    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    Thanks for the very much appreciated compliments. The pink color was the hardest of them all to match. But it's actually darker than it photographs with a flash. Next time, I'll take the pictures with a better light source than flash. I also found that there's one poser out there where they...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    Depends on which Gonzo you're comparing him to. Muppet Show Gonzo, yes, it's definitely smaller than mine. Newer Gonzos he looks more like. It also photographs bigger than it really is. Nobody ever says it looks too big when they see him in person. Truthfully, if I felt like repainting...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    No other Muppets... just original characters. :p

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    In studying pictures, there's too much nose surface area exposed on the MR Replica. It's just not the right shape or too big or something. I'm not talking about the part that sticks out, but the area around it. I can't quite put my finger on it. But when I sewed the fur to the foam...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Gonzo Replica

    I'm sure you're all tired of hearing me say how disappointed I was with the Master Replicas Gonzo. So much so, that I didn't buy one. But I did the next best thing, I built my own. Here are the first three pictures of him: Gonzo 1 Gonzo 2 Gonzo 3 The best thing, he's an actual...

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Well, I hate to be so negative, but I think the fact that only 46 people said they would buy him on MUPPET CENTRAL pretty much puts the last nail in the coffin for the Fozzie poser. I don't see how they could ever justify doing him with this little interest. :p

    Steve! Where in the world have you been? E-mail me! Earl (Was Once Ernie) :p

    Kermit's Collar

    It is sometimes felt, but most of the time it's suede. :p

    Save the Fozzie Replica

    Nearly two years before Kermit was released and I first heard about this project, I was told they'd cost about $1200 each. Of course, at that time, they were talking about them being puppet replicas, so that may account for a little increase in the price. But to those of you voting "money is...

    Fozzie Muppet Replica delayed

    Travis, Thank you for everything you did and tried to do at Master Replicas. Your efforts are really appreciated, despite all the griping we do here. Welcome back to the forum as one of us fans again, but I hope you find something rewarding to do with your talents very soon. Your Pal...

    Fozzie Muppet Replica delayed

    All I can say right now is that it's possible, but lots of stars would need to align for it to happen. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up this early, including mine. :p P.S. The number has already changed, but the previous post was #777 for me, so maybe it'll turn out to be lucky!

    Fozzie Muppet Replica delayed

    I've known for a while now that Travis was gone, but it wasn't my place to say anything, although I desperately wanted to tell people. As far as lackluster sales on Animal and Gonzo... I know many of you bought him and are happy, but I still insist that Gonzo is a sub-par product for a...

    MR Animal Replica on the PT Emmy's

    It was definitely a Master Replicas Animal. It looked like all his feathers were pushed forward on his head instead of laying back the way they are supposed to. I don't know how they got away with that, except that it was on ABC... and we know who owns ABC. :p

    Classic Muppets filming NBC Christmas special

    Here, straight from Dave Goelz on 9/9: This one came up suddenly and we're shooting in NY. It's off to a good start. Paul Williams wrote four wonderful songs for it. It's a fun shoot with a good crew. There you have it! :p

    Ask Travis: A Master Replicas Photo Puppet Q&A Thread

    I have a friend who's seen a tentative release schedule for all of 2009 and Fozzie is not on it. It all hinges on a factory. If there's no factory, there's no Fozzie. :p
