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
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...
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...
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
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
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...
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...
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
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...
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
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
