    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Got a pic of the outfit you're describing? I have at least one other Strangepork left in my fodder box. ~~~ Trying to find a good reference pic of Smollett's tattoo. I found this one on the website of Janet Knechtel (http://www.janetknechtel.com/index.htm), the woman who originally stitched...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Nope, I never saw any episodes of that. Looks like he'd be fairly simple, from leftover Swedish Chef parts. I do have an extra Chef that I'm planning on turning into somebody else, so who knows? ~~~ I made a pushmold of the belt buckle from Patrol Bear Fozzie and used it to cast a buckle onto...

    What Defines a "True" Muppet?

    Category 1 are Muppets, as are Fraggles and Sesame Street characters. But Creature Shop creations are not. (And Yoda doesn't count in that category. Frank Oz and to a lesser degree Jim only served in an advisory capacity. The actual design and fabrication of that puppet were handled by the Star...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Ouch... update on Link/Muldoon. I left the Patrol Bear Fozzie belt in the solvent a little too long, and it pretty much dissolved. I'll have to make one from Sculpey. AN

    Haha, no wonder I had such a subconscious craving to give him a body! The likeness that the Muppet propmakers made was uncanny. Alex

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    I'm working on a bare-chested Abraham Smollett with his Benjamina Gunn tattoo... Not sure if I will make the shirt and pants out of Sculpey or just have Diane sew something for me! Here's a pic of all the custom fodder I got from TheCount... ... taken just before I started ripping into...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Wow, this new thread is already in its sixth page! Yeah, it sounds like we've all got a pretty close mental image. My source figure is a regular Bunsen, but some leftover Miss Piggy ears are in the parts bag with him. Just need to file off his real ears and make him a a snout. I would have had...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    I recently watched an auction for just the three bots go for way more than I wanted to pay, but they're very cool. Especially Gypsy and Tom Servo. But that Crow... well, the missing legs don't bother me as much as the fact he looks really out of scale compared to the other two. I used to...

    Some Palisades rarities for sale...

    I watched your 'Frankenstein' fan film for the first time recently, really enjoyed it. It made me want to track down four more EB Piggy's to have my own army of clones. Sending you a PM! Alex

    Just want your opinion, should I open my Palisades Muppets collection?

    Hey JJandJanice, I emailed you to let you know I've got that broken Janice now from the Count, and at least two Floyds in my fodder box now. Just let me know if you still want me to try to repair them. Alex (Ploovo241@aol.com)

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    I was sitting here dremelling off the hair of a Miss Piggy to customize my Annie Sue when I had a knock at the door; it was the mailman with a heavy box full of Muppet custom fodder from The Count! Yay! In addition to Annie Sue, I have several custom Muppets in progress, most begun just last...

    Muppets from Space: Thoughts on the Music

    I was listening to the soundtrack for MFS this morning in the car, and I was remembering the complaints that I've read on here about the lack of the characters singing their emotions in song. First of all, I have to say, I honestly never noticed the lack of 'show tunes' in the film. I liked the...

    The Courtsey Car

    Ooh, I don't know where any of them are, but I'd love to see a detailed list started here. I took my kids to see original Muppet puppet exhibits in Jackson MS last year and Atlanta GA this year, so it would be fun to possibly do a pilgrimage to see the vehicles next summer. Where's the...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I have no plans for a Walter at the moment, but I'll probably make an 80's Robot since I have that similar-looking restaurant premium robot already on hand. I bet Christian could hand-sculpt a Walter with a great likeness, though. The easiest characters to customize from the upcoming movie...

    Contact Juggler makes own Jareth costume...

    I just saw this posted over at TheRPF.com, thought my Muppet Central friends might enjoy! Zlurpo wrote: "I wanted to show a link to a video of me wearing a costume from the film Labyrinth. This is the first costume worn by David Bowie's character in the film (I think he has a new one every...

    Actually, the scan of the loose accessory doesn't look all that much better than the photo taken of the one in a carded Link's blister. ~shrug~ Who knew? Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I think I found my loose Starhog magazine last night, at least the box it ought to be in. Do you still need a better scan of it? If you were going to sell that broken Zoot, how much would you want for it? I need a 'beater' Zoot to customize into a purple tux Zoot, but the prices are way too...

    Retired Muppets will move to Atlanta

    I was there last month, and posted this in my personal thread elsewhere on this forum. Just noticed this one and thought it could use some pics, so I'm gonna cut and paste it here too! First, a quick video overview, to kinda show where some things are in relation to one another...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Oh, many's the time I've thought up a 'new' custom idea, only to realize it's something Quinn made many years ago and has been buried in my subconscious ever since. I've tried to track down Quinn for a chat, but I never got a response. Didn't try Facebook, though, as I don't have a real active...
