Hey guys- here are some pictures of Muppet recreations/attempts by me. (link below)

P.S.-I am begining to make a Beaker replica puppet. I know his head is made of shipping tube-but does anyone know how his mouth works?:eek:

Yep, and I like what I see, especially Kermit. Sam is looking good so far, but remember the eyes are different, as they can shift.

As for Beaker, I never knew his head was a shipping tube, but for the mouth, I'm not sure if I can explain without a visual aid, but I'll say you have to put your hand at a 90 degree angle and let your thumb control his mouth.

yes-im going to make eye sockets and get plastic eyes and make them move. i just was figuring out placing.

That's what i was thinking for beaker. but i heard once his mouth was controlled by a string or something. but i couldnt figure it out:big_grin:

Yeah, that was the one. The one pain in the tuckus was the shirt/labcoat.
