    Dr Teeth Wizard World Exclusive

    I'm mildly interested in owning one, but I wouldn't pay more than about $50. I custom-painted a regular Dr. Teeth to match detailed photos of a real WW variant, so I don't have as strong a desire for it as some might. Everybody else sound off! Alex

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    That's nice, I have listened to it but haven't purchased it yet. I do love the video that the Muppets did with OK Go, it's like a match made in heaven. *** But I feel a need to address something... don't you think these sort of off-topic posts belong in a different section of these forums...

    OK Go and The Muppets Music Video: The Muppet Show Theme

    Big smile on my face. I just watched it twice in a row. Not a lot to add, other than my two favorite scenes were the treadmill gag (reminds me of the Nobody's Watching parody) and the Muppets puppeteering legless humans. The arm rods should have been a dead giveaway, but when they did the...

    Sorry I haven't had anything Muppet-related to post lately. Here's a little consolation prize... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im_9z9MXGpM My recent phoner with TRON himself, Bruce Boxleitner! Alex

    OK Go and The Muppets Music Video debuts August 23

    Neat! I've always enjoyed their videos.

    A report of the first clip released from "The Muppets"

    Sounds like it hits just the right notes... heart, comedy, self-reference. Yep, that's the successful Muppet formula at work!

    D23 Expo 2011 Schedule

    A friend who is going sent me the PDF of the schedule of events, and Jim Henson will be among 12 new "Disney Legends" inducted this year. Wish I hadn't misplaced that link. Alex

    Spring Forward: A Dinosaurs' Tale

    Reading this for the first time today, and as soon as I saw the parenthetical note about Law and Order: SVU, I realized the connection. Nice one! Alex

    Custom figures and dioramas

    So, has anyone seen Robot Chicken Star Wars Episode III? I bought it the other day and was watching it last night, and I kept spotting Palisades Muppet Show accessories. When Palpatine is looking at the damage to his face after Mace Windu deflected his Force lightning onto him, he's using Miss...

    A New Technique for Shooting the Legs of a Puppet

    The finished shot looks really good, as far as the movement goes. It's a fairly believable walk cycle. Might could use a tiny smidge more heel-toe roll per step. There's something about the gravity of it, though, that seems a bit floaty. I wonder if there is some way to support the hips on a...

    Yorick would be simple, true... but he'd open the floodgates to my completist drive to make all of the other Sam & Friends characters. Plus, I never saw any S&F footage until I was an adult, so it lacks the emotional impact on me that The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock all have...

    Just want your opinion, should I open my Palisades Muppets collection?

    No problem! I'll be happy to look at them whenever they arrive. I don't have that other broken Janice in hand yet anyway, but hopefully that package will arrive within the next two or three weeks. Alex

    Dearth/Alex's Customs and Dioramas v2

    So, some more memories of our trip... we took the guided tour of the three Henson exhibits at 2pm, since it was only $2 extra per person. We were in the "Jim Henson: Puppeteer" room when the fire alarm went off and they had to evacuate the building. I was about to say, "Um, if this building is...

    Awesome, thanks! You're a real font of knowledge! Glad you're checking out this thread to help me. Now, you want to hear what's weird? I was just looking for a concept sketch of Bugsy from Dog City, so I typed in "concept sketch Bugsy Them Henson" on Google, and one of the hits was... the group...

    Good eye! It's even on a bluish background. But alas, it is cropped so that Convincing John and Waldorf are completely missing. It drives me batty sometimes how differently the pictures get sliced. One has more at the top, one has more on the right, and yet neither are the same color...

    Well, hours later I am still scouring the net for images and info about the exhibits I saw, for our family scrapbook. According to the MuppetWiki, they sang this on a Perry Como TV special. On the video at the museum, it had a smash cut to Dick Cavett talking to Jim, Frank, and Jerry while...

    Customizing is not for the squeamish or sentimental! You must see beyond what is, into what WILL BE, and bring it to life by a force of sheer willpower! (laughing maniacally a la Dr. Frankenstein) *** Funny anecdote about my trip to Atlanta... We started out from northern Alabama, and after...

    Back home! (photo by Yours Truly, taken today!) We got to see a lot of cool Muppets and related critters. No photos were allowed inside, so here's a quick text rundown with a few images I found online... From Dark Crystal, they have the Garthim-Master/General Skeksis, complete with his...
