Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

[Telly]

Haha Davina....Now the only problem is...where do I find a wood chipper?

 

[RKUNKLER]

You can always rent one if you need wood chiped. There are shops that rent them out.

Inside Kermit-A Behind the scenes look.
As Master Replicas never got around to doing an insight into how Kermit is made, I decided to do a biopsy of my own and here is my report.For those who are squimish, do not look at the pics!
Here is the front view of Kermit,his head has black cellular fibre, sort of like the filters in the Kitchen exhaust hood.His body is a high density foam, like a nerf ball.

Here is a view from the back, showing the foam better.

Here is a side view of the head, showing the rubber gasket

Here is the arm wires, which are several wires together,like picture frame wire.

Here is the hand.It has a plastic piece across the finger and a type of electrian screw joint where the thumb wire comes off.

For the knee joints, each leg has 2 tubes on it to create the place where the knee will bend.(The arms dont have this as you bend the arm where the indentation is which is a squeezed thread)

The feet have plastic disks.

Having studied this photo puppet, I really appreciate all the work that has gone into creating these that you dont see, and I hope you have found this report interesting.But please dont try this at home.

Very interesting, now if we only had some original patterns for Kermit, we would be all making out own!

That was fascinating. Kermit is now a limited edition of 2,499.

Rest in Pieces, Kermit #2500.

I just gave my Kermit a big hug.

Nice to see........you must have some money to burn if you can afford to do that...or you are bloody good at sewing!

I don't let any sharp objects come near my Kermit!

I wish I did have money to burn.Lets just say that I was ancious to get a Kermit in, so I put a few orders in and they all came good.One I am displaying out loose, one is displayed in his coffin box, and I have been wondering how to use the third.So rather than keeping him boxed out in the shed, I decided to use him for a cross section display.He isnt totally ruined, because if I really wanted to, I could get him put back together again, but as I have two already, I wanted a third perspective.Now to go to work and earn some more money.
