Well if you were to get a friend in the USA to buy it for you and send it over standard surface mail as a gift with no value then you'd probably get past the import tax etc, and what with the Pound/Dollar exchange rate being so CHEAP on the side of us UK'ers at the moment it would probably work...

I was talking about the trade Toyfair in the UK. It's a once yearly event held in January for trade and the press. Lots of the American toy companies come over to display stuff at the stands of their UK distributors. It's not the same as the UK Collectors Toyfairs that happen quite a lot in...

He was actually 82! depsite different reports. I am a big Munsters follower, and soooooo sad to hear about Al's death. He'd had a few very tough years!

I heard about the new Kermit (and next up ... Animal) replicas from Cards Inc, the UK distributors at the UK TOY FAIR. It's good to know now, that such a dedicated group of people are behind them. I wasn't too sure about the idea of this one at first. Nice to see Trav involved too!

So does anyone know if they mentioned the film? Great to see the ever lovely Karen and the hugely talented Dave both there representing da Fraggles !!!

I can take care of this one for you Terry, i think plenty of Doozers were maimed during filming!!! Ok if i may have the honor of asking your good self a question :- I expect you own or have seen the Fraggle Rock Season 1 DVD set. What are your opinions of it, and what would you like to...

It was reported that all projects in development aside from "Next Muppet" were cancelled. I think it might have been on Gelfingwaldo. I'm not sure what their source was.

It's a nice idea, but more merchandise. Is anyone else sensing a pattern here? It looks like Theme Parks, Merchandise and DVD's is what this sale to Disney is all about.

It was cancelled ... but there are some nice Kermit 50th merchandise items around.

Thanks for posting but more merchandise, ugh how predictable. That stuff should be there to promote the TV special, but we don't have one. It really stinks!

Yeah exactly, it was a poor project that Disney were commited to before they even bought the Muppets. It had all kinds of casting and scripting problems that made the end result truly awful. Sure some hardcore fans will dig anything "Muppet" but we aren't the only target audience and the...

Yeah this subject was raised in the Kermits 50th/Christmas Capers cancellation thread. They have been under the control of DCP right from the start so it does seem the main goal has been to sell merchandise. MHC are a subdivision of them so do seem to be able to pitch TV/Film productions but i...

Muppets In Japan might make a nice TV special sometime. Maybe have a plot where their movie bombed in the rest of the world, they're all depressed and then they work out the only place left to go and make it big is Japan - cue lots of wierd and wacky stuff, pilots for gameshows where wierd...

It's not about them cancelling just the Xmas show. It goes deeper than that - it's about them cancelling more or less everything because the new management see's the Muppet franchise differently, and the style of the people they now have in place. Them now being in charge, what they've done...

They are artists interpretations but copies of original copyrighted and trademarks and designs. Therefore it's copyright infringement to try to sell a "copy" of one of these puppets and not fine at all. Disney/Henson will usually stop these auctions. It is also against Muppet Central rules to...

Yeah, this is the thing. All the "Big Things" they have done have been merchandise related (other than From The Balcony). There have been a few publicity appearances but Henson would have done them anyway. The Muppet Holding Company is part of Disney Consumer Products, not any of the main...

It's not confirmed yet, it's just initial speculation - but that site do have some very good sources. It may be that it's just being looked at for DVD release.

I'm glad they are keeping "Next Muppet" in development. With the publicity of "Idol" i can see a lot of people digging that as a spoof and it being huge. I know it's not really what Muppet fans wanna see but it may be what they need to earn their stripes at Diz. I don't like the CEO change...

Hi Guys, Well it's Christmas Day already here in the UK and i just wanted to drop in and say Merry Christmas to you all. Everything is ready and prepared here at my house and i'm waiting for Santa! The food and drink is in the refridgerator (and much of it in the dog), i've watched a re-run of...

It could turn out ok, it could not. It's very worrying that the management changed from people who were Muppet friendly and had a lot of plans, believed in the brand to people who clearly just see them as a franchise they've been handed on the side and are sceptical about them actually being...
