    Questions about Region-Free DVD Players

    Which DVD player model do you have ? There may be a code to make it region free without you having to buy another player. I have a player that I made region free and personally, I haven't noticed any major differences between running region one and two discs. I would guess in America you just...

    Henson closes NY office

    Phil is right - they are planning to strip the place before they move out - murals and all. I guess most of the stuff will go into the Henson Archive with some being displayed at the Chaplin studios. The Henson's have saved everything they can right back from Jim's early days so they aren't...

    vBulletin 3.0: New Style Set

    Well it completely crashed my browser first time (Javascript errors) but it seems ok now although the error is still there. Overall I like it - nicer colours and a more spacious feeling.

    Sideshow/Weta "bust"-ing Their Butts

    wow - invoicing stores for two waves without warning is pretty terrible. Must put quite a dent in the budget for the smaller guys.

    There have been pics of Naked Rowlf, Naked Sam, Marvin Suggs, Dr Phil. Some painted, some not. You need to search through the 'Daily Bits' at the Palisades website (www.palisadestoys.com - whats new section)

    Henson closes NY office

    Actually some companies don't like doing that, there is usually some money available but the owners usually end up getting less than full price for the real estate. Not saying what Henson will or won't do. As to whether this is true or not, I heard who the source for this was and they are...

    I have fame and international recognition!

    Yup, puppets and full body costume characters are chick magnets. Congrats!

    Henson talking to Disney and Viacom for potential partnership deals

    Rumor was a while back that Rhino were considering other CD releases.

    Henson closes NY office

    Nothing visually happened, majority of the management were made redundant and most of their creative work (shows and ideas) were in jepoardy of being dumped. Obviously they all went freelance or formed their own offshoot companies though and it could still work out so um yeah .... nothing...

    When does the Very Muppet Christmas DVD come out?

    I think you are pretty safe in assuming that considering the years nearly over. 2004 looks good though, it may top this.

    Toyfare Magazine looking for PEPE

    As far as I know, they aren't out yet. Try asking Palisades for one.

    Henson closes NY office

    It was rumored just after the close of the UK offices a while back this might happen (either Chaplin or NY) and I guess its more cost effective for them to keep Chaplin. Yes, it's a massive shame due to the history of the place but it does help with streamlining and means the Henson Co would...

    It's Official: Series 9 & 10 Announced!

    I agree to an extent, although if they are going to bring in new characters this time the writing and creativity has gotta be good. Only like 2 or 3 characters have really stayed as part of the main Muppet gang from Muppets Tonight and I think they strayed a little too far from the usual Muppet...

    It's Official: Series 9 & 10 Announced!

    I think the problem is that when we say they are trying to make something to please everybody some people are misinterpreting "everybody" to mean all different types of Muppet fans. This is not the case, the figures sell to three groups of people :- - Hardcore Muppet Fans :- Who know the...

    It's Official: Series 9 & 10 Announced!

    Yeah I can see limiting GOSA as a good move. You don't make so many that you are left with unsold ones and doing a smaller run should help create a bit of a WW Dr Teeth situation making what is made more desirable and sell it out. Those crazy kids at Palisades sure know their game.

    Never let it be said that Henson don't make their fans work for the merchandise eh ? LOL !

    The Bronx Bunny Show - Adults

    Did anyone else in the UK see this new puppet show that debuted tonight on 'E4' ? It was called "The Bronx Bunny Show" and I have to say FANTASTIC ! It's a spoof of an American cable access TV talk show featuring these two really rude puppets. They supposedly host this show on Channel 69 in...

    Let's start speculating about the 2005 line up

    FYI, Ken has said they CAN do stuff from VMMX and JHH for that matter. They can get clearance, they do not need a new license. That doesn't mean to say they are definitely making them though.
