Saw this link on Tumblr. Aside from my sadness at seeing the phrase "Travelling Mitt" (how hard can it be to avoid that error!), I am excited to see the Fraggles out somewhere in the press. The biggest question for me is regarding the picture of Uncle Matt.

I think it's a new picture. Does this mean the Henson company built a new Uncle Matt puppet? It looks like it and I hope so. If this is a new Uncle Matt puppet, then I'll feel safe (or foolish enough) to stoke up some viral video speculation.

What do you guys think?

They did build a new one a few years ago I think. It was used by Dave this year at the Henson Amphibian Ulmni event in NYC.

I didn't know that; I thought there was only the Red puppet still in circulation. If there has been an Uncle Matt puppet in existence for a few years, it's a shame they haven't done anything with it lately.

Best new Fraggly images in decades.

Maybe something will come out of this ad campaign, like a commercial. If you've got the puppets, and I'm pretty sure Karen Prell would at least be willing to appear in anything, you might as well do it.
