    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I'm a fan of Rizzo too, and would love to have him, but at this point I'm going to have to hold off and save money for Fozzie and Piggy (especially since I'm sure they'll be quite expensive). It's too bad, because I would probably get Rizzo if Fozzie and Piggy were out of the way. He looks...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Is Rizzo really a popular enough character to sell 500 at $400+? Time will tell I guess.

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    It'll be interesting to see how they price these. I'd pay almost anything (within reason) for Fozzie and Piggy but I personally couldn't pay more than $200 for Rizzo or Pepe – they just aren't as indespensible for me. My hope is that they come in at about that price but, judging from the...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Very, very cool! Thanks for the info about Fozzie! I'll be buying him just as soon as they make him available! I really, really wish eFX were starting out with Reporter Kermit and Fozzie as their first two posers and then moving on to Rizzo and then Piggy! No one asked (;)) but here's why I...

    D23 is a new club offered by Disney for collectors of Disney merchandise. There are going to be a few conventions around the country and the first is in LA in September.

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Well, I hope they attach the clothes with only a few threads here and there so that those of us who want to swap them out can. When thinking about it, besides Gonzo and Piggy, I can't imagine there'd be too many others that I'd want to mess with anyway. Most Muppets have their signature...

    I've always noticed the overbite. It's one of those great Muppet subtleties.

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I can't describe how excited I am about this! Judging from that newsletter (which is a better promo piece than MR ever put out), it looks like the posers are in very capable hands. Even though they're just stock photos, if Piggy and Rizzo look anything like the pics from the newsletter, they'll...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    You misunderstood. I meant taking pictures of their version of Kermit before he comes out and selling the reporter's jacket and hat from their version separately so that those of us who already have MR's version (and aren't going to spend another $200 on a new one) could purchase it. After all...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    My thoughts exactly. Heck, even take the promo photos with the two posers together – just come out with Fozzie first. If they do come out with a Reporter Kermit, it would also be a good idea for them to sell Kermit's jacket and hat separately – with a very steep profit margin. If done right...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    That'd be fine if they wanted to release a Reporter Kermit, but I hope they release Fozzie first. I understand why they'd want to get a Kermit of their own out there but, if these are truly high-priced high-quality replicas, the market has already been saturated with the original. Money...

    Please help - MR Animal bad hair day!

    Be careful when wetting the feathers – you can wet them too much which will make them too thin. I'd put some water on my fingertips and pull down slightly on the feathers as you pull your fingers through them. I also used a very, very slight bit of hair product on my fingers as well. Someone...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Too funny! I had completely forgotten about those! I guess I fixed those things pretty easily on my own, so they weren't a big deal to me and have completely slipped my mind as time has gone on. Yeah, in hindsight the pupil placement was a pretty big deal but the other things I'd consider more...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Amen. Ya' know some of the animosity could've come from their Star Wars line which is totally understandable. Everyone thinks they own Star Wars – it's a way of life to most people. I'm sure they received a lot of input and criticism for products that (as far as I can tell) are perfect...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    I should have chosen my words better. I posted that very, very late in the evening! No, they haven't gone under but are clearly on life support. Having laid off all of their employees besides two and basically halting production or selling off most of their lines unfortunately pretty much means...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    I have an infinite amount of love for MR and am incredibly thankful that we got such phenomenal posers. And that is why I am so passionate that they are a success – it's good for the company and ultimately good for us as fans and consumers. I hope that if there is a new company, they are able...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    MR dropping GB can only mean really bad things for them. Obviously, there had to be a contract signed or MR wouldn't have begun prototyping. They must have quite a bit of cash invested at this point to end production this abruptly. I would guess this means MR is selling off...

    Top 5 Master Replicas Muppet Wishlist

    1. Fozzie (MUST have the bear!) 2. Miss Piggy (if it never happens I wouldn't be too upset but it's be nice to complete the main 5) 3. The Mayhem (I want 'em all and couldn't rank them) 4. Pepe 5. Rizzo 6. Rowlf 7. Uncle Deadly (seriously, how cool would that be!)

    Will The Muppet Show be on Blu-ray?

    Well, Blu-ray would certainly be higher quality video, but I can't imagine the Muppets being very high on Disney's priority list for remastering to HiDef. But, it seems the season sets have sold well enough to eventually get the treatment. I think that eventually we'll see a complete...
