Muppets Tonight has always been one of my favorite muppet spin offs so I decided to build a few muppets tonight replicas so lets take a look at them.
Big Mean Carl
First we have Big Mean Carl. Carl has always been one of my favorite muppets, I have already used him a couple of times to entertain kids and he is fun to perform. He is made out of a bright green fluffy towel, his eyes are split pin pong balls covered with yellow polar fleece, his eyebrows are made from black faux fur, his horns are made of yellow polar fleece, his pupils and eye bags are both made of red felt, he has live hands that are polyester fleece on one side and towel on the other, he has a wide mouth made from black felt it even has a tube in the back so he can eat things, his nose is pink fleece, his lips are green polyester fleece and his tooth is white felt.
Spamela Hamderson
In my last post you saw a Spamela that was still in progress but I finally finished her. She is made of beige polar fleece, her hair was going to be a wig but I couldn't find a decent wig so I just used yellow yarn, her mouth is red cardboard, her nose and ears were carved from blue foam and covered with fleece, her bikini was made from some flower patterned fabric, she has felt eyes with feather eyelashes and her sandals and sunglasses are both made from sparkly foam paper.
Pepe the King Prawn
Here is Pepe and he was one the first one I made but I just wanted to show my two favorites first. He was made from the same orange towel I used for Fozzie, his eyes are a split foam ball with black felt pupils, his lip is made from beige Sherpa, his tooth is a white pom pom, his hair is a piece of a red feather boa with black yarn antennas, his shirt was off of an Animal plush and you can't see it but he has a stick at the bottom with an invisible string that can move his mouth.
Rizzo the Rat
And last but never least it's Rizzo the Rat. I only made his mouth, neck and eyes, he was a furry brown rat Halloween decoration with googly eyes, a mouth just like Pepe's, a stretchy neck allowing his head to move around and a tee shirt off of a finger puppet.
Well those are all my Muppets Tonight replicas but those are not them all, I am planning on making Clifford, Howard Tubman, Nigel and David Hoggselhoff but if you have any suggestions just let me know.
Hi ho guys. I just thought that I could give you a quick peek at what I'm working on right now.
These are the unfinished head and arms for a Sherlock Hemlock puppet replica from Sesame Street. I don't think anyone else has built a Sherlock replica but I'm giving it a shot.
Next is another obscure muppet that nobody has ever made into a replica, it's Spamela Hamderson from Muppets Tonight. I have so far build the face, torso and ears so she still needs a wig for hair, arms, legs and clothes. And I will have to give her a more appropriate outfit instead of her signature green jacket and red bikini just to keep things kid friendly.
Hi ho again muppet fans, today I going to show you muppet replica number 6, it's Scooter.
I made him using the same peach poplar fleece as Animal. his glasses are just an adjusted pair of soft plastic toy glasses with split ping pong ball eyes and felt pupils, his hair is made from scraps of Fozzie's towel, his jacket is the same fleece I used for Kermit with buttons sewn on, he has a red felt mouth and a piece of a blue jean leg for his sleeve (but you can't see it in this photo), he has bendy fingers and wooden barbecue skewers for arm rods.
I really like how Scooter turned out. Scooter is probably one of my favorite muppets. He is a half bodied Scooter (one of my only muppets without legs)
The design was based on an 80's Scooter like you see in The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppets a Celebration of 30 years and The Fantastic Miss Piggy Show.
Well that's Scooter and again if you have requests more more replicas let me know.
Okay it's now my 5th muppet replica page and this one is about my Animal replica.
Animal is made of peach polar fleece and has hair made from a hot pink feather boa, his eyes are ping pong balls and his nose is an orange ping pong ball, he has a felt tongue and plastic teeth. I used the same head, arm and leg patterns as Miss Piggy which were from the book "Dressing the Naked Hand" and I used two wooden barbecue skewers for arm rods.
His eyebrows are a black feather trim and the best part about him is he has a slide inside his head so he can blink his eyes. This is my first puppet with an eye mechanism.
His torn up clothes are made of scrap fabric and old rags. He also has some wires inside his hands so you can bend his fingers.
His look was based on an early 70's version of Animal like from season 1 of The Muppet Show and The Muppet Show Pilot.
Well that's my Animal replica. If you have requests for other muppet replicas let me know in the comments below.
Now I am going to show you one of my favorite replicas that I built and it's Gonzo the Great.
Gonzo is made of blue fur. His nose is carved from blue foam and covered with sky blue netting. His eyes are made of split ping pong balls with felt pupils and eyelids. His clothes are just doll clothes that I can change around. His boots are glue on and the are made of metallic blue fabric.
This was originally and experimental Cookie Monster replica but he was too small and too skinny to be Cookie so I recycled him into Gonzo but I am planning on rebuilding Cookie soon.
I think that he turned out just great and you will defiantly be seeing him in all my videos (you already saw him in Jim Henson the true genius) well that's all and next you will see Animal so see you soon.
Wocka wocka fans. Now I will show you my Fozzie Bear replica just like I said I would.
Fozzie is made of an orange towel. He has white polka dotted fabirc as his tie and some brown fabric that I just found for his hat. His eyes are spoons with felt eyelids and Sherpa eyelashes. His nose is just a magenta pom pom. His mouth plate is made of red cardboard and he has a felt tongue.
He has on live hand and the other hand is just fastened on to his body.
Well that's my Fozzie Bear replica, next up you will see Gonzo until then wocka wocka and goodbye.
Hello again. Now I will show you my Miss Piggy Replica.
Piggy is 21 inches tall. She is made of a beige polar fleece blanket. Her hair is a blonde wig that I bought at a thrift store. Her gloves are made with metallic blue fabric. Her dress is made from some navy blue fabric with a flower design. she has small fish net stockings. Her nose and ears are carved from blue foam and covered with fleece. Her eyes are white felt with blue felt eyelids and pupils, purple feather eyelashes and black sharpie eyeliner. Her mouth plate is red cardboard with a felt tongue. Her shoes are just baby sized shoes that came with a previous puppet and last but not least she has purple feathered coughs around her shoulders.
Oh and of course she has two wooden barbecue skewers that I gave her as arm rods and her torso, arms and lags are stuffed with polyester bating.
The patterns I used for her are all from the book "Dressing the Naked Hand" (except for the torso, I made that from scratch).
And that's my Miss Piggy replica, next you will probably see Fozzie Bear so stay tuned.
