    Neat Find

    You're very right about that. In a movie with David Bowie and red creatures removing their own heads, it'd be hard for ANYONE to stand out :) And yeah, it sucks that the poor reception for Labyrinth really broke Henson's spirit. Artistically it wasn't a failure at all, but commercially it...

    Neat Find

    While Labyrinth may not have been a master class in acting for Jennifer Connelly, I dare say the character of Sarah does experience growth and has an arc. She learns lessons along the way and changes for the better by the end. Dark Crystal has some good things going for it. I like the idea of...

    Neat Find

    I had a neat find at a used book sale that was hosted by my workplace a couple weekends ago. I came down specifically to get a cheap copy of Stephen King’s “IT” but of course had to stay and look around while I was there. They had tables upon tables of paperbacks and hardcovers, and I was...

    "The Muppets" (2011) - Kermit's Office/Miss Piggy's Dressing Room Photo Lot

    Figured I would update this thread with the first and so far only addition I've been able to make to my collection of set dressing/art department photos from 2011's "The Muppets" movie: A photo of Miss Piggy with fashion designer Valentino, "signed by" Valentino in silver marker in the same...

    Muppets Most Wanted screen used prop auction

    To be fair to them, I guess the listing doesn't describe them as being "screen-used" either. It would be nice to have that provenance, but with several papers like these having been sold, good luck proving it. They're clearly from the art department at the very least, so I think they're cool...

    "The Muppets" (2011) - Kermit's Office/Miss Piggy's Dressing Room Photo Lot

    Thank you for the comments and views so far. Just wanted to add that if any members here won any of the other photo auctions on Ebay back in 2013 or know someone who did, I'd love to see your pics and how you display them, etc. It would be great to piece the puzzle together and see more of...

    "The Muppets" (2011) - Kermit's Office/Miss Piggy's Dressing Room Photo Lot

    Thanks very much. You can see why I was excited. I'm not a serious collector and don't really follow the market for this stuff, but I get the impression it doesn't become available very often, especially since it falls under the Disney umbrella now. Had a quick look at your site too - so...

    "The Muppets" (2011) - Kermit's Office/Miss Piggy's Dressing Room Photo Lot

    Thanks for the reply. Very neat; what Muppet production(s) do you have photos from, and where did you get them? Do you have pictures of your collection anywhere? I'd like to see those as well. Thanks for your advice re: ITOYA. Some of these photos have mock signatures on them that I would...

    "The Muppets" (2011) - Kermit's Office/Miss Piggy's Dressing Room Photo Lot

    Hey everybody; After a couple years of diligently checking in with an Ebay seller who in 2013 had listed a number of lots of prop photos used as set dressing in 2011's "The Muppets" movie and in the recreations of Kermit's office and Miss Piggy's dressing room as seen on display at the El...

    Questions about Muppets Photo+Frame and Henson Autograph

    Great pics. I've seen gloves like that on Ebay before and always thought they'd be neat to have too. Thanks for sharing! Joe

    Questions about Muppets Photo+Frame and Henson Autograph

    Thanks for the feedback, Chris. Do you have any pics of any of the autographs in your collection? As for the picture, I was inspired to take a shot in the dark at some detective work and actually found an e-mail address for the listed set decorator of "The Muppets", Tracey A. Doyle. I sent her...

    Sounds neat; do you have pics of that stuff? Where do you acquire the bulk of it?
