Yeah, it's no frills to the extreme! After Chinatown, it looks like Timmy is going to Sidney Australia!!! WOW! Behold the awesome power of the internet!!!

When I created the .wmv file, I thought it would be nice and small. Looks like it's huge. (Like I said, this is a learning experience!) Sometime in the next couple of days, I'll try to make the file smaller and in a more universal format.

Recently, my wife and I hit Hollywood with a simple sock puppet and a video camera. See the video here. Read about the project here. We would like to involve as many people as possible in this thing, and send this puppet all over the world!!! -- Scraps

Okay, how about we dispense with the "OMG" and "OMFG" and just call the group "Omega." As for a logo . . . How about a plain old un-romantic "upper case" Omega? Danny - CONGRATULATIONS! I haven't been able to see your videos yet (I have personal issues) but I'm sure they look great! On a...

Okay "Friend." I'll take my copyright-thumping elsewhere. I'm sure that by belittling my concern and by extension me you only meant to be funny. I hope that worked out for you. And thanks, really, for putting me in my place. You are so right. It is crazy to care. -- Scraps

Zoot - I can't speak for Buck, but I know why I react the way I do at this sort of thing. I'm working on creating lasting creative properties, and I don't want to spend my time hunting down and pressing the law against the temples of those who would try to water down my properties. Look...

DevonMiles, Amicus - Yeah, you're right. We're just a bunch of talentless hacks who are jealous of the few good guys out there filling a very real need for Muppet replicas. What's the harm, anyway? I was totally wrong. Geez, they're only stupid puppets! What's the harm in watering down...

Ravagefrackle - You are absolutely right. I apologize for that . . . I meant no disrespect at all. I forget sometimes that sarcasm doesn't work in print! -- Scraps.

Chill out? There's a WORLD of difference between saying "look at this replica" and BUY my replicas. There are regular posters here who build replicas for their own enjoyment. They post pictures. They don't profit off it. :boo: -- Scraps

Dude - Not cool. Seriously. If the MHC finds out that Muppet Central has become a "bootleg Muppet eBay" it's gonna get shut down. I don't know why Phillip Chapman didn't close this thread and bounce you. Your puppets look great. If only you could use your power for good, rather than...

You know, the great thing about all the Muppet knock-offs that are floating around this holiday season is that there are enough "official" muppet performers to use them. I hope Disney is paying attention. Why the heck should they bother with the Creature Shop? [joke.] Seriously - great...

A few things: First: I dug around on the message boards, and found this earlier thread on a similar subject. Food for thought. Second: My first posting I referenced an "open source" webcomic entitled Jenny Everywhere as sort of the ideal scene. In fact, if you check out that link, you...

. . . and another thing. I don't know how anyone else feels about this, but I say anyone who is willing to design the site and maintain it as webmaster can have first dibs on any possible merch revenues. The whole darn thing is open source, so anyone's free to open their own cafepress store...

As for who's gonna upload all the videos, how about we set up some sort of a wiki arrangement? Only registered users can upload content . . . We can make it "Omega Company Central Command Center." Each person's log in identity can be the name of their Funderling. To the casual observer, it...

As Allen Ginsburg once said, "First Thought, Best Thought." It's decided because someone said it. Thanks for naming them the Funderlings! Yes, let's get the show on the road. If you haven't already, read this blog posting from Buck Beaver. He 'da man. - Scraps

I think so far we have a loose framework that will allow for lots of individual orginal thought. For instance, my monster scout may wind up accidentally becoming a movie star. You know ... he's investigating a long line of people standing around reading copies of the same piece of paper...

The monsters are planning on taking over the planet, but they need to figure out how to do it, etc. The "Continuity Monster" is the keystone that holds together all the different bits. He's the Monster King/Overlord/Head Bureaucrat and he's in charge of all the "Scout Monsters." The Scouts...

Fantastic idea!

Well, let's hear more ideas! -- Scraps

I really like the idea of postcards. That really opens up the field. This project reminds me very much of "Flat Stanley." (link: http://flatstanley.enoreo.on.ca/) My wife and I helped out a young friend of ours with his Flat Stanley when we first moved out to L.A. It was lots of fun...
