Pete (Louis Zorich) is not dead. Not according to any info I could find anyway. IMDB has no indication of it, nor does any other web pages I could find. -Artie

It's a good question and the answer is this: If you purchase Muppet printed fabric, patches, etc, you can sell the clothes, hats, blankets that you make out of them because the Henson/Disney Co have already made their money when the initial patch/fabric was purchased from the store. So even...

That was actually David Rudman doing Animal. -Artie

Hey there PHDSwing, It's Artie. How is good ol' Soundstage 5? I heard about your trip from our twin friends. I'm glad someone else I know has read the script, and seen the puppets. I'm most impressed with how they handled Kermit. They best be releasing some merchandise for those...

Don't want to step on Justin's toes, but if there's anything he doesn't have that you still need, lemme know as I'm very interested in a few of your things, mainly Days of Swine and Roses. You can contact me at MrTheFrog@aol.com. -Artie

E-mail me toyman a MrTheFrog@aol.com. I have a few of those (Great Santa Switch, Don't Eat the pictures, some SNL stuff). I'm looking for a few things that you might have- Andie McDowell on Muppets Tonight, The Muppets Go Hollywood, the Muppets on Puppets, Tale of the Tinkerdee, Muppets on...

I have the entire set, and they are awesome. The pinnacle of my collection. Animal is not one of my favorite characters but his bust is perfect. It's the best likeness of him ever done. Dr. Teeth is also pretty perfect. -Artie

I agree with Wiggy, there is little chance of a messy Chef repaint being that it's been done already. Will I buy the new one? Of course. This is the signature version from the show and therefore he will take over the kitchen. The blue striped one will have a pig nose strapped to him and be...

Thanks. Ma was sculpted from scratch out of Sculpey. So there wasn't a base figure. She took approximately 3 days considering research, sculpting, and painting. -Artie

I just noticed that this was put up. It was actually done around Christmas time, but it's just being posted now due to the club website delays. You can check it out with a description of how it was made at the Palisades Collectors Club site (members only) or Pics only at ...

Hi everyone, Some of you may have seen some of my muppet customs on my web page (if not the URL is at the bottom of this message). For a long time, I've been considering making Fraggle Rock ones, but I'm kinda short on reference and was wondering if anyone could help me. The first...

No he didn't. -Artie

Exactly, there are so many skilled builders looking for work it would be ridiculous, but the press in general seems to always have their facts wrong when it comes puppet things as I'm sure you've experienced. As far as who is at Den Design now, I'm not really sure. We shot the first season...

Rick is an incredibly talented Puppet Builder, but alot of the puppets he's holding on his Crank Yankers pages are characters he performed rather than built. I wish he had built more of them. His puppets are very finely crafted and much easier to manipulate than alot of the other ones. -Artie

Actually I know the information I've provided to be 100% accurate, as I've been with the show since before we started production back in January 2002. In Season 1, I was a part-time puppeteer, builder, and wrangler, and in seasons 2 and 3, I've been a principal puppeteer. That is absolutely...

Actually yes they do. The writers write the premises for the calls. Also, they sit in the room (while the comedians are making the calls) with a dry-erase board, listening and scribbling ideas to help the comedians with the direction of the call. And when the call is finished they write all...

Did it ever cross your mind that the feathers falling off might have been part of the "gag"?
