I just bought one of these replicas. I can confirm that there are screws under the lid which look like they would give you access to remove the Mr Fusion. I say "access" since I don't think they are screwed directly into the Mr Fusion. They're just holding the base of the lid in place, but I'm sure the screws securing the Mr Fusion in place would be exposed if that panel was removed. I'm afraid I didn't fancy trying it but may give it a go one day...Hi, I know this thread is getting old but did anyone ever find out if it was possible to remove the Mr Fusion from the DS lid to replace it with a real Krups and if it was, did anyone ever make a filler plate to fill the gap left by the inaccurate Krups, just wondering?

I just snagged a DST Mr. Fusion from Gary Weaver. Sliiiiightly off top question: I'm looking for a prop banana peel to display it with, but I'm having the hardest time hunting one down online. Where would you guys suggest? There are plenty of artificial WHOLE bananas, but no peels.
I snagged a vintage Miller High Life can from eBay easily.

dude we are in the same boat. i can't find a fake banana peel ANYWHERE.... if you find one please share. i gave up looking months ago...
Dayam! Well if one exists, there's gotta be one at a prop house here in LA. I'm on the case.
I wonder if @markpoon has any ideas too?
i mean i looked for months, eBay searches, google image searches i couldn't find a dang thing. i was amazed there is nothing out there. the closet i found was fake bananas you would put in a fruit basket and keep on the kitchen table. but its solid... i also found dog chew toy banana but again it wasn't peeled.. i got to the point i went to michaels crafts and asked if they had anything i could spray on a real banana to keep it in the semi rotten state... no luck
lol not sure. Random Google find.thats the dog chew toy right?

Make one... Or commission some one too.
Couldn't be too hard to sculpt. Sculpt it out. cast in in silicon or latex, include some wire embedded in the rubber cast to shape as desired. Bob's your Uncle.
Or even cast an actual peel, if possible (freeze it first?).
i've had this bookmarked for months....I know the flux capacitor is worth avoiding....but what was the over all consensus on this one?
Is it worth $300's?

You used to be able to get joke banana skins years go at novelty joke shops but I can't find any of those now. The closest thing I have found to it are these novelty banana stress relievers on ebay. They seem to be made out of foam rubber or similar so I would expect that with a little skill with an exacto knife you could turn one into just the skin.
