Great news. But ACK!!! Our questions need answers!!!
And he was more then kind enough to e-mail me back:Hi Kevin!
I was interested in the Kermit project you are currently working on. This is not an e-mail slandering you about "cheapening" the Henson legacy, after reading your posts there I believe your intentions are pure. I am excited that Master Replicas is working on a project, but I have questions about the actual likeness. Forgive my opinion, but the image I've seen looks more like a doll then a replica, in other words, the likeness in my humble opinion isn't very close. I am willing to believe that a) the only image I've seen it from isn't the best angle: http://www.rebelscum.com/gallery/mr-pretoyfair-05/image1.asp And b) I understand that this is also the prototype. I searched MR's website to discover there's nothing there yet about the Muppets line and I was wondering when or where we might see more photos of this project? I am excited about it and I thank you just for your time in reading this e-mail. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you for your commitment and hard work in creating such a prominent icon!
Thank you Kevin for your time in answering my e-mail!Yeah that is a really bad angle, but I did not take care in posing it at
Pre-Toy Fair as much as I should have. The head is a bit overstuffed on the
prototypes. The head is directly off the original cut patterns and it is
very "moldable" as a photo puppet. You can almost bend it into any shape
you want. I am sure you will be able to get the look you want out of the
Kermit Replica. Kermit's likeness varies from show to show to movie but the
cut patterns have stayed pretty much the same. I am going to try an put
some more photos up on Muppet Central this weekend. I am pretty busy with
Toy Fair stuff so I might not get to it.
Regards,
Kevin
