You keep asking where to find things to make the Avenue Q puppets.    The thing is that the "stuff" used to make those puppets are not going to be available.  For example it is very possible that the fur they used was special ordered from a milling company.  The fleece they used on the other puppet is most likely custom ordered or specially dyed in their workshop.  The eyes which you asked about in another thread are the same. 

They didn't run to the local store to get this stuff.   They are custom made puppets.  You'll need to check your local stores to see if you can find a fur that is similar to the one they used on trekki.

I recall reading somewhere on Lyon's site that he custom-dyed the antron fleece for the puppets.... oh yeah, here:

http://www.lyonpuppets.com/custompups.html

and

"Each puppet is made from scratch. Much of the fabric, like the furs for Kate Monster and Trekkie Monster, is custom-ordered in bulk, and the skin fabrics of humanoid puppets like Rod and Nicky are custom-dyed in Lyon’s workshop. Factory-made googly eyeballs aren’t good enough—every eye is individually crafted."

As Shawn said most custom made puppets are made with specialized product. You have to just check around for product and prices.
