Supposedly Animal is next

 

[tripoli]

With the MR club discount code,these are $ 150, a steal at that price. My daughter has already called dibs on this one.

Is this a puppet or just an over sized stuffed toy?
Anyone got any pick of it?

 

[NEKROFANATIC]

this is an accurate sized stuffed collectible. It is a photo muppet, which is, one that has an internal armature for posing but no 'hole' for stickin' yer hand up his butt...

Who I wonder will be the first among us to try and take this apart and make it a Puppet? :lol

 

[Lukes Roommate]

I would love to grab Kermie, but my heart lies with Animal.
"WOMAN... WOMAN." :lol

 

[SithLord]

Terrific....love Kermit. The corners of the mouth look a bit more full than the original.

I'm confused - how can this be Kermit's 50th anniversary?

Surely it's 30 years since the first Muppet show.

Do frog years count as 1.66 human years?

Kermit was seen on WRC-4 in Washington D.C. on a local show called "Sam and Friends"

Jim Henson was still in College at the University of Maryland and was quite the business man even then.

He used to drive a Rolls-Royce while still in school.

When Kermit and Jim, they are one in the same ya know, started doing Sesame Street in New York a lot of us locals were Proud he made it in the big time..

Who would have guessed his Muppets and himself would end up being world-wide Icons..

 

[Star Wars Chick]

Oh my goodness, he is adorable. I always loved Kermie, he is just so darn cute and lovable. The poses they photographed him in are very cute as can be. He is just the best

Kermit came into existance in 1955 using Jim Henson's mother's green coat to make him.

Couple o'pics:

I won't be buying one, for I reckon this will be a good line for MR - lots of muppet fans out there.

 

[The Mantis]

VERY tempted to buy one, then I think that they must mean Summer of 2009 with all the delays in product.

 

[micdavis]

So it's not a puppet?

But the ad says it is. "Puppet replica". (If this were an AA thread there would be screams of false advertising)

So not a puppet.

Damn. Wanted a puppet. Oh well.

Edit: Oops....add does say "Photo"....my bad.

Dang..still wanted a stick puppet.

 

[Scarecrow]

I just don't see a $200 product there.

 

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Yep, it is the "Photo poser puppet" so yes it is indeed a puppet.

I'm getting this one and I'm making a stick puppet to sit along next to it.

I already got some head patterns from a 1976 Fisher price doll to resize and modify to make my stick puppet.

I pre-ordered mine this morning. I'm excited they're releasing these. I've always loved the muppets and I can't wait for future offerings.
