Anything Muppety From Comic Con?

[beaker]

Muppetnewsflash has been incognito and its hard to keep up with all the comic con reports.

Just wondering if there is any Muppet/Henson related merchandise, news, etc from Comic Con?(Muppets, Fraggle Rock, Henson alternative, anything?) I know last year Karen Prell with Red Fraggle had a live show thingy and in years past The Muppets and Henson have had a number of live puppet performances and q and a, along with exclusive Muppet merchandise.

Not one thing Muppet related was at Toy Fair this year sadly

Yes... The Henson Company will have a presence at the convention. Listen to MuppetCast 119 for all the panels and signings taking place tomorrow and Saturday and Sunday. If you're attending any or all, call Steve for an in-person interview/review. Hope this helps.

There is definitely something Fraggle happening, i heard people were walking around with promotional Fraggle plushes.

My editor friends went and scored me the hardback collection of all the muppet comics and it's signed by the artist Langridge #73 of 250. I am so excited as I failed to collect them all before they sold out. Langridge is there signing in person.

Ooh for real? I wonder if they are just the 2003 Sababa ones.
Any word on who was giving these out?

Aw ok, I see Boom Comics had a presence there. Very cool.

However, was anything Henson, or other Muppet stuff represented?

I'm hearing Langridge liked my friend so much that he drew a cartoon in it even!

I did a little digging and found a couple sites with coverage on the Farscape panel, which also included announcements for Fraggle Rock and Power of the Dark Crystal, and included them in the con report for my blog:
