    Qe2?

    Nah, that's pretty cheap for a cruise from the UK, people go on them all the time and these kind of event things are very popular - anyone would have been able to go. Maybe it even was advertised but only in brochures for this kind of thing - the chances of some of us in the MC community by...

    Qe2?

    Depends how long it was arranged, but really it wasn't upto Henson to say anything. The cruise company just booked the Muppeteers for a private appearance for their passengers. It wasn't a promotional event so there would be no point in their PR people making a big deal about it, the blame is...

    MuppetFest 2?

    Nobody will have em, you'd have to email the cruise organisers and see if they have any press pics. I really doubt they had all those puppets there though, probably just one or two each performer.

    New Muppet Babies Stuff

    I doubt that, i think it's too late in the day, the bubble for the teen nostalgia thing will burst very soon. If they were gonna make this move they should have done it ages ago. I can't see the kids taking to it either unless they re-do the cartoon and gear it more towards todays youth. I...

    The Unabashed Worst Muppet Merchandise Ever

    I'm ok with girls having sexy studs and little bits of jewellery in their belly buttons, not a big fan of body jewellery elsewhere though. It's just easy money in the bank for Henson and they need it pretty bad so thats kinda the way i see it.

    How annoying is it...

    that people, especially new people, (although we love em so) come to the forum and just post their messages about Henson news or whatever, in like multiple different categories, yet they haven't bothered to look around the forum and find we've been discussing the same topic in a thread titled in...

    The Legend that is Pepe

    It's a 'Vacation Pepe' figure - he comes with snorkel, trunk, fabric shorts and other stuff and should be available in two color styles. You'll be able to purchase one type through Toyfare magazine and their website. The other paint scheme should be available at a specific retail store but...

    Figures broken in packaging

    Too late really to do anything about Zoot, that series has been and gone, unless of course they still have him at the retailer where you bought your figures. Link could do with being replaced though - you need to go back to your retailer and ask for an exchange or refund. If you run into...

    The Unabashed Worst Muppet Merchandise Ever

    Whats wrong with that ? You do realise that the Henson Company would have probably recieved tens of thousands of dollars by selling that license ? Thats what helps pay for Muppetfest and Puppet Builders and other stuff like that !

    Talking Hoobs

    Try 'Toystack' if you have a branch near you, they are owned by Hamleys and had some new ones the last time i looked. I remember that Boots were selling them but i think they've stopped now.

    An old PSA, but help identifying it, please

    It was called "Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue" and was a one-off project. You can probably do a search for it on the web !

    Henson showcases new products at Licensing Show 2003

    LOL - Was it the entire licensing department ? Oh right, they are gonna look externally then i guess. Well, i guess if the people who created and planned this new surge for the Muppet Babies won't actually be around to develop and control it it's not exactly going to help matters. Lets hope...

    Henson showcases new products at Licensing Show 2003

    Thats not how it's going to be apparently, the main push is going to be the younger crowd for a year, and then they'll gradually push to the nostalgia crowd as well at the end of the first, and in the second year. In the first year it'll be all kiddified adverts, and pre-school type toys and...

    So do you think Muppet Babies will ever get a DVD release?

    They will never ever ever release the whole series on DVD, especially not in 25 episode sets. There is some interest, but there would never be enough interest to do something on that scale - this is why they are aiming the new stuff at little kids and the nostalgic crowd at the same time. It's...

    So do you think Muppet Babies will ever get a DVD release?

    The main thing will be video tapes, you'll get one with each of the plush range aimed at pre-schoolers like with Care Bears. Not sure if this will still be the case when they release the merchandise at the nostalgic crowd. I would guess that something will make it to DVD as Jamie says...

    Professional Penguin Hand Puppet on ebay, Terry Angus

    I'm not single - my girlfriend just has a no touching, no speaking, no sign language policy ! (not sure about the Penguin either - he might be making eyes at one of Terry's other puppets as we speak !) :eek:

    Professional Penguin Hand Puppet on ebay, Terry Angus

    I'm really wishing i had a few hundred dollars to spend on this - someday i will and "Luke 2" will be a reality. I can just imagine it now if i had him - we could sit by the pool together in our speedos, shades perched on our sweaty foreheads admiring the bikini clad babes as they walked by -...

    Cutbacks at Henson NY

    If the Henson Company wouldn't have been bought back by the kids then there was a real risk of EMTV not being able to stay afloat much longer and it's very probable that Henson could have gone down with EMTV, or if not that, ended up split up or sold off cheap to a company who didn't have their...

    What are your favorite cartoons?

    Congrats, you know there is a DVD out in the UK, it's down to like a few dollars now. You'd need a multi-region DVD player but you could get the disc from www.play.com i think. I've always been a big Duckula fan !
