Too rich for my blood. He does look good though. To think we could have owned one. (sigh)

Muppetperson, thank you for sharing.

TML, I agree, we SHOULD have owned one.

And that price btw (imho) is ridiculous. :embarrassed:

D**n it...I found this a month or so ago and have made an offer. I'm going to see the guy next month (it;s about 35 minutes from my house!). I was keeping it a secret as I didn't want anyone beating me with an offer :smile:

Wow, I always wondered how Precious company items can just randomly turn up at prop shops. I hope whoever gets him decides to take pics.

In truth the guy really does not want to sell him, he said to me if I made an offer of £7500 he'd accept immediately, but £5000 is unlikely. I agree that this price is absolutely ridiculous! ! I've written to Bryan at EFX to make sure that they are definitely NOT going to make this in the future (as always, no response! ! ! !) before I part with any cash, and I am pricing up having a prop company make one, but the likelihood is this is gonna be the best (and most accurate) option. In all fairness to the guy, he is a huge Muppet fan and seems to be seeing just how much someone would pay for Fozzie. I got the impression he got hold of it for way lower than 5K...but who knows. And Walter, if I do get him, I will take LOTS of photos :smile:

EFX has kinda been a jerk to us this past year and has refused to answer any email regarding the subject so sadly, I think it is safe to assume that they are not going to be making an Muppet replicas. :frown:
