    Muppet Figures: Disney Parks

    What's the price on this set? I saw some on eBay, but I wasn't sure how competitive the seller's asking price was with the Park sticker. Alex

    Seeking some figures

    Further illustrating my mother's rule of thumb for collecting: Buy it when you see it. She mainly buys antiques, but it works for all sorts of items. Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Heeeyyyy... now that's actually an intriguing idea... GAR, you should take a MOTU Battle Cat and repaint it to look like Gaffer, the backstage cat! Add an eyepatch and a bandage around his tail, voila! Alex PS J3h, I love that Alice Cooper idea!

    Seeking some figures

    In his last line, he said he plays with them, so my guess is that their packaging condition is not important. Sorry to say, the prices have been steadily increasing since Palisades went out of business, and with the film and Oscar attention attracting new fans, the values are only going to go...

    I'm a starting collector with a few problems...

    Definitely look into a permanent display shelf-- and make it big enough for all the Muppets that will follow now that you've taken your first plunge-- but also invest in some large ziploc-style plastic bags to keep each figure from rubbing against others when they're being stored. Rizzo will fit...

    The Muppets 2011 customs

    This is the hand-sculpted Walter made by Christian, originally posted on page 25 or so, over in the custom figures thread. And this is a restaurant premium robot that I keep meaning to paint to look like 80's Robot. Not sure if anyone has tackled the Moopets yet. As for the barbershop...

    Muppet Figures: Disney Parks

    Are these available from Disney's phone order service for Park-exclusive merchandise, aka DelivEars? 1-877-560-6477 What's the exact name of the PVC set in the photo above, so I can ask for them? Alex

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    No plans at present for Biker Link and Biker Piggy, but it does sound like an intriguing idea. Any custom Link is a VERY time-consuming project, so after I finish one, I generally avoid him for a while. I thought at one point about making Link in the red track suit (like when Peter Sellers had...

    Sweetums eyelids closeable?

    I think the wet paint theory is the correct one here. I can only recall one Muppet figure that has a sculpt variant (some of my regular Fozzies have their mouths open wider than others) but for the most part the molding process got nailed down and then stayed the same. My Sweetums is fine, but...

    I need some ideas on moving my playsets

    Yes, you'll need boxes, from anywhere you can find them. (Was the 'liquor store' advice borrowed from Mrs. Bitterman? lol) You'll probably also want some packing tape, since most businesses 'break down' (flatten) cardboard boxes so they'll take up less space in the dumpsters. Lots and lots of...

    Classic Creatures - Return of the Jedi (now on Blu-Ray!)

    Oh, also annoying... The stuffed Pepe doll that I got for my wife is cross-eyed, so he looks like the illegitimate offspring of Pepe and Cookie Monster. Alex

    Classic Creatures - Return of the Jedi (now on Blu-Ray!)

    So for Christmas I received the 9-disc Star Wars Complete Saga on Blu-Ray. I am watching the third bonus disc right now, which contains an old TV special entitled Classic Creatures - Return of the Jedi, co-hosted by Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams. I haven't seen it in many years, so I had...

    A Real Dearth Nadir Action Figure Is Coming!

    My friend Dave in CA bought me a set of these and the new StarSpeeder 1000 toy. They haven't arrived in the mail yet, but here's the pics Dave took of his... FINALLY a good comparison of the size of these alongside the Palisades figures...

    Interview with Dave Coulier on "Muppet Babies"

    I spotted this thread shortly after posting an old Dave Coulier interview on YouTube, so I thought I'd share the link. This is from a 1990 episode of the Arsenio Hall show, at the height of Coulier's popularity with 'Full House'. They reminisce about working together in standup and on Real...
