    Will there be a proper Disney Muppet figure line?

    I've now managed to track down all of the Disney parks Muppet Star Wars figures, which fit peerfectly into my other 3 3/4-4" scale. Hate me, but I prefer these scale and texture way more than the Palisades line(yes I know some of the sculpts are based on the Palisades sculpts) My only...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    Dr Tooth, I'm a little confused...you said parent groups have knee jerk reactions to Sesame Street, but that you find Rosevelt Franklin and Guy Smiley inappropriate due to their behavior? And yeah it was a gross over simplification. However I will say I have great hope for the next...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    That's because today's society and youth are so brain addled with an ADHD world woven around them. I see a lot of children aping the twitchy text and smart phone compulsions they see high schoolers and adults engage in 24/7. Post millennial kids shows and entertainment in general is mostly just...

    Kevin Clash Updates

    The interesting thing is, noone is denying their claims are false...that's the scary thing. The idea of a prominent Muppet performer habitually going on teen chat rooms and...I hate to use the word luring, but I guess talking impressionable broken teenagers up...introducing alcohol or other...

    Kevin Clash Updates

    I was about to celebrate, like the judge saw strong evidence all three were lying. Then my heart kind of sank reading this part So the judge is not at all saying their claims are untrue in the least, but shame on them for not just not reporting them but they 'knew' what they were getting...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    Not sure if posting youtube videos yelling the F word is appropriate for this site. Though I am not one to censor. But moving on, WHAT ABOUT the controversy over Rosevelt Franklin and his sad removal from Sesame Street or "the warning" on the Old School Sesame Street set? See not all the...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    Oh goodness I'm not starting yet another Bert Ernie gay thread. This is just about the totality of all the parents groups, politicians(both democrat and republican), media, etc who obsessively attack Sesame Street whenever they can. And YES! "Cookie Monster is now Veggie Monster". People are...

    Why Is Sesame Street Such A Controversial Lightning Rod?

    Time after time it seems like Sesame Street is always this cultural lightning rod for water cool controversy helped stirred up by the media. The latest is the new yorker cover. Before that it was the "muppet whose parents are in jail" and the fall out of Kevin Clash. Before that it was Big Bird...

    Remembering Jane Henson (1934-2013)

    So grateful that, like Jerry Nelson, I got to meet and talk to Jane Henson. And like Nelson, Jane could not have radiated more positively. Jane wasnt just the co-creator of the Muppets of course, but involved in countless good works, charities, creative projects etc. While we knew Nelson was...

    Cars Sidequel/Spinoff "Planes" Coming Soon

    Coming soon to movie theaters is Disney's spinoff/sidequel to Cars...only instead of Nascar, it's military war planes. I think even Droney the Predator Drone makes a cameo. Find out what war planes do after a busy day of blowing up innocent African and Middle Eastern villages!

    Uncle Deadly as Palpatine, Bean Bunny as Wicket figures announced

    What a coinkydink, I'll be down in the Orange County area that weekend of May 17th, but no way can my family afford Disneyland. I hear Downtown Disney is free...any idea if these will be sold there or do you have to go to California Disney? Theyve jacked prices up so much it's just insane to get in.

    Video: Jim Henson's new Fraggle Rock series "The Doozers"

    Duuude....yes. I thought like every other JHC project we would never hear again about this as it's been several years. But I am seriously digging this. In a way it kind of even feels like Little Big Planet. This gives the Cory seal of approval, just kind of lame there's no US distro plan yet...

    Why Does Disney Hate Muppet Merch?

    Yeah I just don't get it. Not a single Muppet item at any Disney mall store, not even for the holiday season unless there happened to be a leftover plush from 2011. Not a single Muppet thing in Disney stores now. Nothing Muppety wise shown at Toy Fair 2013 save for a few tiny cheap items you'd...
