Most of my experience with Sherri Lewis' characters was on a morning show she had inthe early 90's. As with all puppets on Video, she most likely used a variety of methods. If the puppet was sitting on something, with the puppeteer hidden below, chances are the simple string method was used. If...

"Here's my attempt to infringe on someone else's copyright- and I'll shame anyone who points it out". Nice. I don't mind the replicas at all, but dude, if you can't take the heat...

The arms are basically modified socks- you know how you have to kinda push extra sock material into your hand to make the mouth? These puppets are sown to keep the mouth permanently in that shape. The arms and legs are probably done with a simple string or lever mechanism- something that's built...

Hey a fellow Leap Frogger! I just finished illustrating two of thier books!

Yeah you could reverse engineer it I guess, but the risk of ruining such a high price item may not be worth it to some. With a bit of trial and error some members of this board have gotten "perfect" Kermit's just by eyeballing or using the Fisher price pattern with modifications. So while you...

Not impossible, but probably overly complicated.

Hilarious! Great natural voice for Mayberry (probably something you've perfected long ago but this is the first I've seen him performed!), and you are quick with those ad libs. Great job!

Wow that is really really nice. I think the proportions are just about perfect. The only thing that I would change is that hte eyes might be a bit too far apart. But I'm only going from memory. You did a darn fine job! I actually like that he's so big. I was surprised when seeing the...

There's nothing wrong with reselling an official product that's copyrighted, it's selling your own creation based on a character that you don't own the copyright too.

I was just paraphrasing what Brian Henson says on the Commentary of MTI.

What B. Henson said was that the eyes were painted with special paint that contained thousands of little glass beads, which makes it highly reflective. There was just a tiny light on the camera- bright enough that the eyes reflected it, but not enough to illuminate anything else. What he's...

looks like there must be a solid form under there.

Hey I second "Fondue". Very muppety name.

it would definately be unwieldly for one puppeteer but perhaps one or both of the motions was something that could be semi remotely controlled?

Wes, I've just posted my thoughts on Wembleys eyes: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?p=412072#post412072

Forgive me if this has been satisfactorily answered before. I've seen the question of Wembleys eyes before, and while I don't have a definitive answer, my suspicion is that there was more than one mechanism involved. What it looks like is that one mech rotated the actual orb of the eye, perhaps...

Ruttager. Definately Ruttager.

I'll chime in too as someone who's always been interested in both areas.

Literally just saw both of these jokes minutes ago. You're confusion comes from the fact that Grover says "Rim shot" not "Wind CHime". A Rimshot is that drum and cymbal beat that often accompanies a joke, usually a bad joke. Grover made his joke, then looked to the band offstage expecting a...
