Oh, so awesome! An emotional reaction from me, that's for sure! One of my life's highlights was playing Bunsen and Beaker as Richard Hunt's "stand in" during a production just months before Jim died. The original Muppets will always have a fond place in my heart. I'm so glad to see another fan keeping them alive!

These are fantastic... Animal is one of my favorites....and I'm much like him too. I wonder how some more obscure Muppet costumes would fare at a con...anyone remember Crazy Harry?
WOW! Thanks, that means a lot!
HA! That would be funny. Wouldn't it be cool to do the entire Electric Mayhem?
I'm glad! The world could use more people in entertainment like Jim Henson. He is greatly missed!

One of the most surreal moments of my life was putting on Kermit the Frog once. My hand just didn't fit. I couldn't make him look the same. That had meaning for me on so many levels... Although the puppet was very sturdy, I treated it like a Fabrige egg! Even now, I'm not sure whether to call the puppet an "it" or a "him"...
So awesome! It's so refreshing to see something happy at a con. They can get a little depressing at times with the overabundance of drab, dreary, depressing, macabre, etc. Clearly they brought joy to a lot of people!
That is so impressive. One idea: have you thought about making their arms/hands more muppet proportion? All three characters had baggy sleeves for puppeteers hands to pass through.
LOL! Where was that?
