Much of the info in this thread from MuppetPerson, me and others has been factual, yet it is also framed by opinion that could be stated far more sensitively. In the end, only the top EFX folk know the whole story on Rizzo. They're a small company with very an extremely limited public relations...

Ah. Like frog for me. :o

I found MirrorMask to be beautiful, but self-indulgent and it marred the Jim Henson Company's motion picture cred for years. It's not a film in any legit narrative sense. It's an experimental artwork. That is the only way it works. It should never have been marketed as a movie. Neil Gaiman...

I'd have loved for Rizzo to come in at $249, but as long as he's in the $300 price range he'll likely have a home in San Francisco. I'd make the appropriate sacrifices for that. I just hope that EFX spaces these items out enough. I can only afford 2-per year and would like a complete set if...

Is this an Elmo program? I don't understand. Isn't Cartoon Network already running live action reality programming?

Personally I'd like to see more monster walkarounds like Thog.

I have to admit that they are using some really improved clip art these days. The latest Rizzo and Gonzo are so much better than past versions. Pepe is hard to capture in drawn form, but the one being used has been around for a while. It's okay. Everything's in the right place. He just kind of...

I know. I'm a huge Roger Rabbit fan. It comes right after Jim Henson's works for me. It's all Eisner's doing. He killed Roger Rabbit. But it looks like his absence is created a mending of ways between Disney and Spielberg. Roger really was a Zemekis/Spielberg picture, but the money came from...

I liked the Roger Rabbit one, but where are his pupils? All this Muppet Stuff is great, but should be available for all ages (and sexes). :o

I finally read through the Pigs in Space comic. I absolutely love the artwork! The stylization works perfectly for every character except Miss Piggy. It's weird because she's the artist's favorite character, but the pig just doesn't rise to the level of the rest of the Muppet gang. It's easy to...

I really don't want to be a hater, but Elmo is only good in Jim Henson's era and in modern times when he works off-the-cuff in interview situations. It's taken looking at some of these old unearthed clips lately that prove there was value in the little red guy in the 80s. The Muppets Tonight...

This art has grown a lot since the Robin Hood 1 cover. Sure, that one was attractive, but there's such a great understanding of the drawn Muppety form. I think this guy gets it best of the artists so far. It's not too cartoony and not too rigidly puppet. I especially like the Gonzo and Camilla...

Andy & Randy were gorgeous puppets and had a few fleeting humorous moments, but most of the writing for them was "on-the-nose" with no subtext. That's the coolest thing about Muppets is they do have primary personalities but there are little things underneath that round out the characters. Andy...

I love it! :flirt: Again, 100% fantastic content, but could be more user friendly with a video scrub, pause and volume control. I'm permitted to surf at work, but I've had to stop and start it so many times to attend to other things. Most users like control over their web experience. That's...

Not to rehash, but here's the skinny In a nutshell: An eager member known for providing inside info pertaining to the new Muppet posers became upset by my inquiries about his capacity with EFX and how much less affluent collectors of MR's line should be considered in the pricing of Rizzo. It is...

Pitch perfect. The Gonzo puppet didn't bother me that much even though it makes the MR one look perfect. ;) I do wonder what's going on there. :concern:

I've had faith in this too. It's typical for custom pieces. Thanks for the update. :super:

I always found My Space spooky and had this pre-2000s look to it. The blasting music from some pages was also off-putting. Then my old client Ken from Palisades invited me to join Facebook. His profile picture at the time was one snapped from the old Jim Henson NYC Townhouse. He had his hand in...

So true. I actually have a particular gift with people that doesn't always come across here for exactly the reasons you stated. I'm a part-time manager for a collectibles shop located in downtown San Francisco. Needless to say I greet many colorful people from all walks of life, financial...

Facebook is the one I chose and it's gotten a lot more ala carte privacy settings recently. My Space always creeped me out for some reason. FB is fairly simple. Sure, they're fads, but the user can easily get exactly what they want from it if used correctly. I guess my advice is to draft out...
