Thank you all!
And yeah, I really hope that too, but in South Korea, we have REALLY bad Muppet marketings here... I was so angry when I found several mistakes on Muppet movies' introduction in Korea movie websites. Some of them made mistakes even on Muppet's name..in there, Gonzo's name was switched to 'Ganzo'. EW. Subtitles are even worse. They made Scooter and Kermit as friends, not go-fer and boss on The Muppets movie. Urghh. ㅍㅁㅍ
I think Disney has to do something on Muppet marketing in Korea.

Welcome, Shabbie!
Ooh, I can relate to that; Muppets aren't well-known in my country either. Fortunately, there are a lot of huge Muppet fans from different countries here. Hope you have a great time!

Hello, my name is Mary. I joined at the request, (begging/pleading) of my 11 yo. He has always loved Muppets, puppets and anything throwback to my childhood. He was so record super when he received one of the Whatnot puppets from Toys R Us for Christmas 2 yrs ago. Loved it, press on skits, takes great care of it. Anyway, he several times a day would visit you sites and others to search for Muppets/puppets for sale. His favorite is Animal, but at this point he would be crazy if he found one he can afford. I know 11 seems too young, but he wants to be a puppeteer and often does not give up on anything. Exp. For 8+ mos he searched the internet daily for an authentic Pac man arcade, 2 weeks before his birthday he located one that was affordable and at the time was thought not to work...to his excitement, it worked when we got it home!

Any insight, websites and even links are appreciated. Would love to encourage him to design and make his own as well. Thank you,
Mary

Hey guys, I'm Jonathan. Thanks for accepting me.
I've been a fan of The Muppets for years, and I was actually a "lurker" of the forums long before I joined. I came for the fanfiction and stayed for the fanfiction, as far as I'm concerned.
Hope to discuss all Muppety things with you guys.

Hi! I'm Amanda. I was a Muppet Babies fan as a little kid and I loved Sesame Street characters (I was unable to watch the show because whenever I got to the TV, it was never on) since I was 2. My grandparents went to WalMart on Black Friday and got one of the only few Tickle-Me-Elmos the store had stocked. Muppet-wise, I didn't watch the show but I saw some of the movies as a kid and I loved Gonzo a lot.

I got hardcore into Muppets, everything Henson company, and Puppetry as a whole last year. My dream is to become a puppeteer so I'm gonna work hard for that.

My favourite Muppet is Walter He's like the voice of the fans haha.
After Walter as Sam, Kermit, Scooter, and Swedish Chef. These emojis are the best omg.

I joined the forum to meet more fans since I know hardly any. Nice to meet you all!

Hi all,

I'm a long time muppet fan. I'm a child of the 80's so I watched a lot of muppets and sesame street and related and I still do. I'm proud to say that my almost three year old daughter loves the Muppets and Sesame Street. We listen to a lot of old school vynel and she gets excited and names the characters as she hears them. My little 4 month old son will also grow up surround by Muppets and Sesame Street...he already is.

I recently made my first 'real' puppet. I decided to give puppet building a go! I've been trolling here for a while now, gathering tips and ideas. His name is 'Mr. FoxWorthy' and he had his first gig as a special guest performer this past Saturday at one of the local bars here. He had the pleasure of singing some Christmas duets with a friend of mine...um..his.

Here he is delivering a very important holiday message. (this was a quick video to see how he looks on camera...I figured: why not make it a positive message).
