I just can't say enough good things about Master Replicas Kermit! He's the best!!! My Kermit still hasn't left my side. He's with me when I'm on the computer, he's in the living room when we're gathered there, and he's on the nightstand while I sleep. Everyone who's come over since he arrived loves him too!

Hooray for MR Kermit!!!

Forbiddenplanet uk can't give a date yet as I kept calling them last week. However bad news http://www.thecollectorzone.com/ who get good infomation on master replica products have him now listed to arrive november 30th in the UK. after receiving this info I cancelled my order with forbidden planet and bought kermit on ebay.

Hmmm... I can wait till November / December I think!

Is it just me or does anyone else find it a bit strange to compare the Master Replica Kermit to photos of the poser Kermits that, in my opinion, if they are on any sort of commercial release, say a book, c.d., d.v.d., have been digitally corrected? Kermit is not going to be perfect. But if I compare him to any others that I have in my room, he looks just like the real thing. Master Replicas did a wonderful job.

I think you bring up a very good point. Many of these photos have the benifit of Photoshop and other tools to make them look sleek and life-like. If you have any of the old Hallmark products from the early 80s, they used with some polished and not-so-polished results. I like that period too just like I like the period when Mickey Mouse was not as polished as he is today. I stood my Kermit next to an old Muppet Video cardboard Kermit from the 80s and much of the details are the exact same except the color. The Kermit poser in those ads did not featured the set-in eyes. They look like they were just stuck on like those of an Anything Muppet.

The hardest part for me to get just right is the neck area. I don't want to break anything or pull the fleece out of shape.

he's here!!!

MR Kermit the Frog Photo Puppet #623 found is way home to me here and is happily residing in small (and i mean SMALL, no more then 300 people here, lol) town NY. I JUST got home from work (dad and I) about 2:50ish and mom says "Stevie... Kermit is here!" i knew just what she ment! I LOVE HIM SO FAR!!!! I still have to brake him in this weekend since I'm off. I did how ever adjust his eye's just a tad. I'll also WILL be getting some pics up of my Kermie too, this weekend......MAYBE tommarow morning!

I too just received my confirmation email from the good people at Cornerstorecomics that Kermit has been shipped via Global Express delivery, so another Kermit is winging his way to the UK. I'm dreading to think how much the excess custom charges might be but I'm so excited I don't care.
It's the closest I've been to an actual replica Kermit since I visited a Jim Henson Exhibition at the Museum of Moving Image(MOMI) here in London, and that was a LONG time ago.
I nearly cancelled my order with these guys and ordered from Forbidden Planet, kinda relieved I didn't now! Phew!

MR sent mine via dhl - haven't heard anything from customs yet, and received Kermit a few days ago. So you may be lucky.
