    Redesigned Muppets for "The Muppets" movie

    From watching the Trailer for new movie (which I just think is AMAZING!!) It's only really Animal that stands out to me as not looking right, and I know he's looked that way for a while now, but why is it so hard to make him look like how he used to ? Much more hair, much more..Animal like...he...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Hey Gonzo's Hobbit, thanks for the welcome :) Great to be here :) The Jim Henson tribute is certainly an emotional watch, but it's done so brilliantly, I think it's a must see, it certainly breaks the 4th wall in places in one of the funniest scenes where the Muppets look below them, hope i've...

    Bein Green vs. Rainbow Connection

    My vote predictably goes to...BEIN' GREEN! In my opinion it's THE signature tune of the Muppets, next to the Muppet Show theme (closely followed by Mahna mahna?!:)) and it captures the innocence and the spirit of both the Muppets and Jim Henson with a beautifully understated and emotional...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    Without a doubt, the Jim Henson Tribute, when Fozzy's reading the fan letter and says 'i'm sorry to hear your friend Jim Henson died'..gets me every time!! As for in the movies, possibly Muppet Christmas carol, Kermit coming back from Tiny Tims grave, but the Muppets have a way of bringing out...

    Genuine Muppet Performers Autographs Set including Jim Henson

    Also, MuppetDanny, I think you may have just answered the question for me regarding the history of these autographs , the seller said they were sold at an auction in Blackpool, so more than likely collected at the Illuminations ? I don't know too much about this event, I'll have to look it up ...

    Genuine Muppet Performers Autographs Set including Jim Henson

    Wow MuppetDanny, that is awesome, quite a collection, and very cool 'frogtownhollow' (man, that's a mouthful, are we allowed to use first names round here, is that not the done thing, I really don't know, sorry) :) It's so nice to hear stories of where fans have written to their idols and...

    Genuine Muppet Performers Autographs Set including Jim Henson

    Hey GonzoLover85, I wouldn't like to say , because I feel way too Lucky getting them for the price I paid , they weren't listed too well and didn't say 'autograph' in the listing and only mentioned Jim, I guess the seller didnt realize how special these would be to a fan, as a whole set. But I...

    Genuine Muppet Performers Autographs Set including Jim Henson

    Hi Everyone , I'm still relatively new to the board, having only posted a few times, but I'm a frequent visitor and check in as often as possible being a huge fan. I had to share these with you, because they may just be the BEST thing i've ever bought from Ebay if not from anywhere...period...

    Hey , here's a few pics I took last night, I'm a lil stretched for space in my room so they're not exactly displayed the way i'd like but no way am I leaving them in their boxes, i'll just have to share my little room with them for now :) Just hope i've moved out by the time fozzie arrives...

    Hey Chris, I'm sorry to hear you're being messed around so much by Parcelforce, I know how frustrating it is when you know something's so close but it feels so far. As MisterSuperstar said, he's definitely worth the wait! I lost a Kermit replica to Parcelforce, it arrived from America, to...

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    Hi Lab Rat, That's really kind of you to offer to send them out in the post, I may take you up on that if that's ok. Is it at all possible to carefully remove the existing pupils, leaving them intact to re-place? I think I read somewhere on here that they fall apart if you try to peel them...

    Your Gonzo Replica Pictures

    I'm with you totally that Gonzo is my 3rd favourite Muppet of the 3, Rowlf is my favourite, but I think I might have a wait on my hands for him. I was prepared to change the placement of Gonzo's eyes so I bought a roll of 'self-adhesive velour' it's the closest I could get to flocked paper...

    Hi Chris, thanks for the tips on the pupil placement, i'll check out the review again. You don't think there's a chance your weirdo might turn up tomorrow? But as you say it'll certainly brighten up those monday morning blues :) Hey Ant, you're display looks awesome! I keep looking at pics of...

    Also, on another note, I'm still not completely happy with Animals nose, does anyone know where I might be able to find a slightly larger nose for him ? I've tried clown noses on ebay and fabric stores, apart from that I wouldn't know where to look? Many thanks Mark

    Ok, here's a few piccies , they're taken on my phone so quality isn't amazing, i'll spend abit more time posing then take some more :) He's # 314 , When you first open the box and see him lying there's its actually pretty creepy, similar to Kermit was, like a muppet in a coffin? I'm looking...

    Well today is GONZO DAY for a few fortunate Muppet fans from the UK , as after months of waiting he should be arriving at the doors at any moment, so HAPPY GONZO DAY everybody, should this be a holiday ? Mine arrived this morning at 11, delivered by UPS & I was grinning like a cheshire cat, or...

    Just recieved a call from TCZ to let me know Gonzo's in stock and should be with me tomoro , yaaay :) I think that's really good of them to call everyone that ordered him to keep them updated. That's definitely swayed me to place a pre-order for Fozzie as well. Should be quite a few UK fans...

    Fozzie PRE ORDER at TCZ

    Thanks for the heads up Ant, i'll definitely be ordering with TCZ , they seem pretty competitive with the price, & I would hope it stays at £219, once you place an order , they can't really change the price can they? Tho I see they say ** Prices are subject to availability and may change **...

    Fozzie up for PRE-ORDER @ Forbidden Planet

    Yeah price is fairly reasonable seeing as he's one of the larger Muppets, probably worth waiting a while to see if TCZ are gonna be any cheaper. I've bought alot of items from FP & always been very satisfied with them, like the Collector Zone, there's often a certain amount of waiting involved...
