Here's what I think a Pepe Pook would kinda sort of look like. Note - this isn't a real design. :rolleyes:

Oooh. A Miss Piggy one to come! I'd expect they'll eventually get around to Beaker too. I just got the first four Muppet ones and they're fantastic. Also, the Disney Store has a cool beach towel with all of the characters on it.

I'd expect Piggy to be the most expensive. The wig, the clothes... There are no pre-orders yet. We're still waiting on that. Rizzo's prototype is definitely higher quality than the MR posers. They were really flying blind with how to get them made. I really would like to see an actual factory...

EFX is reportedly only making enough Rizzos to fill their pre-orders up to 1,000 units so they're not flooding the market like what's happened before. They've apparently done so with other products. :o The discussion on pricing here hasn't really about members being broke and wanting Rizzo to...

Let's just hope this project doesn't fall into another oobliette. :scary:

Even bad Star Wars always sells pretty quickly. They might be fickle, but far less than us Muppet fans. I've personally sold thousands of dollars of high and low end Star Wars collectibles in the shop of different quality. There are some stellar Muppet items out there that just sit on the shelf...

Maybe you shouldn't say things like that at all. The reasons behind the statement are understood here, but that sentiment hasn't come off very well on the forum thus far. Frog knows how much I hold my tongue about touchy subjects around here. ;) That's all I'm saying. And, no, you're not a jerk. :p

I completely get that. :) In fact, that's a lot of what I hear in the shop all day. People like the MR posers but are uninterested in purchasing them even the much lower price they are now than the initial SRP. We get some really wealthy collectors in the store and tourists from all over the...

Sure, it's true that you can't always get what you want. So are a lot of things. But stating that as you have is a little condescending and not very thoughtful to those who supported the line thus far. I'm sure EFX is trying to keep prices down and there are realities to that, but there's a...

The Real Wold Muppet Replica Skinny: Most of us Muppet obsessed fans know how expensive it is to make a Muppet poser or puppet and they are higher quality and more nuanced than a stuffed animal, however these are not factory made. An authentic poser is created by puppet builders working with...

Thanks. We tried to make something special. Note that we even squeezed Tutter in there. :cry:

Personally, I usually skip the 3D versions of films even if they're heavily praised. "How to Train your Dragon" is great in 2D! I'm sure the 3D is fantastic too, but there's enough of a story to carry the film no matter what version is seen. The part that kinda concerns me is the directorial...

While I'm also very tired of the 3D gimmick too, I still have to completely disagree with your assessment of completely writing the project off as some sort of trendy hack-job because of the use of the technology. The quality of 3D depends upon the implementation, so let's hope they use it...

I agree. There's a good mixture of the best of those elements. The other projects on the reel were a little differently, less anime styled. More my type of thing.

Just did a search for the 2011 Muppet calendar and came up with this result. I'm not sure what to think of it. They aren't showing much. :)

Here's a YouTube English language version trailer of one of the films listed called "Nocturna" that was evidently released somewhere people speak our language. There's much more high quality animation overseas than I've been made aware. Much more than just the Miyazaki stuff that's either...

It's there. Maybe do a hard refresh. :)

Has anyone seen any of the films from this Barcelona company? Here's the reel posted by a friend of mine today. I think "Nocturna" was released 10 years a go in the PAL format, but I'd love to get my hands on a US DVD copy. :)

Personally, I'd like to collect them all if possible. Starting at such a high price for a lesser needed character puts someone like me in the position of thinking that if I do buy Rizzo that I might not be able to afford characters like Fozzie and Piggy later. However, if I don't buy him and...

Yeah, I work in different areas of collectibles and have always understood that, but - - EFX should do and are doing their best to consider all of us fans who did support the MR posers in the first place. It's amazing these aren't ten times more, but the market and costs are what they are...
