    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    It takes time to get this sort of manufacturing cost and feasibility in order. There's no doubt EFX wanted to get the pre-order price out before Christmas. If they could have they would. They appear to be a very small company with some very big licenses. I just hope all this time-delay is an...

    Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers

    That's quite a can of worms. If they didn't have so many watchdogs on them they'd be even worse. The news business has an inherent liberal media viewpoint. For some reason, many of the same characteristics that attract people to become reporters are also found in Democrats. That's a truth I...

    Christmas Smurfs Figures

    Nice and classic.

    Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers

    I'll repeat: Fox News used to balance the equation of predominantly liberal reporting with their rabidly conservative slant, but not any more. All news these days is sensationalistic garbage, but none as much as Fox News. They stir the pot to reap profits. They're the bullies of the playground...

    RIP Brittany Murphy

    I know this will be in the news all week long. A heart attack at 32 usually has to do with poor diet, a preexisting health condition or abuse of narcotics. She seemed like a troubled person in recent reports, but she was also a very talented actress of stage and screen. I do hope they focus on...

    Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers

    You might agree with the channel's "infotainment" point of view, but this Mr. Rogers segment is part of a pattern that is indicative of all of their programming. Just because some might agree with many of this cable news bully's biased talking points doesn't mean the presentation is fair or...

    Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers

    The title of this thread is "Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers" so speaking of that network's agenda in relation to this sort of subject matter is on topic. Thanks. :attitude:

    Was this really news? Fox News attacks Mr. Rogers

    Fox News commentators are notorious for misconstruing the term "tolerance" and such sentiments as liberal propaganda. These key Fox News personalities act as if tolerance will lead to an opposing viewpoint to eradicate their more conservative ones. Of course this is all silly and untrue. It's...

    Top 10 Muppeteers of all time?

    1. Frank Oz (sharpest natural skills and best performer hands-down) :o 2. Jim Henson (of course) :) 3. Dave Goelz (soulfulness and zaniness) :concern: 4. Richard Hunt (made the most of any and every performance) 5. Jerry Nelson (distinct voice and performance every time) 6. Bill Barretta...

    eFX Collectibles to produce Muppet Replicas

    Speaking of expense...the price announcement keeps getting pushed back. We were supposed to know it this summer, then September at D23 and so forth. My guess is that it will be well after the holidays. It would be great to know if I should keep saving up or if the amount will be above my price...

    Has Disney Redeemed Themselves?

    There's Disney's traditional feature animation, short subject animation and television animation (not to mention Pixar and their other computer animation projects). Disney's feature animation is unmatched and shouldn't be lumped in with the rest. As for the short-subject animation - classic...

    Top Annoying Misnaming People Do

    The Top 10 Mistakes I Hear: 10. Confusing Gonzo with Grover. 09. Misnaming Jim Henson as Hanson, Hensen, Henderson or so on. 08. Not knowing the names of Statler and Waldorf. 07. Mistaking the Muppet Babies for the classic Muppets when the subject is brought up. 06. Misnaming Bunsen as...

    New Fraggle Rock Clothing Line coming!

    What's with this excess of bleach? I haven't used the stuff in years, but I don't wear many whites. I like the vintage look, but it can be taken too far and mar the quality of the print rather than provide style. It's all in how the designer pulls it off. The shirts are cool-looking. Still...

    Official Bohemian Rhapsody MP3 now available

    This isn't a mistake Disney would usually make. I call Scandinavian shenanigans! :mad:

    Fraggle Rock Event!

    Henson appears to be quite disorganized these days (or at least that's the face they show to the public) so I doubt any additional Fraggles have been built for a viral web campaign. My guess is that they'll start promoting it once the film's in the can. Karen seems to always be up to performing...

    2009 Animated Films

    Golden Globe noms just in: Coraline (just plain WOW on all fronts) Fantastic Mr. Fox (almost as good as Coraline) The Princess and the Frog (great traditional animation is back at Disney) Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (enjoyable film, but not award-worthy) Up (Pixar excellence, but...
