Now this could be a cool line. They have to do Animal! It's not easy being green but for $200 you can sure give it a shot. :laugh:

I think so too. Fully articulated and it's Kermit. :D 2500 is a good ES, I'd think it will sell well.

If this were by CINEMAQUETTE the price would be around $ 1500.- :laugh:

$200 for a stuffed animal?! Ok, it's got wires attached to it's arms so you can have "full articulation" ;) but two hundred bucks?...

DRod already told us you have it on order so don't lie. :laugh:
I know you want that Kermit.
But you know, if it was cheaper I'd get it myself. HELL! I grew up watching the Muppets but I don't need a $200 stuffed Kermit like ISH does.

Wow, insanely good price on this. I won't be buying, but it's extremely well made. $149 shipped with the coupon is unreal.

For those who say this is priced too high, I saw an estimate on the RPF where someone asked a member to make some more Muppets to go with this one. The maker quoted him $1,500-$2,500 per puppet. Of course that includes a slot where you can put your hand inside to move the puppet (the MR version doesn't have that), but it's still a decent comparison.

I bet a ton of people will mod their Kermit to add the hand slot.

I'm pretty sure I'd get this if they continue to make them. I'd really like an Animal, Gonzo, Fozzie and maybe some others if they're done just as well. I wish it had the hand slot cause that would rock. But like they said it could be modded but I wouldn't know how to go about that so I'd prolly gut Kermit. Anyways Elwood, how can you get this $150 shipped? Otherwise I'd wait to see this at a dealer!

You can sell the free mini-saber they give you for about $60 once these start to ship. The free mini-saber from last year already goes for over $100 on Ebay.

Exactly. And at $149 shipped,isn't exspensive at all for what it is/represents.

That is pretty sweet. I haven't seen much of what MR has that I'd want, but they are doing a Rocketeer statue that Howard Studios was working on correct? I think I might join then...
