I need a Kermit hand puppet for a June event -- I've done several live performances imitating Kermit, and for comedic effect I wear a Kermit-colored polo shirt and custom Kermit eyes made from a two halves of a ping-pong ball. But for this particular event, I only want the puppet to be seen.
I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, but I'm the guy who won the Kermit impression contest at the "Kermit's Swamp Years" panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, as chronicled here on this website (and I donated some photos from the event as well):

I used to have the Fisher Price Kermit puppet when I was a kid and wish I had been able to hang onto it (it's a vintage collectible now). And I've been trying to find a hand puppet for the last few years that wasn't made for child-sized hands only.
I've browsed ebay listings and a couple other websites, but none of them offer enough detail to know whether or not the puppet will work with an adult-sized hand. I've found the 18-inch (from Sabada Toys that looks like this one here: http://puppet.org/museum/catalog/kermit_4077652.htm ) and the 20-inch one on ebay (Eden Toys, 1993?), and from the pics they appear that they might fit my hand okay, but I want to know for sure before I make my purchase. Can anyone tell me for certain what size Kermit puppet would work for me, and where I might be able to buy one other than the sites already mentioned?
