    Check out my Janice puppet on ebay

    It didn't sell for $550. That's how much he was asking for it and nobody bid on it. :p

    Next Muppet Replicas: Gonzo, Animal

    The prototypes are coming along nicely... But whoever posed Kermit in that display case really needs to study some of the pictures everyone here took! Talk about not showing him off at his best! :p

    Hey Gang did you see these???

    I'm pretty sure his eyelids will be moveable, but from the outside, obviously. So you will be able to set them where you want. :p

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    Anthony, Those are beautiful pictures! And they also prove how good these replicas are. It all comes down to learning how to pose him. If you can't come up with your own pose, copy one from a picture. And I agree, I want to get a case for him to keep him from getting dusty. I still...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    No, it was not done to spoil people's pictures. It's the material. I have a friend who made his own Kermit puppet out of Antron Fleece and when you photograph him with a flash the exact same thing happens. You have to use lighting instead of a flash. And KermieBaby has posted a non-flash...

    Old Muppet Stage Show From MGM (FULL VIDEO!)

    Thanks for posting that link. What a treat! Who knows, recording the track for this show could very possibly have been the last thing all the original guys did together. :p

    "live" Bunsen & Beaker At Disney's California Adventure?

    What does that mean? Are they walk-around characters or puppets? :p

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    He's very small. Think about it. His head is just slightly larger than a hand. A large hand, but a hand nonetheless. :p

    Here ya go... My Name Is Earl Kress Blog Post :p

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    Everything is authentic. I was very pleased to see the way KermieBaby got the collar to stand out so it wasn't plastered down to his chest. It made him look even that much better. :p

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    I agree about the images we are used to seeing of the posers. Notice that most of them have a camera angle that looks down on him, plus his mouth wide open, ergo, no visible neck. I've got the highest number reported so far... 251. And mine came a day later than all the others in Southern...

    Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

    I got my Kermit today, too. I think he is beautiful. Master Replicas did a bang-up wonderful job. For those of you complaining, I don't want to start a flame war, but I'm really annoyed. This is a top notch product. If you think you can do better, build your own. If you hate it so much...

    Authentic, Fully Licensed, Muppet Replicas Coming!

    I haven't gotten mine yet, but I played with the one at Comic-Con and he can sit on his own without the stand. They had him sitting on the edge of a counter and he stayed there with no problem. You can also put the legs up, knees bent, so he sits like he used to on Sesame Street. :p

    Detachable Pieces

    Bert's nose was simply T-pinned on. That was how Ernie could stick it on the clay bust. I was in the studio when they taped that bit. :p

    Behind the Scenes of "The Muppet Movie"

    Minor muppetz is correct. He's definitely there... just hard to see. :p

    Video editing question.

    I don't have any trouble editing on a PC, but you have to have a very fast processor and a lot of memory. A friend of mine who has the same program, but a slightly slower computer has all sorts of problems, like the computer loses its mind when it tries to playback an edit. It goes out of sync...

    Miss Piggy's Head Prop on the eBay!

    It wouldn't be for rehearsing, but for lighting so someone doesn't have to stand there for an hour with their arm in the air while they light the set. That's what "RALF" was used for. That said, it looks more like an unfinished head than even something they'd use for lighting. :p

    Miss Piggy's Head Prop on the eBay!

    I know there was a stand-in ALF puppet. They called him RALF. He was a beat up version from the pilot, I believe. But he was definitely more finished than this Piggy head. Anyway, my point is that it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that this head was used as a stand-in. :p

    He'll Make Me Happy Sheet Music

    Well, I guess she wasn't that desperate and after I went to the trouble of digging this out. :p
