Hi Folks, I've now received the replacement Gonzo and his brother and both are great (customer service at TCZ is exceptional!). I am now toying with the idea of respraying the nose. I'm not overly convinced by the colour and think that with some spray-dye I can get a much more accurate colour. My question is has anyone had any experience with spray dyes? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would be too much fun having a genuine Fozzie puppet for me to resist so i thought i'd better order 2.If any of you guys need replacement pupils for Gonzo in the UK just give me a shout and i'll send you some they are really easy to change.
Big thanks to Lab Rat for sending the eyes through, got them today! Will attempt the operation this weekend...

Loved your flyer for your own show, looks great fun.

Wow!

Nice pics Markit!

I'm so jealous of all you guys that can afford all these Muppet Posers.

These are the only Muppet posers i could afford right now:

But once I get all my finances straight out i'll buy all of them. I'm just afraid it will cost more in the future due to rareness.:concern:
Afford! Did you say afford? I can only just afford the little guy, but having missed out on the Palisades range I couldn't miss this chance.

Not sure about Fozzie, he would break the bank!

still gotta order my gonzo.. *sigh* think we'll be able to pull it off later this month though now that hubby's back to work and we're caught back up on everything else... yay!
looks like we're going to be giving Animal a skip though... :frown: (unless I wind up with a really nice settlement from the car accident 7 months ago... *sigh* we shall see.. Am just happy I'm nearly back to "normal" though will never be 100%..)

Sorry to hear of your troubles, fingers crossed for a sudden change of luck!

Has anyone else in the UK changed Gonzo's pupils? Thanks to the truly wonderful Lab Rat I have changed mine. The removal of the original pupils was easy (except for a mid-operation panic). However, placement of the new ones was well hard! It took about 1 1/2 hours to get them right. It's so unbelievably difficult. I got all my ref shots of the actual Gonzo, and then took a shot of mine to see if it matched up. Even if they are a millimetre out they look wrong. I think I've nailed it and it has passed the mirror test (I always look at things in Mirror to see if they look right:confused: ). I will post Photo's as soon as I can think of a decent pose. Any suggestions folks?

Now, onto the next Gonzo...

Sorry, But I kind of strayed away from Gonzo at this point, but hope you'll enjoy what you see, I think these are among my best photos yet! Im also surprised that no one else has tried this yet?

I think he looks great, the trousers are too short but can be hidden when photographing, would love to get a black suit for him!

Hope you enjoyed the pics, comments please?

Now I need to stop playing with dolls and do something constructive, lol.

Wow!

hEY Kermieuk, Those are genious pictures of Kermit. You know, to think of it, I am surprised no one's thought about doing this. If only it was a black suit, but it looks great. Now Kermit is ready and dressed to take Piggy out for a night on the town. Great Job!:smile:
