    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I'll preface this by saying that everyone is entitled to set the maximum price that they're willing to pay for a Muppet replica (or for anything for that matter.) I'm not judging anyone, but collectibles are expensive. eFX is asking $800 for that Snow White heart box. At $400, Rizzo would be...

    Favorite Non-Henson Puppets and Puppeteers

    Clyde Adler and Frank Nastasi on "The Soupy Sales Show". :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I doubt there will be another prototype... unless you're talking about the ones from China, in which case, yeah, there will be at least one and possibly more. Also, it's now Saturday here and I still haven't gotten the newsletter. :p

    Life is a Pic-a-nic: Yogi Bear's Guide to Happiness

    I just found out that it's already up for pre-order at Amazon. Here is a link: Life is a Pic-a-nic: Yogi Bear's Guide to Happiness :p

    Life is a Pic-a-nic: Yogi Bear's Guide to Happiness

    Hi All, This is a shameless plug for the new book I am writing... or rather, Yogi is writing. I'm just helping him with it. It's going to be very funny, even if I do say so myself. It will be out later this year, but pre-orders should be appearing soon. It will be a fairly inexpensive...

    Isn't an "illeagle" a sick bird? :p

    Disney Job Update

    I auditioned for them a few years ago, but didn't make the cut. They said I was welcome to try again the next time they held them. Seriously, I think they think I'm too old. It is a pretty strenuous show (Playhouse Disney) and you have to do like 5 a day. I think I could have handled it, but...

    What would be your "Ultimate Poser?"

    Even Sesame Street didn't used to have anyplace to store him. Back in the 70's when they were at Reeves Teletape, they literally used to hang him from the rafters when he was not in use. :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Now, "Pigs in Space" Piggy would be a completely different story. That's a poser I would buy because that's an original character that she played for many years, much like Reporter Kermit. :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Exactly! If I didn't make it clear enough, this is precisely what I was trying to say. :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I was going to write something earlier, but thought twice. Then I read this and you capsulized my thoughts pretty much perfectly. I like the idea of Reporter Kermit and am still planning to buy him if he comes out, but personally, I have no interest in Star Wars Muppets or Star Wars Disney...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    In case anyone was wondering what happened to me (not that there's been any mention of it, so I'm just answering a question no has asked here), but Bryan specifically asked me at D23 not to leak any information. He said it's best if they control when things are reported. I also made a...

    'The Muppet Movie' to be preserved by Library of Congress

    I don't recall them ever smelling funky in the many encounters I've had with them. I don't actually know the answer, but I'm guessing they must use some kind of disinfectant spray inside of them. I know they do that with the Disney walk-around costumes, which probably get much more rank than...

    'The Muppet Movie' to be preserved by Library of Congress

    Well... um... you know... the arm parts that were inside Ernie. :p

    'The Muppet Movie' to be preserved by Library of Congress

    Yay! My arm is going to be in the Library of Congress! Or, at least, something my arm DID is going to be in the Library of Congress. :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Well, the alternative is they don't announce anything until the product is ready for preorder. Personally, I like knowing that it's in the works. I don't particularly care when as long as it's someday. :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I'll go you one better... but only because I'm older. I visited Disneyland in 1961 with my family and they had a store called the Art Corner where they had the same bins of cels that you talked about, only from older productions. I got a Donald Duck from "The Litterbug". My sister got a...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I know this is getting completely off-topic, but what Disney cels do you have? I have a pretty big collection. :p

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    I agree with you here. Rizzo is not even close to my favorite character, but the prototype is so beautiful that I really want one (provided the production models look as good). If Piggy gets made, I'll also have a hard time justifying buying her because she's not on my top ten list, either...
