    Wheels, Flutes & Crowns Commercial 1966

    Awesome, thanks for the heads-up. I hate that the film stock seems to be deteriorating, but it's amazing to finally see something I've only read about. Alex

    AMAZING(! !) Muppet Cupcakes

    Shrug... don't all cupcakes kinda taste the same? Go buy some regular cupcakes in your town, and look at the photo of the Mup-cakes while you eat them. Your tongue will probably not know the difference. ;) Alex

    Labyrinth w/sock puppets

    I liked it when she banged her fists on one wall, then the other, and then slid down... EGGZACTLY like the scene in the movie. Her yells even sounded like Jennifer Connelly in that part. And the 'worm' voice sounded like Brian Henson, LOL. (It wasn't.) Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Yep, the storyboards that I drew had several different combinations of scales of toy, so that by continuing to make Kermit et al. smaller and smaller, Gonzo will seem to continue growing throughout the story. Bigger and bigger until... Well, I didn't want to give away the plot, but I guess I...

    Super Grover question

    I own one and have opened him, and redressed him from Mild-Mannered Reporter to Super Grover and back at least once. I do not think the arms are bendable, although I admit mine is currently not on display, he's packed away, so I wasn't able to lay hands on him to check. Normally anything...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    As for more Muppet recasts of movies, I do have a couple of those in mind. I still want to do more with Jurasick Pork. I've got a couple more figures I need to customize, like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew as John Hammond, and Piggy as the Swinosaurus. I also need to retouch my Gonzo-as-Ian-Malcolm...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    I think I saw Life of Brian once on cable... like twenty years ago. I don't actually remember that much about it. I was always more of a Flying Circus kind of guy, I guess. I think I liked the limited-budget free-wheeling style on television more than their somehow constrained film storylines...

    OFF-TOPIC: Help! I need the Cowboy who Rides an Ostrich!

    Hey gang, This isn't Muppet merchandise, but I have exhausted all my other options, so I thought I'd see if anyone here could help me out. In addition to the Muppets, I am also a huge fan of the classic Rankin-Bass "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and have been collecting the action figures...

    90's style guide sold on ebay

    It's entirely possible that an individual in the Disney organization might seek out a reference for their personal perusal instead of digging through their labyrinthine archives. I've had some dealings with folks in the Disney organization, including a chance to interview three of the...

    R.I.P. Barbara Billingsley

    I got my wife a set of Muppet Babies colorforms for Christmas, she loved that show when her daughter was a kid. She made a comment yesterday about watching a clip on YouTube made her feel like a kid again... I pointed out that it only took her back to when she was 25, not a kid, and she said...

    Driving exams

    Oh yeah! I had two different instructors for my total of four tests. They all sounded so bored and monotone all the time... "SomewherealongthisroadIwillaskyoutomakeasuddenstop.Suddenstop." So it was extremely gratifying, on the day that I actually passed the test, to hear one of them react...

    How is Jerry Nelson doing?

    Jerry, I don't know how I've missed this thread, so I'm a bit amazed at the moment. I just want to say that your talent has had a huge impact on my life. I was about six when the Muppet Show aired, so I saw these shows at a very formative time. Somewhere along the way, I realized that I...

    Driving exams

    I was terrified to drive. I never could figure out why. Maybe it was the wreck that I was in at age three, when my Mom let my eleven-year-old sister drive. (My Mom drove pace cars at races when she was 14, so I was definitely the exception to the family 'drive early' tendency.) Or maybe it was...

    Does anyone have the Muppet Babies Colorforms?

    I finally got one of these sets, complete, at a price I could live with. It was supposed to be a Christmas present for my wife, but it didn't arrive in time. Postman brought it today. It's the earlier 1985 version, but now that I've seen it in person, I don't really mind. So I scanned the...

    What scale are your "guest stars?"

    Actually, all my threads here are sort of the 'showroom' version. You can find far more pictures and info in two of my threads on the Rebelscum forums, entitled Muppet Customs and Muppet Dioramas. My username there is New_Bornalex. But to save you the search, here are some highlights on the...
