Yep, and I like what I see, especially Kermit. Sam is looking good so far, but remember the eyes are different, as they can shift.

As for Beaker, I never knew his head was a shipping tube, but for the mouth, I'm not sure if I can explain without a visual aid, but I'll say you have to put your hand at a 90 degree angle and let your thumb control his mouth.
