Oh, I would absolutely get others on his list. I'll be there on day one to place a pre-order for Fozzie, as long as he looks like Terry's proto, which there's no reason why he shouldn't. As long as they don't ruin the shape of his head, he should be perfect! I also would get Bunsen and...

I'm sorry. I promised my comment in another thread would be my last... but this one really is. I don't think Gonzo can be considered a replica. And it's not the materials that are the only problem. For instance, if I buy a replica Star Trek phaser, I wouldn't expect it to be made out of...

My understanding is that they buy in large quantities and store it, but when it's gone, it's gone. I don't think they use enough of any one fabric to have it made. The amount you would have to buy to make it cost effective would be massive. Look at the current Cookie Monster. That looks...

I totally disagreed with you on Animal, but I completely agree with you on Gonzo. I'm glad so many of you are happy with him... and that's the last I will ever say about Gonzo. :p

I would like to see a trenchcoat and fedora hat for Kermit. Here's a good picture of him in a trenchcoat: Kermit in Coat You can't really see the hat in this one, but I'm sure there are other pictures available where you can see it. :p

I posted this in the other thread, but I guess no one saw it, so I'm posting it here, too. I finally got around to taking pictures of my Animal... and here's one for your dining and dancing pleasure! Animal Greets Kermit :p

I have to disagree with you on Animal. I know a lot of people on here customized him, but I haven't done a thing to mine (other than to smooth his "hair" and shape his eyebrows*, but then you have to constantly do that with the real Muppets, too) and I love him. I haven't even colored the...

Just off the top of my head, I would have gone with Antron Fleece, like Kermit and Animal. It wouldn't have looked any more like foam, but it at least would have been more "Muppety", if you know what I mean. Unless there's some way to flock a plastic head, that's what I would do for any of...

I just had a thought, and I know this will DEFINITELY void the MR warranty, but what if you surgically removed the stocking and then repainted the foam underneath? Just throwing it out there. :p

Yikes! If I was at all on the fence, this pushed me over. Kermit and Animal are replicas... Gonzo is just an expensive toy. If this is as close to owning a real Gonzo as I'll ever get, I guess I'll never own a real Gonzo. Sorry, Travis. I know this was not your fault and I hold you only...

Hi, Travis! I sent you a PM... did you get it? (At least that should be an easier question to answer!) :p

Okay, so I'm a little late to the game, but I finally have a picture to share. Here it is: Animal Greets Kermit :p

I'm sorry, and this is the last negative I will post until people start receiving him and putting up pictures (I promise!), but I've seen the netting in person and it looks nothing like foam. :p

Well, I'm very disappointed, too. I will wait to make a final decision until I see some fan photos with the new paint job on the nose, but I've seen the sock nose in person and I hate it. So, unless the new paint makes an ENORMOUS difference, I'll pass on Gonzo. If I was swimming in money...

That's just another one of those questions that MR doesn't seem interested in answering for us. I guess you folks who pre-ordered will be the first to find out. :p

That's because the sock nose isn't airbrushed, or painted at all for that matter. It's whatever color the pantyhose covering is. :p

I got to see it twice on Broadway and between the two performances, the only original cast member I DIDN'T get to see was Rick Lyon. He was out both times! I did get to talk to John Tartaglia, though. :p

No, there was a fuzzy version of Season 2. :p

I just wanted to say, we've (myself included) been doing a lot of bashing of MR's customer service lately, and I think with good reason. But looking at my Kermit and Animal, they actually did a wonderful job on them. Even with the minor complaints we have, it's amazing that we get to own...

That's what he told me at Comic-Con, too. I asked him if it could be corrected on Gonzo and he said he'd look into it. I wonder what ever happened to him. :p
