    Animal's House Party coming to Disney's California Adventure

    Um... WinWillie, that thread is from 2004! They're not doing that show anymore, if they actually ever did it. I never saw it. MuppetVision 3D is still there... when it's open. :p

    Please help - MR Animal bad hair day!

    I turned him upside-down and used a blow dryer also, which worked well for me. Just be careful not to melt any glue, which shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't hold it too close to the top of his head. :p

    Everyone's seen it. Terry Angus posted lots of pics before he shipped him off to MR and there were many, many pictures of him at the 2007 Comic-Con International in San Diego. If you mean has anybody seen it lately, then no, all three have either been taken apart or disappeared. And if...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    I love the way you snuck Jim, Frank and Jerry's names in. I hope that doesn't get changed! Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have said anything and they won't notice! :p

    Replica #s?

    From what I could tell when people's Kermits were first coming in, the numbers seemed to be random. That is, I don't think they made any effort to send them out low numbers to high numbers, possibly because the numbers were packed in China and sealed inside the boxes. There was no way for MR...

    Yeah, a bank is the LAST place you'd want to rob. They don't have any money. It's all in people's mattresses. You'd be better off robbing a Sit'n Sleep... or your mattress is freeeeeeee... :p

    Fozzie fabric fur help.

    Hi Billy, This is as close as I've been able to find: Stringy Mongolian Scroll down the page about 2/3 of the way down and look for the "Stringy Mongolian". It only comes in white, so it will have to be died. It's a little longer than Fozzie, but this is the fur that Terry Angus used to...

    The Mysteries of Muppetry?

    Actually, Bert and Ernie are really big puppets compared to some of them. Here's a picture I've linked to before of me helping Bert recover from an evening of root beer and nuts. I'm a small guy, but look how big his head is compared to my hand. :p

    New Miss Piggy Dolls and Fashions by Robert Tonner

    There's an interesting disclaimer at the bottom of the page. I wish Master Replicas had used the same kind of language. :p

    Hi Nick, It's not as simple as just making another poser. First of all, they don't even have the plans for any others. Second, it would take a substantial investment to produce new prototypes for a different character, money that the current MR probably needs to use somewhere else. And...

    The Mysteries of Muppetry?

    Actually, Gonzo's arms are just one piece of fabric stuffed with fluff. I think Grover's arms are probably thicker than Gonzo's. Gonzo's are really, really skinny. :p

    The problem with just putting the project on the back burner is, from what I hear, Disney is not happy. When you get a license from them, you are obligated to produce a certain amount of product. You can't just get a license and then sit on it. In the long run, I have no idea what that...

    Congratulations, Dave! As you know, I had sent your stuff to Paul months and months ago, but then, things move very slow in this business... until it's your deadline. Then they need it yesterday! Your Pal, Was Once Ernie (aka Earl) :p

    I'm not usually a pessimist. I prefer to think of myself as a realist. Considering MR is now literally two people, I just don't see them being able to pull off a Fozzie at the price that most seem to want him. I'm sure the two people there have the best intentions and I don't fault them at...

    You can get cheap children's drumsticks at Toys R Us. They work really well and he can hold them with no problem. :p

    I'm not saying I would pay $3,000, but other full-size replicas go for much more than that. Check these out: Full Size Statues :p

    Ugly Henson and Muppet promo comic from Big Boy (1979)

    I like on the cover how Jim's right foot is just dangling over the water. And just how big is Big Boy? His head's like twice the size of Jim's. By the way, it's signed "Manny Stallman, AEA". Anyone know what "AEA" stands for? Maybe "Always Eat At (Big Boy)". Or "Anyone's Eventually (an)...

    Disney greenlights "The Muppet Show" comics

    Oh, man, does this bring back memories. Back when I was writing at Disney features, the artists and I would always go to Bob's Big Boy just to get the comics. We would literally (and I mean literally) laugh ourselves sick over the "art" of Manny Stallman. I'm no artist myself, but inept...

    Yes, that is correct. But what my friend was saying was that was not a very good business plan. He should have been sold for a lot more. I think, and I'm totally just guessing now, that they thought these would sell much faster than they did and they wouldn't be stuck storing so much...
