    Here's hoping the Muppet line gets enough support to make it to the likes of Rizzo and Pepe. I'd love to have both of them.

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    So in honor of this momentous occasion, and in an effort to pass what is going to feel like a painfully long wait: How do you plan on displaying Kermit? I'm going to likely get a display case from www.casesforcollectibles.com, and put it up on a pedastal about four foot high or so. What...

    I just wanted to throw in my two cents about the Collector's Society. You get a $50 coupon for Disney items, and if you're not a Star Wars fan, you can always sell the physical kit (pin, mini saber) and get a bit of your money back. If you have friends or family that collect Star Wars swag from...

    That's the best Master Replicas Comic Con news I've read!

    It appears what happened was the product was named "Expected to ship in September" in the inventory, so when the shipment date moved up, the product name remained the same.

    Amy, Customer Service Manager for Master Replicas, and a regular at the Rebelscum.com forums confirmed that the photos hanging in the board room do NOT necessarily represent any current projects. A lot of SW fans were going gaga when they saw the photo of the Commander Gree (Revenge of the Sith)...

    Yeah, the display case thing seems to always come up with MR. Big cases like this (like what would be needed for Kermit) drive up the costs dramatically. So then people complain because it's too expensive. But people also get mad because it doesn't have a case. Although Im thinking since this is...

    The cases from CFC are acrylic, so you'll definitely save coin over a glass case. Lighter weight too.

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    I'd highly recommend CasesforCollectibles.com. They make a wide range of cases, and will make cases in just about any dimensions you offer. I had (had being a very subjective word in this case) to get a case for my Sauron replica helmet, and they were able to quickly create one for me. The cases...

    I know many of the people behind this project, and I know their love and passion for Muppets (and for Disney, and for Star Wars and all the other licenses they work on). I see this Kermit replica as a loyal tribute to what Mr Henson spent his life creating. Kermit is a living character on his...

    I wouldn't entirely discount the possibility of Disney allowing the release of replica walkarounds, especially based on vintage costumes. They've already allowed the release of replica vintage mouseketeer ears (like Annette Funicello wore), and have allowed the release and creation of vintage...

    Were they all "metal" (or at least lookalike metal), or were they part lookalike bone as well? I believe the all metal version is from FactoryX, and there was another version with a bone hand and metal claws from Diamond.

    Master Replicas has never produced Wolverine Claws, and actually haven't released any Marvel replicas yet. Cyclop's visor is coming next year, and will be their first. There have been Wolverine Claws produced, but Master Replicas has never made any. Are you sure you're not thinking of the claws...

    I love how people that dont like a certain product instantly label it's fans as "fanboys". I absolutely agree with the idea that everyone should be able to state their opinions, no matter how different, and I certainly respect your view. And although I dont agree with it, I'm not going to berate...

    Also keep in mind that the Kermit in the photo was shot with flash photography as well, which drains a lot of the coloration (people were freaking out about photos of the MR YWing as well, which also suffered due to flash photography). Nobody is claiming Kermit to be a "prop" or a "special...

    Given that the piece is that far along, any idea when an actual release might happen? Q1 2006 perhaps?
