Your Thoughts: Authentic Kermit Replica

[Kermieuk]

This reminds me of a picture in the Muppet Show First Annual, There is a picture of Scooter and his face is very sparkly from light glare, so its been happeing a long time!! I think in a profesional set-up, with Flash screens and an antiglare lens he would photograph OK, I will be sure to experiment when mine arrives.

I just got mine in the mail today so I am very ecstatic right now. It's so lifelike. For those of you who haven't purchased one yet should probably find one now before they are all sold out.

Hmm...

I'm really not feeling happy about the way that he looks in flash-photographs. If the point of Kermit is to be a poser for fans, why is it that he simply cannot be photographed to look nice? I'm rather teed by it, since that was my primary objective in buying him. I've been trying to tweek some of the other poster's photos with a photo-editing softwear, but I can't get him to look anything like right.

Is it possible that this was done purposefully? So that folks could tell the difference btween official and unofficial Kermit pics?

Other than the weird flash-fuzz, he looks grand.

No, it was not done to spoil people's pictures. It's the material. I have a friend who made his own Kermit puppet out of Antron Fleece and when you photograph him with a flash the exact same thing happens. You have to use lighting instead of a flash.

And KermieBaby has posted a non-flash picture that looks wonderful.

Agreed. The material is spot on.

So, has anyone taken a look inside of one of these yet?

I gotta admit to being tempted to try to convert the MR into a workable puppet but I'm hesitant to do anything without knowing what's going on inside the body and head...

Ack!!! I can't even think about someone mutilating their MR Kermit! Eek!

Alright, my screaming-fit is now over.

Had some spare time today (after doing laundry, washing dishes, and taking out the trash, phew!), and decided to spend it reposing my MR Kermit. After I *very carefully* moved him around a bit, I came up with a satisfying pose, and it's not as static looking as before.

Lots of talk about lighting in this thread, so I opened up the curtain, pulled the blinds, got together a t-shirt, some boxes, a big canvas & a blanket, and took some new pics! I'm an amature, I know.

So without further ado (about nothing, hee), here's another link to some more pics of my Kermit. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do, I can't get over how cool he is!!! Money well spent.

Beautiful Anthony, Great pics!!!! That is the Kermit we know and Love!

 

[KermieBaby47]

Thanks G, that's just what I was thinking!

Have you been able to take any pictures yet?

I'm thinking that I'll have to get some kind of a case to set him in. Don't want him getting dusty, and I hate dusting!!!

 

[MWoO]

See, that is how you photograph Kermit.

Natural light...love it!
