Me too! You can also flock plastic, but it wouldnt work with a hinged mouth.so either the mouth would have to be non functioning, or go for the material covered head with hinged mouth, like the walkaround.

From what I've heard, the real Piggy poser's mouth doesn't move, and based on the pictures Frogboy posted earlier in this thread, that appears to be true. So, if it's a really accurate replica, her mouth won't be hinged.

Which is fine with me....I just want to see her made along with Fozzie. Can't wait!

Can someone out there for sure confirm this? I wouldn't understand why she wouldn't have a hinged mouth. I mean, if you wanted to close her mouth, why wouldn't you be able to? I'm not a puppet builder and don't know much about how posers are constructed, but think there should be an option. Although, now to think of it, the more recent pictures of Piggy have her mouth open all the time.

Anyway, I'd still like to know this for a fact though. Thanks guys!

no one knows "facts" yet... we're all just discussing options and possibilities.. piggy's a way off yet and no real decision has probably been made yet.. this is just general specluative chatter... nothing more...

I wouldn't mind, but would prefer the hinge.

If they want to model it after the Muppet poser she would not have the hinged mouth. However, if they wanted to make her a full poser for the people buying thier product I would think they will hinge the mouth. It is the whole purpose of these replicas. People are not taking these home and playing with them, they are taking them home, posing them in the desired position and then putting them on display.

Hey I just visited EFX's website, they have the first of the in prodution stuff on Rizzo up. the pictures are really cool and theres even a 360 view. OOOH it just gets me revved up about rizzo, I cant wait to get him.

[MuppetCaper]

Now that I have a job....I am ready to get her!

So for Christmas I'm getting the Gonzo and Animal replicas and was going to get Kermit but now, after reading some stuff here, I'm wondering if I should wait and get EFX's Kermit when it's released. What is the thought here from everybody? I obviously have to have Kermit in my collection, but will the EFX Kermit be THAT much better than the MR version?

If you want all of your replicas to be in scale with each other. Go with the EFX Kermit. He's going to be the right size in comparison to the others. MR Kermit is about 10% smaller than he should be.

So obviously the EFX Kermit will be a little pricier than the MR one was.

Thanks for letting us know.yeah, great behind the scenes pictures.It is a shame that Rizzo doesnt have his "Ratpanic" patch on his jacket on the 360 turn around.Anyone else having problems making Rizzo turn around? there doesnt appear to be navigating controls and it only seems to slightly respond when I left mouse click it at random spots.
PS Just worked it out how to make Rizzo turn around.You put the mouse pointer on the far left of the photo,hold down on the left click and drag across to the right.

It's basic flash. It should work fine. Older Macs aren't always the best with the flash plug-in. Maybe you should download the latest version.

I wonder if Rizzo might have a Thanksgiving Pre-order?
