abstract	The Master Replicas brand (also known as MR) produce movie prop replicas and high end collectibles. Based in Walnut Creek, the company was founded in 2003 by Michael Cookson. Cookson has served as Chairman of Master Replicas since it was founded and chief executive officer since August 2004. Historically, Master Replicas has sold its products principally to customers in the United States. Master Replicas manufacture licensed product for brands and companies such Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Disney, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Chronicles of Narnia, Marvel Comics, Muppets, and Stargate. Previous to January 2008, the company manufactured and sold product under the Star Wars brand before the license had expired. While many of their items are props at full-scale (particularly weapons like lightsabers, phasers, and swords), they also make many scale model items, like spaceships, and characters. Master Replicas has also been commissioned to make items for corporations to resell on their own. For example, MR made a 1/6 scale Master Sword and Hylian Shield for Nintendo and Target Stores to coincide with the release of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The company produced collectible Muppet photo puppets from 2006 to 2008. In 2006, Master Replicas produced a Kermit the Frog photo puppet replica, using the patterns and materials that the Muppet Workshop uses to produce the official photo puppets. The second figure in Master Replicas' Muppet Collection was an Animal photo puppet replica which was released in 2007. The third was a Gonzo photo puppet replica, released in 2008. A Fozzie Bear Photo Puppet was in the works as the fourth replica, proto type was first shown at the San Diego Comic-Con in 2007; however the company struggled to keep production costs down and find substantial retail support for such a high-priced item, and production was not completed before their license expired. Fraggle Rock performer Terry Angus has been involved with the production and design of the replicas. eFX picked up the license to produce photo puppets in 2009, with hopes of continuing the series of products.
