The Kermit puppet shown on the website looks suspiciously good. I'd be very curious to see what it looks like in person...

Yeah, not a very flattering photo of Gonzo. I think it is just a bad angle...unless Peter Sellers has arisen and re done Gonzo's arm stretches!!!

Fozzie looks like he was punched in the face. Hard.

Other than that, these don't look too bad.

I found Kermit, Fozzie, and Gonzo in the FAO section of the local Toys R Us today. Fozzie looks pretty much just like the pic from the website. Gonzo actually looked a lot better in person than that picture makes him look. His eyes didn't look quite so...interesting. Kermit was kind of disappointing, though. None of the puppets at the store looked even remotely as nice as the picture. His eyes were all over the place and his collar tips were all bent and misshapen.

At the very least, though, they all looked better than the puppets that were sold to coincide with the last film. No sign of Piggy or Animal, but I'm sure they're out and about too.
