    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    Well, flash photography can really adjust the colour level in a product. I don't for one moment think these guys are going to slip up on colour issues with the finished article. What i have noticed is there is a yawning chasm between those who have held it and those who have only seen pics on...

    Character Puppet styles!!

    Well, i can't provide pics...but yeah Animal has changed- sadly for the worst! The definitive Animal is 1976-77. By season three his head is already getting flatter and his hair shorter resulting in a tamer and less vibrant puppet. Just my opinion.:halo:

    Favorite Background Character

    Uncle Deadly-sinister,sauve and HORRORfyingly Hammy. Plus he is a wonderful dynamically designed puppet. Hilda,George and Mildred they added an older generation counterpoint to the other muppets,keeping the core characters-Kermit et al-younger. Gloat and Boppity,they just look cool...

    Muppets as british as fish n chips

    Well the Muppet Show has a very british concept to it in the tradition of Music Hall. But let us not forget that a lot of the vernacular and most importantly the Accents are American! Yes it was a British production,and also an overnight success with plenty of Merchandising to back it up,but...

    Muppet Season DVD Covers

    It's a bit irrelevent to us in the UK as we will most likely get another group shot. I have a feeling the curtain backdrop will be blue this time. Just a hunch.

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    Hey Kevin, just want to tell you that i think you and your team are doing a great job,despite the set backs and quibles about what most people,my self included,didn't realise was still the prototype. I made a few balanced(I hope!) critisms about said photos from Toy Fair but they are somewhat...

    how did u get into the muppets??

    I remember the first episode to air in the UK(Jim Nabors) was quite heavilly promoted on ITV up untill it was shown. I loved the abstract colourfull characters and the anarchy of it all. It left quite an impression being rather distinct,unique, even. The second episode to air was Sandy Duncan...

    Nice Idea

    A Wario Ware Style Muppet game with content representitive of the muppet show. I think that would really work,lots of short sketches and a frenetic pace. I like the design a number,song or sketch idea too...and what about a what not style create your own muppet feature?!!? Also loads of...

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    Does anyone happen to know what time period this "Poser" patern comes from?(I'm guessing it won't be the seventies.) When they do Animal i hope they dont pick a modern pattern to work from. My ideal would be the "Photocopy" from 1976-7. To me at least that IS Animal!(well,apart from an...

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    One thing that needs to be changed is the collar it should have more heft . As it stands it's a little too whispy and ends up looking slightly cheap. Just a little constructive critisism for MR. On the whole it's good.

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    He looks good. I would like to see some more shots from the side-shape and width of the neck,maybe with the head angled upwards to give it a more live puppety feel. But Kermit is obviously the victim of photography so it's difficult to make a clear judgement on the accuracy,although this is...

    Opinions: The end of the Muppet line

    Top five Figures-Animal,Kermit,Uncle Deadly,S9 Cheff and Dr strangepork Figures that were better-Lew Zealand,an amazing turn around from Ken and Co. Figures that were worse-Uncle Deadly,it's wonderfull to have such an accurately detailed sculpt but his colour appears way off model,and...

    After seeing the Sex and Violence pilot...

    I thought it was a facinating period piece,an intresting precursor to the Muppet Show. If i had to rate it on pure entertainment it wouldn't score to highly-but as a piece of Muppets archeology i'm more than willing to get my hands dirty. The highlight was the interplay between that lustfull...
