eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

[Kermieuk]

I also had the same problem with my first Kermit, the stitching on the seam in between the eyes was awful, it almost looked like a hole. His eyes were also to wide apart.

Fortunetly I won another from Master Replicas on this forum, when he arrived he was perfect, no visible seam and a much better eye placement, Kermit poser is still my fav, and he still looks as new, I rarely pose him or touch him.

On a seperate issue, someone said that the Master Replicas Kermit was made 10% smaller? I was under the impression that the original Kermit poser was actually 10% smaller than the original puppet, so MR 's was also the same size as they used the original patterns. Is anyone in the know?

One thing should be for certain - Puppet Heap would not likely sign off on or defend poor eye focus. I never understood how that could happen. I felt MR just ran out of money to develop the posers' final phase.

I'm looking forward to both Disney and Heap being heavily involved in these items.

The problem was that the final factory prototype was judged OK, but when the factory went into full swing, they didnt give the same care, and when MR received them, it was too late.

WOW said that the Kermit poser MIGHT be 10% smaller, but still waiting on confirmation.Terry Angus has also hinted that there was size varriation from what he made and what the factory "copied".Therefore, I dont know about there being a size difference between the Kermit Studio Puppet and photo puppet, but if there was, the MR photo puppet is even smaller again than what it should be.

There are some very good sales for those two around the web these days. Trust me, even with all the flack Gonzo gets for his nose netting and eye focus issues, I shreaked like a little kid when first opening the box. The pupil fix is such an easy one that I recommend to anyone with even minimal craft skills. These guys are just too cool.

Puppet Heap is not helming the venture, but rather helping, as you said. Also, they've just made a completely new Piggy head from scratch. I don't think we've seen it in anything yet.

So Puppet Heap are or are not making the prototypes?

I figured it would have been easier them getting PH to do that, since they have a team, they make the originals, they are the keepers of the plans. If its not them making them then i take it they have gone to an outside puppet builder like Terry again (although not him obviously).
