PRESERVATION
One of the main goals for the team is the preservation, archiving, and documentation of anything and everything related to the show.
This includes tracking down as many of the show’s props, puppets, and any other screen-used items as we possibly can.
Due to Adult Swim’s mishandling of the show, and as a result of the show’s cancellation, many of the show’s props were either damaged or completely destroyed when employees were instructed to trash set pieces.
While a lot was lost, there are still many relics of the show surviving today, and we are dedicated to finding as many of them as possible.
Another goal of ours is to eventually showcase these items to the public. Hopefully, one day display them in a store/shop/museum/showcase/etc, bring them to conventions (locally), insure them for years to come, and more.
Down below is an archive of all of the props we’ve managed to acquire.

I AM SPEECHLESS!
“This morning two props from Moral Orel arrived at my house with a letter saying: “I know they will be in good hands. Thank you for supporting Moral Orel.” There was no return address or marking from the sender. I don’t know what to say. I’m totally blown away. This….is….AMAZING! It’s a very cool thing to be happy when a project goes well, but to see others embracing it AND supporting it!!?? This is insane. The world works in mysterious ways my friends. To the mysterious, generous, & insanely helpful person who went out of their way to contribute to the project…Thank You. Saying thank you doesn’t even come close to showing my gratitude. Mysterious person, if you see this post please reach out. I owe you big time. Praise the lord, you sure made this collectors day/month/year! The generous action you’ve done doesn’t “fall on deaf ears”. These items will be protected & cherished for years to come! Thank you so much.” - Justin Yates (Team Orel)
