Kermit Showcase Thread!

[TheatreOfPuppets]

Well Kermie started getting a little to green with envy so here's a well-deserved spotlight for our Kermit replica puppet. He is completely hand-sewn with a foam-base body and custom-dyed green fleece. Certainly the most tedious to build due to the simplicity of the puppet. But always a joy when he's down to the last stitch!

OMG!!!! He's wonderful!!! My favorite muppet of all time (ok don't tell Cookie Monster I said that)!!!

This is why I want to get into puppet building, I'm planning on trying to make a Kermit myself after the holidays. If you want to give any tips for the beginner, I would appreciate it.

Great, always glad to help. You can PM me with any questions you may have!

I have loved the Muppet for years, especially way back in the 70's on the old Muppet Show.... These would make an awesome addition to my home theater room!!! Please get back to me ASAP!!! Can you do a Piggy replica as well? From the Muppet's Take Manhattan time period??

Thanks,
Matty!

Would love to see a fozzie Bear one if you ever plan on it. Have always wanted an oversized Fozzie head to wear with my TK armour too

As always, fantastic stuff!!! You really seem to know your muppets pretty well. Your talent in transferring that to an actual working puppet is nothing short of phenominal!!!

I do, indeed I do offer Fozzie as well... Just sent you a PM on that.
Just finished our newest Kermit which will be shipped out to Australia within the next week; will have pics soon of him as well!
Thanks again guys for your kind words, much appreciated. Feel free to ask with any questions!

Is this available in a full-body version ? With legs?

 

[Guri]

Beautiful. Much better than the kid's toy version I have.

Thank you; these are actual functional professional puppets just like the real thing; no detail in appearence or quality is left out.

What about the legs? can they be made to be removable?

 

[SgtFang]

Did they shorten Kermits neck over the years? I remember the old "Muppet Show" version and it always seemed like his neck was a little longer- like maybe 1/2" or 3/4". :confused

Yes, since all of our custom built puppets are built to your specs the legs can be made detachable if you'd like or permanently attached, up to you.

I C.... You know how sometimes when Kermit appeared his legs would move? Can there be a device added to manipulate his legs like that?

Absoluetly. It's a simple manuver to move each leg independently with two bendable rods which run up and out of each leg.

WOW! :eek That is just...INCREDIBLE!!! Beautiful work!

Well thank you! Kermit is a pleasure to build.

That's the first muppet I remember. Brings a tear to my eye!
