Preorder the Animal Muppet Replica

[Phillip Chapman]

Since many of us will be getting the Animal and Gonzo Replicas, I'd like to mention that if you order a replica using this link, a small portion of your order will go to Muppet Central to help keep the site, forum and radio running smoothly. It's a great way to help MC especially with the radio rates going up exponentially in the near future. We're also wanting to expand the site into new areas and this is a great way that you can help.

With Animal and Gonzo replicas planned for this year, and Fozzie and another character slated for 2008, fans will have an opportunity to own a lifelike group of Classic Muppets in their home.

The picture of Animal (ok so it was only his head), that was sent in the MR e-mail (Volume XII, Issue 3, May 22,2007) looks great. I don't think the pictures that are currently listed really do Animal justice, other than just show what Animal be dressed like.

Phillip, is that the right link? It starts off as dpbolvw.net but Master replicas site comes up.Should'nt it be Amazon or something?

[MuppetCaper]

I wonder when Animal will be shipping out after we pre-order him. I hope by summer, or the end of summer. I am just glad that I will get the chance to get one on the first shipment with my CS membership and a low number!

Yes, the link is good. It's a special one for us to use to point to Master Replicas. That's how they know if your order came through MC. Thanks in advance for your support.

I can't seem to find the pre-order link. Is it just for Collector's Society members for now?

The pre-order does not come out till next week sometime. I am just wondering about the shipping dates is all. I wished it was now hehehehe!

[Davina]

i want to know shipping dates (or approximate ones anyway...) too.. let me know if i'd have time to get the $ together for both or not
*sigh*

I was wondering about something....maybe Travis can elaborate on it. I wanted to know why MR does not go to Disney and look at the original photo puppets to get an idea on how they look in person. They are going by patterns, I know. But wouldn't you think since they go to Lucas Archives to see the original props and take pictures to get them right and that they would do the same for the Muppets? Kinda makes me wonder what goes into these fellas other than just patterns. What about material and colors. I wonder how they get those accurate.

YAHHOOOOO i have finished my , I think he looks great - i will post photos asap. I'm warming up to Animal - I'm sure that when he is standing in our homes he will be fantastic - It's not like Master Replicas makes crap, I own quite a few of their replicas and love them all. Ok now fozzie is done i think its time for some Pepe

[mrsieve]

Keeermit...is Fozzie wearing his hat? I can't wait to see your Pepe.

Unless Master Replicas changed their policy, they usually like to ship within 2 months after the pre order date.

I have this feeling that they might not ship that soon. If you look at other pre-order items that just came out. Some don't ship till mid summer and the fall. I know Animal is close to the finish production phase, but I doubt we will be seeing him that soon. Unless they are already mass producing him as we speak. That is one thing about MR I wished they would do. I wished they would spread out more of there products throughout the year instead of all at the end of the year.

I just recently joined this MR "Collector's Society"...do we receive a day early or so preorder? Or just the discount?
