Before I do something to harm my Kermit...can anyone tell me if his arms and legs are bendable at any location you want...or if he has specific elbow and knee joints that one needs to stick to?

Thanks!

:confused:

On my Kermit, it seems the entire length of his arms are flexible (more so at the elbow of course), whereas his legs are only bendable at the knee. The rest of his legs give a bit, but I didn't try too hard cuz like you said, didn't wanna harm him.

In his pose now, there's a slight arch to his legs that I've worked in over time, and I'm happy with that!

Oh, and Stevie, he looks great!!

LoL Sweet! I wonder if I still have my books like that. I think I had Muppets on the Town and Chickens Are People Too (but what are Gonzos?)!!! I'll have to look for 'em. My Kermit's just standing on the floor with the help of his display base

My Kermit is also standing but by a chair with Grover sitting in it. It makes think of the old days on Sesame Street. I'll have to take a picture when I can.

Great pics Earl!! Did you get that bottle from the official replica dude? I've seen him on eBay, and his pic of Barbara Eden with one of his bottles is priceless!

Great news too!! Wow, so cool that they're seriously considering a bigger character, awesome.

I did get it on e-Bay, but not from that guy. His bottles are ceramic, made from a mold off an original Jim Beam bottle. The one I have is an original bottle that is painted. Personally, I think that makes it more authentic... even if I don't have a picture of Barbara Eden with it (although I have met her!)
