Oh, you mean this guy?Bear Man said:So...any word on a shipping/pre-order date? Or on what joke-telling, hat-wearing, polka-dot tied Muppet we can expect after Kermit?
Personally, I'm hoping that the Master Replica folks take a good long look at the Pigs in Space First Mate Piggy figure that Palisades made. It's one of the best Piggy's around!Davina said:which version of Piggy would you want to see??
The Kermit on the right looks awesome! I think the pupils need to be shrunk a little, but other than that, he's lookin' good.ElecMayhem said:
In picture # 6, you see that there are two Kermits. The one on the left is the one that you have been seeing -- the one that has been manhandled. The one on the right, which you have never seen photos of before, was sent to the factory, and is what spawned the EP that Kevin posted pictures of recently. As you can see, it's along way off. BUT, this is what we are stirivng for. This is what the product needs to look like.
Personally, I am in love with it...but of course, I want to hear what you have to say...
Later,

Here are 51 photos of the first EP Sample from China. There are a ton of things wrong. I am uploading these photos from the Denver Airport and I am about to get on a plane to go to Burbank. So I am doing this pretty quickly. The Master Replicas office is shipping the Kermit so I can review it in person because I thought there were too many corrections needed for me to do it by photos alone. BTW I am going to Burbank to finalize the 2007 Disney plans so any last words on what Muppets you would like to see?
Just so everyone understands, this is the typical quality we seen in our first samples from China. There are always a mess of things to change on every product. It's just part of the process. On difficult projects we may go through 5 EP samples before getting it right. On easy projects we may get it right in 3 samples. I have never seen EP sample be correct on the first try.
Expect Kermit to get better, but now is the time to be very critical since it is the time that changes can be made. I will listen to your input. Like I said I see things that are obviously wrong.
Oh yeah I saw the debate about the Kermit's coloring. These are the Pantone colors that I got from Disney/Henson.
Body, head - 376
Collar, bottoms of feet - 382
Inside mouth - 186
tongue - 191
Black pupils and white eyes.
We are going to make Kermit according to these colors. Hopefully, that puts that debate to rest.
Finally, I have uploaded the approved Disney Packaging for Kermit. I would like to hear your feed back about it.
