Muppet prop real or not?

[gfarkwort]

I found this auction on ebay and the seller claims that it is a real Muppet prop that was used. It doesnt look like it was made by the Henson company to me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60360&item=3815380760&rd=1

What do you think?.....Real or not?

 

[Whatever]

I think the same guy posted about it on here and most ppl thought it sounded authentic... I'm on a slow connection though, so I can't click on the link to make sure it's the same prop.

Actually that is a diffrent prop by a diffrent seller. This auction is for a turtle prop.

Hmm... doesn't look like the real deal to me, but I could be wrong! I don't think any background character was ever a non-puppet muppet.

Thats what I thought to. I also don't think its Muppet style.

 

[Whatever]

Oh, that's been on Ebay before. You're right. There are two different Muppet turtles, one on the TMS Victor Borge episode and one on the Diana Ross episode. Those are vey different, see www.kermitage.com under "Turtle" for a picture.
