They have complicated sculpture with their eyes/nose/mouthes etc. Plus, being much less popular then, say, Fozzie and Piggy it may not be worth it.

Plus, like Piggy, they are completely made out of foam and not fabric covered. But unlike Piggy, which is basically two pieces, they are many pieces.Beauregard said:
The only characters that are definite so far beyond Kermit are Gonzo and Animal and they haven't even figured out how to mass produce them yet, which is the reason that no release date or pre-orders have been announced.

Oh no! Are Animal and Gonzo's releases in jeopardy?? Certainly hope not, I've already got enough money set aside, just waiting, no -- begging to be handed over to MR for some high-quality Muppet replicas to add to my collection!!!

The waiting is the hardest part
While I still cherish my MR Kermit I am curious as to the approach taken by Master Replicas with the Muppet Replicas. It took them a while to get Kermit out- and that is understandable since it was a brand new line as well as something very different for them. But for the next release it just makes more sense to me to get things out there in a timely manner to keep the excitement up. I know they are making sure everything is top quality, but years between releases in a product line is crazy!

But i with it being that Butch is having to redo them over and over again i would understand if it take a lot longer then before. I'll wait tho.

Oh yeah! DVDs!
I know we all want great quality stuff, but Master Replicas pumps out amazing Star Wars stuff every month! They started the 12" line about a year ago and have almost a dozen (or more)!
The Simpsons is on SEASON NINE and they do commentary on EVERY episode...
We all want quality, but its really odd. Spacing out big product launches by YEARS. I really think they just don't care that much. Not a big enough market. Master Replicas would rather make a new Lord of the Rings replica and KNOW it will sell out- then a Gonzo.
