    Is Muppets Going To Marvel Kids?

    Let's face it, the sudden inexplicable halt of Pixar and Muppet titles under the Boom imprint can only mean one thing: These hot properties are going to go under the Marvel Kids brand. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if we'll get an official press release before Wondercon in April. Not since...

    Why isn't Kevin Clash given other roles?

    It's no secret that Clash is a master puppeteer, performer and artisan. Anyone who has seen Clash with Elmo in person(be it Muppetfest, the various Henson/performing arts appearances, or random events) knows that he has an uncanny ability and craft. A recent interview with a Sesame muppeteer...

    Finally Saw the "UK Dvd" Cut of Muppet Family Christmas

    I finally got ahold of the PAL MFC European dvd release. It was nice to FINALLY see an unedited version of this; however...digging a little deeper it appears to NOT be "unedited", but missing a key scene with Fozzie and Ma Bear hanging stockings(as well as a brief scene with Rizzo and Elmo)...

    Doc Hogg and Ray plushes?

    I never knew there was a Doc Hogg and Ray plush made? http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101027042922/muppet/images/7/7a/McdonaldsCharactersPaper.jpg I'm guessing these are the only non Blue House inhabitant characters ever made into merchandise form? I always wished they had made toys...

    Theories why Bear came to an end

    Just curious if anyone had any theories as to why the Bear character/Noel Macneil, the characters and the whole franchise was terminated by Disney? Not only is the main show gone, as well as any other spinoffs, but even the character and merchandise itself is no more. From 1997 til the early...

    Is it ok for a character's style to evolve?

    We've all noticed how both structurally, personality wise and fashion wise many of the Muppets have changed their style over the decades. Yet, why is it ok for some too but for others to change...it'd be considered heresy? I've noticed some fans balk at the mere idea of the Electric Mayhem...

    Do You Know Muppet Fans In Real Life?

    I've opined about this ad naseum before, so forgive me...it just seems like running across or finding even casual Muppet fans offline(heck, even online) is a rather tough proposal. Sure, I always see people out and about wearing Kermit/Animal/Cookie Monster/Oscar/Sesame shirts or hats they sell...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Besides Drtooth on here, im guessing there's others on here who are baffled or irked by the state of the toy industry...and have some questions. 1. Prince points. Why is it that action figures have finally gone back to a 3 3/4" scale away from the 1997-2007 Mcfarlane size standard (except...

    My 3:-4" Figure Collection!

    Ive been loving seeing everyone's figure collections on here for the past few years...though I have noticed they are mostly all Palisades related. For 12 years on here, people have known me to blather on about my love of smaller scale Muppet figures, and the overall 3 3/4 to 4" scale of 80's...

    2011: What We Know And Can Hope For

    I think we can agree it's all coming to a head next year. Seven years after the house of mouse bought the frog, we'll finally be seeing the full weight of Disney pushing our beloved characters to heights not seen in some time(and most likely even new heights never imagined) So what do we know...

    New Muppet Motion Comics Preview

    Usually "motion comics" seem rather lackluster(ie: DC's efforts on dvd) and not very animated. But correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the new Muppet Motion Comics seem closer to actual animated cartoons than merely being on a "Reading Rainbow" level of book "animation"? Check out the...

    Why Doesn't Boom Kids Take Submissions?

    I was going to send Boom Kids some examples of my best work, which I feel would lend itself naturally to a Muppet title or work...yet I went to email them and it said "WE DO NOT TAKE ANY SUBMISSIONS!" http://www.boom-kids.com/blog/contact/ Is this normal? I can imagine there's a LOT of...

    What Is Considered A Muppet?

    Even after the Disney buyout and the splintering of ownership(divided by JHC, Disney and Sesame Workshop) many fans of the legacy of Jim Henson generally consider any puppet or full body costume made by JHC outside of the creature shop/fantasy realm to be a "Muppet". Be it Bear in the Big blue...
