Hi Marianne,
First you are very welcome and second it is indeed sad that the Jim Henson Company does not want to make Fraggle Rock Replicas but I on the same token I understand their reasons. The main reason is that if the posers/puppets look 100% the real thing then people may end up using them as the real thing and do illegal recordings of them doing things that Henson or Disney may not like.
I am happy and glad that you are getting those Fraggle puppets of Red and Wembley. I like you love collecting Fraggle, Muppet and even Star trek stuff although I have had to put a stop to it a long time ago for money reasons. Plus i don't have a job anymore, LOL.
So it's nice to see someone excited and having the fun of collecting. I have to go and get my breakfast now.
Take care and have fun in all that you do Marianne,
Terry Angus
: Dear Mr. Angus,
: thank you very much for your dear New Yearsgreetings and the answer of my question.
: Im a little sade to read, that the Jim Henson Company want never make "Fraggle Rock"-Photo Puppets and that you lost the job from Master Replicas. But Im glade, that Master Replicas made with your help the wonderful "Gonzo"-Replica in 2007. This is my favourite character in the "Muppet Show".
: Thank you very much for the tipp with the "Doozer"-Replicas from colette.fr. I saw this Replicas before. But the price is realy too expensive. I mean I love the "Muppets" and "Fraggle Rock" with all my heart, but 495 Euro for 1 small Replica...? But I search the new "Faggle Rock"-dolls from Manhattan Toys. I saw it by colette.fr, but one day later they was out of stock. I order 2 Handpuppets (Red and Wembley) by shopkitson.com, but kitson answer that they wait of the puppets, who come from Asia. So I must wait too...
: Im happy to read, if you like my "Gonzo"-collection. I collect sincs years and over the Christmasdays came 2 old "Gonzos" from Fisher Price (1979) new in my collection.
: Thank you very much for taking time to answer me!
: Best wishes and greetings,
: your Fraggle Rock-Fan
