    Totally unexpected... Baby Animal resurfaces!

    Never thought this puppet would see the light of day again. Baby Animal makes a very brief reappearance in the 'Be More Tea' commercial, starring Kermit, Piggy, and a metropolitan city's worth of grown Animals. Alex

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    "My favorite all time Foo-Foo moment was with piggy in the ring leader outfit and Rowlf playing piano and cracking jokes. Best Foo-Foo moment ever and one of the best interactions of Jim and Frank's characters." Absolute classic moment. The live dog scratches, they both notice and incorporate...

    Funny 1978 UK reference to Muppets

    Dusting off this thread, I see that (just as I feared) all of those Man About the House and George & Mildred episodes have been deleted from YouTube due to copyright infringements. Glad I watched them when I did! But rather than start a new topic, I do have something similar to share. I...

    My jaw is in my lap. It's like looking at a factory assembly line, yet I know it's all painted by hand. Amazing. Alex

    Invisible Fozzie, and a question for customisers/repairers

    Two of them with repelling magnets? That IS bad luck. But once you had two of them, there might have been an even easier fix. Did you try swapping their hats first? It's possible that one Fozzie was north-up with a north-down hat, and the other was south-up with a south-down hat. You had a...

    RIP John Henson

    I looked but didn't see any existing items about this. Mods, feel free to delete or move if necessary. I was on Facebook earlier and saw a post by Ibex Puppetry that John Henson had passed away yesterday. I did a Google search and found this article...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Crossing my fingers! Conversely, I don't remember ever seeing the Jonathan Winters episode, and have only watched it recently thanks to YouTube. My favorite part of the entire episode was Winters improvising with all the hats in the trunk. I've been doing improv comedy for over ten years...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Another item I really wish Palisades had produced was the alien pack-in for the proposed Swinetrek accessory set. Based on the onion-headed little guys from the Jonathan Winters episode, I would have bought two of this set in a flash! Add that one to my MWoO wish list! Alex

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Yeah, that pic of Sal next to Johnny was always my favorite. Don't remember where I first saw it, but I couldn't hit right-click-and-save fast enough. Looking forward to seeing you finally re-create what Palisades had planned. It's going to be magnificent! Alex

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Well, the techniques really vary. I've given this sort of answer several times in the past, but to save you a search... Some figures are simply repainted. I might paint only a small area, or I might repaint practically the entire figure. The paint might be applied by hand with a tiny brush, or...

    See? I told you Sal would be a frequent request! I found those reference pics of the Sal prototype if you're interested. Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    These take me back, Lukas, to being a kid and sculpting all the Muppets, not just the ones Palisades didn't do, out of plasticine clay. Alas, my sister's dog ate most of those, except for a couple of Fraggles that might survive in a shoebox somewhere. Do you mix the clay to the colors you...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Beau into Bobo (BeauBeau?) is a popular suggestion, but to my thinking there would be SO much new sculpting done to complete the transformation that I am not sure why ruining a Beauregard is even necessary. There would be practically nothing left of Beau in the end product, so why use him as a...
