I kinda agree .. on the one hand yes it is probably just one person at the factory with little specialist knowledge rushing through 2,000 posers sticking eyes on, lol, but yea, it wouldn't have taken much for someone to have shown them the Henson positioning - but then maybe they did and i'm...

Fabulous Artie, i love all his other work too. Very talented guy!

LOL WasOnceErnie .. you don't make Puppet protos by any chance do ya? haha As for the eye positioning and other QC issues people have mentioned .. i'm sure hopefully eFX can be mindful of it all and check what they can but obviously you cannot check each one and i take it these will still be...

So Puppet Heap are or are not making the prototypes? I figured it would have been easier them getting PH to do that, since they have a team, they make the originals, they are the keepers of the plans. If its not them making them then i take it they have gone to an outside puppet builder like...

I think i might buy multiple Rizzos and do a Rat Tours theme display, lol

Puppet Heap (if it is them) works quick, being a whole team of people, and has easiest access to the puppets so doesn't surprise me they could have 4 protos ready in a year ... but marketing and investment wise, sales wise (they would need to make sure the first sell before getting going on the...

LOL, made by the people who are doing these posers! Thankfully that was their first go though and have got a gazillion times better since. Gotta agree with you .. in that one she is a HOG!

I would be pretty sure someone as big as Walmarts policy would be to just let the people have what they want and get them out as quick as possible and the customers safe. However i would say that doing anything other than getting yourself away from the situation or not arguing with the...

I think you are correct, its like a slimmed down MR without corgi looking over them (and the books). The guy who owns it was in charge of MR Star Wars i think. Obviously the advantage is they would have been well aware of the problems Master Replicas had with these so aren't likely to make the...

put me down for one, for definite.

This was 2006, so its a Puppet Heap Kermit in a Reporter outfit. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/muppet/images/a/a1/TVLandAwards.jpg

... actually they do, it says they are working with the people who provide Disney with the puppet building, isn't that Puppet Heap? www.puppetheap.com Which brings up all kinds of debate about whether these will now be the modern or classic versions, since Puppet Heap completely re-designed...

I just don't understand why on earth they would bump Fozzie back so far .. madness. The number one choice in a poll of hardcore fans and they will have to wait for at least 3, maybe 4 posers to come out before him. Thats probably two years away. Crazy ... i hope they address that or change it...

I think honestly you are right in a way, there is no knowing how well they will do, but i don't see that a lot has changed since Master Replicas. Still a small company, with the same distribution channels. I think as you say, the Muppets being higher profile now will help, and doing smaller...

Time to restart the we need Scooter campaign! ;)

Thats partly the problem with her like you say, one person likes one version, one person likes another version. And then you get the "cool" collectors who don't have the same level of Piggy fan'ishness as we get here who just won't buy a girl/pig. It may well have something to do with how...

I don't think theres a general negative vibe, but obviously people know what happened with Master Replicas so are wary. I try for a balance between realist and fan myself. I think marketed right, with the right balance between accuracy and price point these could be hugely successful. I do...

... even if it sells zilch and knocks out the entire line! :o Its not being negative and a boring old argument - its just a factually proven thing - even Palisades said it, and said they had been told it by Henson. I'm very happy about this announcement, and i'd love the line to continue...

Yeah i think people are jumping the gun a bit. Great news about the line being taken over by eFX (as many people had guessed and new) and good luck to them but they will have exactly the same problems as Master Replicas - it will be whatever marketing and promotion they do that may help them...
