How much? How much are you willing to pay? I have one in the box!

I have really given up on this line. I was looking forward to the new full size Kermit and Fozzie, but in this economy and as another poster commented, there is a definent loss of momentum.

Good luck with the conversion! It isn't that hard, you just have to take your time, I hope you will post a couple of pics so we all can see your work!

Thanks for all your positive comments. I'll take a video in the next couple of weeks so you can see Animal, Gonzo and the gang in action!

:sing:As you can tell, Floyd Pepper is my favorite Muppet, I didn't know he wasn't performing anymore...It is a sad day

How to make a working half-bodied stage puppet from the MR Animal Photo Replica Muppet. Converting the Animal poser is really quite simple compare to the Gonzo conversion that I did. If you know how to build basic puppets and have a little experience with hand tools and hand sewing, then you...

I was really looking forward to getting a full-size Kermit and Fozzie, I am hoping they don't go the way of the Master Replica line!

Ditto what practicecactus said. The Sony portable DVD is the only one I could find that video input. I got it at WallMart for around $100.00. The line-in is a mini 1/8" but you can go to the shack and get an adaptor to go from RCA to mini. Good luck!

What you are looking for is something called a lipstick camera (roughly the size of a tube of lipstick). They are really small and produce a decent wide angle field of view. For a monitor, I reccomend a portable DVD player with line-in functionality. I have a Sony one, battery operated that I...

Really impressive work! I would love to build something like that in my garage, but the truck has to go someplace! Pretty nifty.

I am half way done converting the MR Animal poser into a working puppet. It is actually alot easier than Gonzo (it might also be it is my second MR Conversion). Right now I am building a device to actuate his eyebrows. I have taken pics all the way through and will post on another thread. BTW...

I am taking some careful measurements on the Animal poser, and it looks like it might just be doable to convert him as well. I am going to wait and see how good the animal FP Animal puppet I just got on E-b** looks in person, if it doesn't meet the same standard as our other puppets, I will...

I only Paid like $80.00 for him, whichis almost 1/2 the cost of a Mupet What Not, so I was not too afraid to tear into him. I have the animal poser as well, but have not yet figured out how I would go about converting him? My biggest concern is the diameter of his neck, I am not sure even a...

The arm wires are connected to a plastic "sternum" via the same type of plastic wire retainer clip and 4 screws. The arm wires are attached to his hands the same way. You can make a small incision to unscrew the retainer, buti just kept bending the wires at his wrist until the wires broke and...

I am looking for a large "fury" Elmo, I am looking at the 25" Gund, but was wondering if there is a better one out there, that is more like the real one? Any ideas? Thank you so much!
