    Adding arm rods to an existing puppet

    Does anyone have any suggestions about adding arm rids to an existing puppet without them? My intent is to have a puppet with arms like Gonzo or Grover, where the arms are loose, the hands hang, and the arm rod simply directs them from the wrist, but there wouldn't be a whole lot of structure...

    The future of Muppets without Antron Fleece

    I remember reading that the company that has made this special fleece for the Muppets for years, has ceased production. What does this mean for the Muppets? I assume that there are alternative fabrics that can be used; are they close enough in look or will some Muppets soon have a different...

    New monters on ebay

    I got these as notifications of a favorite sellers new items in my email, but for some reason can't find them on ebay, so perhaps somethings changed in the auction. Pretty nice though: Pink Monster Puppet and Blue Monster

    Beaker Puppet on ebay

    Don't think this has been mentioned yet, but the guy who was selling the Elmo, and the "fat blue" replica is selling a Beaker puppet replica The one picture looks pretty decent, with teh noticeable exception that the lower jaw looks wrong. It should have the same curve as the rest of the head...

    TOG the MONSTER puppet on Ebay

    Hmmm... I didn't know about these dangers. I thought it was simply an identity theft worry. Funny what standay said about only using paypal on lower priced items that he's selling. I'm the exact opposite- Paypal charges a small fee when you have them send you a check from your balance, which...

    Stuffing an empty Puppet glove hand

    exactly what I was imagining. Thanks for confirming

    Stuffing an empty Puppet glove hand

    I have a monster puppet who has two glove hands. I usually just play with my little girl with him, so one arm usually hangs useless. Worse than that, it frequently gets in the way. What's the best way to solve this? What I would like to do ideally is to come up with some way to pose the empty...

    TOG the MONSTER puppet on Ebay

    Why is paypal dangerous? I mean, I guess any form of payment where you submit personal info is more dangerous than sending hard currency, but is it any worse than swiping your debit card at the gas station where any Joe Schmo can pick up your discarded atm reciept? Paypal seems to be very safe...

    Questions about Puppets with Exposed foam

    I really like the look of exposed foam on puppets. i know however that foam degrades quicker than fabric, simply from being exposed to light, air and paint. Can anyone give me some guidelines for care of this type of puppet? Is painting or dyeing better for foam? Paint would seem to better...

    Eye Ball's

    Yeah, the hairdryer works on the electrical tape. Thanks guys! My other puppets all seem to have felt eyes. This looks just fine. I'm not sure which I prefer. It looks like most of the muppet show puppets, at least the non main characters, had felt eyes. Those felt pads for the bottom of...

    Eye Ball's

    I have a puppet that someone made for me that uses the electrical tape for the pupils. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't conform to the shape of the ping pong ball perfectly so there are little gaps around the edges. Does the hairdryer trick work on electrical tape?

    Elmo Replica Here

    I'd love to get that "fat blue" puppet and have him done up like the guy that was always Grover's customer at the restaurant. Funny how some of the simplest puppet designs make such impressions. If I was going to recreate one of the simple Sesame Street characters, my first choice would be Guy...

    Good point. Whether we think it's right or not, the law is pretty cut and dry.

    I'd also like to express my disapointment that the name "Melonpool" is already taken. Great name!

    Help me name my puppets!

    I am awful at making up names for my puppets. Would anyone like to help? These two have been nameless for 2 years now. I would prefer names that have some meaning in them, and aren't totally made up, though they by no means should be "normal". By that I mean, "Gonzo" is not a made up word- it's...
