    What Pig preference do you have?

    I like that look too...the full face and the hair line close to her eyes. I have a feeling that they will use the head mold from MTM, but the final stylings can be tuned into how ever the look they want ie different ears or wig or eye style/placement.

    No.I asked about them making Muppet props and vehicles, but their license only covers muppet photo puppets.They are making Disney props and sculptures, but it doesnt extend to the Muppets.

    Probably not, but it would still be great to get a photo puppet version of them!

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I guess one way they could do it, is by selling them as a head and "skinned" body(like a kit form) so it could pack into a smaller box.Then it is up to the buyer to put it on a manikin or make a body for it.I know there would then be fears from Disney that it could be turned into a performing...

    Hey, Bryan! Are the posers going to come with a stand(if they dont stand by themselves) and a numbered plaque and COA?

    I wouldnt of thought to have removeable clothes would make it Fashion,unless there was Fashion accessories! Having removeable clothes is great for cleaning or if they get moth eaten or something.Plus, if someone wanted to make their own clothes, then that is up to them.I just hope that under the...

    That is my guess to, that Tonner has the fashion doll licence now and it would go into their market area. As to the other question, Bryan said that he has a resource to ensure that the posers can be mass produced.I do know that there is someone in The States, making the prototypes first,before...

    Something to do with the licensing changing to fashion doll category,(if the clothes were made removeable) which isnt covered.

    A bit more info for you...the edition sizes will probably not be more than 1000 pieces per character.The prices are still being worked out, and the clothes probably wont be removeable.

    Here is my Rizzo... I cant wait to get an official Rizzo.I wish they would put in a moving ventrilioquist style mouth mech, but I guess then he might be croaching on a performing puppet? My Rizzo is made from a felt type material.I guess if they are finding it hard to find Rizzo fur...

    The same as before....a sample is made and then it is sent to China to be replicated.Who ever is making the Artist Prototypes is keeing a low profile.It might be within eFX.

    Looks like efx will have to get themselves an I.T. Manager to keep their website up to date! Their Newsletters are still from last year and their team profile needs updating plus a muppet page needs to be added, so we can go to to find out the latest.

    WOW said that the Kermit poser MIGHT be 10% smaller, but still waiting on confirmation.Terry Angus has also hinted that there was size varriation from what he made and what the factory "copied".Therefore, I dont know about there being a size difference between the Kermit Studio Puppet and photo...

    The problem was that the final factory prototype was judged OK, but when the factory went into full swing, they didnt give the same care, and when MR received them, it was too late.

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I am saying that going by the Past history and that it isnt realistic.For that to happen, the factory would have to build spot on prototypes each time, which aint gunna happen.Take shipping alone, each one takes around 2 months travel time by Sea from China to The states-there's 8 months gone...

    I doubt Puppet Heap or Disney will be making these posers.Disney's involvement would be to supply patterns and reference material and consult and give their approval.eFX would have to organise the construction, prior to it going to China for production.I also doubt that four posers could be made...

    Although when we think of Sesame street and Kermit's Muppet Newsflash out fit when we think of Reporter kermit, he was also a Reporter in The Great Muppet Caper, which the license DOES allow. It is a shame that Disney couldnt find a stock photo(or taken a picture) of Rizzo in his signature...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I will have to wait on some info, but I beleive Rizzo might be first. There was also talk of a Reporter kermit, which was going to be first.Although eFX has some staff that used to work at Master Replicas, they are different Companies and you can feel comfortable that they will be delivering...
