Thanks, Mike. As Maxwell Smart once said, Missed him by that much !! (Two grand)

I did ! got out bided on Pepe. Cant believe he went $10,000 more than Robin William's Mork Space Suit. But at least I got Tin Thing's head !

Final prices....Gonzo $11,000 Tin Thing $6,000 Pepe $25,000 !!!

Rapidly losing interest in the Kermit Chia head. Takes one hour to soak the head in water, one hour to moisten the seeds. Then the head has to be kept topped up with water, which means several top ups per day due to it evaporating and seeping through the clay. All this and the sprouts only last...

The Muppets hot Wheels line must be doing well, as they have released more cars, which must be about the third wave.

Madame Trash heap would be ideal !

Chia have released a Kermit head, where you can grow Kermit's disco wig. Only seems to be available on Amazon. Thanks to Muppet Stuff for the head's up. (Pun intended!)

I am fine, thanks, Stuart. Nice family !

Dare I tell you, but you will find out anyway.;) It has now moved to four days in October ! (17-20). May the person with the most money and least cents, win!:)

Did any of the Muppet items have "Property of The Muppets" or "Disney" production tags or reference numbers on them? I doubt Pepe is screen used from "The Muppets" movie because he was only in one scene and he just raised his arms, which was probably done by rods as there was no jerky motion...

I gave you 4 votes. The vote button only seems to work once, so to use it again, I closed the link and then opened it up again. Good luck.

The Muppets are for all ages, but most people seem to think they are only for kids. Jim Henson had a big battle to launch "The Muppet Show" as a prime time family show and America knocked him back and he had to do it with English backing, when it became a hit. And don't forget the pilot was...

They seem to be available only in the UK on ebay.

You Toys have funny names! We have had Peekaboos, Pops, Popcorn and now Wikkeez! Kermit is the first.

Thanks, Mike.

Gonzo's plaque hasn't been seen, so here it is showing his estimate between $5,000 to $7,000. Cheaper than Pepe !!!

So, to get Tin Thing's metallic look, is the fabric some kind of Rubbery or Latex based fabric, like Silver Lycra? I hope not, because I used that to make Space gloves and boots for Miss Piggy, and within 10 years, it had tarnished and cracked! Now I have grey velour, which isn't the same, but...

What material is Tin Thing's animatronic head made of?

Thanks for the info, Mike. What sort of restoration did you do on Gonzo and Pepe? Which parts have been replaced? Without naming names, can you say if these came from a Private collector or how they get to be up for sale?
