I can agree with you there. The thing is, Jim Henson's team of puppet builders would reportedly place the eye focus last in the process. There is a formula to measuring it, but I remember hearing somewhere that they'd still "eyeball" it and go with what looked right. However, I have seen some...

:eek: What's wrong with the special effects? They look fine to me from the trailers. In fact it appears to be the main selling point of the film. I think today's consumers have become jaded. I can understand content criticism, but could you elaborate just what about the effects is sub-par in...

Now that the line and the company are gone, the Muppets Palisades figures appear to be more popular than ever - in the secondary market. Thanks for posting the article. It's cool when these things keep popping up out of the blue. :flirt:

I know it would be greatly appreciated if MR would be a little more involved concerning updates. Even if there was no news, it's better to hear that there isn't any news straight from them. There's been quite a bit of confusion about their products (Animal's articulation, absent accessories...

Hey....wait a minute... The Master Replicas website and newsletter originally listed the inclusion a collar and chain for this Animal product. That feature was silently removed from their website description without explanation. It was there. It is gone now. :eek: Changes nearly always...

It takes 6-9 months (sometimes longer) to manufacture and distribute a product such as this. That's likely why the concerns are being voiced now. This is the real crunch-time where changes can actually be made. To be honest, I'm not certain if that time hasn't already passed. Most of these...

Heck, I'd Sharpie that part veeeeerry carefully if he needs it. I would. I take it that you're not going to resell him so there's no need to keep him in factory condition. Wow! That's how his eyebrows look - all fluffy and crazed! Still stand by my near-perfect 98% rating. It's all in the...

:eek: I just got my hands on a copy of the JHH series and am savoring every bit. It did happen or my misspent teenage years are catching up to me. Either way it's highly enjoyable. :D "Of course I have real hands!" :concern:

Really? That makes me want to write a letter. I'm not much for boycotts etc, but I put my foot down when it comes to hosing the Muppets - especially projects from the Jim era. However there could be an internal tug-of-war over song rights between the song writers and record companies. That...

It's like Muppet productions, there always seems to be somebody missing. I'm glad it was merely the morsels and song captions this time out. I'm wondering what it would take to have it all? Honestly, they could put the episodes in brown wrapping as long as they are complete. But I do so love the...

I know it is unfair to create a digital alteration after the fact, but I just want to see if this is in the ballbark of what you are talking about. I did mess with more than just the eyes to make it the way I'd style it in my mind. Much of this can likely be achieved with posing, however you...

Pepe is one of my favorite characters so I know he started on MT. I always thought he was the best thing to come out of that show. I was mentioning that the calendar lumped him together with Clifford making it seem that both began together on Muppets Tonight. I saw no mention of Henson Hour. I'm...

That might warrant an inquiry. The price, even for a fan, is very steep. I know it's justified, but leaving out at least his signature collar does upset me. I look at MR as being more customer friendly than that. :sympathy: On the likeness side - I spent a bit of time studying Animal's...

There is the web rumor (just a rumor) that Disney would be producing and distributing the Fraggle Rock Movie. I always felt it would be Sony or Fox. I don't think there's a lack of big studio interest in the movie. Personally, I think Sony (Columbia Tri-Star) would be the best fit. I feel...

Has anyone mentioned the chains? :halo: Did Animal come with a collar or chains as was in his pre-order description? That's part of where I thought the expense went. I hope that the collar and chain wasn't yanked (pun intended) merely to drum-up (pun intended again) support for accessory packs...

Just a personal vote of materials If it comes down to using some sort of stocking-covered nose or molding a light weight plasic shnoz - I pick plastic. There's no way they can use the same materials as the puppets or even the official posers and expect them to last more than a couple years...

An Overview: Muppets 2008 Daily Calendar! Amazon always seems out of the calendars. Here is where I got mine at a pretty good deal! :) Images include: * Many group shots (including my fave without the floating Piggy head) * Muppet portraits of nearly everyone (multiple photos of...

I remember that. Thought it was a fan made piece. It was disturbing. :eek:

The mouth is still significantly off in any pose. Kermit's MR photo replica is 99% accurate to me. Animal (from what I've seen) is 98%. This Gonzo as represented is 78%. That one lip/jaw part just throws the likeness off for me. Forget the suit or even the nose material - that is the part that...

Thank you soooo much for the pictures! Wow. Okay, we've had the best Kermit product ever, now this, in my opinion, is the best Animal product ever. Gets my endorsement! :halo: My only (outrageously nitpicky) concerns: *Hair moustache around the mouth area is more pronounced than I...
