    What Miss Piggy should MR design?

    Definitely the Muppet Caper look. Although I'd actually be happy with a modern pig as long as she had a Muppet Caper-era wig

    Does MR have two posable Kermits?

    These are just the same product being sold by two different retailers through Amazon's marketplace. The only difference is price.

    Kermit's "World" tour ends.

    Call me crazy but I really liked the Vegas pictures - he seemed to be really interacting with his environment. On a separate note, I think it's laughable taht this was billed as a "world" tour - there could have been so many awesome photo opportunities - Kermit on the Great Wall of China...

    Master Replicas Muppets 2008

    Yes and no...I agree that a flocked head that had been pulled from a mold would actually be a fairly easy item, but the real difficulty would be in not just making sure the flock stays on (which would be a big problem though) but also what material to make the head in that would be long lasting...

    Holy Maracas! - Unofficial Piggy Replica

    He had her on "sale" on eBay until recently - around $500 if I remember rightly. All copyright considerations aside, the guy is pretty talented. There is something not quite right about the angle or slope or size or something of Piggy's eyes, I'll be interested to see his next attempt at her...

    Georgia Stage is no longer carrying Antron fleece at moment!

    So they're now on third generation antron fleece? The description of "some what close " doesn't exactly make it sound like it's that close to the original, or the second version they produced.

    Master Replicas Muppets 2008

    I think that since Piggy hasn't even been commisioned yet, but we were told she was coming a month or two back, they have slowed the pace on the line. The unofficial Fozzies that pop up on eBay from time to time are actually looking much better (and much less Photoshopped!) than they used to, so...

    Master Replicas Muppets 2008

    Without looking at the sold-out and price reduction items, it is worthwhile noting that their Star Wars license expired at the end of last year, so they needed to clear that inventory. Also I'm not sure that the Collector's Society being free is a major issue. After all, if I remember correctly...

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    Thanks for the insider info on Muppet building, Terry. And if killing us all for hearing too much would make for a bad day for you, just imagine what sort of day it would be for us... ;-) Hope to see more of your great work again soon!

    Master Replicas Gonzo Photo Puppet

    MuppetCaper, I don't think it's unreasonable for people to want to know what they will receive should they decide to purchase something, nor is it unreasonable for them to voice concerns about how a product they care about will turn out. Gonzo has been up for pre-order for quite some time...

    Your Animal Replica Pictures

    I'm having trouble picturing what you're describing. Can you post a picture?

    Muppet Mockumentary Pilot Filmed

    How hard can it be? Really hard. I don't think most people here realise quite how difficult it is to get a tv show or film from the initial concept through to broadcast, in many cases it taking years for an original concept to get on the air, which is arguably an easier prospect than an...

    Future Muppet Replicas Wishlist

    I guess since Gonzo has already been released for pre-order that's the reason he's not mentioned? Great to see that Fozzie is still on the cards, although the fact Piggy and Rizzo aren't mentioned suggest this line isn't doing all that well - I just hope that Gonzo and Animal's sales hit...

    Stubble?

    If you're using fleece as your skin, try using a very slightly darker colour fleece for the beard/stubble area. A great example is to look at closely at the Nicky puppet from Avenue Q. I think they also use a heavier weight fleece for this too, just to raise it slightly above the rest of the skin.
