    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    Hi ho! Dearth (Nadir) here, otherwise known as Alex Newborn. Well, we've got a brand-new forum with much easier photo capabilities, and I thought I would go through my old 21-page thread and group all my best photos here in a new thread without you guys having to link somewhere else. From the...

    Muppet/Star Wars figures revealed at SW Weekends

    Some additional pics have been posted... http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/06/the-force-is-strong-with-the-muppets-at-disney-parks/ If you look at that baseball on his desk, you can approximate their size. I'm still not as thrilled with their sculpts as I was with the original...

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

    There's another thread for discussion of the new puppet builds, I was commenting in it last night on Gonzo's ability to move his eyebrows independently. I was so jazzed by the new Fuzzy Pack trailer, I decided to try to string together the overlapping snippets of scenes we've been shown in the...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    This is weird... remember that 'Wedding(s) of Miss Piggy and Kermit' video that I posted a month ago, but it was blocked due to copyright reasons? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LibuDsvUGaY Well, I noticed that twice since last night, its status has changed to 'public' and then back to...

    New Muppet books to tie in with the movie on the way!

    Not necessarily... I read the entire junior novelization of POTC: On Stranger Tides, and it just cuts off about halfway through the film. Sign me up for that punch-out theatre one. That's right up my alley. Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    See if this video works, or if it's blocked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAbaZICDBEU I spliced together fragments of similar shots from the two trailers into continuous takes. Alex

    Muppet/Star Wars figures revealed at SW Weekends

    Hmmm... honestly? I think the designs looked better on paper than they do in 3-D. Maybe these are just prototypes, though, with some tweaking left to be done. Alex

    Redesigned Muppets for "The Muppets" movie

    In the "Green With Envy" trailer, is it just me, or does Gonzo cock one eyebrow up? Has he always been able to move them independently, or is that a new feature? I'm also interested to see if Rizzo ever tilts his head upward at the neck, because the first time I ever noticed that was in...

    *If* Figures for "The Muppets" were made, what would you want?

    Pushed back to the fall... which luckily puts it closer to the time of the movie hitting theatres. Alex

    More action figures on ebay...

    I have a question about the two Lips figures... do they have that tacky/sticky problem that a lot of the final-series Muppet figures had? Alex

    Aristotle finally in action at sesamestreet.org!

    Okay, I have to admit... I had no idea who Aristotle was when I opened this thread and followed the link to the sandwich video. And up until now, nothing that I saw in this thread or in that particular page mentioned what was unique about the character. But within the first TEN seconds of...

    "The Muppets" Teaser Trailer in US Theaters

    I thought the 'misdirection' theme of this trailer was extremely clever and well-done. When I first saw Segel and Adams, I nudged my son and told him to pay attention. But after a point, even I was wondering, "Wait, those two did TWO movies together this year?" When the announcer says Kermit's...

    FS- Backstage, Rowlf, Mega Beaker, Thog

    I think I still have one available. I boxed up a lot of large stuff that was cluttering up the house, though, so I'll have to uncrate things and see. Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Hi Christian! Welcome to MuppetCentral's forums! Nice big diorama you've got there. I love the orchestra pit and the house seats, and of course the balcony. Wow, I have NEVER once considered making customs of the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband. So far I've just been playing it safe by adding...

    If your collection is lacking Lips

    Those are rare figures here too... unless you mean that everything is rare in the UK *except* for Zoot, Lips, and the playset. In which case, I may have to get you to grab me some 'plentiful' Red Shirt Zoots and Brown Shirt Lips! Alex

    "The Muppets" Teaser Poster

    Some wag on AICN's replies noted that it looks like Gonzo's carrying a gun, and now I can't UN-see that! LOL Alex

    If your collection is lacking Lips

    Alas, the Amazon seller did not have any more Lips figures to trade me. But she DID offer me a partial refund if I wanted to keep the Silver one! So I got him for $14.99! Not a bad deal. Alex

    If your collection is lacking Lips

    Well, guess what? It wasn't even a Brown Shirt Lips! I was the buyer on that item, and it just arrived in the mail. A Brown Shirt Lips would have completed my Lips set... alas, when I opened the package, it was another Silver Shirt Lips. Still a good price, and my own recently-acquired...
