    Muppets Tonight: What went wrong

    To me it seemed that they never got to finish a lot of the bits. I watched all of Muppets Tonight when it was new, even taped them to re-watch them (oh, the pre-YouTube mid 90's how I miss you). There are very few bits that were as memorable as say Pigs In Space or Vet's Hospital. A lot of...

    Mini-Fozzie Muppdate - Now Accepting Orders

    Hello all! A few of you have expressed interest in obtaining a copy of my mini-Fozzie figure in the past and on other forums. I have always said that I wouldn't accept any orders unless i was 100% complete. Well, having completed the first "test shot" last week (pictured here) as well as...

    For Sale: Palisades Dream Date Gonzo

    Hello all. Recently I returned after a long hiatus, full story in my old mini-muppet Fozzie thread (on sale soon!). Long story short, I had a job that took all of my time and mentally exhausted me and then got fired for making a mistake. Anyhoo, I realized that while I love my collection, I...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    Back when Ave Q was new a lot of people I knew went to see it even though they were not hardcore, or even casual, muppet fans. They thought the idea of puppets with adult problems was funny. The way people reacted to things was also a lot different. Twitter wasn't a thing. Facebook was barely...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    This is exactly why I don't get the arguments against Happy Time Murders being about adult puppet humor ruining childhoods. Maybe it's because it was the Henson Company? What's crazy to me is that Ave Q "ruins our childhood" much more than Happy Time Murders. It had puppet sex, fowl...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I always thought this is what Muppet's Tonight lacked. All of the stage segments seemed rushed, with the exception of Tales From the Vet which sometimes went too long. It felt like the actual show part of the show was an after thought.

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    I saw the movie and thought it was alright, though woefully lacked background. I expected there to be a lot more focus on the origin of the Happy Time Gang. Brian said in an interview that something like 20 or 30 minutes were cut, most of which was story. I could definitely tell that the...

    Sesame Street Season 49 News and Rumors

    At the end of the day, 50 is just an arbitrary number that we put importance into. 48 years is still a huge achievement and I am glad he was able to help pick and train his replacements over a long period of time. His characters are in good hands. Honestly, I can hardly tell when Erick is...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    And here we have the finished product next to the Jim Henson figure from Palisades and the Rainbow Connection Robin and Kermit. Of course Fozzie's scale is smaller as he is meant to work with the mini muppet line. The figure represents Fozzie bombing on stage and is in scale with the Diamond...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Thank you for the kind words. Right now the only thing that would make me feel any better is a job. On a lighter note, ive got a picture of the brick wall for fozzies stand. Ive got what would be considered a test shot that has been glued together, waiting for it to dry before i can take a...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Well, it's certainly been awhile. I don't know where to begin, so I will start with why I've been gone about 4 years. 4 years ago I ended up having to take a job that required about 5 hours or more per day of travel via mass transit. I worked 10 hours per day and my days off were split with...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I think it depends. The figs worked as a joke in MMW, but I don't think they would work as characters on their own like in MCC.

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    According to a Forbes article I read Disney was looking to make around $150 million world wide. As of right now it's near $60 million. Hopefully, with the world wide release starting later and the film being aimed more towards a world wide audience money will still be coming in for the next few...

    Muppets Most Wanted Box Office Numbers

    I didn't think of that before, but I can totally see parents shying away for that reason. It's too bad too because he is perfect for the role. The only other person I can imagine playing the part is a young Tim Curry. Plus in interviews Ricky is just beaming over working with the muppets...

    I recommend a mirrored back ground and plastic risers for height variance.

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Well as I said in my earlier post, the point was the show is terrible without Kermit because the muppets will do any old number that pops into their head. The whole point of the sequence is that the show runs wild without Kermit there to guide it and that even though Constantine is giving them...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I do think Jason should have done a small cameo at the start, if for no other reason than because the movie starts off right where the last one left off. I get him not having a main part in the movie, but not doing a short cameo was odd to me. It doesn't effect my view of the movie at all, just...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    I finally got to see the movie and I must say I liked it very much, more so than the last film. The last film played heavily on Amy and Jason with some good muppet moments, but mostly it was a Jason Segel movie featuring the muppets. That isn't to say I dont still like that movie. I do and at...

    Palisades style Mini Muppet project update thread

    Mulch is one I never thought of but now I really want to do that. He is both a classic and modern character which is nice. Not sure on the height. Will have to look at MT episodes. As for progress.....yes and no. Yes because I finally got the 3d printed joints back and I believe they will work...
