Another bump...as i would rather this not get lost in the shuffle... Latest update- there is some thoughts now about making a smaller sized figure of John Lennon. Something i have been considering for about a month, but at this point i am not absolutely sure if i will undertake the project...

Just bumping this thread up the list so those who may have missed it can catch it! :flirt:

I remember those Sideshow Gelflings....we used to have a Borders video shop near where i live that sold cool figures and collectibles. One day i went in to look at some of the new stuff they had, and was shocked and elated to see Dark Crystal boxes with figures inside! That elation deflated...

Thanks kdking. I appreciate your comments. I was not aware of 'The Thunderbirds' and that style of marionette until i noticed it kept being brought up in different places once folks saw 'George'. Now that i have seen some photos, i can now understand the comments! Here are some new photos of...

Apologies for getting off topic.....i need to get back to talking about 'George'! Some fun facts about him for those interested- 'George' is over 6ft tall...Harrison's actual height i beleive. The ring he wears is a reproduction of a ring George himself wore often in the mid 80's. It was...

Yep..just saw this myself ( longtime poster there for years). It is pretty much definate at this point. Next week we should have the release date(s). Get pumped!

So do we now know officially that it WILL be released/issued for purchase by EMI? They will have a heck of a collectible on their hands. They would be stupid not to do it! First off, QUEEN is still huge over in the UK and Europe in general..heck, Queen Fans the world over will buy this...

Me too...i LOVE BEAR! ( sorry..now back on topic!) :p

Yes, but nothing is uploaded for sharing at this point. I have videotaped TONS of stuff, much of it different shows and skits i have done over the years. To date, i have not invested in getting any of this stuff up on YouTube. If there is interest, at some point after the Holidays i will...

Thanks Vic! Yeah i know what you mean - most marionettes that you see 'out there' tend to always be made the traditional way , hard bodied. Many tend to be carved from wood giving them a hard look, and they are almost always very loosely strung. This makes them a bit floppy and difficult to keep...

It is just now dawning on me that i have neglected to post any photos in this thread! How silly of me....as this topic needs some photos. In my original post above i included a link to the thread i have going over at the Official GH Forum, but thought i would post some pix here directly so...

Wow Puppetainer..i am so warmed by your glowing words. You have made me a very happy gal tonight. :flirt: Many thanks for your kind compliments on my performance. Your thoughts have encouraged me to reconsider, and i thank you for your feedback. Yes i agree with you - chances are George's...

Much thanks for that clarification..i did not realise the figure was such a recent release! Hey someone out there who owns a toy company must be feeling my vibes to MAKE FIGURES from this movie! Yay! I SO hope they continue. I really like the look of this figure...totally the style of figure...

Sweet! I love Bear! It's too bad they cut him out of the live 'Playhouse Disney' stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios Theme Park. Hey Richard, nice to see you on here! It's Jenn from the Showbiz Forum! :wisdom: This story reminds me of my surprise phone call from Big Bird ! Man...

He is most definately a marionette. ALL of his movements are controlled above by strings, and there are NO electronic elements whatsoever. Even the eyes are controlled by string-pulling. I remember when i posted his first video on YouTube, i had to go back and add additonal comments as...

Many thanks to you Melonpool for the kind thoughts. Interesting idea. I have had some feedback from another forum where some folks suggested a similar thought, but instead of Paul they suggested George's own son Dhani. He now has a band of his own making it's way ( just finished their first...

Okay i checked out eBay last night and they have some up for bid ( NECA Skeksis). Really looks great....this is EXACTLY the kind of figure i was talking about wanting to see a series of. Looking at the photo of this item on eBay, i see the box has a sticker that implies this was to be the...

Thanks for the list gang...had no idea there was so much stuff ( well, even the stuff not produced!). I could'nt see the pic however....the link takes me to a alternative pic with caption. GREAT to learn however that there WAS a Skeksis figure made! I will have to scout ebay .... I agree-...

Hi Gang. A thought was going through my head the other day as i enjoyed another viewing of one of my favourite films -The Dark Crystal. Why has their never been any real action figures of these characters? Back in the late 90s there were tons of actions figures of various movie characters...

Wow...amazing to learn this. A lot of folks are asking 'Why doesn't the Henson organization make a effort to get Hoggle back'?.... Maybe they are just not interested? I know..a shocking thought, but perhaps they are just not overly up for taking back what is obviously falling apart? Maybe...
