    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Agreed, that is kinda how i feel. When they knew they couldn't do a decent Gonzo they should have bumped up Fozzie and give Terry more R&D time to sort out some kind of plastic/foam alternative for the nose, if at all. A poorly recieved Gonzo could affect there even being a Fozzie. Though i...

    Figures.com looks back at Muppets

    I can honestly say i think the figures are the best Muppet product released to date. There are probably a few 80's Muppet items that come close but the variety of the line and the design/detail sets these apart from anything else.

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Do you not realise though, that as Chequepoint said, handing over your money on the basis of seeing a poor prototype with only the vague promise they are "working on it" and nobody, not even the customer service person who only gives vague answers, having to tell the people pre-ordering what it...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    The original prototype did look fairly good, i don't see why it couldn't use something like that. If it's anything to do with Disney feeling the stocking stuff will be longer lasting they need to consider it's supposed to be a replica, not a toy, and people have been sold these as using...

    Your Animal Replica Pictures

    I stand corrected, it had me fooled reading it through quickly this morning because of the chain mention. :halo: The photos people are showing after playing around with him a bit are looking a lot better.

    Lookin For Electric Mayhem Figures

    Yes, they are pretty good prices. Zoot is very rare, and the stage is a reasonable price. You can sometimes find a bargain stage a bit cheaper but thats very good. Janice is usually about $10 Mint if you keep watching the auctions.

    Your Animal Replica Pictures

    They are still advertising him for sale with a collar and chain (and "Mouth Expression") so if people have paid for that and not got it they oughta start asking for a free one if they start selling them in accessory packs. I like Animal, but yes, that revision you did actually brings the...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I respect your opinion, except ... it could be. This is down to technical design decisions (and maybe budget) at the moment, it's not that they can't choose to go another way with it or it isn't technically possible to do things better. If you look at Kermit or Fozzie, and to an extent...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    They could at least be using the right materials. You might not get an exact copy at the factory but while building an individual puppet using professional materials may cost a thousand or two replicate that design by 2000 and i would guess the costs would fall dramatically. I agree with...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I will agree we should wait and see, but i also think MR did promise something very high quality, they say made from the original designs and using similar materials. This isn't using similar materials and i just think they should have found some way better to make it and preserve it. The...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Agreed, the lip/jaw is an important revision and one that they could make and will greatly improve things. Just the soft nose material makes it look too much like a toy for me so thats my gripe, and i know its not likely to be changed. Kermit was very good, i think Animal is great from a...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I'm gonna be really honest here. At least from photo 2, it looks very poorly made because the nose/mouth is made out of the wrong materials and it really ruins it for me. It's still better than a lot of the merchandise we've had in the past but i was expecting way more from Master Replicas...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Yeah you are right. I had heard there was a major problem in the materials used to make Gonzo which makes him look "off" and it's not something they are able to change, and not even their fault. I'm sure they will do all they can to tweak the stuff that is possible to change and he'll look ok...

    Muppet Babies on Dvd!For Real!

    It's just a pirate seller who knows how to make good looking dvd's and covers. The material on them is illegal.
