    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Oh if the only Kermit pics i saw were the official ones I'd never have bought one. They should set up some kind of fan gallery for their muppet products. Let the fans do the work and they can just pick the best ones.

    Really? Different than all of them? I didn't know that. Neat. Fozzie is really good and thel east likely to be messed up.

    but with the animal puppet we are talking about eye focus.

    Well with the figures posing him at a squint looked kinda weird. Usually Animal will pop his eyes open when surprised, like if he's reacting to something he heard. I will admit that these newer pictures look much better. I guess the first ones we saw were pics of him fresh out of the box...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    We are worried because they HAVEN'T figured it out yet. If you pre-ordered right now for ap roduct that looks like crap and the only thing you know for sure is "they are working on it" you'd worry too. This is why I refuse to pre-order for this kind of thing. I'd rather wait and see how the...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    I agree. Plastic that looks better would be preferable to this nose sock that might bend but looks like crap. And I still don't see why they can not use foam if they have used foam on his eye lids and mouth. Heck, lets see what a painted high density foam would look like. There has to be...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    The Gonzo issue is not something that you need a magnifying glass to see, it's a glaringly obvious issue. Gonzo has a seam running up his nose. I mean, that's pretty obvious. The original prototype Gonzo was great and it could be done like that. I mean when they have the patterns and an...

    Woah...that's certainly an improvement. The odd thing is that the white eye covers make his eyes look closer together when they are wide open. Seems that is why they didn't put them closer together. Dang, now with these pics I want him again....

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 2

    I think the time and effort went into making the episodes whole thins time around. I mean, think about how much time andm oney itm ust take to do an extra like muppet morsels. Maybe the money spent on song rights and stuff took up too much of the budget. I've yet to axctually look at the...

    You hit the nail on the head there. That is much closer to how his eyes should be.

    Your Animal Replica Pictures

    I don't see how you can think it is close. I'm sorry, I just don't. The eyes are just plan off. I mean this isn't something like the shape of Fozzie's head that has changed over the years. The eyes have always been right up next to each other, at the very least they were like that from the...

    Looks to me like there are no shackles on him at all. I know that sometimes Animal went without, but really it would have been nice to have them. So many things about the final product just bug me.

    I saw the clip and they aren't far apart. Like I said they seem far apart, but the gap is the nose. Look again, or better yet check the dvd. Maybe I'll pop it in and get a screen cap. But even if the first Animal has a large gap, I don't think that one clip is the proper reference to use...

    So there is mouth articulation, but the tongue gets in the way? I guess that is why it should be made of some kind of foam. No idea why they went with rubber. They could have gone with high density foam instead. I'm not getting some of the decisions made on this one and I really hope they...

    Thats due more to the angle of the picture than the actual space though. And they are still much closer together than the replica. I get that they have to keep things under budget, but for 50 bucks more and the addition of jaw movement and better eyes I'd be all over this. Frankly Animal just...

    I've looked across the board, none have a gap as wide as the MR animal. Not even close. Animal is just not as good a likeness and whats sad is that it could have easily been fixed.

    WHAT? His mouth does not close? Are you joking? The mouth is key to making the many animal expressions. Now i know I don;'t want him, Certainly not at 400. The mouth is a main point of expressions on any character.

    Animals eyes are right next to each other in that video. Sometimes it appears as if there is a space, but that is his nose. When he looks down the eyes are clearly right next too each other with very little space. Look at any picture of animal from any ear and I bet the eyes will be right...

    I don't care what anyone says, the eyes are too far apart.

    The problem with Gonzo's mouth is not something that can be corrected by reposing it klike Kermit. It's the actual shape of the foam.
