Hello,
I'm looking for any Sideshow Muppet busts that members might be interested in selling. I'm new to collecting these, so my initial goal is to collect the following characters first:
Kermit
Fozzie
Piggy
Rowlf
Gonzo
Animal
Scooter
Dr. Teeth
I'm looking for statues in near mint / mint...
Thank you Reevz1977 for the information...
I think your suggestion to start with Kermit is a good one. After all, he is the obvious centerpiece. If I take the plunge, collecting these will likely come over time considering the obvious high prices on ebay, but that's the way collecting should...
I thought of a few more questions...
6. How big are these busts? Does anyone know how they would compare to Sideshow's Lord of the Rings mini-busts or Star Wars mini busts?
7. Do they break easily? I owned a few Lord of the Rings busts and they seemed fairly sturdy, but then again, I...
I originally passed on the Muppet busts that Sideshow started producing in 2002. Wow, has it really been that long? That decision may come back to haunt me as I view pictures of the set now and find them very cool and appealing. Since I've never owned one of these, or even viewed one in...
Yes, there was a box sold on ebay with a cloth puppet. The seller speculated that the company shipped some cloth puppets with boxes showing the rubber/plastic head count. I have pictures from the auction saved on my PC. Looking closely, the box appears to be the exact same one in the photo...
Yes, that's the picture I was referring to. So, the Count you now own and the one in the picture immediately above are one and the same. So, I think we're back to not knowing if the one you have is a one off or if there are more like it?
The other picture you posted of the Count and the...
By the way, the seller from Canada with the current Count puppet up for auction replied to me and said he's the original owner and it came with a monocle originally. I mentioned this forum, so maybe he will join our party :batty:
He said the monocle did not have a string attached - only a nub...
Hi David,
I'd like to clear up one thing. In my post above I mention an ebay auction with a box and count, with the count not having a tongue. In retrospect, that's not for the ebay auction I was thinking of, so I'm not sure the origins of that photo. I suspect the box and Count combination...
Hi GroverBoy,
You make some very interesting observations. I had originally wondered myself whether there was a variation to the Count with some having tongues and others not. Mikey made a good case for the tongue's being removal with no residue, however, the ebay auction with the box that...
Jelopi, by chance would your info be related to this recent auction on ebay?

Does anyone have a MR Kermit box they'd be willing to part with? I'm only looking for the outer box in very good to near mint condition. If you have one, please PM me.
Thanks!
Thanks for the response. I'm familar with Mikey's site - very cool. Although his Count has a tongue, I've seen others that do not, and in the cases I've seen, the surface of the inside lower mouth is very clean. So, that made me wonder if there's a variation with some Counts having a tongue...
The price may be steep, but totally worth it for a one of a kind collectible such as this. If this was a Star Wars prototype of this magnitude, I can't even imagine how much it would go for. We're not even talking about a Palisades action figure prototype, this is the genuine article here!!
Hello,
I'm looking for information regarding the vintage Sesame Street Count hand puppet with the rubber head. I bought one of these guys from ebay a few years back, and interested in learning more. Here are my questions:
1) Does anyone know if this puppet originally sold loose or in a...
Does anyone know where I may get an imitation flower for Gonzo's lapel, like what is pictured in the official MC review? Any help would be much appreciated!
