    Original film used Landstrider restoration project

    I happen to have some props from Dark Crystal and various other Muppet projects. They are 100% authentic, and I can almost say with absolute certainty that the fact that these are still around is an extremly rare find. Most of these are one of a kind items. I will entertain only serious offers...

    Original Material

    All Muppet Show Pigs Were Flocked All muppet show pigs were flocked, but there is a small chance that during the first season of Muppet Show or slightly before that during the 1st two pilots when all these puppets were being built that one of the builders may have covered a pig puppet with...

    Original Material

    Carving and Flocking Foam Heads I believe what happened is back then the sources for fleece were constantly changing, you'd buy from one place and six months later they were gone and you couldn't match it. Some one at Muppets must of had some prior knowledge to flocking and how it was used in...

    Expert puppet designer and builder availible

    I find it strange that so many people keep asking the same questions about how Muppet arm rods work. Yes, it's important that your arm rods don't twist around inside the hand if you want complete control of the puppets arm, so if you really want to know what the Muppet workshops secret is I'll...

    Do the Muppets have nylon sleeves up to the mouth?

    Neck Sleeve There really isn't a simple answere to your question, but I would say that for the most part Muppets do have some type of neck sleeve or a channel that leads up to the head.

    For the record the Muppet workshop really only uses two methods for cutting straight and perfect lines when patterning out a puppet. Razor blades are the most used choice by the shop, and second would be the band saw. No matter which way you go, the blades go dull very quickly. Sometimes when...

    Connecting foam jaws

    If what you're wishing for is a puppet with a soft or scott foam mouth plate, here's a little tip. Start off with sheet foam that is 3/8 or 1/2 inches thick. Most builders are use to having two parts, an upper and lower jaw taped together to create a hinge. Foam mouth plates don't for the...
