    Scooter replica?

    Ha Ha - Yeah, have someone make you one as a gift, and in return you let them "borrow" some cash that they never have to pay back.........:laugh:

    Scooter replica?

    This same subject has been touched on more times than not, technically someone cannot sell a puppet as "Kermit", "Elmo", or "Scooter", replica or not. But having one made or making one for yourself won't send Disney to your door. :)

    How to make a Muppet nose

    Depending on what type of material you're using, I've heard mention of velcro, or even thin magnets under the skin. Never tried it myself though.....

    How to make a Muppet nose

    I actually did make it flat and then glue it to a doll joint that I attached into the head of the puppet.

    How to make a Puppet?

    Hi Muppet Fan, Try searching thru some of the forums, maybe under "building" or "construction". Or try Youtube under Puppet Building for tutorials......it all starts with a pattern and an idea. And Happy Building!

    I agree with Muppetperson, the eggs come in different sizes and are great for starters...

    Puppet body Pattern?

    Oh, got it! I've seen this one too, but honestly I'm not sure it's necessary for Rowlf, but I do think they use one for the Honkers.....

    Puppet body Pattern?

    Hi Casey, Not sure what you mean by normal muppet body, I thought Rowlf was a gloved puppet like Herry and Cookie Monster, empty in the body? Thanks!

    Pricing Help for Bert and Ernie Prop Puppets

    Auction came up, great information included, including the part about the cute kid.... :) I'm sure they are 100% authentic, but Iwonder why they used such a weird shirt pattern for them? I was curious what you mean when you say "used as props"? And good luck with the auctions, they should sell...

    Pricing Help for Bert and Ernie Prop Puppets

    Did you try an eBay search under life-size or props? Honestly, I'm not sure there is a "set" value for things of this nature. You could start the bidding at $400.00 and see where it goes, or if you have a set price in mind, do them as a buy it now with a best offer option and see what people are...

    Redesigned Muppets for "The Muppets" movie

    Excellent point, They actually made a different Godzilla suit for each and every movie. Older suits were altered to use for water scenes and more dangerous stunts where the main suit could be damaged. I think alot of the changes over the years could also have something to do with "artistic...

    Need some help with making Rowlf-type eyes

    I have made a few in the past, another option is from a place called Out of the Box, they sell "Comical Eyes" which are about the same shape...

    Kermit pattern (sizing)

    Cute or Kill, I think you've hit the nail right on the head. Kermit is something I play around with off and on but so far I personally haven't found the pattern I'm looking for. But I really like the look of yours, and I can't wait to see it's progress! Elmo is much the same way, once you get...

    Jim Henson on Ethics

    I apologize for the confusion, my intention was not to misrepresent what you were saying, and was nothing to even do with Wimzie's House. I was actually trying to do the opposite by not editing your sentence... :) And yes, you are correct in that I think MADtv and SNL would also fall under this...

    What do You Like to See?

    Personally, I liked all the imperfections of the Muppet Show and the original Muppet Movie, rods and arm sleeves are all part of it.
