Hey folks. Some of you probably know about "An Evening With Jim Henson and Frank Oz", a kind of forum that was taped back in 1989 where Jim and Frank sat on stage. They answered questions from the audience and performed some of their characters. Something that sticks in my mind about the...

Hi, everyone. I'm working on a puppet that will need hair. I've read a lot of the hair-related threads on here that have helped me out a lot...but I have a question. How much is a "hank" of hair? Here's the hair I've been looking at. Go to this link...

Hi, everyone. I'm working on a puppet that will have blinking eyes and I plan to use ping pong balls for the eyes and foam eyelids. If I can pull it off, the eyes will blink. Kind of along the same wavelength as Clifford's. When I cut out the eyelids, though, I noticed that there was...

Hey, folks. I stumbled across this site while looking for suitable eyes for a puppet I'm building. They're realistic doll eyes, some of which are round, acrylic and might be OK to attach blinking mechanisms to. You'll have to check it out for yourself, though. Depends on what kind of puppet...

Okay, we all know about the licensing of which characters from which shows Palisades can make. Some of us are grumbling (myself included) that they can't make JHH figures. (Leon would be awesome!) But is there any impact us fans can have to influence the licensing to include JHH and other...

Hi everyone. I'm making a couple of humanoid puppets out of regular ol' polyurethane foam. It's that 3/4 inch thick mattress stuff...not the egg crate stuff, but flat and that basic yellowish foam color. It's better quality (or so the package stated) than other foams, and I got it at...

Picture of "Popcorn" Scooter from GMC--please help Hi, everyone. I'm getting ready to email a friend of mine, and I'm trying to collect web links to the three times where Scooter sells popcorn in TMM, GMC and TMTM. (I'm trying to prove to him that Scooter sells popcorn in all three movies...

Hi, everyone. I'm working on an art project that features a lot of people, including Muppeteers! You can read more about it at this link: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=14779 My question is, does anyone know the eye colors for the following Muppeteers?: Jim Henson...

Hello, everyone. I'm working on a puppet that will have a mouth that will be just a slit in the foam, like how :confused:'s is. Is there anyone out there that has made this kind of mouth...and if so, are there any tips or techniques I should follow? I've never built this kind of mouth...

Okay, we know about those ultra rare Kermit and Rowlf Ideal puppets from the 1960's. But it has been rumored that a Snerf was made as well. Rowlf even mentions them in the original commercial! http://www.kermitage.com/html/collectibles/plushtoys/ideal.htm So, uh, did they actually make a...

Hi, everyone! Guess what? The E! Network will be running classic episodes of SNL, so there may be a chance we'll see some Land of Gorch skits. Here's the link to the SNL schedule: http://www.eonline.com/On/Snl/schedule.html Madeline Kahn will be on tomorrow (Friday), and I believe...

Hi, everyone. Over the years on MC, I've noticed that some of you have made homemade puppet versions of some of the Muppets. I know it's wrong to sell them (Ebay or elsewhere), but if you're just making them for yourself to add to your Muppet decor as fan art, that's ok, right? I was...

Hey, everyone. Guess what...the other night on my local FOX station was an ad for Subway (the sandwich place) and to advertise, they had three pictures of three burger patties landing on the counter with metallic CLANGGG! sounds and a fourth picture of one of their subs. Now, during this...

Today would have been Gilda Radner's 58th birthday. Happy Birthday Gilda! Convincing John

For you new MC'ers out there, I've been making different pieces of artwork depicting Gilda Radner. Each piece of art is shipped off to be on permanent display at a Gilda's Club affiliate (for more info, go to www.gildasclub.org). For those on here who have seen pictures of it, last year I made...

I guess this post could go under "TV Appearances" or "Puppetry", but I'll post it here. I was wondering if anyone else remembered the puppet I saw during the 80's on "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes" with Dick Clark and Ed McMahon. I watched that show a lot, and once in a great while...
