There is no photo trickery... the photo in the newsletter is Terry's original prototype. The one on the site is the factory's FIRST sample. Changes are still being made to this one...

The image in the link below IS photoshopped... It's the image I sent to our PD department, where I showed them the changes that need to be made to Animal's eyes and nose... These changes have been sent on to the factory, and are being worked on.

To be honest....after the amazing quality of Kermit, the whole line is sold to me no matter how poor the prototypes look.

I am also so glad to hear that Animals nose grew some more! hehehe. And he had nothing to lie about like his other puppet counterpart Pinocchio.

You know Jim Henson said he would always watch over the eyes being done on the muppets because he said that was he most important thing.
And if you don't have the eye placement correct it's going to look odd and boy was he right! :smile:
