    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    Help! Guys, I did not imagine this, did I? Wasn't there a clip in one of the four trailers (Green with Envy, Fuzzy Pack, Being Green/Green Lantern parody, and the 'official' one that's running in front of Cars 2) where you saw several chickens dusting the seats of the Muppet Theatre like...

    "The Muppets: Fuzzy Pack" Teaser Trailer On-line

    I was watching the Fuzzy Pack trailer again just now. The Rubik's Cube on the dusty desk always makes me smile, because I too am a child of the 80's and I still keep a Rubik's Cube on my nightstand. Then it dawned on me, the last place I saw a Rubik's Cube was in ANOTHER Disney film. One can be...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Hey, J3h! Where you been, buddy? Yeah, I definitely want to complete the Vet's Hospital environment but first I'll have to unearth the vinyl tile pieces that I bought long ago. Alas, in the midst of some minor home improvements this summer, they're all but inaccessible at the moment. Of...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    I found this little guy in one of my custom fodder boxes the other day... I think I might just have to paint this guy yellow for a custom 80's Robot! Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I've been having problems lately with things arriving broken. To my amazement, though, yesterday I got this crappy box in the mail, smushed on one side, held together with duct tape, and absolutely ZERO padding inside. Out tumbled a 1981 Mattel Clash of the Titans Pegasus... in flawless...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    If the headslams are looped-- which, like Beauregard, I don't think they are-- then they had to digitally fix that car outside the window, visible pulling into a parking space while she does it. Alex

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    I was watching the trailers again last night while working on a little project, and at one point my computer froze up and the image was compressed so the puppets looked too skinny... I had never consciously noticed it before, but I suddenly saw a resemblance, especially around the jaw, between...

    Not Guy Smiley, but I did have a thought of turning Johnny into the Announcer for Vet's Hospital and Pigs in Space. As for Bert, I have the Knickerbocker 'Play With Me' Bert and Ernie, which are poseable and a very close scale with Palisades, but Bert is missing his clothes. Alex

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    I keep seeing negative comments on here about the Muppets lip-synching to someone else singing... Funny. Wasn't that more or less how they got started? ;) Alex

    Muppet/Star Wars figures revealed at SW Weekends

    In scale to what? To the Palisades toys? Sadly, no, I asked that very question when the designs were first announced publicly, last August. Their reply was that they would be smaller than the Palisades toys. Or did you mean they're not in scale to each other? Beaker does look a little short...

    "The Muppets" Official Movie Trailer

    Nope, I actually love that line. Partly because it was so unexpected and raised the new question of puppet excretory functions, but mainly because it FEELS like an ad lib Frank Oz made during the voiceover. I can easily imagine everyone at the looping session falling about laughing, and then...

    Hey, I've got an idea. If your order is gonna be $25 or more, the shipping within the US would be free, right? So if you're really serious about getting some stuff, here's what we could do... You could have Amazon mail it to MY ADDRESS here in the US, and then I could mail it to your address in...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Okay, so you've heard me mention playing the Genie in Aladdin. My friend and fellow Sticky Wicket Michael Hill (see above, second from left) was also in Aladdin as Jafar, and he had the best costume in the entire show. Not surprising, since our seamstress for the entire production was his...

    Cheap Palisades Muppets Haul from Amazon

    Thanks for the tip! I ordered a Swinetrek, a Cabin Boy 2-pack, and a Mini Bunsen Honeydew, qualified for free shipping, and it only came to $28.97! I only want the Swinetrek for the First Mate Piggy, and then a buddy of mine wants just the playset to display his Cybermen, so I'll offer it to him...

    "The Muppets: Being Green" Teaser Trailer Online

    Pete picks up Rizzo and holds him for a moment in MTM. So, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I don't think the audio we hear in this trailer necessarily reflects what the characters say in those shots in the film. Especially Kermit in front of the red curtain. A couple of other spots...

    "The Muppets: Being Green" Teaser Trailer Online

    Notice the Wall-E-esque robot puppet in the green-screen shot where Beaker gets sucked up the pipe. Little bit of synergy? Alex

    Christian, you really nailed the likenesses on the faces of the Jerry and Frank figures! Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Lamango: I'm conversant on Dr. Who because two of my friends here in town have been fans of the show since the 70's. One of them sent me those pics, which he found on a Who forum, to ask if I had a spare Swinetrek. Aside from a K-9 scaled to Star Wars figures, I don't own any Dr. Who...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Hey guys! Our improv comedy troupe welcomed a new member this past Friday night, and my friend Adam's wife thought it would be a good idea to take some headshots and group shots for our Facebook page. Here's me... looking a bit different than the last time you saw me in a video, because a...

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Well, the old thread is still there, if that's the style anyone prefers. But I like seeing pictures instead of links. And I often see messages on other forums with the sentiment: "This thread is useless without pics", so I don't think I'm alone in that preference. I just presumed most people...
