I think you will all find out how very different Kermit's face can look just from the way you can bend the lips, smash or stretch the head, or even form the neck. It really is a kinetic thing if that makes any sense. All of the pictures that have been taken of the MR Kermit have been of the same puppet. The face always looks so different from photo to photo. At least it does to me.
Also, I am finding out it really is alot more difficult to pose Kermit correctly than I would have thought. It doesn't just fall into place.
One problem that I see with the posers is they usually have over stuffed heads. Our Kermit has a head that is not over stuffed but then that means that the stuffing is floating around inside. It becomes somewhat like a bean bag. That first season DVD has photos of a poser inside with a very over stuffed head in my opinion. However, it used the same cut patterns as the nice looking Kermit at the top left hand corner of this forum.
Its good to give us your comments at this point in the game. Pretty soon here China will finally get up the nerve to send a counter sample. That will really be the time to let it rip. Not only will it help me do my job but it will also help you guys get the product you want.
I did get approval (approved with minor changes) for the Kermit packaging. I need to make the changes and then I will post the artwork so you can see it. Look forward to that sometime this week.
