Master Replicas Kermit Conversion?

[CrazyHarryFan]

Has anyone tried to purchase the Master Replicas Kermit and create a working Puppet out of him? :) That seemed like the most logical thing to do, and it would seem to be the highest quality way to do it. Unless there are aspects I don't know about the puppet.

I was just wondering if anyone had tried. I was thinking that EVENTUALLY, this might be the way to go.

Just wondering what your thoughts were on it. LOL Hope it's okay to ask!


Thanks and God Bless,

First of all, welcome to the forum. :)

I do know that someone dissected the Kermit poser as can be seen on this blog (https://www.hijinxcomics.com/blog/2007/09/). MR's Kermit poser proportions are slightly smaller than the puppet, however it would likely be the best way to get an authentic Kermit puppet. The issue would likely be with hollowing out the head without compromising the integrity of the face. I'm certain a puppet builder around here can provide some advice. ;)

Thanks for the welcome! I have had a blast here. I just wish I could find other puppet people in my area! LOL

Anyhoo, it seems that the blog wouldn't work for me, but I saw the one photo.

This possibility interests me thought. It might just be possible!

You know,
i just got my Animal Replica and I'm very tempted to turn it into an actual puppet...

I have been researching the Master Replicas Kermit and seeing if it can be turned into a Puppet. There are two opinions of everyone I've talked to. One, yes and go for it. Two, it would be a LOT cheaper just to make my own. haha I'll start by making beginner puppets first.....:crazy:
