    Did I pass up a great find?

    Steppin' Out Gonzo (w. Bernice) is a figure that I always need more of for customs, plus you can never have enough chickens, so I thought that $4.99 price was a great tip. Took me two days of glitches and customer service to actually sign up and put items in my cart... only to find out the...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Okay, this is still in its rough early stages, but it's been a fun experiment to make Jim-as-Kermit sing a duet with Jim-as-Rowlf. I plan to refine this more, tweak the timing in places, and possibly have them take turns on certain lines before dueting on the choruses, etc. Enjoy! Alex

    Lots of MUP3's, Wanna Trade?

    Seeking the entire Sesame Street Fairy Tale album if anyone has it on mp3. Somehow I never knew this one existed. Alex

    Muppets sequel plot and promotional photo in Entertainment Weekly

    Good eye! I first thought it resembled the early teaser pic for the previous film, with everyone around the table, except Walter was where Kermit was. Hmmm... the two teaser pics do sort of have a similar vibe. I don't see Bobo in there, though, as one person commented. Alex

    Muppet Babies Castle

    I have these. Or, more correctly, my wife does. I bought them for her from eBay. I bought three or four incomplete sets for pretty low prices, and then pieced everything together. Here are some shots of the figurines. These are the ones from the 'Imagination Park' train playset (a revamp of an...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Nice! I have a partially disassembled Smollet and a donor figure of Jack Sparrow in a ziploc bag together somewhere for the purpose of doing this exact same 'Pirates of the Amphibian' custom. Great paint job you did on the jacket! As for the broken Uncle Deadly, can you take a pic? I may can...

    The j3h action figure photography, collection, display and whatever thread

    Haha, I *just* saw that ancient post of mine a few minutes ago while looking for a particular photo, and then I wandered in here and found this. Looking good! Alex

    Breakability of Figures

    Vaudeville Statler and Waldorf have a very fragile piece of plastic for their 'pelvis'. It's too brittle and too thin-walled, and I have actually seen them broken IN the package before they were ever opened. I've done some successful 'hip replacements' on them by cutting a thicker piece of...

    Backstage Playset Instructions?

    I've owned three Backstage playets, one of which was unopened, and I don't recall any of them coming with an instruction sheet. Alex

    Palisades Muppets vs Dinosaurs

    They made a Spike? I thought they only made these six: Baby, Earl, Fran, Robbie, Charlene, and B.P. Richfield. As for scale, they fudged the scale of the Dinosaurs figures. Baby was almost as large as Earl, and Richfield was shorter than Charlene. So it's really hard to say which...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Great work on Bobby and his babies! I think he already did a Frank and Jerry pair to complement the Palisades Jim. EDIT: Yes, he did it way back in this thread on page 23. He mentions them in post #450, but the links don't work anymore. Please repost some pics of them Christian! Alex

    Awesome work as always, Christian. I wish you could mold and cast these and offer them to the rest of us. Alex

    Drum kit for Animal replica

    Hey guys, I LOVE these drum kit displays to show off the replica Animals. Great idea! I've never seen that last name for Zoot. I did a Google search and there is someone named Zoot Simms, but he doesn't appear to be the Muppet character. Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    If I do any of the BoRhap costumes, I want to make Janice with the longer hair and hat. Loved the look for her. Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Yep. I also had one other Zoot project in mind at one point, but it's been so hard to find parts for him, I don't even remember what it was gonna be. Alex

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Yep. We've got a CD with songs from Muppet Family Christmas that some fan had ripped and posted online, and we listen to it in the car every year. In this cut-down version of the special, the isolated NBC poem by Ernie and Bert is immediately preceded by a soundbyte from Kermit to Robin, and I...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    No plans for a Paul Williams, but I do have a project that requires pieces from Zoot if you wind up with a spare that you want to sell for a good price. Alex
