I can't tell if it is not the real Miss Piggy, but it is strange that they would bid her off.

I agree completely.If I even had a good replica I would keep it forever.Miss piggy has allways been my favorite muppet.Sad to see she's not going to a museum if she is an origional.

Also I am not aware of the Muppet studios having a department called "The puppet shop”, as it says in the description. This is either someone who is not too much of a Muppet fan ,or a scammer.Oh well, alls well that ends well,I guess...

Note that it refers to "authentic size"! I doubt this is original.Probably a Michael lisa creation.

Yeah, it's definitely a fake. Look at the pictures at the bottom. Her leg bends weirdly because it's obviously a hollow tube. Her cleavage looks like it was borrowed from Lucy of Avenue Q. Her head is too short front to back. The eyes are a little too magic-marker-on-felt. The ears are kinda bunnylike.

I'd say it's a very good homebrew replica, but it could never be mistaken for one of the actual working puppets.

So fake. It's a good replica but it's fake and not worth the money. Don't bid on it.

I'm confused, where did it ever state it was an actual Muppet? If anything, he may be plugging this Puppet Shop, but he never claimed it was an original?
