I was definitely in favour of bumping Gonzo for Fozzie, since I'm convinced that the sales of Animal and Gonzo will not be enough to justify Fozzie being made, which really disappoints me (being the huge Fozzie fan I am). Although I think it's important to keep in mind that we only ever saw...

Looks pretty good to me - I'm not concerneed with the eye spacing, I think it's pretty close to what I remember (but then, Animal has never been a huge favourite of mine, so I can't say as I have aever taken a LOT of notice). My main issue is with the eyebrows - they're just a little too...

Seriously MuppetCaper, I think you also need to dial back how judgemental you are being of other's judgements! Your comment on the MR board was out of line - you were more than happy to say that "everyone should email MR because I wonder if they're even listening and use the retouched picture to...

2500 Gonzos? Oh dear. With Kermit yet to sell out and a less-than-perfect likeness, I see these being really slow to sell. I just hope that the line will hold up long enough for Fozzie to make it all the way through production.

Honestly I can't say I like him. I'm not a fan of the solid-colour nose (and with it being a solid texture it further looks "off"), the eyelids seem too thin, and that suit colour really doesn't look right to me. I'm really torn about getting him - I wanted to be able to show support for the...

I don't think Fozzie 3 hits it as far out of the park as the other two, but it's still an awesome likeness.

The more I look at it, the more I think the whole thing is just concept art, with no actual sculpts in there at all. And that's fine - product has got to start somewhere, and if that's all they have to show, then fine.

Just a question - is there any way to preserve scott foam while sacrificing it's flexibility? (soaking with some sort of laquer or PVA for example?) That might be an acceptable middle ground - providing "instructions" so those that want to leave it flexible can do so, but those who want a more...

I can understand the calls to use scott foam to make it an actual, "real" replica, but on the other hand I do not want to be paying a decent amount of money knowing that I am buying a collectible that has a built-in self-destruct mechanism. This is completely a personal preference, and I can...

I've been wondering if stipple sponge would work for Gonzo's nose...it's an open cell, synthetic sponge that is used in special effects make-up to simulate beard stubble, broken capillaries (useful for that drunk uncle), etc. To call it a sponge is a bit misleading, since there is no way it...

Angle his eyes slightly in towards each other, and angle his head and body forward, you shouldn't be able to draw a straight line up through his legs to his head. Doing this will also slightly smooth out the material under his neck, so he doesn't have as much loose skin.

Once I have my Bear and Pig (and maybe my Whatever, thr jury is still out til I see a nose!) I think I'll be done with the replicas - mainly because I'll have nowhere to put any more! I'd consider a chicken too (just cause they wouldn't take up that much space) but in fan terms there's so many I...

For exactly the same reason that people want any other form of merchandising (be it action figures, stuffed toys, diecast cars, high-end replicas, photos, posters, whatever...) from any property, be it Muppets or something else - to be reminded of something that they enjoy, to be able to...

While on one hand Kermit making local news is good, on the other the fact that he's being referred to as a doll, and is not looking at his best, is not really presenting the Muppets in the best light. Personally I'd prefer it is any "public appearances" were by a Kermit that speaks and interacts...

Of course Steve Whitmire is putting his own take on Kermit into the performance! He's an artist, that is both his right and his duty. If not, he'd only be ever doing an impersonation, and then people would be complaining that Kermit has no life of his own, that the technique of the performer is...

I loved the Las Vegas pictures - the others are kinda less iconic/identifiable (at least in my mind), and I'm wondering if it was actually a "world" tour, or whether it was Kermit's US tour? I also think one of the reasons I liked the Las Vegas pictures so much is that the frog was "fresher"...

If you go way back into either this thread, or maybe it was one of the others, you'll find a post from Terry commenting on people saying that Animal's eye spacing is too far apart. His reply was that there is a pattern for the eye mechanism that he followed exactly, and that determines the eye...

You can count me as another non-stocking buyer, unless they do something really great with airbrushing and colour. The eyelids and mouth intereior also look like untreated reticulated foam, which suggests that they'll rot away...so I'm sure there will still be changes. Although Animal's teeth...

Well Disney did say that they didn't like the way Gonzo's nose looked at SDCC, so we know at least that they have the same attitude as the fans there. What else have you heard about Disney not listening to MR? Would be great to hear some examples, otherwise it kinda sounds a bit like the...

The photos look awesome Terry, thanks! And I love the picture of the "naked" Fozzie head. If I can make one hat-related suggestion, it's that I think the brim is angled up just a little high - I think it should be a little flatter. But this Fozzie looks so awesome, I'm really looking forward to...
