Hey wouldnt it really cool if disney got with Steve Axtell and licensed a deal to produce "axtell" versions of muppet character puppets? They would looke like the character but be made of latex like all axtells are made of.

what do you think

I think statler and waldorf AT LEAST should be produced.

I'm not sure I would approve of such a union. Can you imagine kermit made of rubber? It's unnatural.

Yeah, I agree. As a fan I think he would just look kinda freaky that way...

I actually came across an old 1970's Ernie puppet with the hard rubber head while visiting a resale shop recently. Though seeing him rubber rather than fabric was a little strange, it was a better replica than any ever produced in fabric than I've seen.
