    Spencer's Muppet Merchandise

    Actually, Spencer's began selling some of its most sexually graphic merchandise right in the front mixed in with the teen stuff sadly. One action figure disgracefully has our current President...well, I cant even say. But yeah Im far from some fuddy duddy conservative, but I just dont like a lot...

    Spencer's Muppet Merchandise

    They also have a Gobo and Red Fraggle beanie hat, and a ton of Sesame stuff(shirts, wallets, accessories, etc) I am not too fond of Spencers either, simply for the focus on trashy culture, and an emphasis on Juggalo/MMA/pot culture and adult products. However I fully support any store...

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    Oh I just meant comments on its significance or relation to the whole concept of the Muppets as "has beens". You're right, that is a particularly irksome situation, not being able to shake the perception of being kiddy fodder, or old nostalgia. I'm curious to see how far they go with the "has...

    Is there Muppet continuity/canon?

    Ooh I love that clip! It makes sense they'd show Oscar's family, since we've seen plenty of other types of grouches. Are kid's book considered canon like the Star Wars books are? As according to that muppet wiki, Gonzo's relatives only appear in the Muppet kids book line. I figure MB and...

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    Very unexpected news! Im surprised noone has commented on this yet. That is a pretty interesting spoiler though. I honestly didn't think the JHC company would be so involved in this production, least not to that level. I like the idea of the Muppets as "has beens", perhaps a nod to the pop...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    An interesting thing for a Sesame movie could be going the TMM/TMTM route, wherein have the Sesame characters roaming the real world. Like New York or elsewhere. Elmo in Grouchland I felt partially suffered from being all within sets

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Oh you'd be amazed what you can find at your local Good Will. All the Good Wills in my area have huge 50 cent toy bins, so Ive been able to do a little bit of ebay selling some stuff I find. Marshals and Ross had a piddly toy section, which seems heavily discounted...if you like Ben 10 and GI...

    Questions About The Toy Industry

    Yeah Disney has just been amazing this past decade with their collector and super niche collector merchandise/toys. Ive seen Disney work with super underground Japanese toy companies(basically, a guy in a tiny shop) release ultra limited almost DIY home made figures. If anyone has followed the...

    Weinstein rolls with Fraggle Rock movie

    Perhaps, Lionsgate could do it? At this point, I think we're all in the "we'll believe it when we see on the set production footage" Sadly, that proposed Red skit that was supposed to be included in the 4th season set may have been our only real chance at seeing new Fraggle material
