To promote the original Star Fox game on the Super Nintendo the company contracted an unspecified company to help them produce a set of live-action puppets of the original Star Fox team, including Fox, Slippy, Falco, and Peppy. Time Extension did a bit of digging to find out what happened to them and sadly, because the puppets were so fragile, they had to be disposed off after the production was finished.
“The Fox puppets created at our company were made by gluing fur and feathers to natural rubber, so they deteriorate simply by being exposed to air. Because of that, we had to destroy them after production was finished.”
Thanks to Greatsong1 for sending in the news tip!
It’s sad to see relics of the past being lost to time. I feel like it would be cool if they recreated them and then made them a product to buy in the Nintendo store.
I hope they doing some more merch for this franchise. Has so much potential. Like other IPs from Nintendo
CFG burned them I saw him, tried to stop him but he just turned around and just punched me in the face so hard I went into coma for 3 months, that’s how I became a fan of the super monkey ball franchise
I don’t remember that
OMG
So much for that live-action Jim Henson Company movie I thought existed when I first saw renders of those things in 2002…..
And it’ll be too much work to recreate them.
Nintendo: F**k Preservation. Our Products (Gaming Culture) Are An Explosion!
There’s a good recent Always Sunny episode where they go to a Chucky Cheese type place and hate all the changes. So they find the storage roo. and find the old puppets and try to bring them back, it goes bad.
AI Puppets.
Am I doing this right?
Oh good, you survived that ff7 rebirth article fight. Your joke is funny btw, it’s so true.
