Aww! So in love with those clips. Whoever came up with this concept is a genius. For longtime fans, the famous clips of kids interacting with characters on "the wall" back on Sesame Street's classic era(usually Kermit or Cookie) were some of the most memorable and touching moments in all of...

I want to use words like grain of salt or boy who cried wolf; but deep down you kind of want to believe oh this time...this time it's going to really really happen. Like when in 1998 Muppet Central posted an article in Variety about JHC doing a Dark Crystal prequel. Still puzzling why JHC...

Haha...yes. Though seriously why wasn't this a Marvel film? Uh, Big Hero 6 is a Marvel comic series but nowhere in the marketing or film do you see the Marvel logo. Cool film though

Let's be honest. Forget TMS 4-5. What are the literal chances a new Muppet tv series on tv will happen in the next few years? Or that broadway play we keep hearing about? Or a broad new action figure line? I feel like Disney didn't like the BO for MMW, and it stopped everything in the tracks...

Dude, is there any Funk license or IP they CAN'T get? Heck, finally we'll get a Snuffy action figure kind of sort of oddly in scale. Tho whats up with the black eyes on every Funko figure? hehe. Whats your take on the Re-Action figures? Im super stoked for the Seinfeld figures coming out soon...

Hey, don't be negative! :) I wish Jazzwares had done more Sonic 4" line figures, but as much as they overbit with so many licenses(Nicktoons, tho sadly no Rocko toys were made) I think they delivered pretty well. I dug most the Regular Show and Adv Time figures. Wish they had gotten a Gravity...

1. Everybody is still spending like crazy. Gamestop is always packed at most the locations near me(and physical media by now is kind of a scam anyways for newer games) The massive port shut down not withstanding, toy shelves at all the major retailers have to continually be restocked for...

If you look at the Wreck It Ralph dvd and other Disney dvd releases of the past few years many of them bare a sticker that warns "for a better deal, and special features buy the blu ray version". And then you notice Wreck It Ralph dvd is $20 with zero extras while the blu ray version is much...

Big Hero 6 in just a few months got more merchandise than we'll ever see with the Muppets again. So many figures, plushes, etc. Which is cool, I loved Big Hero 6 but don't see it being a franchise. And rather would have seen more Up merchandise. But alas. Also weird Big Hero 6 IS A MARVEL COMIC...

Also, seriously I still don't get why Disney completely abandoned Bear once they bought them completely. BITBBH was already a co production with Disney, on the Disney channel. I can't think of a single Muppet/Henson related kid's puppet show since Bear that actually worked on multiple levels and...

As much as it's easy to bag on JHC(grain of salt/boy who cried wolf pretty much applies to anything they've announced in the last decade plus when it comes to movies), it took Disney forever to do anything significant with the Muppets. And that was virtually only due to mega fan Jason Segal and...

Also that's a good point, regarding demanding TMS and other shows on itunes or other digital formats. By the time Season 4 or 5 come out, IF they ever come out, will physical media even be sold? Forget dvds, will there still be blu rays? Also I wouldn't consider Diamond Direct lifting from the...

If it was up Disney, virtually everything at the Disney store would be Frozen

Oh nice it's online. I always love seeing Sesame characters pop up in non Sesame productions.

Just saw the hilarious spoof of "Birdman" featuring Carroll and Big Bird, and now I just watched the newest episode of Portlandia and Oscar the Grouch is in one of the skits, as himself. Totally out of the blue.

I apologize, the question shouldn't be "Does Disney hate releasing Muppet dvds", but...going by this year's Toy Fair coverage and previous years retail seasons the question should be "Does Disney just hate Muppet merchandise in general?" Oof. Oh to take a time machine back to 1979-1989 or...

Pretty sure most people got sick of waiting for Season 4 and 5 and downloaded the torrents. Disney shot themselves in the foot. Unless it's been proven, as I've surmised that true Muppet collectors are very small and niche, no reason why Disney would have no reason to release more than they...

I for one in retrospect love Muppets Tonight. I'd buy a complete box set tomorrow. I don't see why Disney couldn't have let Lionsgate release the Muppet Television portion of the Jim Henson Hour 1989 season since Lionsgate already released everything else from the show. Really bummed that, MT...

Yeah that is weird how Funko has literally tapped every franchise under the sun, including rather obscure ones...but there's no Fraggle Rock. Strangely, one of my least favorite stores(Spencers) carried a number of Fraggle Rock wearables even as of a few years ago. I did tend to prefer though...

I agree with you...some might make the comparison to Looney Tunes, though LT doesn't have much in the way of newer shorts or projects. It's probably for the best Sesame completely detached to it's own thing, as already we see so many Sesame products/shirts/etc sold for both teens and adults as...
