 Re: Muppet collector's Swan Song
That is insane!  The detail and craftsmanship that the guy put into that is incredible! Thanks for sharing this I would love to see them put this into production, but with a production version, it would probably lose a little in the quality... However, I do have the Swedish Chef kitchen playset, and the quality is pretty decent in that set. So it might be possible to make a good quality production playset of the stage.

Wow. Amazing craftsmanship. He must have plenty of time to appreciate it when he is alone at home not getting laid. Ba-zing!

 Re: Muppet collector's Swan Song
Is this incorporating the "Pigs in Space" playset, or is that componet hand crafted as well?

If you check out the link, you can see hotw much insane detail this guy put into the stage. There is so much more to it than just what you see in the picture above. And it's pretty large too, you can even fit the whole Swedish Chef playset in there which I believe is one of the biggest Muppet playsets.
