    When will toys tieing in to The Muppets be released?

    If you buy the new stickerbook, place the stickers on a magnetic sheet so that you can create your own Muppet Show on the fridge!!

    When will toys tieing in to The Muppets be released?

    There really wasn't much merchandise for either of those films either, but they didn't do very well. I suspect that "The Muppets" are going to perform solidly at the box office and that will lead to merch.

    When will toys tieing in to The Muppets be released?

    You're so right. That's exactly where we are right now. Toy sales are fickle. Sticker books, clothes, iphone apps, puppets and music downloads are really the safest bets until box office receipts reflect a clear demand from the general public. It's better than seeing an overflow of Muppet merch...

    When will toys tieing in to The Muppets be released?

    I get what you're saying, but stating that there we're "happy with no merchandise" is inaccurate. There IS Muppet merchandise on the market. Puppets, music, books and clothing cover a lot of territory for now. If it sells Disney will make more. I know people's eyes light up when they see...

    When will toys tieing in to The Muppets be released?

    Let's worry about the picture doing well first so that there's an undeniable demand for merch. Disney's doing the Muppets right in just about every other way there is. I'm not surprised they're cautious with merchandise at this point. But heck...THERE'S A FRIGGIN' BEAKER PUPPET!! Come on. That's...

    When will toys tieing in to The Muppets be released?

    Novelizations, sticker books, character puppets, keychains, tee shirts, Vinylmations, Whatnot puppets and a compilation album released several before the movie hits theaters aren't exactly nothing. There's more to come, but it will be a trickle rather than a downpour. That's the smart way to do...

    Which format is better for the Muppet Movie?

    Media should be viewed how it was intended to be seen: The Muppet movies = Widescreen Wide: The whole band with Lips! or Cropped: Where's Floyd? Viewing media outside the perimeters of initial intent would relate to a personal fetish rather than a legitimate attempt to honor the artwork...

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    The current exposure of corporate greed on Wall Street is kind of being represented in "The Muppets" movie via Tex Richman and his eviction of the Muppets from their theater due to his oil interests. No matter what side of the issue you fall on, isn't it great to see the Muppets being socially...

    The best and worst uses of Flash animation

    i do wish they'd do this quarterly rather than every several weeks. it doesn't take long to update, but it is a pain :sigh:

    The Bible and Love and Christians

    Well, protests and causes are usually known by their leadership. Many of the most vocal members of the Tea Party have spearheaded a lot of hate-filled initiatives, but I'm sure there are many people who support the root issues without any of the homophobic, xenophobic or racist sentiments from...

    Muppet Puppets at FAO

    These are definitely for kids, but that's a good thing. Too many children haven't known the Muppets for far too long. The fact that the movie is rated PG instead of just G and that they're launching this youth-oriented merchandise on the market means they're working this brand like they would...

    I won't be posting anymore...

    I suspect this is not the only community that you have caused trouble. I believe the uncivilized way you've reacted in this forum and this thread speaks for itself against my 11 years of membership and service to this forum along with other members like Beaker who have been here even longer than...

    Muppet Puppets at FAO

    Okay, here's my take on it. The first tweak is something that could be accomplished under the same manufacturing process. Just different, flat-faced eyes and some fur management. The third revision here is what I think could be accomplished using the same materials, but such detail could...

    Muppet Puppets at FAO

    Aw, it actually looks much better than that. We're going to get some dumbing-down of the character - especially in the hair/fur department. Nothing can replicate ostrich feathers. Other than that, this is a very close version that can be kept on budget with approved materials.The Fisher Price...
