    Dusting off my Fisher-Price Little People Sesame Street sets

    So I hauled out my two Sesame Street playsets from the 70's just now, and I was surprised at just how complete I'd managed to keep them. In fact, the only pieces I ever lost were when my parents moved to a new house around 1976: Cookie Monster and Grover. (I also lost a Child Guidance Grover...

    The Mr. Potato Head Thread

    I've got all of the Star Wars MPH's. Even the variant of Darth Tater with the chestplate, and all those which were exclusive to the Disney Parks. I've got several others from over the years, too. Ever since I became a dad, seems like we've always bought MPH. Dearth

    The usage of Link Hogthrob in the 1980's

    I have NEVER heard of this one. I wonder if anyone has made the footage available online or burned it to a disc? I'd love to see it. Dearth

    Muppet bargains on Amazon/eBay/ect. Thread

    This isn't an online bargain, but a friend of mine in CA told me about a clearance item at his Target, and sure enough it's on clearance here in AL too, so that seems fairly nationwide. The Fisher-Price "123 Sesame Street" playset is currently half-off. Was $34.99, now $17.48. Dearth

    Muppets Revisited

    Yeah, I just heard about it last week... was looking forward to the OK GO cover of the TMS theme. Dearth

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Hey figmental, Wow, your very first post was in my thread? I'm honored! Love your avatar. And is the name 'figmental' a reference to Figment from EPCOT? I only recently learned that Dave Goelz took over the voice for Figment after Billy Barty died. Glad you like my efforts here. Someone...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    The 'WWE Dr. Teeth' recreation is something that I've been tinkering on in between progress on a couple of commissions... I noticed how close I was to having him complete, so I went ahead and finished him off...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Another good illustration of why a customizer should never pay inflated prices for something that is essentially just a re-deco of an easily available sculpt...

    Hoggle in a David Bowie video!

    Those were cool, thanks for alerting me. I've got that CD, but never thought to look for music videos from it. Dearth

    Custom figures and dioramas

    No customs today... I'm working on several, but they're not completed yet. But I did want to toot my own horn, if I may. I was over at ToughPigs.com and checked the winners of their caption contest, and I am happy to announce that I was the winner on Photo #3 and a runner-up on Photo #2...

    Elusive 1965 Ideal Kermit Puppet on eBay

    I only very recently learned of the existence of the Ideal puppets... when I saw the commercial playing at the Jim Henson's Fantastic World traveling Smithsonian exhibition, in fact. I don't care too much for Kermit's red torso, and the Rowlf pales in comparison to the Fisher-Price version...

    Swedish Chef Hat Needed!

    UPDATE... It was a regular Chef apron that had the black smear on it. I do have a spare Chef hat, but it's the Culinary Catastrophe hat, with the smudges painted on the front. Dearth

    Swedish Chef Hat Needed!

    I *think* I have one left over from a custom... I'm not 100% sure though. Seems like I remember having one that had gotten a smear of black paint on it, and when I decided to customize a different Chef, I gave his good hat to the one with the messed-up hat... so what did I do with the...

    Custom figures and dioramas

    Another correct answer on the first try! (Although not quite as impressive as GelflingGirl's two-minute turnaround on the Tony Randall question!) Yes, this is from the Cloris Leachman episode, when the pigs take over the Muppet Show. Here's another shot that shows what might have been...

    The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss

    I had to click on this thread when I saw the title... My kids dug their Wubbulous DVD's out of the cabinet yesterday, and have been watching them for two days. So, the Wubbulous World is playing on the TV behind me right now. Dearth

    Heh heh... the photo you linked, from EndorExpress.net, was taken by yours truly. Dearth

    I want your broken figures!

    Ooh! I just thought of a really cool custom, and I've already got the body and the hat on hand... Nobody's got JUST THE HEAD of a Link Hogthrob figure, by any chance? Dearth

    The Fuzz Brothers: are they upside down or are we?

    I noticed a typo at the Muppet Wiki that was really bothering me, so I created an account and edited it... while I was in there, I altered the Fuzz Brothers entry so it no longer says they were upside down. Dearth
