Adam Savage Meets a Real Fraggle Rock Puppet!

Published 2022-10-28
It's always a good day when we come face to face with a Muppet, and Adam is overjoyed to meet a rare original puppet from the classic show Fraggle Rock! Along with Propstore's Stephen Lane, Adam admires the construction of this character, including the ways the feathers on its head and fur on its body gives it personality that complements the performance of the puppeteer.

Check out the props and costumes from Propstore's upcoming auction: bit.ly/propstoreliveauction

  • @spacetonium
    Fraggle Rock was my JAM as a kid. Thank you for bringing back memories!
  • So grateful to be part of the team working on the new Fraggle Rock. Its incredible seeing these creatures come to life via the very talented & passionate puppeteers and actors.
  • @BMFC
    For anyone that doesn't remember a lighthouse, that's because the human owner of sprocket the dog was regional. In the UK he was a lighthouse keeper named the Captain.

    Fraggle Rock had such a huge impact on my life. I didn't really realize how much it affected me until I re-watched it with my daughter. So much of my personal world view was shaped by those goofy little puppets. Fun fact: Sugith Varughese who was also on The Expanse, he played David Paster(also played Mr. Mehta on Kim's Convenience), was one of the writers on Fraggle Rock.

    You can see lots of Fraggles and tons of other Henson stuff, from the first Kermit to Dark Crystal, at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta. Their collection is incredible.
  • @je5t3r10
    FYI, you can see this puppet in the opening sequence of Fraggle Rock on the far right wearing a red jumper.
  • @liminal6823
    It's weird seeing a muppet holding perfectly still.
  • @MissAshley42
    It's wild how alive it looks even sitting still. Masterfully crafted.
  • @microbuilder
    Even after nearly 40 years, the theme song still occasionally pops into my head
  • @Techyena
    1:42 oh my god yes As an animator, god this is genius! I never thought of them using feathers to account for secondary action!
  • @Zeldur
    OMG FRAGGLE ROCK. I looooved fraggle rock as a kid and still get the theme song stuck in my head. Also, omg that specific fabric for the muppet. That explains a lot for how the shading works on TV
  • @jenerhart7025
    Few things make me happier than an Adam Savage kid-in-a-candy-store reaction! Your joy and awe are infectious!
  • @murk1e
    With his comment that “he’s been to the lighthouse” he forgot that the external scenes were different depending on the location. So in the UK, we got Mr MacKay from porridge as the lighthouse keeper. In the US there were inserts filmed in Toronto.

    I loved Fraggle Rock as a kid. It was great to see this puppet, and in such beautiful shape.
  • I use to watch Fraggle Rock, when i was a kid in the 80's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very Cool
  • I loved Fraggle Rock as a kid. This is wild to see an original performance puppet from the show survived.
