    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    I think its probably a nightmare with a screen reader Count - we ought to make Disney XD aware that we have a lot of Muppet fans who have disabilities who may struggle with this. It is a very important issue. The way it works for me. I type Muppets.com and you wait for it to load into the...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I don't think the fur will be an issue - that was only an issue on the prototype and it doesn't relate at all to what they use at the factory. Only one person said they would have preferred Gonzo wasn't made - i think we needed a Gonzo at some point. I'm sure everybody would love the main...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Hang on a minute, remember these are supposed to be REPLICAS? I'm not sure you are grasping the concept of these. It's what the original mission from Master Replicas was - to create ACCURATE REPLICAS of the ORIGINAL PUPPETS USING THE SAME PUPPETS AND SIMILAR MATERIALS. I don't dispute that...

    The Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread

    Long time reader, first time poster to the Brand New Ask Jim Lewis thread or as i like to affectionately call it the "Jim Lewis, didn't we torture him enough already last time thread" Thanks for answering our questions Jim, truly appreciated. I wanted to ask about "Americas Next Muppet", i...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Firstly, comparing these luxury items to a living disabled child is so wrong and way over the top, there is no comparison for all manner of reasons. Not sure what you were thinking there. Muppet fans SHOULD expect the highest standards, and feel free to comment openly - just because it's...

    Important serious announcement

    Sorry to hear that Bill, but i will say it does you REALLY good to have a break away from the net and forums for a while occasionally - i took over a year break not too long ago and just came on once in a while. I know it's a great community and it might feel like some kinda family but i felt...

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    Yeah the line sure needs pimpin! lol. I agree about the smaller Muppets thing, and would also definitely buy more than one Rizzo if it could be converted into a generic Rat. I am getting all kinds of thoughts about a "Rat Tours" setup, and after all - IT IS THE YEAR OF THE RAT! I have also...

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    While a lot of people do want the break in Piggy because of the wallet savings i think the talk of bumping her back was probably because of development time. Piggy is the one at most risk of just basically looking terrible if they don't get it exact and Terry is only just starting on his...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    They deserve it after what they charge. I paid well over the equivalent of $100 for a 6 red rose bouquet and a large box of chocolates to be delivered, and then about $30 for a medium size plush teddy. Funny how nothing is on special near Valentines day. :eek:

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    I think the rat may well be next after da Fozz. Travis seemed to be saying that Piggy could get bumped back a bit.

    ..... and now we all know who to come to if ever our Animals and Gonzo's start rotting! :D

    Sesame Street Protos

    It can get a little confusing around here, with 27 different (and in some cases, similar) forum sections - it seems like sometimes even the mods find it hard and the positioning can be a bit of a brainteaser. I'm in favor of obviously wrong threads being moved and duplicates being combined, but...

    How much buying power is present here

    Yeah i think changing the eyes is going to give him a lot more character, as long as any pics are taken slightly from a distance to avoid the nose texture looking bad. I saw the pic on the main page and i think that is the best example of how these should ideally be grouped to show their best...

    How much buying power is present here

    LOL, i think you have a point there. I'm really not sure how best to store my Animal. Kermit should be ok though. I will say that i have been impressed with Jamies photography, Gonzo doesn't look bad at all from a distance and angle when lit properly - i am almost sold on him. In a group...

    Preliminary Thoughts on Master Replica's Fozzie Bear

    AMEN! The collectors want these to be "Replicas" and i would pay almost any price for a Fozzie like Terry's prototype. I have felt better about Gonzo since seeing some of the better lit side angle shots but the Muppet puppets are beautiful - you shouldn't have to look at your replica from the...

    Muppets.com relaunches with Disney XD

    Love the new videos. Amazing how different the puppet Animal looks from the current Animal poser. I like how they have the puppet currently, looks great. I noticed they have the real Muppet news scrolling above the Newsman - nice touch!

    Empire acquires rights to Jim Henson screenplay

    Frank wouldn't even touch this if his career was on the skids and he was reduced to doing Yoda ad's for Happy Meals.

    How much buying power is present here

    I would be totally up for a modern Gonzo, in fact i prefer modern Gonzo. I would lay down the cash right now for one that looked like Terry's prototype, but i think that Travis said that as much as they could put something out with loads of warnings about not breaking off the snout, someone...
