Ever so interested. Time to put your money where your mouth is, Big A. -Gordon

Has anyone here given consideration to the idea that the seller IS Amicus? A little research shows his past postings sure have been asking a lot of questions about how to MAKE these exact Muppets. And he certainly spends a LOT of time defending the "right" to buy and sell them. To the point of...

Actually, Steve, that method is rather ingenious! It certainly all makes sense! Now I have the desire to give it a shot! -Gordon

Good stuff, Nick. Something I've noticed, though, is that the invisible seam that is the staple of this kind of construction doesn't look as good on lighter colored fabrics. I just got done making a skull puppet out of plain white fleece. I find the visibility of the seams (even though I...

Then I suggest that anyone who thinks the law doesn't apply to them go ahead and order a Muppet replica from this person. That way, when they get scammed, we'll all be vindicated. -Gordon

Perhaps you might be enlightened by reading Chapter 20 of this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0764525514/ref=sib_dp_pt/203-4721335-1067965#reader-page You should be able to do so for free if you can find a chair at your local bookstore to sit in. -Gordon

What do you think about respect? -Gordon

So, how much of a kickback is this guy giving you to shill his puppets here on the MuppetCentral forum? Or, are YOU the guy who's selling these unlicensed replicas? just for interest's sake, tell me, what other laws do you break for the sake of greed? You're obviously suffering classic...

Frankly, I would be wary of bidding on his auctions anyway... he has only ONE feedback. Which most likely means he's been shut out of eBay in the past and has simply created a new account. You want to know why Disney's legal department is so wicked? THIS GUY is a perfect example. -Gordon

Amicus, As to the legality of this, you are beyond all doubt, absolutely wrong. Your correctness quotient in this matter is zero. What this person is doing is infringing on the intellectual property of the Walt Disney Company and Muppet Holding Company. I have spent many many hours...

I've posted my personal opinion about this subject before and met with no end of critique from board members. From a strictly legal standpoint, what this person is doing is not lawful. No matter how good the replicas are, what they sell for, or whether or not MHC or Disney overlooks the...

Actually, you did a very nice job using materials that are kinda hard to work with! Felt doen't like to form around corners that well and styrofoam isn't known for it's love of hot glue... Honestly, from what I see in these images, you have a good instinctive feel for building. Your sense of...

I'll be attending the Pof A festival, so if you're coming, lets meet up! I'm a local, so I'm not staying on-campus, but I'll be there every day. -Gordon

Okay, here's another one. If the "re-introduction to younger audiences" is deemed an absolute by the powers that be, then I suggest that the Muppets hit hard and hit fast in the very center of the market that is populated by exactly that demographic (and several age levels within that...

Awww...come on folks! I know you have been thinking about this! Pipe up! :) -Gordon

Anyhow, who's got MORE good ideas? Remember, its all about what YOU would do if you were top dawg at Muppet Holding Company and Iger had given you carte blanche to come up with new ways or new plans for marketing the Muppets property. Here's a good example of thinking outside the room that the...

Now check me on this: The woman they had appearing as Big-Fat-Ugly-Bug-Faced-Baby-Eating O'Brien looked VERY MUCH like "Cutthroat Island's" Geena Davis... was that a purposeful jab at another pirate flick? I haven't checked release dates against each other, so it could just be a crazy...

I have to say that, of everything PJH (post Jim Henson), Muppet Treasure Island is my top pick. Everybody seemed to be settling in nicely with their new characters (especially Steve and Kermit) and they hadn't forgotten the classic, timeless humor that made the Muppets so marketable in the...

Robin: HOLY DOPPELGANGER Puppetmancan! Puppetmancan: That's right chum. LOL!! -G

Okay, can I just say that zombie is COOL?!?!??? Very groovy. -Gordon
