    Is this a Henson Creature Shop puppet on eBay?

    I don't recognize this character nor does he have The Jim Henson Company style. The seller says that he was used in a project that was never fully completed as well as some live performances. Just curious if this is a true character from possibly a Henson Alternative production or if it's a...

    What is the oldest Muppet being used in the background

    I was just curious since there has been a long history within the huge cast of background Monsters, Frackles, and Koosebanians. Looking back at Muppets Tonight, sometimes they used Muppets that dated back as old as The Muppet Show days. So I was just curious which Muppet is the oldest one still...

    Muppets Tonight pilot

    I'm just curious what the pilot was like. Was it like a slightly different version of the Michelle Pfeiffer episode? Kind of like The Muppet Show after the 2 pilots, I've read there was 2 or 3 different versions of the Juliet Prowse episode. Is there a pilot for Muppets Tonight? The reason why I...

    Who's performing Cookie Monster in the song "Food"

    I was listening to Muppet Central Radio and this Cookie Monster song came up called "Food" and it was said it came from the 2000s. I know it's not Frank, and it doesn't even sound like David Rudman's Cookie. Anyone know?

    Fraggle Rock Complete Series DVD box set questions

    I have the first three box sets and I'm planning on getting the final series. But I want to get the complete set too.

    Muppet Stuff and The Muppet Music Catalogs

    I had some questions regarding The Muppet Stuff shop and The Muppet Music Catalogs. In the documentary Henson's Place, there used to be a Muppet store called Muppet Stuff, and when I went to Disney world in 1996, the shop that sold Muppet Vision 3D Merchandise had that very logo "Muppet Stuff"...

    http://www.bertanderniespreschool.com/index.html I was looking up the Ernie and Bert Playskool dolls and the first result in the search engine. This site.

    Muppet Workshop and Office Buildings

    I was just curious, how many square feet were the original Muppet workshops and Office Buildings. I remember that the first Muppet workshop was Jim's basement until 1963. I remember seeing something in the Latroy Dragon Meeting Film where the workshop was crowded. Knowing that was a gag, I...

    Puppet Class on SNL

    http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/puppet-class/n27673/ Did PuppetHeap or The Jim Henson Company build these puppets? They look a little too close to the Muppet style in my opinion. Personally I felt this sketch was terrible and a unclearly written mockery towards the art of puppetry...

    Honkers based on Harpo Marx

    I was just curious if The Honkers were modeled after Harpo Marx of The Marx Brothers. Similarities are basically they never speak and they use honk noises to communicate.

    Stuff I noticed in Follow That Bird

    I'm watching my DVD and I noticed a few interesting things. One of them being that any character that's a background character or a stock character, they are voiced by a voice actor and not a Muppeteer. Unless they are voices of Fraggle Rock Muppeteers that I don't know of (since they filmed the...

The only time I was ever close to these replicas is when I seen them at a local...
