat the two broken surfaces very lightly, then hold them together firmly until the glue cures/sets. Alex

I really love these figures. Here's a little recreation of some movie scenes shot with my Funko ReActions, with a NECA Chamberlain making a special appearance. Alex

I had some extra Backstages at one point, not sure if I still do. I know I sold at least one. I contemplated customizing one into the downstairs canteen and or rehearsal space seen in some episodes of The Muppet Show. Before anyone gasps clutching their chest, I should point out that I bought...

I just created a new thread for a video that I made of my Funko ReAction Dark Crystal toys, but none of them were customized. I want to collect the DST Muppet line, but so far I've only bought the Statler and Waldorf with their theatre box. Faced with a second line of different-scaled...

I took some pics of my new Funko ReAction Dark Crystal figures (and an older NECA Chamberlain) in various exterior locations around town. Enjoy. Alex
