    Preorder the Animal Muppet Replica

    There's still going to be problems, though, in creating something that will be flexible and poseable. I guess they could go with a flocked vinyl... I'd be more worried about the flock rubbing off...didn't they go through about 7 Piggy heads on one of the movies?

    There's a full-body photo of the "Big 5" taken from behind while they're jumping on the stage - should be great for size comparisons...if I could find the rotten thing!

    Ok - you all heard him...that's a verbal contract - a contract ya hear? If anything happens and that Bear doesn't see the retail light of day we're assembling our attorneys and coming after you! On a different note, you're looking to make Gonzo's nose flexible? I admire the attention to...

    Next Muppet Replicas: Gonzo, Animal

    I worry that, given the length of time since Kermit was released and Gonzo was announced, that the line has lost whatever momentum it might have had. It's a shame, but I see this line finishing soon too - in a worst case scenario even before we get Gonzo and/or Animal (after all, we've had no...

    Avenue Q meet the puppets - UK trip

    Looks to me like it's still available...at least I was able to add it to the shopping basket. I'd go except I'll have moved to New York by then...

    Jim, Frank and Michael talk about performing Muppets

    I also got the impression it was a guide for creating merchandise and non-puppet Muppet performance. My initial thought was that it could be a guide for traditional and/or CGI animators, but were things advanced enough for that while Jim was still around?

    Work in Progress: Skeksis costume

    Have you considered attaching the head to the frame with a slightly flexible plastic? That way, when you take a step it should "bob" slightly and look les static. It shouldn't be too difficult to leave a path to the back of the head open as well so that you can put your hand into it and perform...

    Is that a recent price quote? Where did you read those figures?

    It seems those dates actually come from Amy herself - it's post number 90 on this page: http://masterreplicas.com/forum/showthread.php?t=591&page=9 Yay! Gonzo, here I come!

    Hey Travis, how well are the Kermits selling? Does it look like the line will continue beyond (or even to!) Gonzo and Animal? In the grand scheme of things, how important are the Muppets to MR?

    Muppet-Puppet Replicas on Ebay

    Maybe he bought the Piggy head that turned up on eBay a while back...I still say she's not perfect though, there's something about her eyes in the full-frontal shots (hmmm, something about that phrasing sounds a little suspect!) that isn't quite right.

    It's not a great likeness - it's close enough, but it's not an exact match...

    Muppet-Puppet Replicas on Ebay

    Piggy in profile looks good, but from front on...there's something not quite right. Would love to see what this guy could do with Fozzie - mostly out of curiosity, but I could be moved to bid on him (since I really doubt we'll get him from Master Replicas)

    Next Muppet Replicas: Gonzo, Animal

    So do you have any more inside info on what's taking up the 2008/9 slots (beyond talk of Fozzie and Piggy...or is it more than talk?!?!)

    Do we know that the Weirdo's nose and mouth will be made out of yet, since exposed reticulated foam will decay fairly quickly?

    The Replica Report

    Am I the only one wondering how a saving of $54.80 on TWO items is more than a $50 saving on one?....:p But thanks for the heads-up on possible prices Travis - not great news, but not unexpected either.

    Photo Replica Speculation - Coming next?

    I'd hope that Fozzie would be next - his size is really the only factor that I can see creating difficulties (and I'd be happy to accept a waist up poser if it was the only way to get him). While Rizzo, Pepe or even Scooter would be more economical, I worry that going with the lesser known, more...

    Give it another shot Travelling Pat - I can see them... They're looking great - Animal is a HUGE improvement...which really sucks because I wasn't planning on getting him - now...not so sure! Would be interested to hear what improvements you feel are due Terry, there is something around...

    MR Kermit - how much does the box weigh? +Other international questions

    The MR website has the weight listed on there...I'm too lazy to go check, but from memory it was about 30lbs - around 15 kilos. The DHL on this to London was almost as much as the Frog himself, so I ended up having him shipped to a US friend (free shipping from MR) and then she posted him on...

    Muppets props on Ebay

    It literally closed while I was looking at it...I'm wondering if an ex-Creature Shop employee was selling things they shouldn't be and the CS complained.
