    A silly/practical question about the characters still appearing

    I do get it that the original performers are no longer there, but they do have strong replacements. And I also understand they want to use the characters originated by the current crop of puppeteer performers. So I would like a list as complete as a list could be, but also characters like the...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I am not sure if this comment is laughing with me or at me. Probably with there really are very few snarky folks about here, but I can share why she is my avatar. And I apologize for the indulgence - and repeat to Blue Frackle you were probably on the same page as me. I watched the original...

    A silly/practical question about the characters still appearing

    Hi folks - I have seen some clips online and based on chat know a bit, but I am curious which Muppet characters are still in the core group to appear on the show? Also which ones are infrequent here and there characters? And are there any (an emphasis on classic characters) who make cameos...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Hey there Muppet Central Folk - I just ordered MWoO's Chef ornament from his shop. (I don't know if Muppet Central frowns on self promotion, but it is not my ornament). It looks great. And even if you have the Palisades Chef or are ordering the Diamond one (which you should consider) this is...

    Muppet Villains: A Case Study

    I know this thread is more about the characters, but I think it a big asset to Doc Hopper and Rachel and Nicky that they are all played by amazing actors, who though they excel in comedy can also do drama very well. I had the pleasure to see Charles Durning twice on stage once in the Gin Game...

    Hey MWoO - I sent you a note at Etsy with a few questions about the Chef ornament.

    Old characters you'd wish would return to the Muppets

    Some of the Atrics (I believe) have been rebuilt and used as background old lady characters - granted they're not rocking out as they used to. I think Doglion was in the London live show in the opening theme song. Someone who saw it can correct me if I am wrong. I think there is little chance...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    The wedding ring has been around for a bit. I have a vague memory of someone saying it was Bill Baretta's idea, or Bill's hands were used and he had the ring on. So, I don't know if whomever performs the hands when Bill has the puppet is also married, or they put it on as an accessory. The...

    I think Jim Lewis, Kirk Thatcher and Joey Mazzarino will get several votes here. I am curious to see if there is someone outside of the usual suspects. Especially if it is a person who gets a few votes from different posters.

    oops. Your link in the other thread is correct. Come on everyone take a look at this one - not Steohen A. Smith (no offense). https://uproxx.com/tv/frank-oz-disney-muppets/

    Ummm. Unless your choice was to have Stephen A.Smith write things the Muppets can yell (a choice for sure) maybe your link is awry?

    Well, I agree with your idea and would like Jerry Juhl to be in the mix as well, but since they have both passed....is there someone you would be excited/interested in being involved?

    The Muppets are as good as the corny lines that they say. A few posts recently state that certain iterations or performances were below par. I think what is lacking is the strong spine of a writer to bring these characters to life. Who do you think (sky is the limit) might be the next best...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    They don't pay me enough! ;-) A big long solid wall of typing. That's what folks like when checking in to a site.

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I hope they do get made a. I am sure they would be great and b. it completes the band. And a little bit of PR- MWoO (what a name!) has a beautiful Fozzie figure for sale and it seems they are working on a few more. So, if these main lines of figures end it still may be possible to fill your...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    You are very kind with your comment. Looking at my post you would think I receive some sort of cash payment from the parenthesis corporation. There are about two dozen in the one post. Yes, DC is another area where a live show would make sense, have history and draw a crowd. I was trying...

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    I'd like to add a thought or two to the popularity question. I apologize if this has been mentioned in previous posts. Back in the mid 1970's when The Muppet Show premiered the Muppets had already been on TV about 20 years. TV commercials; The Jimmy Dean Show; The Ed Sullivan Show; TV...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    My post/list is very definitely in the realm of "Wouldn't it be great if..." Posters like yourself and others who have more knowledge of the action figure world clearly have a better grasp or guess on what will happen. I do think there is a small chance of Dr. Teeth and Zoot seeing the light...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    I hope they have enough success with the Chef to continue the line at least through Dr. Teeth and Zoot, so the Electric Mayhem can be complete (well Lips would be missing). But if I could wave a wand and have the line continue to a more complete collection I would have Dr. Teeth and Zoot and...
